I Was a Baker First: Why It Wasn't My Forever

Published on January 18, 2026 at 3:19 PM

Before nails, before business planning, before finding me true creative outlet- I was a baker. It was something i loved, something i was proud of, and something I thought would be my forever.

 

How Baking Became My Passion

Baking started as a creative escape. I loved making people happy through food and seeing reactions when they tasted something I'd made. It gave me confidence and purpose during a time when I needed both.

 

When Something You Love Starts to Change

Over time, I started feeling restless. I still loved baking, but i didn't love the lifestyle. The hours, the pressure, and the physical demand didn't fit the life i was building with my family.

 

Letting Go Without Guilt

Walking away from baking wasn't easy. I felt guilty for changing paths, especially after investing so much time and energy. But i learned that outgrowing something doesn't mean it failed- it means  it served its purpose. 

 

What Baking Taught Me

Creativity matters

You're allowed to pivot

Your dream can evolve

 

Baking was a chapter-not the whole book. And that realization opened the door to do something even better.
