Julia shares stories of growing up in a small Ontario community, starting her first job at Dairy Queen at just thirteen, and finding her place in the hospitality industry. We talk about her years working in restaurants, becoming a business owner in her early twenties, the lessons that came with that experience, and the career change that eventually helped bring her to Kelowna.

We also dive into how Little Frankies Cookies began as a creative outlet in her home kitchen and quickly grew into a thriving farmers market business. Julia shares the inspiration behind the name, her passion for creating plant-based recipes from scratch, and what goes into balancing a full-time career with the many hours she and her husband, Tarek, dedicate to their growing cookie business.

It's a conversation about finding your own path, learning through experience, and turning something you love into a business.
