S1 Episode 8 - From Politics To Pastry - With Special Guest - Amy DuVall
Join us on our latest podcast to learn about Amy’s journey from Politics to Pastry.
I have been so fortunate to know Amy since high school, and have watched her professional journey as a successful environmental lawyer & lobbyist.
When she made the exciting announcement on Facebook, that she was leaving her political career and starting her own business, I have been curious how & why she made the leap from politics to pastry.
Listen to our latest episode to see who & what inspired Amy to leave her political career.
It is a story & journey you don’t want to miss!
from politics to pastry was created by Amy DuVall, an environmental lawyer & lobbyist. Amy had a dream of helping to enact major federal environmental legislation and was lucky enough to be given that chance. When the Lautenberg Chemical Safety Act passed in June 2016, she found herself in an unexpected place—immensely happy and proud but professionally lost and ready for the next chapter. After more than a year of soul-searching, Amy decided to focus on her creative side and try to turn her hobby of cooking and baking into her profession. In February 2018, she announced her departure from the lobbying world, and in March 2018 she began her journey to bake more. She didn't have an ultimate destination in mind except to put smiles on people's faces one cookie, one scone, one treat at a time.

S1 Episode 10 - The Four Tendencies
How do you respond to expectations?
Are you an Upholder, Questioner, Obliger, or Rebel?
Gretchen Rubin, author of The Four Tendencies and The Happiness Project, discovered that people fit into one of The Four Tendencies.
The Four Tendencies explain why we act and why we don’t act.
- Upholders - respond readily to both outer expectations and inner expectations. They don’t need deadlines or supervision; they keep themselves on track.
- Questioners - question all expectations, and will meet an expectation only if it’s justified, so that it becomes an inner expectation. Questioners want to know why a task should be done this way—and whether it should be done at all.
- Obligers - respond readily to outer expectations but struggle to meet inner expectations. They need deadlines, late fees, supervision, and accountability partners.
- Rebels - resist all expectations, outer and inner alike. They want to do a task their own way.
Are you curious which Tendency you might be?

Join us on our latest podcast as we talk about Gretchen’s book & find out which Tendency Kirsten & Paula are!
