Manage episode 449771686 series 3609014
Eileen Caliva is the passionate entrepreneur behind Caliva Cookies, a brand built from cherished family recipes and a love for bringing people together through food.
At 50, Eileen took a brave leap, returning to school to study culinary arts and web development. With her newfound skills, she launched a business that embodies both her Italian heritage and the simple joys of baking.
Eileen’s journey started with small steps, when she was baking from her home kitchen, but as her reputation grew, she moved into a commercial kitchen to meet the increasing demand for her baked goods, and today she operates out of a state-of-the-art facility in Troy, New York.
Her biscotti are local favorites at farmers' markets and are also available online, where she ships to cookie lovers nationwide.
As a resilient and compassionate businesswoman, Eileen has learned valuable lessons along the way, including the importance of self-care and work-life balance.
Burnout taught her to make time for herself, whether it’s hiking, kayaking, or attending retreats, and she now encourages other entrepreneurs to prioritize their well-being too.
Eileen believes that no matter your age or background, it’s never too late to follow your passion and create something meaningful, and hopes her journey will inspire others to listen to their inner voice, and take bold steps toward their dreams.
Through Caliva Cookies, Eileen doesn’t just share delicious treats—she shares a story of courage, perseverance, and the boundless power of believing in oneself.
