About this episode

This week's Muse is Andrea Kazan, founder of clean baking mix brand Good Mess.


In this episode, Andrea opens up about her health journey, and how almost 5 years ago, her life turned upside down when she fell seriously ill and had to rethink everything she ate, which led her to create a baking mix free from refined sugars and processed ingredients.


We dive into her story - how she turned a challenge into a business, the truth about food labels and ingredients in store-bought mixes, and the early struggles of launching a food brand as an outsider to the industry.
