Based on the real life of pastry chef and comedian Rachael Berman, "I’m So Done " is an endearing half-hour character driven television show that revolves around Rachael, a strong-willed woman who inherits her mother's struggling bakery. With unwavering determination, a compassionate spirit, and a strong sense of humor, Rachael embarks on a mission to save her family's legacy, while juggling the challenges of modern-day working motherhood and navigating complex relationships with extended family and employees.

Rachael finds herself at a crossroads when she steps into the role of bakery owner after her mother retires to peruse her lifelong passion to save the world, by joining every protest rally she can find. The once-thriving establishment now faces financial difficulties and a disenchanted customer base. Fueled by her love for her mother and a desire to preserve the bakery's heritage, Rachael becomes determined to turn the business around and secure its future.

As Rachael faces the uphill battle of reviving the bakery, she also grapples with the realities of being a working mother. Balancing the demands of raising her children, nurturing their dreams, and still managing her career becomes an ongoing challenge. "I’m So Done " explores the modern-day issues faced by working mothers, delving into the joys, sacrifices, guilt, and triumphs that come with striking a balance between family and professional responsibilities.

Adding to the complexity of Rachael's journey are the dynamics of her extended family. As she navigates relationships with her sometimes-eccentric husband, still trying to establish a career after his baseball career ended early; her medaling mother, who retired from the bakery, but acts as if she is still a partner, and well-meaning but often overbearing relatives; Rachael must confront conflicting opinions and find a way to assert her own vision for the bakery while preserving family harmony. The show explores the complexities and rewards of family bonds, emphasizing the importance of communication, compromise, and unconditional love in navigating these intricate relationships.

Throughout the series, "I’m Never DONE!" showcases Rachael's growth as both a businesswoman and a mother. She faces numerous obstacles, including rising competition, financial hurdles, and the need to infuse the bakery with a modern touch while staying true to its traditional roots. Rachael's unwavering determination, resourcefulness, and willingness to embrace change become catalysts for her success and personal fulfillment.

Amidst the challenges, "I’m Never DONE!" weaves in heartwarming and relatable stories that capture the essence of family, love, and community. The bakery becomes a place where customers find solace, connections are forged, and lifelong memories are created. The series embraces the transformative power of food, showcasing how the simple act of sharing a baked treat can bring people together and heal wounds.

"I’m Never DONE!" is an uplifting and relatable series that touches upon universal themes of family, legacy, and the pursuit of dreams. Through Rachael's journey, viewers are reminded that with determination, compassion, and a supportive network, one can overcome obstacles, preserve a cherished legacy, and find fulfillment as a working mother. The show celebrates the strength and resilience of women as they navigate the complexities of modern life while honoring their heritage and preserving the bonds that matter most.
