Kaytie Rich, founder and owner of the Australian online boutique More Than Wildflowers, featured as a guest on the Val Marie Paper podcast in an episode centred on journaling. The episode brought together customers of Val Marie Paper to talk about the practice, and Kaytie's inclusion reflects her connection to the brand both as a stockist and as someone who draws on these resources personally.

Val Marie Paper is one of the US Christian brands Kaytie carries through More Than Wildflowers, the small online boutique she runs to make Christian resources from the USA more affordable and accessible to people in Australia and New Zealand. Alongside Val Marie Paper, the business stocks products from She Reads Truth, Hosanna Revival, He Reads Truth, Tiny Theologians and others, serving as an Australian stockist for Hosanna Revival.

Kaytie describes the origin of the business as a practical response to a gap she encountered as a customer herself. The idea took shape when she tried to buy products from She Reads Truth and found the US-to-Australia shipping cost was double the price of the product itself. More Than Wildflowers officially launched in February 2020, building a local path to resources that had previously been difficult and expensive to reach from Australia.

For Kaytie, the work is closely tied to her Christian faith, which she sees as central to both her life and the way she frames the business as a ministry. That perspective sits naturally within a podcast episode about journaling, a practice rooted in reflection and the kinds of resources her boutique exists to make available. Her appearance connects the brands she stocks with the people who use them, placing her among the customers whose experience the episode set out to share.
