Podcasts about Sourdough

Sourdough isn't just trendy — its simple ingredients and slow fermentation make it different from conventional bread. Here's why I choose it.  All the links, tools & resources I personally share:https://linktr.ee/cfreecancerfree

This week, the Fishes cover everything from a harrowing flight home from Dallas Mom's Weekend to the shifting world of Girl Scout cookies and the debate over Crime 101. But the real question is: who's running the kitchen?When a son takes a trash bag to the pantry in the name of “health,” it sparks a bigger conversation about the invisible, thankless job of feeding a family—from when they're in diapers til they're handed a diploma. Protein, fiber, evolving metabolisms, and the emotional labor of stocking the shelves… it's all on the table.Plus, Nancy finally goes all-in on sourdough—six years after the COVID craze—and shares what's for dinner.Recipes and links at threelilfishes.com/shownotes

In this episode, I'm inviting you to step out of the kitchen and into the boardroom with me. If you're selling bread to real people and taking real money in exchange for it—even if it's just a handful of loaves a week—you're running a business. And that shift in mindset changes everything. We're kicking off a three-part series all about putting on your CEO hat and learning how to lead your sourdough micro bakery with intention instead of emotion. Because when we rely on how a single week feels, we end up reacting instead of leading—and that's where burnout and confusion start to creep in.Today, I'm sharing why paying attention to a few key numbers (don't worry, nothing overwhelming) can completely change the way you see your business. We're talking about the difference between instinct and informed decision-making, how to spot patterns instead of panic, and why sustainable growth doesn't happen by accident. I'll also walk you through a few powerful questions to help you lay the foundation before we dive into the “what” and “how” of KPIs in the next episodes. If you've ever felt like your revenue is unpredictable, your menu feels chaotic, or your business feels more reactive than steady, this conversation will help you step into leadership with clarity and confidence.Resources:Get the Bread Winner Business Alignment Journal: https://carolinebower.com/journalGrab the Profit & Pricing Calculator: Simplify the math, clarify your margins, and confidently price your products. https://carolinebower.com/calculator Follow me on Instagram for more microbakery tips: @carolinebower_sourdoughFind links to all of my sourdough microbakery favorites including packaging, pans, and more! www.carolinebower.com/linksDownload the FREE Guide and Checklist, Your First Steps to a Successful In-Home Bakery at https://www.carolinebower.com/checklist to begin building YOUR thriving microbakery!

Ganel-Lyn Condie is a popular speaker, author, and mental health advocate. With insight shaped by faith, lived experience, and cultural awareness, she brings both compassion and clarity to the question many leaders and members are asking: How do we help people feel seen, known, and loved—especially those on the margins? In this episode, Ganel-Lyn discusses her new book, Sourdough and the Savior, which explores the parallels between the process of making sourdough bread and the teachings of Jesus Christ. The conversation emphasizes the importance of ministering, community building, and personal growth through shared experiences. Links Sourdough and the Savior Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Key Insights Sourdough as a Metaphor: Ganel-Lyn uses sourdough baking as a metaphor for understanding the characteristics of the Savior, illustrating how personal struggles can lead to spiritual growth. Ministering through Connection: The act of sharing sourdough has become a means of ministering to others, fostering connections, and creating opportunities for healing and conversation. Building Community: Ganel-Lyn emphasizes the need for community in the church, particularly for those who may feel isolated. She shares her experience of hosting informal gatherings to create a space for connection without the pressure of formal church events. Vulnerability in Leadership: By sharing her own feelings of loneliness and identity struggles, Ganel-Lyn encourages leaders to be open and vulnerable, which can help others feel seen and understood. Diversity in Gifts: The discussion highlights that everyone has unique gifts to share, and these contributions, no matter how small, can significantly impact the community and help build Zion. Leadership Applications Encouraging Informal Gatherings: Leaders can create opportunities for members to connect outside of formal church settings, fostering a sense of belonging and community. Modeling Vulnerability: By being open about their own challenges, leaders can create an environment where others feel safe to share their struggles, leading to deeper connections and support. Recognizing Individual Contributions: Leaders should encourage members to share their unique talents and experiences, reinforcing the idea that every contribution is valuable in building a strong, diverse community.

The Craps Boys are Back, Plus Joe's First Sourdough Reveal!

From social worker to sourdough entrepreneur—Elaine Dubbe turned a friend's encouragement and a 106-year-old sourdough starter into Hello Simple; a business teaching hands-on sourdough classes across Minnesota. Elaine moved to Cologne, Minnesota in December 2023 and started by simply posting in the local Facebook group asking if anyone wanted to learn sourdough. Twenty-five people said yes. Now she's teaching sold-out classes at wineries, breweries, and venues from the Arboretum to Sapsucker Farms in Mora.In this episode, we talk about the realities of building a business while raising two young daughters, how western Carver County has been "wildly supportive" of small business owners, and why keeping things simple is at the heart of everything she does.WHAT WE COVERThe winding path from Upper Peninsula Michigan through Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Nebraska, and finally to Cologne, Minnesota. How her sourdough starter has been passed down for 106 years and why that matters for beginners. What you actually need to start a food-based business in Minnesota, including the cottage food producer license, forming an LLC, and getting insurance coverage. The trial-and-error of pricing creative services when there's no established market. Building community connections as a newcomer through Oakwood Community Church, local schools, and Logan Pass coffee house. Why she's chosen Facebook and Instagram over TikTok and YouTube to stay focused on real human connection. Structuring a business around young kids and leaning on your village of support. What happens at a Sourdough 101 class and what participants take home. Her dream of a brick-and-mortar location with a teaching kitchen and boutique.Elaine's advice for anyone thinking about turning a hobby into a business: start small, take the chance, and follow where the business wants to go rather than forcing it in a direction.ABOUT COLOGNE, MINNESOTACologne is part of western Carver County along the Highway 212 corridor, about 35 miles southwest of Minneapolis. Elaine describes it as a mix of old and new—the original Cologne, established neighborhoods south of 212, and newer developments to the north where young families are putting down roots. It's a small town with a strong sense of community that's proven to be welcoming to newcomers and supportive of local entrepreneurs.ABOUT THIS PODCASTLiving IN Carver County is hosted by Greg Anderson, a Carver County real estate professional with RE/MAX Advisors West who has sold over 3,000 homes since 1985.

Key Topics & EntitiesAmy CoyneSourdough starterNatural fermentationWild yeast and bacteriaHydration levels in breadDutch oven bakingSourdough discardInclusion loavesFamily-friendly sourdoughThe Beginner's Guide to SourdoughAmy Bakes BreadHome baking scienceKey Questions AnsweredWhat makes sourdough different from conventional bread?Sourdough relies on natural fermentation rather than commercial yeast, resulting in improved digestibility, lower glycemic response, and better nutrient absorption due to reduced phytic acid.How do you create and maintain a sourdough starter?A starter is made by culturing wild yeast and bacteria from flour and water through regular feedings, watching for predictable rise-and-fall cycles, and adjusting temperature and ratios for consistency.How does temperature affect sourdough fermentation?Warmer temperatures speed fermentation while cooler conditions slow it down, meaning timelines must shift with seasons and kitchen conditions.What is hydration, and why does it matter?Hydration refers to the ratio of water to flour; higher hydration creates a more open, airy crumb, while lower hydration produces a tighter, more structured loaf.What are the most common mistakes new sourdough bakers make?Unrealistic expectations, discomfort with wet doughs, and misunderstanding fermentation timing are common early hurdles.What can you do with sourdough discard instead of throwing it away?Discard can be used in crackers, pancakes, biscuits, cookies, gravies, and more—adding flavor, texture, and reducing waste.How can sourdough be adapted for busy schedules and families?Using refrigeration, adjusting starter...

In this episode Rabbi Fohrman puts the bitter herbs - maror - under a microscope. Why do we need to hold onto a reminder of our slavery, during a Passover seder that represents freedom? Drawing from a principle of teshuvah - repentance, our hosts carve out an incredible principle in human psychology and what it takes to heal from trauma.Can't Skip the Bitter (to Get to the Sweet)(Verse 1) In Egypt the bread held the taste of our tears Sourdough—you couldn't tell where it stopped The sourness baked into four hundred years Until the whole batch was bitter and lockedBut God didn't hand us the honey that night Didn't say: forget it, here's something new He gave us flat bread with bitter alongside— Separated. Still there. Still true.(Chorus) You can't skip the bitter to get to the sweet You can't leave the sorrow behind The only way forward is going back through it One morning at a time(Verse 2) The manna came later, the honey came slow Forty years of daily bread Each day God was asking: do you believe now that you're more than the tears that you've shed?And every spring we sit down at the table Flat bread and bitter, side by side Not because we're still slaves—because we remember What it took to come back alive(Chorus) You can't skip the bitter to get to the sweet You can't leave the sorrow behind The only way forward is going back through itOne morning at a time(Bridge) Each day the same question fallingLike bread upon the ground:Are you more than what was done to you?Are you more than what you've done?(Verse 3) Two families broken, made into one He said: leave the past where it liesBuild something new now, the future's begun But nobody asked who we were before the goodbyesAnd forty years later I knocked on her door I said there's something I never did right I never once asked you to tell me the story Of who held your hand through the long, long night(Chorus) Tell me about your mother What was it like when she was yours? Tell me about your mother I should have asked you this beforeYou can't skip the bitter to get to the sweet You can't leave the sorrow behind The only way forward is going back through it And that's what I'm doing this timeYou can also listen to this song on Youtube and Spotify.We love to hear from you!

In this episode, I'm continuing our January series by walking through how I've completely rethought my menu planning for the year ahead. If you've ever felt mentally exhausted just thinking about your menu, or found yourself re-deciding the same things week after week, this conversation will feel like a deep exhale. I'm sharing why more options don't automatically mean more sales, how simplifying my menu has actually reduced stress and improved consistency, and why predictability has become one of the most powerful tools in my business.I break down the exact framework I'm using now — a hybrid menu model built around core products, rotating items, and predictable specials — and why this structure has helped me protect my energy, communicate more clearly with customers, and stop reinventing the wheel every month. This episode is especially for bakers who love what they do but feel stretched thin trying to offer everything to everyone. If you're craving a cleaner, calmer, more sustainable way to run your bakery without sacrificing value or sales, this one will give you a lot to think about.Resources:Join the Bread Winner Inner Circle: CarolineBower.com/innercircleJoin The Bread Winner Network: https://carolinebower.thrivecart.com/bread-winner-network/ – Monthly membership for sourdough bakers.Grab the Profit & Pricing Calculator: Simplify the math, clarify your margins, and confidently price your products. http://carolinebower.com/calculator Follow me on Instagram for more microbakery tips: @carolinebower_sourdoughFind links to all of my sourdough microbakery favorites including packaging, pans, and more! www.carolinebower.com/linksDownload the FREE Guide and Checklist, Your First Steps to a Successful In-Home Bakery at https://www.carolinebower.com/checklist to begin building YOUR thriving microbakery!

Most "detox" advice focuses on cleanses and quick fixes — but real detoxification is a constant, biological process your body runs every day. In this solo episode, the host breaks down how detoxification actually works, starting with what counts as a "toxin" (including hormones and environmental chemicals) and how the body packages them for elimination. You'll learn the key roles of the liver, kidneys, and gut — and why detox can succeed in the liver but fail in the intestines, especially when certain gut bacteria produce enzymes like β-glucuronidase that can send toxins back into circulation. The episode covers major detox pathways (including glucuronidation), the importance of bile flow and regular bowel movements, and why fiber is one of the biggest levers you can pull to support elimination. It also explores how hydration, electrolyte balance, stress, and overtraining can influence detox capacity, plus the limited-but-real role sweating may play in clearing certain heavy metals.

What if the fastest route to meaningful growth isn't about launching another ad campaign, hiring more salespeople, or optimizing your funnel? What if the real accelerator is simply listening—really listening—to what's already happening around you? In this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Oscar Barrera, PhD—a brilliant corporate anthropologist and innovation strategist based in Mexico. Oscar and I share a core conviction: anthropology isn't just something you do; it's a way of seeing the world. It allows leaders to notice subtle patterns—those taking shape in their markets, inside their own companies, and in the everyday lives of their customers—even when the clues are hiding in plain sight. Oscar's work drives home a powerful point: the real obstacles to growth are often hidden. Not because they're imaginary, but because we haven't been trained to spot them. Meet Dr. Oscar Barrera: An Anthropologist Forging His Own Path Oscar's journey is as unconventional as it is inspiring. He earned his doctorate in social and cultural anthropology at the University of Washington, with years of fieldwork in Guatemala's highlands. But like so many academics, he realized that the expected career path—university teaching—wasn't really available. So Oscar got creative. He returned home to Mexico and started his own consulting practice from the ground up. He learned the language of business by reading voraciously, listening intently, and immersing himself in the entrepreneurial world—joining business groups, building relationships, and cultivating a brand that helped business leaders understand how anthropology could transform what they do. Through his firm, Anthropology Corp Cooperativa, Oscar helps organizations unlock deep understanding about their customers, employees, and markets—then turn those insights into human-centered strategies for growth and innovation. He also hosts a fantastic podcast called Nuevas Posibilidades ("New Possibilities"), which explores innovation, anthropology, and the future of work. A Real-World Case: Sourdough in a Sweet Bread Nation Oscar shared a wonderful story that brings anthropology to life. A bakery owner in Mexico was crafting sourdough bread: wholesome, preservative-free, and free of additives. But he was up against a market where bread is usually sweet, steeped in tradition, and sold cheaply. Here's the twist: the bakery wasn't struggling with demand. Instead, something unexpected was happening—distributors (mostly women) were approaching the bakery on their own, asking if they could resell the bread in their hometowns. The owner's question wasn't theoretical—it was urgent: Who are these women, and how can I grow this kind of distribution model intentionally? As he put it, he wanted "the formula." Why Anthropology Was Essential Oscar's first instinct was to do what anthropologists do best: ethnography. Go to the site, observe, listen, and understand the full context. But travel simply wasn't possible. So he adapted, because good anthropology is all about flexibility. He used remote interviews—speaking with distributors and customers over the phone and online. And what he learned should be a wake-up call for every leader: People will tell you what matters to them—if you listen with the right kind of attention. Oscar was surprised that sometimes meeting online made people more comfortable. It was safe, structured, and time-limited—there was no lingering vulnerability once the conversation ended. Watch our Podcast on YouTube The Discovery: A Purpose-Driven Sales Network The bakery owner assumed his distributors were motivated by money. Oscar found something far richer. These women were selling bread not just for income, but because they: Had personal or family health concerns Wanted to support and uplift their communities Believed deeply in natural, preservative-free foods Had stories that connected them emotionally to the product They weren't just pushing a product—they were sharing a solution and part of their own identities. They were savvy, too, introducing the bread at workplaces, gyms, and local events. Tasting led to trust—and more sales. This was no "features and benefits" transaction. This bread was an experience—one that resonated with values and stories. Five Key Ingredients for Scalable Growth Oscar translated these insights into actionable steps. He identified five elements that would determine whether the bakery's model could truly scale: Shared values and philosophy: The top distributors believed in a mission: boosting health and helping people, not just selling bread. Time and logistics: Without preservatives and in a hot climate, bread spoiled quickly. Delivery schedules and pickups became hidden bottlenecks. Packaging matters: Flimsy boxes led to crushed loaves—hurting both trust and credibility. Social selling support: Distributors used WhatsApp and Facebook, but needed better tools and content. The company needed to provide easily shareable visuals and educational materials. Customer experience and sampling: People didn't buy from a description—they bought after tasting. Real-life sampling was the engine of growth. What I love here is that Oscar didn't need a formal operations report to uncover these constraints. He surfaced them by deeply listening to lived experience—by drawing out stories. Bigger Than Bread: How Meaning Moves Markets One of the most profound insights was symbolic. Sourdough isn't "traditional Mexican bread." Yet, through the personal stories of these women, it became a bridge: a way to enjoy bread as part of daily life, to choose health without abandoning cultural identity, and to stay connected to tradition while eating differently. That's not just good marketing—it's anthropology in action. Lessons for Leaders Everywhere Oscar summed it up beautifully: Success often hides in plain sight, in details we overlook. Anthropology equips leaders and companies to see what's invisible and hear what's unsaid. True innovation doesn't always mean inventing something totally new—it often means listening to what your customers are already telling you. So here's my bottom line: If you're chasing growth, don't just ask, "How do we sell more?" Instead, ask, "What's actually happening in the lives of the people we want to serve that we haven't noticed yet?" When you listen for those answers, real transformation can begin.

So many of the questions we carry as mothers aren't about doing more, but about knowing what actually matters. In this Q&A-style episode, I'm answering a wide range of listener questions on motherhood, homemaking, sourdough, sleep, budgeting, and family culture. We talk through pursuing big dreams later in life, simplifying from-scratch cooking without burnout, navigating intense toddler phases, and why flexibility often serves families better than precision. If you've been craving reassurance, perspective, and practical encouragement for everyday family life, this episode is for you. In this episode, we cover: Why it's never “too late” to pursue land, homesteading, or long-term family dreams and how thinking generationally reframes the pressure to accomplish all your dreams right now A practical starting point for moms learning to cook from scratch without feeling overwhelmed Navigating the intense “only mom will do” phase with toddlers and why not every hard season needs fixing Thoughts on daily vitamins during postpartum and nursing, plus the role of consistency over perfection Babywearing realities, newborn neck chafing, and simple ways to keep sensitive skin comfortable and healing Helping preschoolers learn to fall asleep independently after extended co-sleeping without turning bedtime into a nightly battle A straightforward approach to budgeting and saving later in life by simply making spending visible Why measuring sourdough starter isn't as critical as many think and how I approach baking with a relaxed, flexible mindset Diving into our open-handed approach to having a large family, cultural pressure, and how much planning really belongs in family size conversations Breastfeeding around older children, modesty at home, and why this has become a non-issue over time Setting boundaries with nearby grandparents when frequent visits start shaping daily habits and family culture Using sourdough starter straight from the fridge, reducing waste, and simplifying feeding rhythms Choosing in-person church even when it disrupts naps and why long-term habits matter more than short-term inconvenience View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

What if the secret to connecting with your kids wasn't more time—but better minutes? ✅ The See, Hear, Know framework for becoming a student of your kids ✅ Why over-teaching actually backfires (and what to do instead) ✅ How to plan your family's year WITH them, not just for them SUMMARY: What if the most impactful moments with your kids are just nine minutes a day? In this episode, fatherhood coach Dan Tinquist shares how morning, afternoon, and evening connection points can transform your relationship with your kids. You'll also hear why over-teaching actually backfires, how to build a family culture where your kids feel safe to fail, and the surprising parallels between making sourdough bread and raising kids. TAKEAWAYS: The most important nine minutes of your kid's day are the first three when they wake up, the three when you reconnect after school or work, and the last three before bed. If every moment is a teachable moment, you will teach them nothing. Sometimes the best thing you can do is pray instead of lecture. We don't rest from our work—we work from our rest. Contentment today fuels driven action tomorrow. Building a family culture where kids feel safe to fail means they'll run to you when they mess up, not from you. Planning your year with your family—not for them—creates ownership and adventure everyone can look forward to. GUEST: Dan Tinquist is a fatherhood coach, host of the Confidad Podcast, and creator of the Time Well Spent Method and Family Culture Framework. He coaches dads from around the world to move from surviving to thriving in their homes. Dan and his wife have four boys and live in Minnesota. QUOTES: "If every moment is a teachable moment, I will teach them nothing." "Control is an illusion. It is chaos that we are attempting to bring peace into." "We don't rest from our work. We work from our rest." "His mercies are new every single morning. When's the last time you lived a perfect day?" "I'm going to pray instead of open my big fat mouth and tell them why I'm right and they're wrong."

This Tuesday on The Run-Through, Chioma Nnadi sits down with British Vogue's November 2025 cover star, Gwyneth Paltrow, to talk Josh Safdie's Marty Supreme—undoubtedly one of the most anticipated films of the year.The riveting drama, about an ambitious young table tennis player named Marty Mauser (Timothée Chalamet)—and the ever-more-egregious risks he takes to prove his, well, supremacy—co-stars Paltrow as Kay Stone, the glamorous former movie star whom Mauser romances in London, then New York. (The cast also includes Kevin O'Leary, Odessa A'zion, Fran Drescher, Sandra Bernhard, and Tyler, the Creator.)In her conversation with Chioma, Gwyneth talks about being wowed by the script, co-written by Safdie and Ronald Bronstein; feeling nervous to be on a film set again; Miyako Bellizzi's beautiful costumes; Chalamet's beautiful skin; and the kind of role that she'd be intrigued to take on next.Plus, the two talk about more great fashion moments from Gwyneth's filmography (the Calvin Klein in Sliding Doors! The Donna Karan in Great Expectations!); the wellness world's recent obsession with protein and fiber; Gwyneth's refreshing thoughts on aging (“I don't want to try to look like I'm 28 years old”); and more.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Remember when Kelly mentioned she might have had an allergic reaction to anchovies in Detroit? Well, it turns out she was onto something as it happened again and this time sent her to the ER! After some time at home recovering, she's feeling better and getting ready to get into her purse era as she has to start carrying an EpiPen wherever she goes. The time recovering also allowed Kelly to finally watch "The Summer I Turned Pretty" and she has some hot takes. Plus, the TikTok creator that she spent a lot of time consuming and how it's inspiring Kelly to get into her bread era.  Speaking of bread eras, Lizz is getting ready to get into her sourdough era thanks to a party from one of her neighbors. She's having a "Soup, Sourdough and Sips" party and this is something we can all get on board with. Now Lizz needs to start planning an adult party of her own and has some really great ideas.  In Industry News, Kelly can't wait to get into her newest press car, a Toyota Grand Highlander. Lizz is ecstatic to hear that the Nissan Xterra is getting a reboot and will be back on the market in 2029. Will it be worth the wait?  Crock-tober continues as Kelly and Lizz give their take on last week's chicken and dumplings recipe. They had completely different experiences and only one of them added the recipe to their cookbook. What's on the menu this week? It's a butter chicken dish that sounds incredibly flavorful!  Finally, in honor of Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, Kelly and Lizz share the story of Teddy, Letty and the cardinal that came as a comfort to one family.
