Summary

“I like running for the same reason I love to cook. I'm not looking at my computer screen, I'm not looking at my phone, I'm just outside and I'm present and that to me feels really valuable.” –Julia Turshen

In this episode we cover…

Cooking is a marathon, not a sprint.
How we can turn cooking from being frustrating and feeling like a chore to finding joy in it and feeling engaged and relaxed.
Reflect on the role of home cooks in our culture and society, especially the often undervalued labor of home cooks and their role in family, community and household.
Thinking about all the things that have to happen for us to cook at home. Everyone involved in the process: people who grow our food, who stock grocery shelves, who mop the floors at grocery stores, who work the cash registers, who deliver things on trucks, and more.
Julia’s childhood surrounded by diet culture and how that ultimately led her to write a cookbook about pushing against diet culture and pushing for us to redefine what healthy means for each of us.
How and why Julia started Equity At The Table (EATT), a free directory featuring women/gender non-conforming individuals in/around the food industry and focuses primarily on POC and the LGBTQ community.

Thank you to Momentous, Tracksmith, and Generation UCAN for sponsoring this episode.

Being a tough year with additional stresses on top of an already overwhelming situation means sleep can often be lost...but it is the one thing that we know would help us. Being a former insomniac, I know the frustration going to bed early, yet being unable to switch your brain off can bring. These Momentous Elite Sleep capsules are fantastic and contain Melatonin, Magtein® (Magnesium L-threonate), and Wild Jujube Seed Extract which together will help reduce nighttime anxiety, gently fall asleep and improve circadian rhythm to achieve higher quality sleep.
