YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat if the thing making you sick… is the thing everyone told you was normal?
In this episode of Digital Social Hour, Sean sits down with Addison LaBonte, founder of Sweet Addison’s, to talk about building a healthy dessert brand from scratch, healing her body through food, and why being different is actually your biggest advantage.
Addison shares how she went from finance to launching a business out of her apartment kitchen, working 100+ hour weeks, and scaling through pure discipline and smart marketing. She also opens up about the moment doctors told her she might never run normally again — and how changing her diet completely reversed it.
This episode breaks down the truth about “healthy” food, why clean eating costs more, how influencer marketing can explode a brand, and the mindset it takes to keep going when things get hard.
If you’re trying to build something, fix your health, or think differently — this one will hit.
