YOUR HOSTS Tesha Buss is the owner/creator of Good Commons and a partner in The Good Retreat Company. Raised on a dairy farm and doing back flips by the age of three, Tesha reached her childhood dream of becoming a Broadway performer, only to discover that a new dream–a retreat center to rest and revitalize–would soon reveal itself. She welcomes the revolving door of health and wellness professionals, artists and vacationers. She is a member of the Okemo Valley and Killington Chamber of Commerce as well as Rotary International.
Erin Smith (Co-Host) was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 1981 and “grew up on a gluten-free diet in a gluten-filled world.” As an adult, she has become extremely involved with the Celiac community, both online and in person. Erin started the blog Gluten-Free Fun in 2007 as a way to show the world that being gluten-free should not stop you from living your life. In 2011 she launched the blogGluten-Free Globetrotter to encourage others on a gluten-free diet to travel the world. In addition to her blogs, Erin oversees the NYC Celiac Disease Meetup Group. This is a social group where members can get together to enjoy gluten-free meals, share food recommendations and recipes as well as learn from one another. Through her blogs, leadership of the Meetup group, and community advocacy, Erin encourages others to not allow their lives to be limited by Celiac Disease but to thrive in all aspects of their lives.
