14. DECIDING TO LEAVE MY HOME KITCHEN AND FIND A COMMERCIAL SPACE! *BONUS LOCKDOWN EP*

11. HOBBY TURNED SELF EMPLOYMENT
Hi Sweeties! This episode was recorded about a month ago now, but I thought it was still a useful one to share! Sorry for the absence in episodes, the last month has been crazy busy! But I am back and can't wait to record some new episodes! This one is all about my hobby turning into self employment and the pros and cons I have found so far. If anything, I hope it gives at least one of you the push to follow your dreams! I believe in you! Follow us on the @letschatsweeties instagram to stay up to date with new episodes and ask us any questions to be featured in future eps. x

9. "TOXIC HUSSLE CULTURE" & EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT MARKETS!
Heya! In this weeks episode I chat about my opinion on the instagram stories that often do the rounds, saying we should stop glorifying a toxic hustle lifestyle and look after ourselves better. I have wanted to talk about this for many months, so now that I have a podcast platform I thought it would be the perfect place. I also let you guys know everything I know about attending a market day as a cake stall. From the equipment you need, to my tips to a successful market day. Follow us on the @letschatsweeties insta!
