THE OVENS ARE HOT AGAIN, AND I HAVE A STORY TO TELL
Back in 2013, I thought I had it all figured out—a career as a Communications Strategist and a tv/radio producer, a life built on strategy and motion. Then, my world went static. Lupus, and then later on RA, Fibromyalgia, Reynaulds Syndrome, Steroid-induced Diabetes, and Hypertension. All these diagnoses that took away my speech and the use of my right side brought everything to a full, painful stop.
I spent those years in a dark cocoon. I reinvented myself from a communications consultant to a baker. In 2016, I founded Sweet Purpose as the chief baker. Still, in 2022, I had to stop completely due to additional diagnoses, especially rheumatoid arthritis, that robbed me of my ability to be a baker. I had to learn the hard way that when your body decides to quit, you have to get creative if you want to live. I turned my kitchen into a laboratory. I researched, I failed, and I rebuilt my entire relationship with food, grain by grain, until I found recipes that didn't just taste good—they actually healed.
But I need to be honest: I didn't make this comeback alone.
To the friends, family, and colleagues who checked in when I couldn't speak, who sent support when the medical bills felt like a mountain, and who held my hand through the tears—I am here today because of you. You carried me emotionally and financially when I had nothing left to give, and I will never forget it. This book is a testament to the fact that your love, quite literally, helped keep me alive.
Today, I’m finally back, and I want to share the "Sweet Purpose" I found in that silence.
My ebook, The Butterfly Baker: Resilience, Recipes & Art of Comeback, is officially live on Amazon. It’s not just a collection of recipes; it’s my personal "Special Report" on how to survive when the world stops.

And for those who want a taste of this journey, Sweet Purpose is officially open for orders. These aren't just cakes; they are the result of three years of research to create something healthier, better, and finally, sweet again.
If you want a cake that loves your body back, send me a DM. Let’s celebrate.
A pause is never a period. Thank you for walking this road with me. Let’s start the next chapter. 💜
