Today’s episode of the Pretty Focused Podcast is one that feels full circle for me and I can’t wait for you to hear it.

I am sitting down with Holly Yzquierdofrom My Plant-Based Family. If you’ve heard me talk about the veggie burger that changed my life, this is that story and Holly is that friend. 

Holly is an OG blogger who turned a personal health journey into a thriving business, and her story is such an incredible example of what’s possible when you show up with passion and purpose.

We flipped the script this week.

Instead of me interviewing someone else, Coach Rhadonda turned the tables and interviewed me and I had no idea what questions she was going to ask. I was slightly nervous...but I think I managed to do okay!

It was completely unfiltered, deeply personal, and honestly one of the most candid conversations I’ve had on the podcast.

What a year 2024 was for the food blogging world.

From shifts in traffic to new technology (hello, AI), it was a year full of questions—but also full of growth, clarity, and incredible comebacks.

Here’s what we talk about:

✨ How food bloggers are bouncing back
✨ Why leaning into your personal style is your biggest strength in 2025
