We Can Do Hard Things · (BEST OF) Ina Garten's Best Life Advice · 16 Jul 2026 podcast

It was a town that was basically closed for the winter.

It was the beginning of April.

There was nobody around.

And I walked in that store, and they were baking chocolate chip cookies.

And I thought, okay, this is where I need to be.

I have no idea why.

And we made a very low offer, thinking she'll come back.

We'll negotiate.

We drove back to Washington.

I thought, we'll think about this.

And then, as you know, on Monday morning, she called me in my office and said, thank you very much.

I accept your offer.

And I just remember thinking, oh, shit.

I think I just bought a specialty food store.

I mean, it just happened like that.

It was just crazy.

And two months later, I found myself behind the counter of a store that I owned that I didn't know anything about.

And I mean, I did it in a rational and slightly rational way.

I made a deal with her that she would stay with me for a month to teach me how to run the store, which I thought would at least give me some grounding.

I mean, part of me thought, how can I possibly leave this great job in Washington, all my friends, my husband, and just pick myself up and move to this place I've never been before to do a business I've never been in before?
