What do you bake when it's freezing cold and in need of some comfort food? Sourdough buttery rolls! A recipe I found on Insta and had to try. I cheated on the process a little because, well, my back was giving me grief and not having any of the standing nonsense required for some of the steps, sooooooooo, I skipped it. Even with fast tracking the process they came out great only to discover we had no more jam. So what did I do? I improvised. I had some sourdough donut syrup left from a week or two ago and I had some frozen blueberries so I made quick homemade blueberry jam and it was yum with the buttery rolls!

When you live life with a glass half full you don't see stop signs, only speed bumps and you can choose to go over or around, your move.

Stefanie Pinsley landed a seemingly “perfect” dream job at Google as a Product Marketing Manager after graduating from Cornell University in 2017. A lifelong people-pleaser and high-achiever, this made her family proud and she felt she had finally “made it”. It all came crashing down in August 2020 when she was forced to take a leave of absence for severe burnout that affected her mental and physical health.

Stefanie found herself completely lost, confused, and stuck without a clue of what to do next. She craved a sense of purpose and autonomy, so she started sharing her knowledge on TikTok. Within months, she had 70,000 followers and attracted all kinds of opportunities from podcast and media features, to brand deals, business partnerships, clients, and more.

About Stefanie Pinsley:
Stefanie is a Cornell university graduate and former Googler turned coach and speaker dedicated to helping leaders get unstuck from unfulfilling careers. She helps clients build confidence, create clarity and attract new, aligned opportunities by developing your personal brand.

After returning to Google in early 2021, Stefanie faced a critical turning point in her career. Should she stay at Google or quit this “dream job” to embark on an unknown journey into entrepreneurship?
