On this episode of Sips & Secrets, we talk about how working in catering became the unexpected stepping stone that shaped my entire future.
Those long shifts, last-minute changes, high-pressure events, and “make it happen” moments didn’t just teach hustle — they taught patience, compassion, leadership, and how to handle people in every situation.
We get into:
🍕 how catering prepared us for real life (and the hospital hustle)
💼 learning to grind from our parents
🙄 dealing with those customers — and later, those patients
❤️ choosing compassion because you never know what someone is going through
😳 wild “patient horror stories” and what they taught us
🔥 why passion matters if you want to do anything well
If you’ve ever thought your job was “just a job,” this episode might change the way you look at it. Sometimes the messy, exhausting seasons are actually preparing us for something bigger.
Grab a drink, sit back, and let’s talk.
