Update - Mexican Baking Retreat & Life

Hi guys, how are you? I haven't done a personal video vlog message in such a long time so I wanted to update you on what's been going on. It's just been really really busy over the last couple of weeks, actually very intense. A lot of projects started to happen at the same time and I've hired two new people into my team and you know I kind of underestimated how much time it's going to take me to train them to explain everything to them and of course on top of everything else that was happening it became so overwhelming very very quickly and I became very very stressed again I haven't been stressed in a while so this was like me feeling how it used to feel when I was working like you know 16 hour days back in London and I did not enjoy that feeling um so yeah it's just been super busy and i want to get back to sending you those kind of cute little video messages to update you on what's happening and connect with you again so we'll be resuming that and um i'll be sending you a free recipe every week together with some baking tips and cooking tips and just updating you on what's happening you know every day every week not every day every week or every month um because i know you really like these and so i want you to tell me what exactly do you want me to focus on maybe any specific topics or things and areas or you just want me to share what's happening one of the big things that's happening of course in two weeks is my first ever baking therapeutical retreat now this idea came to me when i was in a mastermind group as you know i invest a lot into different teachings and classes and masterminds and courses and everybody there you know was super successful very very incredible person and they almost encouraged me to do something bigger than what i've already done as you know i've been doing my cake courses for a while now and we have the membership and i decided to get myself out of the comfort zone as i usually do and create this amazing a retreat in mexico where you know we're going to be spending six days um you know learning how to cook how to bake um have fun have adventures relax and basically it's it's really aimed to disconnect you from the world and really unplug from you know all the news and social media and really get into working with your hands relaxing your mind you know getting rid of that anxiety and stress you might be feeling and to really just kind of detach from everything and set an intention and goal of what you want to achieve and I planned this incredible trip it's my first ever retreat so it's been very very overwhelming and stressful and I want to share with you because it is kind of behind the scenes and sometimes you know everything looks so easy online and that perception that we get but you know it required a lot more work and bookings and and everything that i had to plan for it and manage so many people now for the retreat because there's all these different specialists that are coming to make this retreat even more special like the salsa dancing the art class um the sound healing the meditations all these kind of things that i planned really to make this the best retreat ever i'm very happy to say that we have uh 80% sold out so it's going to be a very intimate private retreat and i'm very very excited and nervous at the same time because i want to make it the best and i dedicated myself and a lot of you know my team is coming everyone's helping out even my sister is coming to come and help to make sure that this is like the best time ever so i'm very excited we've got a lot of people from different countries coming um like i said it's a small retreat so it's not my first one a lot of you um talk to me and ask me if i'm going to do this again i have no idea because you know this was stressful enough and we'll see how this goes and if this goes really well of course we potentially might do another one next year so yeah and and then of course we've been preparing for the you know sponge cake webinar i hosted the webinar last saturday i know some of you came and supported me which was amazing i'm moving into my new place here in mexico next month um you know so much is going on it is a little bit overwhelming and of course they're launching my sponge cake course and in may we're starting a brand new course so it just feels like there is just so many aspects of my job right now that i need to manage and and and you know juggle and yeah i kind of did spiral a little bit and got out of control you know and became a bit flustered and stressed which is normal so I'm slowly trying to kind of get back and remember like why am I doing this you know what's the main purpose and what's the goal and how much I do enjoy doing all these things and how much I do help people but sometimes I do feel like you know really fed up I suppose and things always go wrong even though it always looks smooth and nice um behind the scenes and but yeah i just wanted to be honest and share with you as you know i'm always really open and honest about everything that's going on um so today i'm basically just finishing last minute things and i'm gonna plan the master class hands-on class that we're gonna do at the retreat it's basically gonna be a whole day and a half maybe even a bit more and a photo shoot after that you know that's funny there's just so many things to organize but it's pretty much done 90 percent now it's just the fun part exactly what we're going to be baking and then of course a lot of eating and eating delicious food at the retreat and cakes and this is probably my last week when i will be having calls with people so if you're still considering to come or you're curious or you're interested then i do recommend um you schedule a call with me it's just a quick five ten minute call to see if you're suitable for the retreat because we really have an amazing group and i want to make sure it's the right vibe and energy so i do qualify everybody who's potentially wanting to come and um yeah if you want to still have a chat with me you can we literally are 80% sold out so there's only two rooms available and um reply to this email let me know and we'll schedule a call and I'll leave all the details about the retreat as well just down below here either way I'm very excited to come back to recording these amazing messages for you and really just giving you as much value as I possibly can so I'll be reintroducing back my free recipes especially if you're on my email list and giving you some tips and advice on cooking and hopefully make your life a bit easier and sweeter okay what we want to do is make your life as sweet as possible because there's so much you know other things that going on and it's important to focus on things that bring you pleasure things that bring you happiness and for me that's obviously baking and cooking um for me it's helping people and delivering you know my teachings delivering my messages and i do focus a lot on mindset as well because it's important to me it's the only thing that helped me to get through everything in my life um or another thing forget to mention i'm also writing a book right
