Women Who Turn Moments Into Movements: Cheyenne Moore’s Story from Florida
"I was very stubborn as a child and refused to do anything that I did not want to do. I was very curious and liked to learn."
Some people follow the path they’re given.
Others question it.
Rewrite it.
Break it open and build something entirely their own.
When we sat down with Cheyenne Moore, one thing became clear very quickly. She moves through life with curiosity, openness, and the kind of adventurous spirit that makes every chapter feel like the start of a new story.
Raised in Florida by a single mother and surrounded by nature, Cheyenne grew up learning independence early, but also something just as important: how to truly enjoy the world around her.
This is the story of someone who never stopped exploring, creating, and living life on her own terms.

Sunshine, Dirt Roads, and a Childhood Outdoors
Growing up in Florida meant something different for Cheyenne than it might for someone visiting on vacation.
“Florida tends to evoke a sense of relaxation,” she says. “Which is probably why so many people move or vacation here.”
But for her, it was simply home.
“I was always aware that what felt normal to me was something others viewed as special or something they used as an escape.”
With warm weather most of the year, the outdoors naturally became part of daily life. There were always things to do outside, places to explore, adventures waiting just beyond the front door.
“My family is pretty adventurous,” she says. “We were always up for doing something we hadn’t done before.”
Some of her favorite memories come from the summers she spent at camp, where her mom worked.
“We got to do fun field trips together, and those were really memorable.”
And during the school year, when her mom was working, Cheyenne learned to entertain herself.
“I had to keep myself busy,” she says. “So I found ways.”
That independence shaped her early.
“I became very independent at a young age,” she says. “My friends and I were always doing something outside.”
A Wild Kind of Femininity
Cheyenne often describes herself as having grown up a tomboy. Dirt, bugs, scraped knees, none of it bothered her.
But her understanding of femininity grew into something far more nuanced than stereotypes.
“If I remember correctly there are four different versions of femininity,” she says thoughtfully. “I’ve always leaned into the ‘wild’ version.”
The kind connected to instinct, nature, and a slightly untamed spirit.
“The one connected to intuition and freedom,” she explains.
At the same time, she recognizes that these traits are not strictly gendered.
“These can just be human traits,” she says. “Not necessarily bound by gender.”
Still, she embraces the complexity of womanhood fully.
“I still possess the other womanly attributes too,” she says. “Nurturing, responsible, adventurous, emotionally expressive.”
For her, femininity is not about fitting a role.
“My definition of femininity is embracing yourself,” she says. “Allowing every facet, wild or nurturing, fierce or tender, to exist without shrinking.”
And most importantly.
“Without feeling confined to one version of what a woman should be.”
Curiosity, Exploration, and the Joy of Simply Trying
If there is one thing Cheyenne is known for, it is her willingness to try things.
Chef. Pop up restaurant owner. Muay Thai coach. Home renovator. Thrift enthusiast.
The list is long, and she laughs when talking about it.
“That’s definitely a personality trait I was born with,” she says. “I have a high desire for exploration and growth.”
Trying new things simply excites her.
“I love new food, traveling, meeting people,” she says. “Most of my family is like that too. Party people with a sense of adventure.
That same curiosity shows up in the way she approaches creativity.
She loves thrifting old items and restoring them, bringing something overlooked back to life.
“I like to find the beauty in the overlooked,” she explains.
Her philosophy is deeply influenced by the concept of wabi sabi, the beauty found in imperfection.
“I’ve always loved really old things,” she says. “Furniture, philosophy, movies.”
For Cheyenne, classics provide a foundation.
“The best things to study and create from are the classics,” she says. “Then you mix old style with a hint of newness.”
The result is something she describes as a “dreamy juxtaposition.”
Something timeless, but still personal.
Working With Your Hands, Working With Nature
Beyond creativity, Cheyenne finds grounding in physical work and hands on creation.
“What can I say?” she laughs. “I’m a hippie at heart.”
Cooking, gardening, building things, experimenting with projects. These are the moments where she feels most connected.
“I have the best time when I’m doing primal things like working with my hands,” she says.
There is something deeply calming about it.
“It activates something inside of me and calms me down at the same time.”
Working with nature and materials has also helped her understand herself better.
“I’ve learned a lot about what I like and don’t like just by trying new projects and recipes.”
And independence has always been part of that journey.
“Sometimes I couldn’t find people who had the same interests as me,” she says. “But I wasn’t going to let that slow me down.”
So she kept building, creating, and learning on her own terms.
A New Chapter With Ever Lasting
Cheyenne’s path eventually led her to Ever Lasting, but the journey there involved a moment of reflection.
She began working young.
“As soon as I turned 16, I started working,” she says. “Most of my jobs required physical presence and manual labor.”
Then something shifted.
“About two years ago something in me woke up,” she says. “I realized where I was in life wasn’t aligning with my higher self.”
So she stepped back.
“I took about six months off,” she says. “I started researching, reading, doing some inner work.”
She took courses, explored new directions, and began applying for internships.
And that is how she joined our little Ever Lasting family.
For Cheyenne, the experience has opened a completely new world by helping her understand the inner wokrings of running an online business.
But she sees this as just one step in a much larger journey. A stepping stone.
When we ask her what success looks like, she answers without hesitation.
“Success to me is intentional freedom.”
“Most people are free to do what they want,” she says. “But many don’t because they feel tied to rules, locations, or expectations.”
Her vision is clear.
“I want to travel the world working from my laptop.”
And then she gives us a conspitaorial smile.
“And so I shall.”
For now, she is learning, growing, and exploring what comes next.
“And Ever Lasting is helping my explorative side shine.”
Final Thoughts: The Spirit of Exploration
If there is one thing Cheyenne Moore’s story reminds us, it is that growth rarely follows a straight line.
Sometimes it looks like trying something new.
Sometimes it looks like stepping away and starting again.
Sometimes it looks like trusting the part of yourself that wants to explore.
Cheyenne has always followed that instinct.
The one that says yes to adventure.
Yes to curiosity.
Yes to becoming something new.
And sometimes, the women who turn moments into movements are simply the ones brave enough to keep exploring.
Cheyenne Moore’s outdoor childhood in Florida shaped her independence and curiosity.
