Real talk: I’ve been pondering the joys of self-belief, knowing my worth, and our dear friend, imposter syndrome. I feel like an imposter all the time! Cakes are my passion, but sometimes I’m convinced I have no clue what I’m actually doing. It’s like I’m just winging it and hoping my cakes don’t implode. I sit there, wondering why people trust me, recommend me, and keep coming back.
Then it hits me—shocker—I DO know what I’m doing! I’m actually good at it. People trust me because I’ve proven I’m good at this, and they keep coming back for that reason. I make cakes that not only look pretty cool but taste AMAZING! Sometimes, we really can be our own worst enemies when it comes to lack of self-belief and mental self-sabotage.
By writing this down and sharing some raw, honest truths, I’m hoping even one person reads it and knows they’re not the only one who feels like this sometimes.
I’m a baker, a mum, a friend, a sister, a daughter, a granddaughter, a pet parent, a business owner… its a lot of hats to wear sometimes and I’m learning I have to trust the process, lean on family and friends when I need them, ask for help and, above all else, be kind to myself! 💐
If you took the time to read this… I appreciate you and thanks for trusting me and being part of my journey!
