On this episode of A Mo’ment with Mo, Mo sits down with longtime friend, entrepreneur, and award-winning leader Surria Fadel for an inspiring conversation about passion, purpose, perseverance, and the courage to begin again.

Surria shares her journey from the fitness industry to becoming the co-founder of Cedar Valley, a grassroots Canadian food company she launched in 2015 with her then 16-year-old son, Ameen. What began as a family project has grown into a nationally recognized Canadian brand, with its own manufacturing facility, an appearance on Dragons’ Den, and a powerful story of resilience behind it all.

Together, Mo and Surria explore the lessons that shaped her path, from learning to embrace change and redefining “no” as “not now,” to finding strength in failure, staying connected to your why, and showing other women that it is never too late to follow a dream.

Surria also shares exciting news about stepping outside her comfort zone once again for a major Canadian summer reality show, reminding us that reinvention is not about becoming someone new. It is about becoming more of who you have always been.

This episode is a beautiful reminder that every chapter prepares us for what comes next, and that passion, purpose, and perseverance can move us closer to who we are meant to be.
