Oooo, have some business questions for me?

I’m frequently contacted by folks interested in learning more about how I started my shop, Cake Plus-Size Resale, or asking for advice on starting their own small business.

I’ve had the opportunity to talk about my business on several podcasts and have also been featured in some articles. So, I’ve put together a list of resources (below!) that will give you a peek into what I do and how Cake was made.

If you’d like to work with me directly, you’re welcome to book an hour of my time to chat business. For a limited time, I’m available to work with folks 1-on-1 as a business resource. With 8+ years of experience in plus-size resale running a values-driven business rooted in fat liberation, I’m a wealth of information!

I’m also getting back to my dream of establishing a monthly business chat subscription where I answer the group’s questions monthly via audio. Click here for more info and to join the list in hopes that we’ll get enough folks to go for it!
