In this EP., I discuss the importance of food as a source of energy AND JOY, and why we need to fall in love with learning how to feed ourselves and find joy in the kitchen. Drawing from personal experiences, I emphasise the need to find your own culinary inspiration—what I call your 'Ottolenghi effect.' I offer practical tips on meal planning, preparation, and making the cooking process enjoyable. I delve into my admiration for Yotam Ottolenghi, explaining how his cookbooks inspire my weekly cooking rituals and foster a deep love for cooking.

In a world that often pits women against each other in a cycle of comparison and competition, it’s refreshing to find women and endeavours that celebrate individuality, creativity, and community. Freyah Howland the visionary behind Freyah Does Nudes (FDN), joins me on the pod to discuss her work of making women feel good in their skin.

In this vibrant, insightful conversation, Freyah shares her journey from a small town in Australia to running female empowerment events globally, where women paint their own nudes, embracing their bodies in a celebration of self-love and creativity.

Freyah is redefining what it means to embrace and love oneself. As she continues to expand her vision, the impact of her work will undoubtedly inspire more women to reclaim their bodies, express their creativity, and support each other in their unique journeys.
