This month’s Bread Winner Podcast episode is one of my favorite types of episodes—the month in review. These monthly check-ins give me space to reflect on what went well, what didn’t, and where I want to go next in both my sourdough microbakery and life. July was intentionally lighter on the baking and heavier on family time, and honestly, it was just what I needed. I’m sharing how scaling back to two markets this month gave me the margin to be present with family, travel, and celebrate our anniversary—without guilt or burnout.

But this episode isn’t just a personal update. I’m also bringing you behind the scenes on market performance, product tweaks (including a new way I tested English muffins), and the exciting, official announcement of my new bakery space.

If you're dreaming of growing your own bakery or just need a dose of encouragement, this one’s for you.
