Suzy Gazzellone: Sweet Leap of Faith - Banker Turned Baker
What happens when you walk away from a “safe” corporate job with no backup plan… just a gut feeling and a KitchenAid mixer?
In this heartwarming and inspiring episode, host Michelle Daides sits down with Suzy Gazzellone—a former banker turned baker whose leap of faith led to a wildly successful cake business, a beautiful family, a debut cookbook (Secrets From a Baker), and over 20 TV appearances (yes, she pitched herself!).
Suzy shares her deeply personal story—from facing fertility struggles and career blocks, to discovering the healing power of baking and building a life filled with sweetness, creativity, and purpose.
We talk about:
-Why baking became her therapy
-Her journey to writing a cookbook
-The courage to pivot careers (even when it makes zero sense on paper)
Suzy’s story is proof that sometimes life’s biggest challenges become the ingredients for your greatest transformation.
