Let them have cake!

I have a passion for cooking and baking and am 100% gluten-free. This dietary restriction has not hindered me; instead, it has inspired me to adapt my approach. Over the past decade since my diagnosis, I have evolved into a skilled baker who can whip up delectable desserts without anyone suspecting they are gluten-free.

Baking has become my go-to activity in times of joy, stress, or really any time. I not only bake for myself but also share my creations with neighbors and friends.

Today, I embarked on a new culinary adventure – pistachio and almond flour cake with dark chocolate ganache. The stunning photo is from the recipe page, and the other photo is the one I made, while they look quite different - it’s the same recipe, and it tastes amazing!

Why am I sharing this personal story with you? Here are a few reasons:

👉 I am a multifaceted individual with passions beyond my professional life.

👉 Unexpected twists may arise in life, yet the path can remain rewarding and guide you to an exceptional destination.

👉 Share the fruits of your labor - whether it be guidance, a helping hand, or ½ a cake - I assure you that you’ll feel richer for doing so.

Now I’m off to enjoy a slice of cake and some trash-tv 😀

  Breaking Down Buzzwords: What DEI, ESG, and HR Really Mean for Your Business Buzzwords can be daunting. DEI, ESG, HR—what do these acronyms even mean? More importantly, why should your business care? At Purciarele Group, we’re here to demystify these terms and show you how integrating these practices into your workplace isn’t just about checking boxes—it’s about driving real value for your people and your bottom line. Diversity is about ensuring varied perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds are represented. Think beyond race and gender—it also includes age, disability, socioeconomic status, and more. Equity levels the playing field. It’s not about giving everyone the same thing but providing what individuals need to succeed. Inclusion ensures that once diversity and equity are in place, everyone feels valued, heard, and respected. Why DEI Matters: Research shows that companies with diverse leadership teams are 36% more likely to outperform less diverse peers. But it’s not ...
