So this isn’t my usual content, but when I shared this on my stories, it spoke to SO many of my baker friends.
We’ve all been there—trying to go a little harder, take one more order, stay up a little later, squeeze in one more thing… because maybe THIS will be the breakthrough we’ve been working for.
My body has shut down from being overworked before, but this time it jeopardized my safety. I fell asleep while working and woke up to a dulce can that had literally EXPLODED in my kitchen. 😭
That was my reminder that I am a human being before I am a business owner.
So going forward, my terms & conditions are LAW around here. 😂 Deadlines are deadlines. Rush fees are rush fees. My availability is my availability.
I’m still going to go hard for Baby Cakes Café. I’m still going to give my clients everything I have creatively. But I’m going to do it while respecting myself as a human first.
I am not a robot. And just because my job is right outside my bedroom door doesn’t mean I have to let it consume me. 🩷
Success means nothing if I have to run myself into the ground to get there.
