This week, we venture to West Annapolis, where Root to Bloom is creating a safe, inspiring space for young girls and their mothers to connect in meaningful ways. Dr. Kim Palmiotto, the owner and guiding force behind Root to Bloom, sat down with us to share the vision behind her new business and the unique approach she’s bringing to the community.

Root to Bloom blends creative expression with personal connection, offering camps and classes in art, cooking, and other hands-on activities designed to spark conversation and deepen relationships. While Dr. Palmiotto is a trained therapist, she’s quick to point out that these aren’t therapy sessions—but the benefits can be just as powerful.

In our conversation, we explored the challenges teen girls face today, from the pressures of social media to the need for safe spaces where they can express themselves without judgment. Dr. Kim also shared practical, encouraging ways parents can support their daughters during these critical years.

Whether you’re looking for a fun class to enjoy together, a summer camp that builds confidence, or simply a place where creativity and connection thrive, Root to Bloom is worth discovering because small moments of shared creativity can blossom into lasting bonds.

Have a listen!
