Mid Career Pivot from Healthcare to Content Creation and building a Personal Brand-Hetal Vasavada, Baker, Blogger,Author-Milk and Cardamom

<p>Have you ever wondered how to make a career pivot from your corporate job to pursue your passion. Hetal Vasavada talks about how she made the transition from the Heath sector to being a baker, blogger who has been featured in magazines such as Bon Appetit and walked the red carpet. She has grown her Instagram followership to 108,000 followers and has built and active, engaged community. Her first leap of faith came as a contestant on Season 6 of Master Chef but it has not been easy sailing. She has learnt a lot of new skills, done a lot of heavy lifting and constantly edits and revamps her strategy as she runs into road blocks. She talks about hoe she has got paid clients and how her values help define her and her business partnerships. We also segue into sustainability and fast fashion as we touch on culture, being immigrants and children of immigrant parents and how we straddle both worlds. We briefly touch on micro aggression in the workplace and toxic cultures that can exist. This topic is going to have to be deep dived in a separate podcast episode to do it justice.</p><p>Hetal Vasavada was a contestant on Season 6 of MasterChef and is the founder of the blog Milk &amp; Cardamom.
