E31 - Cielo Cakery - How a single mother embarked on a rollercoaster ride and built TWO bakeries with a cult following in her hometown!

November 06, 2023 • OLBAA • Season 4 • Episode 5

Jodie Heaven - which in Spanish is “Cielo” - is the founder of this cute little Brighton bakery called Cielo. A single mother who realised very early on that after the birth of her daughter, she wanted to make sure should create the best life for her.

Jodie herself wanted to be a pop singer when she was a child, but that didn’t quite work out. Thankfully baking did! From making the cupcakes for her baby shower, to building a business out of that, it quickly become a shop, and then a second one. But not without numerous hurdles and challenges which you will hear about.

Jodie isn’t phased by it. She just has that attitude to just get out there and get it sorted. What an inspiring small business owner! She never gave up and continued to build something special for her community in Brighton. You really need to listen to this one. Enjoy.
