Leadership and Yoga Kaelyn Thede on Food & Fulfillment: A Celebration of Food, Cooking, Connection & Feeling Nourished
This is not an episode on dieting, life-hacking your food consumption, or ideal nutrient consumption. This is a healing conversation on the art of food and cooking. We touch on finding joy and presence around meals, how to avoid rushing or not feeling “full” or fully nourished, and what you might try if you have a difficult relationship with food. This is about sparking the cozy, “loved and fed” feeling, which is the name of Kaelyn’s events. She is also a private chef for yoga retreats and a yoga instructor herself.
Kaelyn is my longest friend so today you will also hear the story of how we met in 7th grade and what we learned from each other in those impactful years. Tune in for a chat that warms the heart and belly. I am eternally grateful that such a special human has been in my life since the early years.
