Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday! On the podcast today is Lindsay Gardner, illustrator, artist and author of the new book, WHY WE COOK: Women On Food, Identity, and Connection. Why We Cook highlights the voices of women in the culinary world, their varied perspectives and experiences, and is a beautiful celebration of where food meets feminism. Food has the power to connect us, and bring about greater empathy, compassion, and understanding. In many ways, Lindsay’s beautiful illustrations and writing serves to empower all women to reclaim their place in the kitchen. In today’s episode Lindsay and I chat about: The inspiration behind Why We Cook, Lindsay’s desire to share the perspectives and achievements of women in the culinary world that are often overlooked, and the questions that drove Lindsay’s research for the book. The impact of COVID-19 on the food and restaurant industry, what we can learn from being in the kitchen, the power of food to connect us, and cooking as a form of storytelling. Lindsay gives us a behind the scenes look at the first interview she did for the book, the conversation that surprised her the most, and we dive into just some of the profiles in the book, from Carla Hall, Gray Chapman, Celia Sack to Gail Simmons. Plus, Lindsay shares the greatest lesson she learned from writing the book, how her relationship to cooking has changed, her biggest dream, and so much more!

An Enneagram Guide to Self-Care with Christina Wilcox

Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday! I’m so excited to share the next episode in our series, “Lessons In” featuring Sara McCormick!   Sara McCormick joins us to share a lesson she’s learned about using astrology to frame our self-care practices, especially in times of honoring our grief, why self-care is really soul-care, and how it opens up the door to a greater relationship with yourself. Through sharing her own experience with grief, Sara sheds light on why paying attention to the Moon is incredibly healing, the importance of allowing ourselves to feel our emotions without being overwhelmed by them, the growth that she’s experienced as a result of her practices, and the joy she’s found. Sara’s reflections, honesty, and vulnerability will leave you feeling inspired, and remind you that when we give ourselves permission to sit with our emotions, we’re able to expand in ways we never imagined. As Sara so beautifully shares, allowing ourselves to feel our grief lets us feel and experience our joy too. Sara McCormick is the astrologer behind Bella de Luna. She uses her background in psychology to create astrology tools for magic seekers that help you find your own power and rhythm through planning with the moon cycles, seasonal wisdom, and everyday magic. Over the years Sara has curated her self-care toolbox with tools for checking in with herself. A part of this toolset was developing her work with cosmic planning, utilizing the moon phase, seasonal cycles, and astrological wisdom to craft more magic into her daily planning and routine, which she can’t wait to share with you!

Good Morning Intentions: Everything is Ritual with Britt Deanda and Tara Schulenberg of Elevate The Globe

Happy #SeekTheJoy Tuesday! I’m so excited to share the next episode in our series, “Lessons In” featuring Liv Bowser. Liv Bowser joins us to share a lesson she’s learned about the gift of loneliness, how through spending time alone she found her passion and calling to share mental wellness, and how learning to cultivate a deeper relationship with the self allowed her to focus on owning her status in the here and now. Liv shares the growth that she’s experienced as a result, and the joy she’s found. Liv’s reflections, honesty, and vulnerability will leave you feeling inspired, and remind you that when we allow ourselves to sit in a space of loneliness or time with self, it opens us up to greater mindfulness and connection to joy and possibility. Liv Bowser is the CEO & Founder of Liberate, the first-ever mental wellness studio with group classes designed to expand and empower you. A Certified Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, she’s on a mission to mainstream mental wellness and bring human beings together on our journey to become our best selves.
