83. From Law Firm to Food Blog: Amy Nash on Building a Deliciously Successful Business & Cookbook!

In this episode of Booked Out with Bre, I am SO excited to introduce you to the amazing Amy Nash! Amy is a powerhouse mama who went from a high-stakes law career in Silicon Valley to creating the wildly popular food blog, House of Nash Eats, which draws in millions of readers every month. And now, she's a published cookbook author!

I was instantly fascinated by Amy's journey – how she discovered her love for law (it involves logic puzzles!), the decision to leave her corporate career to be home with her kids, and how a friend's encouragement sparked the idea for her incredible food blog. Amy's story is a beautiful example of how passion, dedication, and a willingness to learn can lead to a fulfilling and successful business that aligns with your life.

Here’s what you’ll hear from Amy and me:

•
