Sometimes the most challenging and stressful moments of your life can bring you unexpected gifts if you listen and accept what the universe is sending your way. In the past year, the Covid pandemic turned upside down millions of people's lives. For the most part, people still struggle to overcome everything that happened and start again to live a normal life. However, some people took this bad event and transformed it into something positive, embracing a new way to live their lives.

Today's guest, Mercy Fabila, will tell us how the loss of her marketing clients during the pandemic brought her to open a successful baking business, embracing a childhood dream again and finding a new way to live a life full of joy and positivity. 

Mercy Fabila has been a marketing consultant for health, wellness and wellness businesses throughout LA for nearly a decade. However, baking was always her tool to reduce severe anxiety and turn off the multiple tabs open in her head. Despite Mercy's strong interest in baking, she wasn't sure how to transform her passion into a real business. With the pandemic temporarily closing most of her client's businesses, she used this free time to bake for friends and family and bring them some sweet joy during these unexpected times. Mercy began testing out various rustic desserts recipes, and after a few months, the most requested dessert was her basque burnt cheesecake. Once she realized that this cake was not easily found, especially in the South Bay, she wanted to get it out there to her community, and she opened her successful new business, Bashi Bakes.
