In episode 332, Barbara Curry teaches us about why it's essential to collaborate and build community as food bloggers and why this will help build and sustain our blogs.

Barbara is an attorney who started a food blog, Butter & Baggage, as a hobby when her children moved out of the house. In 2018, she turned it into a business sharing her special recipes for comfort food with a Southern flair and obsession with butter. As someone who came to food blogging at a later age and having to manage an intense full-time job, Barbara soon found that seeking out help from her blogging community would propel her business in the right direction quicker. Tune in to find out about the different ways she met and collaborated with other bloggers and how this has lessened frustration and uncertainty.
