We’re kicking off 2026 with a story that proves it’s never too late to trade a "prescribed" career path for one that’s self-made and sugar-dusted.

In our first episode of the year, we sit down with Varsha, the founder of The Snackist—one of London’s most exciting micro bakeries.

Varsha didn't just change jobs; she changed worlds. She walked away from a degree in medicine to follow a flour-filled calling, and since then, she hasn't looked back. Based in the heart of London, The Snackist has become a staple for those in the know, specialising in artisanal cinnamon rolls and seasonal bakes that are as much a work of art as they are a treat.
