⚠️ Trigger warning: this episode includes discussion around mental health and moments of not wanting to wake up.
I sat down with Erinn Weatherbie, one half of Kelly’s Bake Shoppe, for a conversation that stayed with me long after we finished recording.
We talk about Erinn’s childhood and how “healthy food” was never labeled that way in her home, it was just food. She shares the story of starting a business with her mom while still in university, and the huge transitions that have come with working together for more than 15 years.
Erinn opens up about the mindset that carried her through it all: the power of positive thinking, deciding that failure was never an option, and redefining what failure and success actually look like when you align them with your own purpose.
Our conversation also touches on the harder chapters, the impact of COVID-19 on small businesses, navigating cancel culture that ultimately led to the loss of a book deal, and the mental health challenges that can come with having both your business and your character questioned publicly.
It was an honest, thoughtful, and incredibly inspiring conversation that I personally took so much from. I truly hope you listen with an open heart.
