That comes from my mom. 

Hailley's introduction to food and cooking from her "perfect home cook" mother and how that inspired her. 

It definitely started by accident. 

How HomeCooked came about to life. 

The whole landscape completely changed. 

Days away from shooting the pilot for HomeCooked the series before the first shutdown hit, Hailley had to reset and shift to adapt her plans to the new normal.  

I'm seeing that this is a creative opportunity in disguise.  

How Hailley became the Cheese Executive Officer for Wisps. 

That’s what I genuinely thought would be my career path. 

How Hailley shifted from working as a confidence coach for men to becoming a food personality. 

That was a defining, validating moment to combine your authenticity with your marketability.
