Welcome Eden Malinoff to Trying to Figure it Out. Eden is the owner of Baked SoCal – the actual best cookies in Los Angeles. Today, we're here to talk about mental health and what led Eden to take a pause on her baking business.
A few weeks ago, and for the first time, Eden shared on social media that she struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder and an eating disorder. In this episode, we dive into those struggles and discuss how OCD led Eden to start baking in the first place.
Eden opens up and shares her whole story. She moved to New York City freshman year to attend NYU in the dark days of the pandemic. She dropped out to move back home with her parents, and explains from there how she ended up living in LA making the best cookies in the second biggest city in the country.
