    Gretchen here's how i found you, i was at a shit job in 2013, unbeknowst to me at the time, that was among the causes of depression and anxiety, so i quit right after deciding to bake for a living. I had to find videos that would guide me through my first baking experiments so i stumbled upon you and Joy of Baking's channel. You virtually held my hand through that very scary and dark time and for that i'll eternlly grateful; more on how i kept relying on your videos will come

    As a long time viewer, oh Gretchen, you never let on that this was happening behind the scenes.
    I remember watching you work so hard and thinking, God bless her, I could never to it. But you did and your passion was contagious.
    Remember, sometimes we all need to take that leap of faith to get to our dreams. ❤

      Thank you 🙏🏼 Owning a business is never easy and I bought a broken down bakery & my passion was always being tested in that bakery, too many days i dreaded going there for fear of what I would walk into, , but my passion for baking was resparked when I started making UA-cam videos!!

    So interesting Gretchen. All the times things came together and fell apart and came back together in very strange kismet type ways. Very wild. I don’t think I have the fortitude to go what you’ve gone through! At least not with a smile on my face and my sanity intact!
    And as crazy as it all sounds, it sounds like you wouldn’t change a thing lol.
    And also, I bet this is just scratching the SURFACE.
    Great series! Rooting for you as always.

    • @GretchensVeganBakery
      @GretchensVeganBakery  9 місяців тому +1

      Yes. All true. Everything for a reason & this was all meant for me!
      And this is just the start!
      Someone asked me in a comment how many episodes I can plan on making?
      I’m not quite sure but I can say I have 10 years in the bakery and almost another 10 years after that brings me to today!!
      One thing I can confidently say is my life has never had a dull moment!!! 😆🤣🫣😐

    I think Sysco is honestly an ongoing menace to the standards of culinary arts in this country. I enjoyed this Story Time very much and hearing about what, in retrospect, were lucky coincidences unfolding for someone who isn't really a fool : ) Thanks for posting!
