Hannah Holzum teaches us about what it really feels like to start a food blog in 2025 and why courage, community and simple systems matter more than anything.

Hannah is a registered dietitian and food blogger who shares healthy, balanced takes on family favorites. As a mom of three daughters, she knows firsthand how busy weeknights can be, so she focuses on creating recipes that are simple, nourishing, and kid-approved. Her goal is to help families enjoy mealtime together without the stress of cooking multiple dishes.

She is only ten months into her blogging journey, but she has already built systems, invested in smart help, and navigated the overwhelm that comes with being brand new. She walks through the mindset shifts that helped her move forward quickly, the early investments that paid off, and the importance of ignoring traffic obsession in favor of serving real people. If you are starting a blog or thinking about it, you will walk away feeling braver, clearer and less alone.

Key points discussed include:

Overwhelm is normal and starting anyway is the only way forward.

Find your people because community shortens the learning curve and keeps you grounded.

Smart investments matter including tech help and early SEO audits that prevent long term setbacks.

Weekly check ins keep you aligned with your purpose, not just your to do list.

Shiny objects steal momentum so simplify your focus and choose one priority at a time.

Supplemental income is not failure and can support your growth while your blog builds traction.

Traffic is not the point so listen to your community and create what they actually want.

Courage compounds and every brave step you take opens the next one.
