81. April In Review: Wins, Lessons & What’s Next


Listen Later

April was a whirlwind in the bakery, and in this episode, I’m sitting down to reflect on what worked, what I learned, and how I’m setting myself up for May and the summer ahead. From porch pickups and Easter bakes to market wins and saying no to burnout, I’m sharing the choices I made to keep things running smoothly—like scaling back my menu, planning ahead, and leaning on tools like my recipe calculator to simplify bake days. You’ll hear honest takeaways about revenue, product sellouts, and why consistency matters more than perfection.

I’m also giving a peek at what’s ahead, including slowing down summer bake days, shifting to one podcast episode a week, and launching the new Breadwinner Network for even deeper support. Whether you’re curious about batch planning, navigating busy seasons, or making space for family and rest, this episode is packed with encouragement and practical insights you can apply to your own microbakery journey.
