sourdough and building a brand

how making sourdough is just like creating a brand

step one: feed the culture

a good sourdough starts with a starter—a wild, living culture that requires daily attention. just like building a brand, it takes consistency, care, and patience.

it doesn’t start with a logo. it starts with intention.

whether you’re baking bread or building something bigger, what you feed is what grows.

✨ pro tip: rituals help. a hit of pineapple fizz offers clarity and warmth for those early idea stages.

step two: let it rest

the biggest mistake with sourdough? overworking the dough.

same with your business, wellness practice, or creative vision—rest is part of the rise.

stillness is where softness forms.

your glow isn’t built from constant motion. it’s built from intentional pauses.

✨ pro tip: glow doesn’t rush.

step three: trust the rise

fermentation takes time—and trust. you can’t force a rise.

same goes for building authentic brand culture, or developing a ritual that sticks. it happens in the quiet, unseen hours.

you might not see the shift immediately—but when it comes, it’s everything.

transformation happens slowly, then all at once.

✨pro tip: let the work work.

step four: apply heat

this is where vision becomes real.

in bread, it’s the oven. in branding, it’s the launch, the pitch, the moment when your identity meets the world.

it’s hot. it’s intense. it’s when your soft, slow process becomes something golden and undeniable.

✨pro tip: you’re ready. let it glow with a puff of cherry charmer.

whether you’re baking sourdough, building a wellness brand in nyc, or crafting a life around intention and ritual, the principles are the same:

start slow. trust the process. move with care. glow with purpose.

and… keep a hai. vape nearby.
