I was just telling you, and I mean 0:02:16.440 --> 0:02:18.200 this from the bottom of my heart. You have to 0:02:18.240 --> 0:02:20.519 be one of the most beautiful people that has ever 0:02:20.560 --> 0:02:24.360 walked the face of theory. You're just like a flawless 0:02:24.400 --> 0:02:26.919 looking human. No, I have flaws trussed me. I don't 0:02:26.919 --> 0:02:29.680 see them. Okay, they're not visible to the naked. For 0:02:29.760 --> 0:02:32.440 you let's send them. Okay, I need to see it 0:02:32.480 --> 0:02:35.480 to believe it, because you are so stunning, but not 0:02:35.520 --> 0:02:38.000 just on the outside, on the inside too, which is 0:02:38.160 --> 0:02:45.320 really what makes you dynamite because you have this you 0:02:45.400 --> 0:02:49.320 have you had the courage and the ability to follow 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:53.560 a dream, and I think that is something that is 0:02:53.639 --> 0:02:57.200 so difficult to do, especially even sometimes for women. You know, 0:02:57.280 --> 0:02:59.680 and not to be this it's harder to be a woman. 0:02:59.720 --> 0:03:04.360 But you launched a company in a huge, thriving city 0:03:04.360 --> 0:03:06.040 of Nashville, and you did it all by yourself, and 0:03:06.040 --> 0:03:09.320 it's called Vibe Chefs, And I just want to talk 0:03:09.360 --> 0:03:12.720 about how you got inspired to do that, what led 0:03:12.760 --> 0:03:16.040 you to caring so much about health and to wanting 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.680 to make that your business to help other people have 0:03:18.800 --> 0:03:22.040 an easy access to health because your slogan is good food, 0:03:22.080 --> 0:03:25.120 good vibes, our food tailor nutrition and custom cooking for 0:03:25.160 --> 0:03:27.360 those who can't, won't, or don't want to do it 0:03:27.400 --> 0:03:31.160 for themselves. So tell me where this vision came from. Um, 0:03:31.200 --> 0:03:35.080 to be totally honest, this wasn't my dream, Like, what 0:03:35.160 --> 0:03:37.120 was your dream? What brought you to Nashville? Well, I 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:39.760 actually I moved to Nashville about eight or nine years ago, 0:03:39.800 --> 0:03:44.880 now directly immediately following my college graduation. I wanted to 0:03:44.880 --> 0:03:48.520 work in the music business in any capacity. You just 0:03:48.520 --> 0:03:50.840 wanted to work in the music business. I like, I 0:03:50.840 --> 0:03:52.440 didn't even know what that meant. I was like, well, 0:03:52.560 --> 0:03:54.160 I can either be a singer, I can work at 0:03:54.160 --> 0:03:57.120 the radio. So you're saying, also, don't but I was like, 0:03:57.120 --> 0:03:59.120 those are the two options in the country music That's 0:03:59.120 --> 0:04:01.360 what I thought. Because I as naive, I googled Nashville 0:04:01.400 --> 0:04:02.640 and I was like, oh, I guess this is where 0:04:02.640 --> 0:04:05.160 country music happens. I like country music. That's what I'm 0:04:05.160 --> 0:04:08.000 gonna do with my life. So how did you decide 0:04:08.040 --> 0:04:10.360 that you like country music so much? Do you love 0:04:10.440 --> 0:04:12.800 country music? I did? And I grew up all over 0:04:12.880 --> 0:04:15.720 but mostly in California, UM, where country music is not 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:20.040 really super happening, or it wasn't at least back then. UM, 0:04:20.080 --> 0:04:21.880 But it was just my thing. I was really into it. 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.719 Um My parents were both from Georgia, and so I 0:04:24.760 --> 0:04:27.640 was raised kind of in that southern mentality, and that 0:04:27.760 --> 0:04:30.360 was just something that was always really close to my heart. 0:04:30.520 --> 0:04:32.320 Like I had this connection to it where I felt 0:04:32.320 --> 0:04:34.840 like that was like, so you're calling you yeah, and 0:04:34.880 --> 0:04:36.760 so I was like, if I could have a job 0:04:36.760 --> 0:04:38.800 in that, like that would be tight. So I was like, 0:04:38.800 --> 0:04:41.240 I'm I'm gonna do that. So I just moved out 0:04:41.240 --> 0:04:43.200 here after college, so just off of a love in 0:04:43.240 --> 0:04:46.200 your heart for it. Yeah, and I I but with 0:04:46.360 --> 0:04:47.880 no idea what you were going to do. I didn't 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:51.080 know one person, didn't have any leads anything did you 0:04:51.080 --> 0:04:53.039 do when you got here? I knew a friend of 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:54.560 a friend of a friend who put me in touch 0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:56.320 with somebody who was going to get me a job. 0:04:56.320 --> 0:04:58.440 And I was like, oh, totally it's gonna work out right, 0:04:58.480 --> 0:05:00.360 you just believed't work. I was like, okay, So I 0:05:00.760 --> 0:05:04.040 drove out here and I just went for it. Yeah, 0:05:04.080 --> 0:05:06.680 I mean it's just that's my life. I'm just like, okay, 0:05:06.720 --> 0:05:11.400 this sounds good. Um. So I actually I came out 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.240 here and stayed in a hotel. I booked like one 0:05:14.360 --> 0:05:17.240 night at the Extended Day in Brentwood because for sure 0:05:17.279 --> 0:05:18.680 I was going to meet this person they were gonna 0:05:18.680 --> 0:05:21.120 give me a job. But yeah, so I kept booking 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:25.119 like night after night after night, and um, this lady 0:05:25.160 --> 0:05:26.600 that I was supposed to meet kept putting me off, 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:28.720 and I was like okay, So after seven days, I 0:05:28.800 --> 0:05:30.520 was like, this is stupid. What am I doing? I 0:05:30.560 --> 0:05:32.560 need to leave. So I like packed up my stuff 0:05:32.600 --> 0:05:34.400 and I was like, I'm leaving in the morning.

And I was like okay. And so 0:05:51.640 --> 0:05:56.080 I get there and it's, um, like the People magazine 0:05:56.200 --> 0:05:59.120 launched party for Miranda Lambert at the Hutton Hotel. It's 0:05:59.160 --> 0:06:03.479 like some big pankie event.

Like some super random connection 0:06:19.640 --> 0:06:22.000 of like a friend of like in contact with her 0:06:22.160 --> 0:06:24.560 and you just reached out to her, and then and 0:06:24.560 --> 0:06:26.640 then she reached out to her, and she ended up 0:06:26.680 --> 0:06:29.120 being the CEO of the Country Music Association, and she 0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:30.479 was like, can you come on board and help me 0:06:30.640 --> 0:06:33.000 be my assistant? And then also, um, I just got 0:06:33.080 --> 0:06:35.000 a divorce, so can you help me with my kids? 0:06:35.000 --> 0:06:37.360 And also we have a third level in our house. 0:06:37.400 --> 0:06:39.800 You could live there like everything that I needed with 0:06:40.080 --> 0:06:41.800 like a job, of place to live, like all of 0:06:41.800 --> 0:06:43.760 the stuff. Are you kidding now? And so that was 0:06:43.800 --> 0:06:47.000 like my first whoa, whoa whoa Okay, And to me, 0:06:47.440 --> 0:06:49.800 those are the moments, those are some of the defining 0:06:49.839 --> 0:06:53.840 moments in life where it's almost like God, the higher 0:06:53.880 --> 0:06:56.920 force is like, I'm gonna give you a break, so 0:06:56.960 --> 0:06:58.560 you know that you're on the right track, so you 0:06:58.600 --> 0:07:00.000 know that you're not going to throw in the town 0:07:00.000 --> 0:07:02.159 and give up. Do you feel that way? I do now, 0:07:02.200 --> 0:07:04.440 But I didn't then. What did you feel? Then? I 0:07:04.520 --> 0:07:06.719 was just like, cool, that was lucky. Like at that 0:07:06.800 --> 0:07:10.440 point I knew when I super lucky when I had 0:07:10.560 --> 0:07:13.360 dream right, yeah it was, and I was stoked, Like 0:07:13.400 --> 0:07:15.080 I was so pumped. I was like this is awesome. 0:07:15.080 --> 0:07:18.760 I mean, I to be honest, learned way too much, 0:07:18.760 --> 0:07:21.600 way too fast about the dirty inside of the industry 0:07:21.600 --> 0:07:27.000 that most people do. She's running a huge yeah yeah yeah, 0:07:27.640 --> 0:07:30.080 And I was like, Okay, did you see this was 0:07:30.120 --> 0:07:33.080 a fact track of learning. I mean, oh, I don't know, 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.920 just like the politics of it, the inside of it. 0:07:35.960 --> 0:07:38.040 And I also got a really good perspective of like 0:07:38.120 --> 0:07:40.360 just the layout of it. Like I really quickly understood 0:07:40.800 --> 0:07:43.640 how the labels and the publishers and the p r 0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:46.120 os and like all the aspects of it like functioned together. 0:07:46.200 --> 0:07:49.360 Because CMA is kind of like this thing that's affiliated 0:07:49.400 --> 0:07:51.120 with all of them, and all of her board members 0:07:51.120 --> 0:07:53.640 were the heads of all of these other entities, and 0:07:53.680 --> 0:07:56.800 so I got to create relationships with each of them 0:07:56.800 --> 0:07:59.160 when I would start to email them or whatever for 0:07:59.240 --> 0:08:02.600 her on her behalf, and um, I mean, and some 0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:06.760 of those relationships, like honestly, um, like they helped me. 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:09.480 I got interviews, I got mentored by some of these people, 0:08:09.560 --> 0:08:12.160 and I still like connect with some of them. Um. 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:14.120 And I so I do feel like very blessed and 0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.960 lucky to have had that opportunity. How did you live 0:08:17.000 --> 0:08:22.640 there live with her? I don't even remember at this point, 0:08:22.720 --> 0:08:25.920 maybe a year or so until I got my own 0:08:25.960 --> 0:08:30.119 apartment and that's amazing. Yeah, so it was awesome. Um. 0:08:30.160 --> 0:08:33.000 But yeah, at that point, like I felt in my 0:08:33.040 --> 0:08:34.880 heart that Nashville was where I was supposed to be. 0:08:35.040 --> 0:08:37.240 But I didn't have like the relationship with God that 0:08:37.280 --> 0:08:40.080 I do now that that like, now looking back, I 0:08:40.120 --> 0:08:42.640 see how much like he worked in that. But then 0:08:42.679 --> 0:08:46.400 I was just young and you know, like all about me. 0:08:46.520 --> 0:08:50.240 You know, how did you start developing this relationship with God? Um? 0:08:50.280 --> 0:08:54.440 I go, I really I pursued it through what made 0:08:54.440 --> 0:08:56.800 you want to pursue it? Um? I went to a 0:08:57.200 --> 0:09:01.640 church called The Belonging Here and it's fantastic. It's very 0:09:01.720 --> 0:09:04.160 much like Spirit Lead. It's nothing like any church I've 0:09:04.160 --> 0:09:06.800 ever been to. The pastor. Churches are scary. They make 0:09:06.840 --> 0:09:08.400 you feel like you're gonna rotten hell if you do 0:09:08.440 --> 0:09:10.840 anything wrong. And I feel like that's kind of turn 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:14.280 it's not religion sometimes. Yeah, it's definitely not like that 0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:16.240 at all. Like I mean, our pastors up there in 0:09:16.240 --> 0:09:18.640 like a flatbill hat like preaching like they're so cool, 0:09:18.679 --> 0:09:20.800 they're so normal. It's like sitting in your living room 0:09:20.840 --> 0:09:24.520 with anybody like that, you know, and then like Holy Spirit, 0:09:24.559 --> 0:09:27.240 and I mean it is like it is kind of intense, 0:09:27.280 --> 0:09:29.520 and at first I remember being super overwhelmed. I was 0:09:29.559 --> 0:09:31.480 like about to have a panic attack at the back door, 0:09:31.559 --> 0:09:33.679 like I can't handle this. But then once you get 0:09:33.720 --> 0:09:35.840 into it, it was just because you're feeling things or 0:09:35.840 --> 0:09:37.640 because it was just too in the presence of God, 0:09:37.640 --> 0:09:40.559 there is like super real. It's like you actually felt that. 0:09:40.600 --> 0:09:43.280 You went in kind of not feeling anything other than 0:09:43.360 --> 0:09:45.840 just like, yeah, so curious about it because I was 0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:47.719 interested and I was dating the guy at the time 0:09:47.760 --> 0:09:51.080 who was um who knew a lot more about that, 0:09:51.120 --> 0:09:52.760 and so I was like okay. And so then when 0:09:52.760 --> 0:09:54.640 I when I went there, I saw this and I 0:09:54.720 --> 0:09:57.400 saw what people were experiencing, and I was just it 0:09:57.480 --> 0:10:01.480 wasn't just like a crock of Yeah, it was real, 0:10:02.040 --> 0:10:04.760 but it seemed to me like from the outside. Now 0:10:04.760 --> 0:10:06.760 when I bring people there, when I bring friends there, 0:10:06.800 --> 0:10:10.160 I'm always like, okay, like don't freaked out, don't get 0:10:10.200 --> 0:10:12.520 turned off, Like it's just so fun and real and cool, 0:10:12.640 --> 0:10:15.520 and it's just like it's like a party honestly, but 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:18.680 it's really it's really great, Like it's changed my life. 0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:21.320 How has that changed your life? Because I know too. 0:10:21.880 --> 0:10:24.000 When you Earlier in your career, you were on a 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:26.839 TV show wild Heart Goosh, we have to know we 0:10:26.880 --> 0:10:29.160 don't have to talk about that. But you've pursued a 0:10:29.160 --> 0:10:32.080 lot of different things before, a lot of things. Tell 0:10:32.080 --> 0:10:34.440 me some of the the things you did before you got 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:39.400 to your calling and how God got you to this calling. Um, 0:10:39.480 --> 0:10:44.000 so I I after c m A, I went through UM, 0:10:44.040 --> 0:10:48.760 I worked at another like startup music video network. Um 0:10:48.800 --> 0:10:51.920 that ended badly then I like the owner got indicted 0:10:51.960 --> 0:10:55.080 for fraud. We all got like really screwed. And Um 0:10:55.320 --> 0:10:56.839 what did you learn during that? What do you think 0:10:56.840 --> 0:11:00.760 the point of that was for you to learn? I mean, 0:11:03.160 --> 0:11:06.440 I don't know. I guess I've stopped at this point. 0:11:06.480 --> 0:11:08.800 I've stopped questioning, like what was the purpose of that? 0:11:08.880 --> 0:11:11.319 Because I just trust that God's going to work everything 0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:14.000 together for good And like sometimes if you love that, 0:11:14.040 --> 0:11:17.320 if you get off the path, like that's fine. Like, like, 0:11:17.880 --> 0:11:19.440 how do you know when you're on the right path? 0:11:19.520 --> 0:11:20.800 What do you what does it feel like when you're 0:11:20.840 --> 0:11:22.360 on the right path as opposed to when you're on 0:11:22.400 --> 0:11:26.440 the wrong path. Is there is there a different feeling? 0:11:27.120 --> 0:11:28.679 Can you tell now or is it easier for you 0:11:28.760 --> 0:11:31.320 to identified now? I're like, Okay, I'm on the right 0:11:31.360 --> 0:11:34.120 road as opposed to I mean, I don't even know 0:11:34.160 --> 0:11:36.760 if it's so much path because I don't I don't 0:11:36.760 --> 0:11:40.360 think life, like time is linear, and but I don't 0:11:40.400 --> 0:11:43.800 think that like you necessarily have this trajectory that's course 0:11:43.800 --> 0:11:46.400 that you're like predestined and you need to follow it. 0:11:46.440 --> 0:11:48.959 I think that like life is just a series of going, 0:11:50.320 --> 0:11:53.480 like just doing things, and like inevitably you'll end up 0:11:53.480 --> 0:11:57.000 where you're supposed to end up. And like if you 0:11:57.120 --> 0:11:59.760 if you, I don't know. I just God redeems things, 0:11:59.800 --> 0:12:02.400 you do everything, so if you mess up, like he'll 0:12:02.440 --> 0:12:04.600 redeem it and work it together and get you back 0:12:04.600 --> 0:12:07.440 where you need to be. So I think it's more 0:12:07.480 --> 0:12:10.000 about just like I love that you're just trusting. I 0:12:10.040 --> 0:12:12.160 love that you're not trying to analyze it. I have 0:12:12.200 --> 0:12:13.800 a bad habit of trying to figure out the meaning 0:12:13.800 --> 0:12:15.920 for everything. I'm like, why did I go through that? 0:12:15.960 --> 0:12:18.360 There has to be some greater meaning what I'm sure 0:12:18.360 --> 0:12:20.520 there is. But also you're right, it just gives you 0:12:20.559 --> 0:12:22.719 to the next because you do, I mean, you learn things, 0:12:22.760 --> 0:12:25.400 you learn about yourself, you learn about experiences like just 0:12:25.480 --> 0:12:27.880 in like or love and relationships. You know, it's like, oh, 0:12:27.920 --> 0:12:30.319 why did I go through that chapter with this person, 0:12:30.360 --> 0:12:31.959 because now you get past you like I should have 0:12:32.040 --> 0:12:35.000 never been with that. But like I said this the 0:12:35.040 --> 0:12:38.520 other day, that like the heart that you have now 0:12:38.880 --> 0:12:42.280 is is the culmination and the combination of every experience 0:12:42.320 --> 0:12:46.480 your heart has ever gone through, and so great. Yeah, 0:12:46.559 --> 0:12:50.920 so you you just aren't who you are without going 0:12:50.960 --> 0:12:54.680 through all those things. I totally agree, And I feel 0:12:54.720 --> 0:12:57.520 like it's so weird to say, because I think I 0:12:57.520 --> 0:13:00.400 would never want anyone to suffer, including myself or anyone, 0:13:00.440 --> 0:13:03.400 but those moments of suffering have been the greatest defining 0:13:03.440 --> 0:13:05.960 moments of my personal life, and a lot of people 0:13:05.960 --> 0:13:10.520 I interview feel that same way, that going surviving a 0:13:10.559 --> 0:13:13.559 moment that was so painful actually gives you an insight 0:13:13.600 --> 0:13:19.520 and awareness you could never have gotten otherwise. Absolutely. Um yeah, 0:13:20.120 --> 0:13:22.960 so tell me how you your road led you, or 0:13:23.040 --> 0:13:26.800 your your journey led you to one day being like, Okay, 0:13:26.840 --> 0:13:29.920 you did all these jobs. You obviously have a face 0:13:29.920 --> 0:13:31.840 to be on camera. You could be on camera if 0:13:31.880 --> 0:13:34.480 you wanted to be in a million different ways, but 0:13:34.559 --> 0:13:38.800 you decided, Okay, I'm focusing on health, and this is 0:13:38.840 --> 0:13:41.559 what I want to do with my life and then Okay, 0:13:41.640 --> 0:13:45.800 let me create this amazing company. How did that moment happen? Um, 0:13:46.200 --> 0:13:48.640 there was no moment, And that I think is like 0:13:48.800 --> 0:13:50.920 what is different. I hear a lot of people that 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:53.640 have had this dream or like they've known all along 0:13:53.640 --> 0:13:55.880 that they want to be an artist, or they want 0:13:55.880 --> 0:13:58.000 to go on tour, they want to do whatever they 0:13:58.000 --> 0:13:59.680 want to do and they've always known it, or like 0:13:59.679 --> 0:14:01.559 they've this epiphany where they're like, this is what I'm 0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.440 supposed to do. And for me, there was no moment. 0:14:04.640 --> 0:14:08.360 There wasn't no I And to be honest, I don't 0:14:08.360 --> 0:14:10.120 know that there still is. I don't. I don't want 0:14:10.160 --> 0:14:13.120 to run a company. Dude, it's hard, but you're dying it. Yeah. 0:14:13.160 --> 0:14:14.800 But I wasn't like, oh I can't wait to run 0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:18.120 my own company. No, Like I don't know. I mean, 0:14:18.400 --> 0:14:21.480 it just happened. Yeah, Like I I it just sort 0:14:21.520 --> 0:14:24.680 of fell into my lap. Like I I've always loved 0:14:25.360 --> 0:14:27.680 health and nutrition, Like I think that that's super important. 0:14:27.760 --> 0:14:29.960 I think that we should take care of the bodies 0:14:30.000 --> 0:14:34.400 were given and respect that. But and I believe there's 0:14:34.440 --> 0:14:37.280 like a place for that. But for me, where this 0:14:37.440 --> 0:14:40.160 came from was. I just started kind of doing it 0:14:40.200 --> 0:14:43.200 on the side, and then it it grew organically by 0:14:43.520 --> 0:14:45.360 word of mouth. And I mean to this day, I've 0:14:45.440 --> 0:14:49.640 I've never even really marketed it. Um where you just 0:14:49.720 --> 0:14:52.320 catering for people or what did you start doing on this? Yeah? 0:14:52.360 --> 0:14:55.160 So I started just working with this one family that 0:14:55.280 --> 0:14:57.280 they asked me to come over and organize their pantry 0:14:57.320 --> 0:14:59.480 and help coach them on like they wanted to adopt 0:14:59.480 --> 0:15:01.720 a paleol style and get their kids eating healthier food. 0:15:01.720 --> 0:15:04.000 So they're like, can you just help us shop for 0:15:04.040 --> 0:15:05.640 these things and help us like figure out what we 0:15:05.680 --> 0:15:07.120 need to keep in the house, how to work this 0:15:07.160 --> 0:15:09.440 into our life. And I was like, sure, that sounds fun. 0:15:09.640 --> 0:15:11.560 So um. So I did that and she's like, well, 0:15:11.600 --> 0:15:13.320 you know what, we really wanted someone to cook for us. 0:15:13.360 --> 0:15:14.800 And I was like, oh no, no, no, Like I 0:15:14.800 --> 0:15:16.720 don't know how to cook, like I cook for myself, 0:15:16.720 --> 0:15:18.880 but I've never done that before. And she was like, well, 0:15:18.920 --> 0:15:21.720 let's just try it, and I said okay. So we 0:15:21.800 --> 0:15:23.920 tried it and she loved it and I loved it 0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:25.800 and I had a blast doing it. She would send 0:15:25.800 --> 0:15:28.400 me recipes that she found on Pinterest or something, and 0:15:28.480 --> 0:15:29.800 I would go to the store and get all the 0:15:29.800 --> 0:15:31.480 groceries and stuff, and then I go to the house 0:15:31.520 --> 0:15:34.080 and cook everything and like leave it for them and 0:15:34.160 --> 0:15:35.880 label it, you know. And they'd come home from work 0:15:35.960 --> 0:15:40.800 both the meals, and they all just worked super long hours, 0:15:40.800 --> 0:15:42.800 so they were relying on take out a lot. They were, 0:15:42.960 --> 0:15:46.480 you know, just throwing things together, and uh so this 0:15:46.760 --> 0:15:52.280 allowed them to have like a home cooked meal. So 0:15:53.440 --> 0:15:56.720 when so I started to just mention that was something 0:15:56.760 --> 0:15:59.960 I was doing as a hobby, and um, I had 0:16:00.040 --> 0:16:01.680 friends say, Oh, I know someone else who would love that. 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:03.160 Would you want to do it for someone else too? 0:16:03.280 --> 0:16:07.320 And I was like, sure, I guess so I did, 0:16:07.400 --> 0:16:09.480 and then she told people and it just kind of 0:16:09.480 --> 0:16:13.400 grew to the point that I had to quit anything 0:16:13.400 --> 0:16:15.640 else I had going on, like working at restaurant jobs 0:16:15.760 --> 0:16:17.560 or whatever else I was doing on the side while 0:16:17.600 --> 0:16:21.760 I was waiting for something to happen in my life. Um, 0:16:21.840 --> 0:16:23.640 and then it got to the point where I was 0:16:23.680 --> 0:16:25.560 full and I had to like hire someone else to 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:29.400 help me. And so many people need this, and truly 0:16:29.880 --> 0:16:32.640 I'm someone who needs this. It's like to have great 0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:35.040 food that tastes good, that's at your house. So you 0:16:35.080 --> 0:16:38.520 make good decisions, and that is an amazing Yeah. I 0:16:38.560 --> 0:16:41.560 mean there's so many reasons that it's helpful to people. 0:16:41.640 --> 0:16:44.440 Like we work a lot with people that have UM 0:16:45.080 --> 0:16:49.120 autoimmune diseases, are A A, or thyroid disorders or UM 0:16:49.280 --> 0:16:53.160 diabetes or just things like health problems or health concerns 0:16:53.200 --> 0:16:55.680 that are really benefited by the food they eat. And 0:16:55.680 --> 0:16:59.440 I've had clients that have never tried to adjust their 0:16:59.440 --> 0:17:03.400 diet and have found like that it's helped immensely when 0:17:03.400 --> 0:17:06.080 they eliminate foods that are inflammatory or foods that are 0:17:06.960 --> 0:17:09.240 UM exacerbating their condition in ways that they didn't even 0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:11.359 connect that too. Like really, what you put in your 0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:15.320 body is everything, Like it manifests itself in every single 0:17:15.359 --> 0:17:19.880 way of your mind, your body, like everything. And so 0:17:20.040 --> 0:17:22.320 how did you get passionate about this and learning about this? 0:17:23.440 --> 0:17:25.480 It's just something that I've studied for a long time 0:17:25.640 --> 0:17:28.520 and I've been interested in it for probably ten years 0:17:28.600 --> 0:17:30.159 or so. And I'm like kind of a nerd, Like 0:17:30.200 --> 0:17:32.760 I'm super nerdy at heart, Like I nerd out on 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.040 the science of it, and like I love UM like 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:40.200 food as therapy, food as medicine like things like that. UM. 0:17:40.280 --> 0:17:43.840 So I read like scholarly articles and stuff like super Dork. 0:17:44.440 --> 0:17:46.919 I love them. So I love to just research it. 0:17:46.960 --> 0:17:49.600 I love to like read new articles and new studies 0:17:49.640 --> 0:17:53.080 and stuff on things are finding. Um, so your business 0:17:53.119 --> 0:17:55.359 just started growing. Yeah, and then all of a sudden, 0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.520 you're getting celebrities because then now you do like Kelsey 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.000 Ballerini and you do. I don't know if you can 0:18:00.000 --> 0:18:02.800 tell everyone you do, but I you do all these 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:06.280 incredible people and you like provide them road meals. Huh yeah. 0:18:06.320 --> 0:18:10.440 So um, and that for me came um honestly, Kelsey. 0:18:10.800 --> 0:18:13.040 Kelsey won't mind that I talked about her, but some 0:18:13.080 --> 0:18:15.240 of them do, some of them don't want to disclose it, 0:18:15.280 --> 0:18:18.600 and some of them don't care. But um, Kelsey, she 0:18:18.640 --> 0:18:20.800 used to live in my building and so we kind 0:18:20.800 --> 0:18:23.320 of got to know each other. And she this was 0:18:23.359 --> 0:18:25.399 when she was just getting her start. She was just 0:18:25.440 --> 0:18:28.640 doing her big like first album push, and I kind 0:18:28.640 --> 0:18:31.840 of saw the way that she was just really I 0:18:31.880 --> 0:18:34.680 mean just a lot. It's really taxing, and like she 0:18:34.880 --> 0:18:38.320 is the most hard working, like precious, like I just 0:18:38.440 --> 0:18:42.399 adore her everything about her, and but it was like 0:18:42.440 --> 0:18:44.560 she was constantly on the road and she was never 0:18:44.600 --> 0:18:47.359 getting a chance to reset, and she was writing, and 0:18:47.400 --> 0:18:49.600 she was I mean, she was a hard worker and 0:18:49.640 --> 0:18:51.560 so she would go out on the road all the 0:18:51.600 --> 0:18:53.280 time and then she'd come home for like two days 0:18:53.400 --> 0:18:54.959 and then she'd be back out and it was like 0:18:55.080 --> 0:18:57.840 during those two days, you know, she lives in this 0:18:57.880 --> 0:19:00.720 apartment by herself, and she has an defridge, and like, 0:19:00.760 --> 0:19:02.160 the last thing you want to do when you get 0:19:02.160 --> 0:19:04.120 home off the road is go to the grocery store 0:19:04.160 --> 0:19:06.240 worried about what am I going to make, or like 0:19:06.280 --> 0:19:08.000 go eat take out again, because that's what you've been 0:19:08.000 --> 0:19:11.800 eating on the road. And so for for me, it 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.720 was like where my heart was, and that was giving 0:19:13.800 --> 0:19:17.919 them a chance to give these artists a chance to 0:19:18.000 --> 0:19:20.120 like reset and have that sense of home when they 0:19:20.119 --> 0:19:23.760
