Haley Herridge: How to keep going when your dream takes longer than you expected

Episode Overview:

Have you ever had a dream that seemed like it would never happen?

Haley always dreamed of being on a cooking show and applied to shows for over 6 years, but kept getting rejections. Instead of letting that stop her she turned it into a learning opportunity and eventually landed on a cooking competition on Netflix! On this week's episode she shares her early childhood cooking memories, her career journey, and the process to finally getting on a cooking show in part 1 of a 2 part series.

In 2 weeks she'll be back to talk about her experience on the show, building her personal brand, and what she's currently up to with her content! This episode will inspire you to keep going even if your dream seems far away and to re-frame a NO as an opportunity to learn and grow.

Food and Lifestyle Content Creator + “Kitchen Happy” Meal Plan Creator

I’m Haley, the recipe girl behind the “Kitchen Happy” meal plan and home chef, from Netflix’s Easy Bake Battle. I live in Arkansas with my amazing husband, Jake, my daughter Piper, and twin sons, Knox and Jett. I am so thankful to stay home to raise my sweet babies everyday and create recipe and lifestyle content for you in my little corner of the internet. It is a dream come true.

Cooking has always been a true love of mine. Ever since I could stand, I was on a bench beside my mom and grandmothers in the kitchen, and then the passion continued as I grew older. The little girl who always dreamed of cooking on TV made it happen in October of 2021. I had the opportunity to compete, and then win on Netflix’s Easy Bake Battle. A home cook competition, doing it all while 20 weeks pregant with my identical twin boys! I hope every recipe, tip, and glimpse of our life that I share will bring joy and value to your life. Thank you for being here!
