E17 - Cas Cakery - STOP! Running your own business is killing your mental health! How to deal with it and move on.
Toowomba Australia, which is in Queensland in case you were curious - is not a place we ever thought we’d end up but in this little place is home to a brand that’s known world wide - Cas Cakery.
Cassie, or “Cas” speaks with us today about her journey and what is so interesting here is that in such a short space of time she has rocketed her business from nothing to something incredible in just 5 short years.
What I love about Cassie is she reminds us about being honest about ourselves, reminding ourselves to make it fun, and most importantly, just take care of yourself. The stress of running a baking business can take its toll on all of us. Cassie has been very good about making sure she looks after herself mentally, physically, and emotionally. Doing this has only allowed herself to blossom further in her business and push herself forward even more.
Of course, she didn’t always do it this way. She’s hit that burn out stage multiple times, with frustration running high. But through all that she’s learned to watch for it before it happens so she can deal with it better. I think this is a skill that we don’t all have. So, this is why this episode makes for a great listen. Seeing that signs that suggest you need to adjust what you’re doing.
Do you struggle with burn out, resentment, frustration? Keep listening, there might be something in this that will help you take it all in your stride and manage it. I really hope you enjoy this one. Let’s rock on with Cassie’s baking journey.
