    Self Love and Food | Interview with Turner Francis-Snellgrove

    In this deeply nourishing episode of Self Love Is A Practice, host Nadine McNeil sits down with her cousin and plant-based culinary artist  Turner Francis-Snellgrove  — founder of Cocoa Yoga and Boho Vegano — for a conversation that moves from the kitchen to the soul and back again.  Turner shares her decades-long journey from debilitating food sensitivities and chronic eczema, to discovering a life-changing truth: that what we feed ourselves is one of the most profound expressions of self-love.  She walks us through the moment a Burger King milkshake brought her to her knees, the London dinner conversation that changed her relationship with dairy, and how — while still working her corporate banking job — she quietly built a coconut yogurt brand from scratch in Dubai.  That's the move from JOB to JOY. Together, Nadine and Turner explore:  🌿 Why there is no cookie-cutter approach to nourishing your body  🌿 The ancestral wisdom of "returning to the foods indigenous to you"  🌿 How food presentation is an act of self-respect  🌿 Label literacy — and why your "chocolate bar" might actually be a sugar bar  🌿 Three practical tips for building a loving relationship with what you eat  🌿 Why food, movement, and mindfulness are inseparable  This episode is timed perfectly with the New Moon in Pisces and the Spring Equinox — the season of new beginnings, clearing out, and planting seeds in fresh soil.  ✨ "Pay the farmer now — or the doctor later."  Whether you're just beginning your wellness journey or you're deep in the practice, this conversation will leave you looking at your next meal with fresh eyes — and a fuller heart.  🔗 Connect with Turner Francis-Snellgrove : Boho Vegano | Plant-Based Desserts & Workshops [https://www.instagram.com/bohovegano?igsh=MzZhYjFjdWJuaWZq&utm_source=qr] 🔗 Connect with Nadine: Universal Empress | Self-Love Coach & Wisdom Mentor [https://universalempress.com/]
