Shelby Boolay of Noco Cookie Cakes — Losing a Job While Pregnant & Redefining What’s Possible through Social Media, Community & Cake Decorating

Nico AKA Shelby Boolay, the creator behind Noco Cookie Cakes, never planned to become a viral baking sensation. A mom of two, she quietly decorated cookie cakes while her kids napped — until the internet took notice. With over half a million followers and millions of likes across Instagram and TikTok, Nico’s detailed cookie cakes have captured the attention of the internet and major brands alike. But behind the frosting is a deeper story. Nico lost her high-paying tech job while three months pregnant — a moment that could have derailed everything. Instead, she followed a small instinct to decorate and sell a cookie cake. Less than a year later, she’s built a thriving business, a devoted community, and a life that looks very different than the one she lost. In this episode: * Losing a job while pregnant — and why it doesn’t have to define what comes next * Turning a creative passion into a profitable business * Motherhood, identity, and redefining career success * Why seeing what’s possible can change everything This episode is for anyone who has been laid off, underestimated, or questioning what’s next — and needs proof that meaningful change is possible at any stage of life. ------------------------------------------------------- To connect with Shelby Boolay click HERE [https://www.instagram.com/shelbyboolay/] To learn more Noco Cookie Cakes click HERE [https://linktr.ee/shelbyboolay?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGnkr7a5vsVsJQvEOTIievLphWnCN03i_b0fI9uhXkQBs-vDxjLu71ppj2j_Xk_aem_oe02pZ7s2sJp26fd2flbgQ] To connect with CHAT CPG Food + More ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/chatcpg_food/] To connect with Elizabeth (Liz) Mulherin ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethwmelton/] To connect with Meghan Sumser ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠click HERE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.linkedin.com/in/meghan-sumser-279525135/] ********** This episode is brought to you by ⁠⁠⁠Shelf Love⁠⁠⁠ [https://www.shelflovecpg.com/about]: Shelf Love (CPG) elevates your brand through engaging in-store demos, meaningful customer interactions, and creating lasting impressions.
