In this episode of Cooking Your Way Through Life, I sit down with Tinesha Tutt for an honest and thoughtful conversation about self-love — what it really means, how it shows up differently for everyone, and why it’s never a one-size-fits-all journey.

We talk openly about how we each arrived at the place we’re in today, the challenges we faced along the way, and how growth often comes from uncomfortable moments rather than perfect ones. This episode is about redefining self-love beyond trends, affirmations, or surface-level thinking, and grounding it in real life.

The food portion of the episode focuses on intention — making yourself a meal you truly love. I walk you through four simple steps to build a self-love meal at home, using food as a way to reconnect, slow down, and take care of yourself in a meaningful way.

All episodes of the podcast are now available again on all streaming platforms, as well as on YouTube.
