If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to have an assistant in your microbakery—or if you’re feeling overwhelmed and know you need help but don’t know where to start—this episode is for you. I’m chatting with Melissa, my former assistant, about what it really looks like to bring someone into your space, how to know you’re ready, and what tasks you can delegate to lighten your load without sacrificing quality.

We dive into hiring mindset shifts, the value of a working interview, and what it means to create a business that’s sustainable for the long haul. Whether you’re considering a seasonal helper for the holidays or thinking about more long-term support, this conversation is full of insights to help you build a bakery that doesn’t burn you out.
