The Messy Middle of Building Something You Believe In

The Messy Middle of Building Something You Believe In

Christina Tosi built an iconic dessert empire on sugar, grit, and a relentless drive to bring joy. This week on SUPERWOMEN, I sit down with the award-winning chef and founder behind Milk Bar to talk about the parts of her story you don’t always see. You may know Christina as the mastermind behind cereal milk or from her time on MasterChef, but what stuck with me was her honesty about the chaos of building something from scratch—and the even harder part of staying in it once the buzz dies down. We also talk about staying creative under pressure, what it feels like to be copied without credit, and why Christina still finds joy in baking after all these years.
