Being a human is hard and we all need as many tools in our coping toolbox as possible. We chat with baker, author, and activist, Becca Rea-Tucker (aka @thesweetfeminist), about how baking has become one of her most powerful coping and processing mechanisms — and how she thinks it can become one for you and maybe even your kids too.

If you’re interested in either getting TWO full-length bonus episodes every month and/or having access to our recipe archive (we add a new recipe every week and are about to launch meal plans!), you’ll want to look at our supporting membership options, all of which come with access to the free community board.

If you listen on Apple Podcasts, want our bonus episodes, and are not interested in joining via another community platform, you can subscribe to our bonus episodes directly on Apple Podcasts.
