Baking Breadcrumbs and entrepreneurship with Maiah Episode 6

If you like baked goods, creative spaces, books, & coffee, you will love this episode. This is a great example of what being a Jack of all Trades looks like! Can we do it all? Sure! Maybe not all at the same time, but why not try everything we want to try! Listening to her breadcrumbs and picking them up along the way, has led to every venture she has started.   Finding Your Breadcrumbs with Maiah of @forloveandfrosting and The Secret Date Society   In this podcast hosts Bri & Dani interview Maiah, a twin mom and creator behind @forloveandfrosting, whose content evolved from baking recipes and cakes into mostly relatable mom-life reels with some health and wellness. She shares her family background of twins (she’s a twin, has twin brothers, and has 10-year-old twin girls plus a 3-year-old son) and discusses challenges unique to twin parenting, especially avoiding comparisons and labels. Maiah describes her kids’ podcast Best Bedtime Short Stories, her fiction writing (including Ways to Say Goodbye), and her small-scale gluten-free/vegan bakery work with local coffee shops, rooted in her own food allergies. She also explains launching her chocolate-dipped stuffed dates brand, Secret Date Society, where to buy them, and the importance of creative outlets, community, confidence, and “finding” vs. “following” breadcrumbs. 00:00 Meet For Love Frosting 01:39 From Baking to Mom Reels 02:34 Twin Mom Life 04:55 Twin Identity Matters 07:06 Twin Mom Friendship Story 09:58 Bedtime Stories Podcast 14:30 Writing Books and Flow 18:22 Coffee Shop Nostalgia 24:07 Gluten Free Baking Origins 28:39 Secret Date Society 30:24 Feel Good Workbook Ad 32:07 Parallels and Antiques 32:47 Old Phones Nostalgia 33:45 Kids and Landlines 34:49 Where to Buy Secret Date 35:28 Marketing and Creative Confidence 39:01 Twin Separation Story 41:42 Navy SEAL Dad Lessons 44:19 Crime and Second Chances 46:25 Wild Break In Stories 50:58 Breadcrumbs Debate Gratitude 54:57 Bloopers and Real Estate Creeps 58:16 Open House Scare Wrap Up   Thank you to our podcast sponsor Dr. Kel who offers an amazing course, Are You in Alignment with Your Dreams?
