Join Kylie King, founder of Australian Ladies in Business Initiative as she talks to Scerena Thompson of The Empowered Oven.The Empowered Oven Workshop Experience - https://www.facebook.com/share/18gB6sTcVv/Hello, I’m Scerena For 28 years, I’ve lived and breathed the world of food — as a culinary chef and pastry chef. But life shifted when I became seriously ill, spent a month in hospital, and was diagnosed with celiac disease. The shock was real suddenly, the foods I once created with joy were no longer safe.I searched for gluten‑free options in supermarkets, but almost nothing felt right too artificial, lacking flavor, or missing that “home” touch. So, I turned inward and backward: drawing on my decades of experience, I began developing my own authentic gluten‑free recipes.What began as something to heal myself turned into a mission. I launched in local markets. To my delight, people with gluten intolerance tasted my creations and said, “I can't tell the difference.” That feedback lit the spark.You can stalk her here:Website - https://www.the-empowered-oven.com/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575078680532Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/@the_empowered_oven Want to hear other amazing inspirational stories from Australian Ladies in Business?Subscribe to our channel and also join our Facebook group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/ALIBIGroup
