    S3 Ep8 She Bought a Horse Trailer on a Whim… and Built a Swedish Candy Business

    In this episode of You’d Be Surprised, Becka and Chelsea sit down with Lara Lindquist, founder of Sweet Swede Candy, to talk about motherhood, entrepreneurship, and the courage to take a leap into something new. Raised in Bozeman, Montana, Lara shares stories of her adventurous childhood, her love story with her Swedish husband, and how her family’s connection to Sweden inspired her to bring authentic Swedish candy to Cache Valley. What began with an impulse purchase of a horse trailer turned into a unique mobile candy shop featuring imported Swedish sweets, natural coloring, and a nostalgic, hands-on shopping experience. Lara opens up about the realities of running a business while raising two children, from the behind-the-scenes challenges of entrepreneurship to learning how to balance family, work, and personal fulfillment. She also shares the importance of community, supporting other local businesses, asking for help, and giving yourself grace as a mom. This conversation is a reminder that you don’t have to have everything figured out to get started, and sometimes the best opportunities come from taking a chance, embracing your creativity, and having the grit to keep going.

    S3 E3 Bailey Bybee — A Story of Resilience, Motherhood, and Fighting for the Miracles

    In this heartfelt episode, Bailey Bybee shares her incredible journey through life with cystic fibrosis, motherhood, and the unexpected challenges that have shaped her family. Bailey talks about growing up in Nibley, her close relationship with her family, her love of soccer, and how her parents encouraged her to live fully despite the limitations doctors once placed on her future. Bailey opens up about being diagnosed with cystic fibrosis as a baby, the daily treatments she endured growing up, and the fear surrounding a disease that once drastically shortened life expectancy. She shares how a breakthrough medication, Trikafta, changed her life by improving her health and allowing her to step into a future she never thought possible — including becoming a mother. She shares her love story with her husband Brad, their journey from high school acquaintances to falling in love in New York City, and building a life together. Bailey also talks about her career as a nurse, working in trauma ICU and labor and delivery, and how those experiences shaped her perspective on life, loss, and caring for others. One of the most powerful parts of the conversation is Bailey’s path to motherhood. After years of uncertainty about whether she would ever be able to have children, she shares the emotional journey of fertility treatments, welcoming her first two children, and experiencing pregnancies she never thought would happen. Bailey also shares the emotional story of her youngest son Boone, who was diagnosed before birth with hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), a serious heart condition requiring multiple surgeries. She opens up about the fear, uncertainty, difficult decisions, and the strength it took to advocate for her son while navigating the unknown. This episode is a powerful reminder that life rarely follows the path we expect, but hope, faith, resilience, and a strong support system can carry us through even the hardest seasons.
