Come hear the first of all of them now....We're not just a small company anymore and you get to come along for the ride.

Hi guys, Been a bit! Always wonder why I do podcast, doe anyone listen, what the heck to talk about...so I fell off the wagon because it seemed a bit pointless until I realized...LOTS stay in touch and tune with my life sooooo here's a big picture update with TONS of tea to spill in the next upcoming episodes. I will be spending the next three episodes on dating a narcissistic man and the red flags I missed, what it was like and how I made it out so fast....Enjoy!

Do you keep things chill when you are going on a first date, when you went on a date!? Well, at 35 as a very busy entrepreneur woman, I have to make sure I have my SH*T together on what I need from someone. I have to get to the point where I am at in life QUICK.

Happy International Women's Day!!!! Not only did I want to skip today but I sure did not want to feel less than! Ever have those moments or days where you just feel less than!? Ever wonder what it takes to run a business!? This is a podcast great to hear the answer to a few of these questions, give you some inspiration and hear the two things that you need to run a business. I hope you'll join me as I answer some of these questions and head back and listen to our other podcast on how we ended up here!

Let us address the elephant in the room. Nutritional's! Everyone wants to know and TRUST ME, THEY ASK! How do you have toppings in some whipped doughs but the macro nutritional's stay the same!? Well, I guess you have to listen to this podcast! Hope you love it, hope it helps and if you want to know anything more I am Rose, owner CEO on social media @rosebhankins, love to chat with you!

This episode is a spill the tea on myself and inside a business creating an email tired, what is going on with whipped dough now and some new flavors coming up! I decided to write an email ALL to late and not only screwed myself but confused my customers so much I thought no one would buy.... WELL.....

Calm yourself as Twisted Dough will not really shut down, but owner Rose wants to share her deeper thoughts when going through a day to day in her thoughts. Sometimes owning a business truly makes you want to ask yourself, what else? When I am dying will I say to myself, I did enough? I enjoyed everything I wanted to and most of all my deepest wants in life I did!? Well tonight, we find out! Thanks for always supporting as I cannot tell you how truly blessed I am to be a small-town normal girl who makes a protein dessert that ships around the world! MIND BLOWING!

Well, looks like we got a theme here! It is always our shit show or the businesses. WHO KNOWS?! Welcome to being a boss where we share REAL, RAW SUPER SERIOUS EMOTIONS of things going on in a small business. Finally you have our back history over the last two episodes of our shit show and NOW we dive into the REAL stuff of Twisted Dough. What is going on with it? Why does whipped dough keep going on and off the market? Courtney and I get deep tonight into the 100% truth about the shit show of whipped dough. It almost seems like a joke but for us it is real life. You know Courtney and I run our full on social media, right? We have battled going from letting someone do all our posting, to not only running a business, but deciding to tell the world our business. TOUGH LIFE and we want to tell you what it is like being a business influencer along with what is really happening inside Twisted Dough..

Well well well Courtney and I became connected through social media that led to meeting at Twisted Foods, the entire business crumbled in my hands and Courtney left me! We had such hate in our heart for each other and our entire friendship shattered, as bad as you can imagine- that's how to describe it. You know those relationships you end up never speaking? You would never go out of your way to make it right? Yes, that's where I was and the way back WAS HARD! But WE DID IT! You want to know how true friendship is? What it's like hate someone but want to be their best friend? Want to know what it's like owning a small business and the terrors in it!? HERE WE GO! You don't want to miss out on this story, this journey, this adventure, these raw conversations, and this LIFE we call Twisted--- with a little dough! :)

Well well well, we are glad to have you here today! If you are just tuning in be sure to catch up on our past history from embezzlement to now. Now we are Twisted Dough, YOUR DOUGH LADIES where we have grown from a million-dollar business with everything taken away, destroying a friendship back to running a business together. Its a full blown SHIT SHOW and its great to hear! We hope you'll join our history of friendship and we got back in business together. We are thankful you'll hear our story as its real, its raw and its memorable!

Yup, its RAW and its REAL and its a great listen if you want to hear about business. Running a business is so much harder than most imagine unless your magically gifted in sales or strike a deal really early but the REAL about business lately is that inflation has put a damper on small business and increasing of prices and ads are starting to get ridiculous. Do we evolve? How? Catch some inside scoops on this episode!

Every day we face pressure of work, family or maybe pressure of yourself. Anyone else feel the pressure and just want to give up? Anyone else just not want to feel alone? Anyone else feel like their stress seems it should be silly? Going to leave it short and sweet on this description because the podcast will speak for itself! 100% Talk on a little serious of life.

Ever want to know what the comments are from the other side? Ever feel attacked by a comment or maybe you're the person who comments from afar!? Well both sides have feelings about this and it's time to hear from the one who receives them how it feels but also discuss why NOT making them is important in today's society.

This podcast is a space and a place I can be me. I don't have to be Rose the Dough lady, or Rose the boss or Rose the friend, I can just be me. Everyone no matter what title they carry should be able to be themselves and unfortunately, in the world we live in that is not that case. What I have gone through in life most days brings me to my knees in how I am in situations, wanting to settle down and most importantly with the love of my life, Twisted Dough. I hate living in fear, sadness and pain but it also is so humbling. It is pinch worthy that I know I am alive for sure. If you need a place to just hear raw emotional thoughts and feelings, I invite you into this podcast where I am overwhelmingly taken by both and just want to make it in this world. We live truly all stressed out, money tight and barely afloat because some other something is happening in life. When is enough enough? When will the fear and anxiety go away? Will I truly experience full happiness in life at the age of 34?

Don't we all know we wake up daily and say something negative to ourselves? We start in chaos, get upset or even just negative about having to go into work for the day!? Yes, we are RIGHT there with you too, but the difference is we are teaching ourselves positivity and putting it into our daily practice together by having MANY conversations and tabling the ones which cause us stress and chaos. Hear out the MRS. and see what all the negative talk is about and how to simply place positivity into your life in simple steps as these...

Ever felt so alone!? Did someone make you feel unworthy? UNBEAUTIFUL? That is ok, you're not alone! This episode is a tearjerker and hard to post but we know that these raw feelings either it will help someone, or it just will be noise. Every episode is made to help just 1 individual to see their NOT ALONE, their worthy, worth it, and deserve the best! If you have ever just felt less than remember, we all go through tough times and emotions and produce the same feelings. The real question is.... will we share and be vulnerable. From the best Brene Brown, this is why we share for you. Only when we are brave enough to explore the darkness will we discover the infinite power of our light. “Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage. Truth and courage aren't always comfortable, but they're never weakness.”

This is episode is a grueling one! Be sure you are ready for a serious conversation about feelings and what feelings arise after being assaulted and how it carries throughout your life! What Mariah and Rose went through growing up was different but yet the same. They experience the same emotional feelings of depression, hurt, feeling unsafe and shame but deal in different ways to heal. This is just your dough ladies chatting about how trauma hurt, how trauma is in our adult lives to this day and most of how what therapy is to each of us and how we healed. We hope this podcast relates to you teaching you its ok to not be ok and how to heal from it no matter what "therapy" you choose. We hope that it shows you emotions and feelings are real and how to arise from tough situations. Never feel alone or pointless in this world because sometimes living minute by minute is ok! What is therapy to you!? What is healing to you!? We would love to hear from you on @twistedcookiedough and be there for you!

WOW! It's therapy time for you, for me and for anyone you decide to share these thoughts and feelings. This week's episode is touching the surface level of me, my relationships, my wants and my desires but next week we dive really into the subject line of this podcast. Read it and your mind goes to negative things but negative things are happening daily to people. They transform us and how emotionally we are as an adult. I've realized therapy is incredibly therapeutic and there are things that you and I might consider therapy. This episode is about how your relationships go, what you expect of them and just a different perspective of maybe looking at what you need or therapy you need. I challenge you to dive into this therapy session with me and stay tuned for a second week of intense feelings and emotions.

I have to admit what I really did; I hope you will tune in on this unique episode and make sure we are connected via my instagram @rosebhankins.

Wanna know more about an embezzling CFO and what a business partner can do? Can cause? What should you look for being an entrepreneur? This is the episode for you. Wine/D down with two entrepreneurs who spill the tea on this subject. Love to hear more of what you would like to hear from business side or personal side on @rosebhankins.

Have anyone else ever been imprisoned by a trauma they went through in life? A feeling that acts as a criminal in your life holding you back? Well tonight we are talking about how and what criminals can look like, how they can make you feel and so much more. Dive in with me and wine/d down in an emotional episode this week. Sometimes as an entrepreneur --I'm just emotional and that's ok--learning to embrace it and share it so we can all grow together!

We are all in situations in life that produce emotions that we all feel. Feelings of anxiety, fear and uncomfortableness. Those emotions stem from change we might need to make in our lives to adapt and evolve but ones we do not want to make. This episode goes over changing what was uncomfortable to finding confidence in us to be comfortable. Jessica Young and I go through a lot of social media experiences and would like to share what it's like in social media and uncomfortable moments to grow. We hope you enjoy Wining and Wine/D down with us!

Welcome to Twisted Talk Season 2. Twisted Talk was developed to share feelings and tell the story of embezzlement. The podcast has turned into encouraging moments, deep dark secrets or may just hearing feelings that you relate with. Either way we are both feeling the same feelings going through different life experiences. Wine/D down with me weekly and connect how you might feel inside, hear other regular people's points of views and most of all what the 100% Twisted Talk is all about. Let's get real with one another and TALK ABOUT IT!

We all are given a "social experience" whether we are the ones providing it or living it. My take on social experience is to be a motivation, encouragement or reminder that if it's not your lively hood, it does provide someone's feedback and emotions to their next social experience, episode in life or simply how they feel in their life. The social experience is something that takes up almost 75% of our days and I want to make sure my 75% is provided with a great experience. Let's give a better social experience so we can all live in a better social world. Happy Saturday friends!

We are going to be exploring the word LOST and it can mean so many things as deep or as simple as we want it to be. I am going to be doing some quick nightly 5-minute talks exploring the darker feelings that live inside of us on a daily basis that maybe we don't have the opportunity to share with friends or family. I prefer a lot of alone time as an entrepreneur even though most of my day is alone in dreaming up the business and most of the time it leaves me feeling a bit lost. Lost, wondering am I missing life? Lost, wondering will I feel differently if I make it to another step-in life. Lost, I live in so much silence it haunts me but talking on this podcast gave me such an emotional relief of not feeling that lost feeling. If 1 or 121 listen, this next year 2022 podcast is going to be from LOST to BECOMING and together we will find out what that is/means for us. I hope you tune it and tag along as we will meet some cool athletes and figure out our deeper thoughts and communicate them together! I am @rosebhankins on Instagram and would love to meet you!

From Rose: owner/CEO @twistedcookiedough The I want more, its not enough....Its a daily mind game within yourself and we all want more and more. I have to stop myself on thinking wanting more and why I am not enjoying just what I am am given now. May be cheesy but life will change DRAMTICALLY on you tomorrow and we all must adapt but what if we just enjoyed each day and each moment instead of dreaming we just had more? Are we living in dreams or reality of what the world has given us and living in that want more moment? I push and push for more but am I pushing for something that the world will never give me or am I working on and appreciative of what I have? Work through these thoughts with me as this trauma I have endured keeps me in my head daily and sometimes we all just need to know we are sharing the same thoughts and moments of negative and positive, TOGETHER!

;R.O.S.E It is the symbol for trauma, that your story is not over. It means rise, overcome, survive and evolve. It is up to you to make a new story for yourself but the battle of pushing through is so tough and we all think others make it on the other side when the real story is that we struggle every minute of every single day. Know that when you look at yourself and you see weakness, you also see you and that is something to love and grow in the moments your heart allows.
