Madeline built a strong following after creating easy to follow recipes made specifically for the Whole 30 community. But over time, she realized she was perpetuating diet culture which she wanted to escape herself. She pivoted personally, and professionally - losing followers and income immediately - but retaining her authenticity. Madeline shares tips and tools to become a blogger without completely relying on social media. 

 

Madeline is unique because aside from food, she also shares intimate parts of her life - including the realities of being in a gay marriage, food and body image struggles, and her fertility journey– all for the hopes of helping others.

 

Lisa + Madeline discuss:

• Authenticity: A behind the scenes look at what it ACTUALLY means?
• How Madeline became a full time food blogger that’s financially successful WITHOUT social media.
• Hate comments: why + how Madeline doesn’t internalize comments she gets.  
• Sexuality: why who you’re ATTRACTED to may not determine your SEXUALITY.
• Fertility: anonymous sperm donation and her journey.
• and more!
