I grew up almost exclusively eating pixy stix, reese cups, anything my aunt baked (shoutout to her peanut butter bars) and no joke, tubes of straight up icing (ask my parents) and then I fell in love with everything health and fitness

I wanted to nourish my body well and feel clear and energetic while also enjoying sweet treats (often)

I started making healthier versions of pancakes, waffles, cheesecake, and anything else I was craving, then one day I made a healthier version of a donut

at the time, I was a personal trainer and started bringing them in as a fun treat for everyone after my fitness classes or to celebrate someone's birthday, engagement, etc

then one day when I was driving, I intentionally decided not to turn on music or a podcast - I let there just be space and silence. it was 'national donut day' and the thought came in that asked “why don’t you sell your donuts today?”

one thought & one instagram post later, I was selling donuts because well… why not? but I didnt think it would become an actual business, the intention was playful, not at all strategic

it grew quickly & organically with minimal "marketing" (aka a tiny email list + instagram/facebook) accompanied by alot of messy action and figuring things out as we went

I took orders via email, instagram DMs, facebook messages, texts - it was chaotic to say the least

as things grew, my mom (like the angel she is) jumped in to help me bake since I was still personal training full time and now had a side hustle I didn’t plan on having

our pickup location for donut orders was various different parking lots for about a year (lol) where we literally sold them out of the back of our cars

and now we are here - full time selling donuts and I get to have the unique experience of building a business with my mom which is so beautiful. my mom and I have always been close but this has created another level in which we can learn to connect on

whatever this turns into our intention is very simple - to serve and love and to bring ourselves to spaces of silence so we can hear the voice telling us where to go next
