EP 120: LIKE CHEF, LIKE RETAILER

Whether you're a chef or a retailer, self-care can be a difficult concept to grasp at times amid the endless 16 hour work days that are at times your reality. Michelle and Chef Amber sit down to talk about how they've learned to care for themselves while still being bad*sses in their respective careers.

Chef Amber believes in the transformative power of food, both for physical health and emotional well-being. Her culinary journey began after earning a degree in Hotel and Restaurant Management from Auburn University. She honed her skills in Southern Italian cuisine and later became the executive chef at Mediterraneo in Hermosa Beach, California, where she worked for almost a decade.

During her time at Mediterraneo, Chef Amber discovered the healing potential of food, leading her to a personal transformation. This newfound insight drove her to pursue education in food therapy, with a mission to help others change their lives through nourishing meals.

Chef Amber also shares her own journey of overcoming an unhealthy relationship with food, aiming to inspire others with her story. Her focus is on helping women heal their relationships with food and body image through private coaching, bodywork, and cooking classes. She recently released her cookbook, "Sexy Nourishing Food," available online and at her restaurant, The Source Cafe in Hermosa Beach.
