After taking some much-needed time to rest and recharge over the holidays, I’m back with a heartfelt reflection on December. In this episode, I’m sharing the highs and lows of a busy holiday baking season, what worked (and what didn’t), and the lessons I’m taking into 2025. Whether you’re navigating seasonal surges or dreaming of a smoother workflow, this episode is packed with honest insights and practical takeaways to inspire your next steps.

I’m also pulling back the curtain on my goals for the year ahead—from refining my bakery schedule to cultivating stronger connections with my customers. If you’re ready to grow intentionally, create balance, and learn from someone who’s been there, this one’s for you. Grab your coffee, settle in, and let’s dive into this fresh start together!
