E25 - Oh Cakes Winnie - The reality of giving up a career and losing your purpose. Then finding baking to build yourself back up into something inspirational!
This week we’re in Luxembourg to speak with Winnie. Fashion designer-turned baker and content creator with some pretty amazing bakes. For example her cake rolls which are extremely unique.
This creative type fell into baking but it was never really part of the plan. Giving up a career and figuring out what to do in life was a struggle. However, baking has gone from being just something fun to keep the brain busy to now baking all sorts of creative content.
For someone with almost 700 thousand followers, she only just created a website! But that doesn’t phase Winnie. She just goes with the flow and gives herself the space to be creative and let herself flourish. She’s been in some from of design and creativity for most of her life so this is now the natural continuation of what she loves as a person.
She’s been in the fortunate position to have a husband continue to work to reduce the pressure on her to have to perform with her baking from the get go. This has allowed her to develop her skills over time and see where it all takes her. But as many of you know, the baking machine sucks you in bit by bit and you find yourself eventually turning this hobby into something full time.
How did Winnie handle that transition? Listen on to hear her journey.
