In episode 417, Vinessa Knabbe teaches us how to be confident food bloggers, talking about our jobs without hesitation, regardless of where we're at in our blogging journey.

Vinessa and her family live in Long Beach, New York, a barrier Island on Long Island. Vinessa loves the beach and everything that goes along with it, heat, tan skin, sand on her feet and being outside as much as possible. She loves the heat in the kitchen also as she comes from an Italian family full of cooks. Inspired by her love of cooking, she shares family recipes on her blog, Vinessa Rae. Her skills come mainly from her grandmother, Annette, who is no longer with us but she feels close to her every time she's in the kitchen, and her mom who still amazes her with things she makes and comes up with. In this episode, she shares how she went from feeling uncomfortable talking about her job as a food blogger to being able to promote her blog without fear.
