In this moving and honest episode of From Scratch, we sit down with Michaela Gallaher, founder of Gallaher Sourdough, a woman whose story proves that some of life’s most nourishing creations come from the deepest pain.

Michaela opens up about her journey through early family loss, growing up with complex family dynamics, and the grit it took to pay her own way through college. But her strength was tested even more when she gave birth to her daughter—who was born with a serious heart condition. What followed was a whirlwind of doctor visits, emotional upheaval, and an unshakable commitment to keep moving forward.

Through all of this, Michaela found solace in the art of baking. What started as therapy in the kitchen became her calling. Today, Gallaher Sourdough is not just a business—it's a symbol of resilience, healing, and the beautiful things that can rise from broken places.

This episode is about more than bread. It’s about grit, love, motherhood, loss, and the quiet power of rebuilding your life with your own hands.

Whether you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, a mother, or someone walking through hard times—you’ll find something deeply inspiring in Michaela’s story.
