A little surreal seeing the Sorbae journey written out like this ๐คฉ Grateful for the chance to slow down, look back, and share what Iโm still learning along the way.

Growth does not always wait until you feel ready.
For Monica Ferracioli, CEO of Sorbae Frozen Treats, building a business has meant learning when to take risks, when to focus, and how to create the systems needed to support what comes next.
What began as a personal search for a frozen dessert that felt accessible for people with allergies or dietary restrictions, exciting, and genuinely delicious has grown into a New Bedford-based business serving communities across Massachusetts and Rhode Island through mobile catering, pop-ups, and events.
Through Santanderโs Cultivate Small Business program, Monica gained valuable tools to evaluate opportunities, focus her growth strategy, and strengthen the foundation behind Sorbaeโs next stage.
Her story is a powerful reminder for entrepreneurs: growth is not always about doing more. Sometimes, it is about choosing the right opportunity and trusting yourself enough to take the next step.
