Journey from Justice System to Cake Therapy with Kristi Cobbs and Sue Berry

Cake Therapy

Kristi Cobbs never planned to become a social worker in the justice system, but her passion for helping girls who face significant challenges led her to a transformative career path. On this episode of the Cake Therapy Podcast, we talk with Christy about her unexpected journey from aspiring school social worker to supporting young women in juvenile detention. Her story highlights the essential need to address the basic needs of these girls before focusing on academic success, and how non-traditional interventions can lead to meaningful change.
We dive into the world of alternative therapies, exploring how creative outlets like Cake Therapy can provide both therapeutic benefits and vital skills for young people who have experienced trauma. Drawing on her experiences as a former director of a correctional facility, Kristi shares the ongoing struggle to bring innovation into juvenile justice systems. Kristi and I discuss the optimism surrounding programs like Cake Therapy, which aim to provide community-based support and early intervention to keep girls out of the system and promote better mental health and rehabilitation.
Then we tie in Sue Berry's inspiring journey from incarceration to entrepreneurship, illustrating the power of vocational skills in transforming lives. Through the therapeutic act of baking, Sue found healing, growth, and eventually success with her business, The Original Sue Berry. Her story underscores the theme of resilience and reinvention, showing how creativity and vocational training can open doors to new opportunities. We wrap up this episode by encouraging support for the Cake Therapy Foundation's mission to empower women and girls through creative outlets, fostering hope and healing in their lives.
