Carine Merheb
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.
