    Embodiment, Power, and the Radical Nourishment of Early Supper Clubs

    Today’s podcast might be the most powerful one yet. ✨ I sit down with feminist theologian + bestselling author Meggan Watterson to talk about embodiment, rage, and the radical nourishment of the early Christ movement. What struck me most is how Meggan reframes personal power—not as dominance, but as the courage to embody our truth. We also talk about rage, not as something to suppress, but as critical information guiding us toward love. And then there’s nourishment. The early Christ followers gathered in small supper clubs—not to proselytize dogma, but to break bread, feed one another, and create spaces of safety and belonging. Their focus was on sustenance, both physical and spiritual. This kind of communion, Meggan reminds us, creates an alchemy that fuels imagination and creativity, helping us step into the world as our truest selves—and as agents of change. This episode is truly soul food—fuel for imagination, creativity, and stepping into your own power.

    Weekly Intention #2: I will slow down.

    I’m back with another Weekly Intention audio transmission—short little episodes where I share what’s on my heart in real time, and how we can bring gentle focus into our days, both in the kitchen and beyond. This week, the message that came through (loud and clear!) was I will slow down. Slowing down doesn’t always mean moving like a turtle. Sometimes it’s simply a shift in presence. That’s what I explore in this week’s episode—how slowing down can actually help us connect more deeply, whether we’re cooking, walking, or simply moving through our day. This week, I invite you to try it for yourself. Post a note on the fridge as a reminder: I will slow down. See what happens when you bring the intention into your cooking—or into your life.

    Cooking for One (and Feeding Everyone Else Too)

    If you’ve been struggling with figuring out what to cook for yourself, weeknight family dinners, or even just packing school lunches, this episode is for you. I’m joined by cookbook author and journalist Georgia Freedman, whose writing has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, Food & Wine, Afar, Martha Stewart Living, and more. Her latest book, Snacking Dinners (Hardie Grant, 2025), came out earlier this year. In our conversation, Georgia and I cover a lot of ground—from the practical (getting dinner on the table in under 20 minutes) to the soulful (how to bring more intention into the way we feed ourselves). She shares her favorite pantry staples, her go-to tricks for cooking just for yourself (spoiler: you don’t even need pots or pans to make it feel special), and her wisdom on feeding kids, with all the little victories and struggles along the way. We even venture into school lunch territory, trading ideas and inspiration that might just make the daily packing routine feel lighter. ✨ Don’t miss the extras: Georgia shares her delicious (and easy) Tuna Hand Roll Recipe below in this week's newsletter - linked below!

    Weekly Intention #1: I Will Invite Ease.

    I’m so excited to share something new with you today: my Weekly Intention series. On the weeks in between guest conversations, I’ll be offering short, heart-led audio episodes—little transmissions, really—meant to give you a gentle focus for the days ahead. This week’s intention is one I return to often: I will invite ease. Not “make it easy,” but rather, bring a sense of ease into whatever you’re doing—whether you’re whisking soup, baking a layered cake, or simply moving through your day. It’s about perspective, not shortcuts. When we invite ease, our breath deepens, our nervous system softens, and even the simplest kitchen movements—pinching salt, stirring a pot—can carry a sense of grace.

    Cooking, Mediumship & the Energy of Food

    In this episode, I sit down with Jenn Tilton, The Channeled Baker—an intuitive chef and medium who blends nearly twenty years of culinary experience with spirit connection. We talk about the energy of food, how intention and grounding can transform the way we cook, and a simple practice you can use to sense which foods feel energizing (and which may feel heavy). Jenn also does a channeled reading for me using my blueberry almond galette recipe—and the messages she shared were spot-on. This conversation opened me in profound ways, and I have no doubt it will open something for you, too.

    Summer Cooking Made Simple

    If you’re looking for summer cooking inspiration, you’re in the right place. Today, I’m joined by Kiano Moju, a Kenyan-Nigerian American chef and author of AfriCali—named one of the best cookbooks of 2024 by The New York Times, Bon Appétit, and The Los Angeles Times. I’ve already tagged so many recipes from her book, including her Cauliflower Bhajias, and she’s shared the recipe in the newsletter - linked below! Kiano talks about her approach to cooking—rooted in simplicity and bold flavors. She weaves together the Kenyan, Nigerian, and American flavors she grew up with in a way that’s deeply personal yet totally accessible. We get into summer cooking, and she shares two game-changing tips that will bring more ease and flavor to your meals (with hardly any effort). These are going to transform your summer table. We also dive into the idea of thriving—a theme I’ve been exploring throughout the season. Kiano shares a simple shift she made that brought more joy and ease into her work life. It’s a beautiful reminder that thriving isn’t always about big changes; often, it’s the smallest adjustments that make the biggest difference.

    What Cooking Taught Me About Purpose

    Today I’m switching seats and sharing an interview about me — hosted by Renee Moorefield, CEO of Wisdom Works and a brilliant leader in the science of thriving. We talk about my journey as a food writer, what it means to truly thrive, and how cooking can foster deep inner connection. I also open up about purpose, reciprocity, and how my definition of success has completely shifted over the years. It’s personal, heartfelt, and a little tearful at the end.
