Ep 26: Restaurant Madness — 17 Years in the Industry


Listen Later

Seventeen years. Countless shifts. Endless stories. From dive bars to fine dining, bottle service to management — I’ve seen it all in the wild world of hospitality. In this episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on the beautiful chaos of restaurant life — the laughter, the late nights, the lessons, and the energy that connects it all.

From breaking up bar fights with a broom to saving baby ducks from a chlorine pool (yes, really), this episode dives deep into what really goes on behind the scenes — and how each experience shaped me into the conscious leader I am today.

I’m also sharing how I now blend hospitality with holistic healing — bringing Reiki, mindfulness, and energy awareness into my daily work, helping shift restaurant culture from stress and burnout to presence and purpose.

Whether you’re in the industry or simply love a good behind-the-scenes story, this episode is for you. It’s funny, raw, real, and filled with heart-centered insight about what it means to serve — not just food, but energy.

💫 In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• The truth about what it’s like working in restaurants for nearly two decades
• Lessons on leadership, communication, and energy from behind the bar
• How holistic healing can transform the hospitality industry
• Why conscious service is the future of dining and teamwork
