Today we’d like to introduce you to Molly Ritter.
Hi Molly, please kick things off for us with an introduction to yourself and your story.
I guess my story began in kindergarten, with my education. My parents put both my brothers and me through Waldorf schools, pre-k through high school. For those of you who aren’t familiar, it is a holistic form of education, with an emphasis on the arts and practical skills, originating in Europe. So creativity was encouraged and fostered from a very young age. Growing up in such an environment, it was a natural transition into performing, which led me to Los Angeles and acting.
Over the years, I have created a robust commercial acting career, which I am thrilled with, and continue to work on my craft every day. As an artist, I firmly believe that art begets art; I have the most success when I am creating on a consistent basis. This has meant various things over the years for me: painting, writing, and most importantly, food blogging. I create, write, and photograph all my own recipes, sharing my love of plant-based, healthier, always delicious, meals on my blog Thyme for Honey. Now I offer a weekly meal prep delivery service featuring plant-based favorites from my blog. I take orders through Instagram, cook and deliver everything on Sundays. Customers have the option to order up to three meals a day for up to three days. I post each week’s menu selections on Wednesdays and am open to requests for custom orders too. I have learned that I am an artist at heart, I will always want to do a million different things; this is one of the reasons I love acting so much, it allows me to constantly express myself in a myriad of ways.
I’m sure you wouldn’t say it’s been obstacle free, but so far would you say the journey have been a fairly smooth road?
Oh boy. Well my first BIG obstacle was not getting into any acting programs for college. And I applied and auditioned three years in a row. Luckily for me, I have a very supportive family and a persevering spirit, so I made my career happen anyways. Looking back, I wouldn’t have done anything differently; most of my peers that I meet at auditions went to college and have mountains of student loans.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
Don’t fast forward through commercials next time you watch tv, you might see me! I typically have spots playing year round, often in the Midwest, heyyyy Nebraska. I love what I do; meeting people on set, sharing stories, and of course acting all keeps me going. When I’m not acting, I’m working on my food blog, Thyme for Honey, or cooking up new recipes for my meal prep delivery service. When I am at my healthiest, I am the best, happiest version of myself, which is what I hope to share with others through my food.
What matters most to you?
I am a naturally happy, positive person. I attribute this to a solid foundation in knowing who I am, but also to truly taking care of myself, inside and out. Drinking water, eating healthy, getting good sleep, and exercising, are just as important as my mental health. My goal is to spread my joy and love of health to as many people as possible.
