Selling my business, One Sweet Kitchen, to my employee in late 2020. Being a baker had been my identity for years, but everything in my life was telling me to let it go. Most of my journey from fear to freedom was getting over what others would perceive as me “giving up.” Wasn’t being your own boss the ultimate goal? I’m a huge champion of small business, and I’m now a bigger champion of listening to your head and your heart to know that business ownership isn’t for everyone.
