Turning a Passion into a Business: My Charcuterie Journey

Starting a business wasn’t something I ever set out to do. In fact, I didn’t even consider it at first. Cheesy Lifestyle began because I loved food, and I loved sharing that passion with others. It started with simple acts—making platters for friends, organizing gatherings, and sharing my love for food in small ways. But as people kept telling me how special my boards were, I began to realize that this could be something more.

Turning my passion into a business was one of the most rewarding things I’ve ever done. It wasn’t always easy, though. I faced doubts and insecurities, and there were plenty of times I questioned whether I was cut out for the business world. But the encouragement from my community kept me going. They believed in me before I believed in myself, and it’s because of their support that Cheesy Lifestyle grew from a small side project to a full-fledged business.

Through the ups and downs, I’ve learned that it’s not just about the product—it’s about the people. Every board I create is more than just food; it’s a reflection of the relationships that have helped me get to where I am today. And that, I believe, is the heart of Cheesy Lifestyle.
