Paris Culinary School, Sh**ty Jobs and The Dude Diet with Serena Wolf

43: Serena Wolf is a healthy(ish) chef, blogger, author of The Dude Diet, and beauty & wellness junkie who lives for good food, great people, and bad tv (according to her).But when I sat down with her, she can also add a free-spirited badass, with a whole ton of moxie to that list. She went to Paris to train at Le Cordon Bleu for culinary school, and... then put in some SERIOUS time doing shitty jobs she hated until she locked in her first book deal: "The Dude Diet".She keeps it REAL during this interview... and I mean talking finances, all the shit that goes into a book deal, how you can follow your dreams, but still have to make ends meet doing stuff you hate, in order to get where you want. She offers so much value to listeners, and lifts the veil behind "pursuing your passion".You can follow Serena Wolf @serenagwolf, read her blog: https://domesticate-me.com/, and buy her book The Dude Diet.Connect with Chelsea: 💻 Website ☄️SUPERNOVA doors open - starting Feb 2026 🪐 Pitch Perfect - next round Spring 2026, get on the waitlist! 📲 Instagram 📲 ✈️ Slight Turbulence Substack ☎️ Want to send a voice note to the podcast and have Chelsea answer you on air?
