This week, I sit down with Beth, whose inspiring story is one that so many of us can relate to. After spending 20 years in education—working as a teacher and cheer coach—Beth found herself exhausted, anxious, and feeling trapped in a toxic 9 to 5 environment. Despite her love for the students, the pressures from unsupportive administration and the weight of societal expectations left her feeling stuck and unfulfilled.

Everything changed when Beth made the bold decision to step away from her career, prioritize her happiness, and follow a longtime passion for baking. In a conversation filled with honesty and heart, Beth shares how she turned her love of baking—and memories of her mother in the kitchen—into Charlie Sugar Shop, a bakery that honors her family legacy and brings her daily joy. From the emotional relief of handing in her resignation to the excitement of selling her first batch of cookies, Beth’s journey is a testament to the power of listening to yourself, taking risks, and building a life you truly love.

If you’re feeling lost in your career or wondering if it’s possible to get “unstuck,” Beth’s story just might be the dose of courage you need. Tune in for a conversation about breaking free of limiting beliefs, finding happiness on your own terms, and discovering that sometimes the scariest decisions are the ones that lead to the sweetest outcomes.
