When KC faced open-heart surgery in 2016, her perspective on health shifted dramatically. Recovery pushed her to overhaul her diet, which eventually sparked a passion for baking cookies that everyone could enjoy—regardless of dietary restrictions.

By 2020, KC had transitioned from classroom teacher to baking entrepreneur, launching KC Sunshine's Cookies.

In this episode, we discuss:

• How KC made the leap from teaching to baking—and what’s actually harder: teaching or starting a business
• How adopting a gluten-free diet changed her relationship with food
• The challenges she faced along the way, including manufacturing setbacks that slowed her growing brand
• How age, experience, and wisdom gave her the courage to persevere through the tough times
