In episode 405, Natasha Levai teaches us how to stay motivated as we wait for our food blogs to grow.

Natasha is a half-Russian, half-Ukrainian living in Eastern Hungary with her family. Her food blog, Natasha's Home, focuses on gluten-free cooking and baking, including gluten-free sourdough recipes. Natasha is up front about being a beginner, with her blog live for a little over a year. She is in the process of learning and growing toward making this business into a full-time job. Natasha's first job was at McDonald's and, more importantly, doing much-needed work at orphanages around the world for most of her adult life.
