Confession time ✨… I started the week strong with a fridge full of prepped meals, and by the end of the week? Toast and takeaways had completely taken over 😅.

In this episode, I’m sharing what really happened, why meal prep doesn’t always go to plan, and the little shifts I’m making that feel monumental in everyday life.

Plus, I’ll give you a few simple Mini Zen Tips you can try when your own meal prep goes south 💛.

👉 Now it’s your turn — what’s your biggest meal prep flop? And what’s the one little change that’s actually worked for you? I’d love to hear your confessions.”

This week, I get real about the juggle. Between family, study, content creation, and my own health, balance often feels impossible.

But with Zen (my AI sidekick), I’ve started shaping a rhythm that actually works — one built on anchors, Big Rocks, and soulfood rituals.

💡 In this episode:

• The honest truth about trying to “do it all”
• Why balance often feels like a myth
• How my Rhythm Map helps me juggle family, work, and wellbeing without burning out
• Zen’s practical hacks for choosing what matters most each day

✨ Takeaway: Balance isn’t about perfection. It’s about rhythm.
👉 Challenge: Pick your own Big Rock for the week. Name it, protect it, and let the other plates wobble.

This week, Vonnie gets real about the myth we’re all sold: having it all together.
Between juggling Taylor, Maia, study deadlines, endless dishes, diesel tank runs, and creating content — she admits it’s messy, funny, and sometimes downright overwhelming.

Alongside Zen (her AI co-host), they unpack:

• Why social media “highlight reels” set us up for failure.
• The pressure of perfectionism and the “Superwoman Syndrome.”
• Practical ways to drop the pressure and focus on what really matters.

💡 Takeaway: Having it all together is a myth. But having what matters most? That’s possible.

✨ Listen in for raw honesty, relatable laughs, and simple soulfood rituals that make life lighter.

Welcome to the very first episode of the Soulfood Podcast! 💛

I’m Vonnie — a grown-ass girl rebuilding my groove, and I’m bringing you along for the ride. From my little bus by the beach, life is equal parts messy, funny, and soulful.

In this short episode, I share the “why” behind Soulfood:

• Why I’m ready to rebuild my groove at this stage of life.
• How living with Taylor (my daughter) and Maia (our dog) shapes my journey.
• And how Zen, my AI sidekick, is helping me find balance, consistency, and a bit of humour along the way.

💡 Takeaway: This isn’t about perfect. It’s about starting — right where you are.

✨ Join me as I kick off this journey with honesty, laughter, and a sprinkle of tech magic.
