Living Easy with Lindsey

151 | Losing Yourself After Motherhood and Finding God in the Messy Middle with Dina Deleasa-Gonsar


Listen Later

In this episode, I sit down with DishItGirl Dina Deleasa-Gonsar—wife, mom, cookbook author, and yes, Kevin Jonas' sister-in-law—for a vulnerable conversation that goes far beyond food. Dina discusses how her time on the reality series Married to Jonas became the boost she needed to start growing on social media, her Italian roots, and how Sunday dinners in her dorm room became the heartbeat of her kitchen. We talk about her new cookbook, At the Kitchen Sink, and the lost art of gathering as a family—which is more powerful than we realize.

Dina also shares her raw journey through postpartum anxiety and depression—navigating identity loss, therapy, and medication while watching others in her world thrive.

She opens up about receiving a cancer diagnosis while writing her book, and how her faith sustained her even when the future felt uncertain. From the chaos of early motherhood to the peace found around a dinner table, this episode is a reminder that God always shows up—even when we're still in the storm.
