This year has been super special for me because it’s the year that I've decided to close the chapter of being a bakery owner and pursue a new interest in my life. It’s been a really awesome journey running the bakery with my awesome team. With the coaching/consulting business that Eddie and I run, we’ve been travelling a lot and juggling both businesses for the last two years has been a little hectic for me, but despite that, my main reasons for choosing to sell the bakery are more personal. 

I’m a completely different person than I was when we started the bakery back in 2009, and my priorities and passions have completely shifted my life. The fact that it’s been over a decade since we started the bakery was also enough of a reason to go into something else.

In this episode, we will share the amazing experiences starting and running the bakery has given us and our kids, and the valuable lessons we’ve learned about hard work and never giving up on our goals no matter the challenges we encounter. 

I’m very excited to step into the next chapter of my life helping women and small business owners step into their power and create the businesses of their dreams, and in that spirit, Eddie and I will share the six steps you can take to help you with the shift in the transition you might be going through as a business owner. Stay tuned as we dive into each one of those steps so you can learn more about them and how you can implement them into your life for greater success and fulfillment.
