Ep. 53- Fulfilling a Childhood Dream of Opening a Bakery at 23 with Rebekah Hoffpauir

More Than Your Age

I love seeing people’s dreams come true, especially when the odds could be stacked against them. When someone has a huge passion and chases after their dream, regardless of what others may say, and it comes to fruition, it is such an exciting thing to witness and celebrate. Today’s guest is just that person.

Rebekah Hoffpauir, owner of the Bekery bakery, shares her journey of starting and growing her Parisian-inspired pastry shop in Lake Charles, Louisiana. She discusses the menu items, the European atmosphere she aims to create, and her passion for baking. Rebecca talks about her love for bread and baking from a young age and how she overcame challenges in communication and management. She shares proud moments, such as being featured in Southern Living magazine, and offers advice for aspiring entrepreneurs.
