  • Mind shifting concept and podcast!

    The concept of a food story has shifted the way I think about food and even how I hope to help my kids think about food. I love the rich conversations that happen on this show and exploring the connection of our life, experiences and events to how we perceive food rather than as one isolated component of our lives. Elise is a fantastic interviewer and I’m so glad to have discovered her and her podcast!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How to Cook with More Confidence and Less Stress | Serena Wolf
Q: So how does it feel? Because it's sort of out, right?
Serena describes the launch as surreal and emphasizes the long, collaborative process behind a cookbook, including concepting, writing, and the behind-the-scenes work that makes the public release meaningful.
Slow Down, Think Clearly, Live on Purpose | Cory Allen
Q: What is one piece of advice you'd want listeners to remember most from this conversation?
Be kind to yourself, slow down, and focus on what truly matters to you; true happiness comes from acting on meaningful, felt sense rather than chasing validation.
Slow Down, Think Clearly, Live on Purpose | Cory Allen
Q: What was your turning point away from hustle culture and toward a slower, more deliberate way of living?
A shift from chasing external validation and overwork to recognizing internal patterns, then choosing practices that build spaciousness and grounding, which gradually reshaped energy management and life direction.
Rethink Movement to Feel More Energized and Alive | Lara Heimann
Q: Could you share a practical example of a 'movement snack' someone can use today?
A movement snack could be a 10-15 minute routine on the ground to reconnect core and pelvic stability, followed by a power walk or a few minutes of deliberate, energy-containing steps with a grounded posture to reset mood and energy.
Rethink Movement to Feel More Energized and Alive | Lara Heimann
Q: What role does bone health play in a movement-forward lifestyle, and how should listeners approach training as they age?
Bone health is enhanced through weight-bearing movements and targeted loading, starting with bodyweight and progressing to controlled resistance. Key components include crucial work on the hands and shoulder girdle, plyometrics for hip and spine density, and ensuring proper mechanics before adding load to prevent injury.
