Let’s Get Salty with Alyssa Sperry

Alyssa and I met back in 2008 in school of ministry and we have basically been friends ever since. Alyssa found herself working through heartbreak, grief for her beloved pet, and rejection after rejection during a pandemic. When she thought it was all she could take, a new dream was born. Alyssa Sperry is a pastry chef, world traveler, researcher, published author, business owner, and a complete joy to be around. On this episode she shares about her journey from feeling the lowest she could feel to the launch of a new business.
