Cake Therapy is a heartwarming and uplifting podcast that celebrates the transformative power of baking therapy. Hosted by Dr. Altreisha Foster, the passionate baker, entrepreneur and advocate behind Cake Therapy, this podcast is a delightful blend of inspiring stories, expert insights and practical baking tips. Each episode takes listeners on a journey of self-discovery, emotional healing and connection through the therapeutic art of baking.
She went to urgent care for breathing trouble and ended up in the ICU with an A1C of 11.7 and blood sugar at 671 and still tried to negotiate her way back to work. That jolt turned into a real-life reset for Porsha Kimble, the artist many of you first met as the Cake Diva, and the story behind her most powerful reinvention yet.
We talk with Porsha about the night she woke up in the hospital asking, “God, what am I doing in here?” and the uncomfortable lifestyle truths that followed. She breaks down the diabetes misconceptions people carry, what actually had to change in her routine, and how learning to read labels, manage portions, and move her body became non-negotiable. The most surprising part is how something as simple as walking turned into a daily practice of prayer, clarity, and emotional healing.
From there, we zoom out to entrepreneurship and sustainability in the baking business. Porsha shares the question that changed everything: what happens when you can’t produce? That mindset shift fuels her expansion into PK Elixirs, her signature flavor line for bakers, and Beyond the Frosting, a community for women ready to go past the beginner cake talk and get serious about packaging, corporate clients, onboarding, wholesale, SEO, AI tools, and building a business that doesn’t demand your health as the price of success.
