Let me say that again…you are allowed to be wherever you’re at on your sourdough journey. There is no time limit for learning. I’m saying this to me as much as I’m saying it to you. To be honest, I have struggled a lot this year with imposter syndrome. For a long time I had a great routine and great results with my sourdough. But this year, the addition of a new oven, a new kitchen, and baking at a much larger scale has brought with it a huge learning curve that I did not expect. The new challenges and problem solving have definitely caused me to doubt myself at times. I have had to remind
myself of two things: 1. Every baker goes through these things at one time or another and almost no one posts about it on the internet. Ain’t nobody out here photographing their ugly, underproofed loaf and posting it for the world to see. And 2. Each week I’m learning and
growing and improving my craft. I’m putting in the work and slowly getting the hang of all of the “new” this year has brought. There are still things I want to improve and I know perseverance will pay off. We have to be patient with the process and remember that comparing ourselves to others really is not productive. All we can do is give ourselves grace for the mistakes, keep working and learning, and keep showing up. Thank you to all my wonderful customers who have continually encouraged me through the growing pains this year. You all are the reason I'm still here, hustling to get to the market each week. Thank you so much for all your love and support🩷.
