Today’s guest Moksha is a fountain of knowledge. I will say our chat went deep. The food we put into out bodies effects everything. And as a women, hearing Moksha connect the food she was eating and her cycles and how she felt was huge.

I love her food journey. And listening to her speak of food as medicine and fuel really is a great reset for the way I had been looking at food as of late.

She has wonderful cooking videos on Youtube and Facebook, I will link those in the show notes.

Food is the most over used anxiety drug. Exercise is the most underused antidepressant. Care of @kaylabarnes

She has also written a cookbook, called Breakfast and hosted a pop up series called the BreakfastClub. She is passionate about delicious food with awesome ingredients. I loved sitting down with her and talking food.

Welcome to Food Is Culture | A Podcast

Sorry I’ve been MIA. It’s been a busy couple weeks with some family things going on and I had to take a few things off my plate in the short term. Unfortunately one of them was releasing podcasts episodes. However, I have been recording and interviewing some awesome guests and I’m excited for the up coming weeks to release the backlog of episodes I’ve recorded. I think I’ll be switching to bi-weekly release dates for the next few weeks while I catch up on life and work and family. But not to worry, there is a lot of great stuff in the episodes to chew on.

Today’s episode has a cornucopia of information. Brenden Kumarasamy is a Public Speaking Coach and gives some awesome tips for improving your public speaking and party banter. He has some great Youtube videos and is a fantastic resource for you if public speaking is something you would like to work on. His information is below.

Cheers!

When was the last time you had a fine dining experience? I must say it’s been a lifetime for me, literally my daughter’s lifetime. I think the last wonderful fine dining experience I had was when I was pregnant with her and my husband and I celebrated our 5th wedding anniversary. A lifetime and a pandi ago.

So, I was beyond excited to sit down with Brad Weesner from Forshew Interior Design and speak on all things fine dining. And the social lubricant that keeps society moving: manners. The ribbon of this episode is dining etiquette… but I could have spoken to Brad all day. Growing up in DC sounds so fascinating. And the way he speaks of the times and accompanying his mom shopping makes me wistful for a time I didn’t experience.

Today’s episode couldn’t be better timed. If you’ve started Thanksgiving dinner planning this episode is for you!

I sit down with Anika from Stiletto Events and she gives her breakdown for hosting a wonderful intimate well thought-out detail oriented at home event. With an emphasis on Thanksgiving. Her tip for making your Thanksgiving Dinner stand out from a weekend of turkey dinners literally blew my mind.

As you’ll hear Anika’s love of a well hosted party started at a young age. And has grown into a wonderful career and company.

As we start to open up our homes to friends and family again - hosting a party may seem a little daunting. But Anika has broken it down so beautifully, I can’t wait to uncork the wine, start the music, and welcome the guests.

Today’s guest is a cornucopia of information. A true full wellness advocate and is passionate about root cause medicine.

Sarah Murphy is a certified nutritional practitioner and a clinical herbalist with an extensive background. She has studied many healing modalities including Traditional Chinese Medicine, Ayurvedic Medicine, Toxicology and Detoxification, Environmental medicine, Mind Body work, trauma healing and the Polyvagal theory.

We touch on a lot in this episode and she has some absolute fantastic steps you can start taking immediately to improve your overall health.

This is a must listen. I had so many ah-ha moments speaking with her today.

Sarah and I have known each other socially for just over a decade. But have never really chatted like this before.

I loved sitting down with her and getting to know more about her and how she’s helping her clients uncover the healthy vibrant people they are.

And before we sat down I didn’t realize how similar our households were growing up.

If you’re from Toronto you undoubtably know Noah’s Natural Foods stores. I remember shopping weekly there with my mom. Well Sarah’s family owned Noah’s up until somewhat recently.

For those of you who don’t know Noah’s, it is a health food store that sells vitamins, supplements, natural health foods and grocery items.

In the 90’s it was uncommon to snack on nori, eat quinoa, or kamut pasta, or drink almond milk. But that was both the way we both grew up. And let me tell you the early packaged almond milk from our childhood is not the yummy creamy almond milk of today.

It was so nice to connect with someone that had a similar experience to me growing up and we talk about culture a bit.

I hope you’ll enjoy this episode.

Cheers!

I’m so excited for you to hear the wonderful stories of today’s guests. I stumbled upon the Instagram of The Table of Us a few months ago. Simone and Dan had just launched their cook book by the same name. The videos and photos are absolutely beautiful. And the IG stories of Simone making fresh home made pasta are heavenly. I will admit I’ve been thinking of pulling out my pasta attachment for my KitchenAid after ogling her page and especially after this chat.

Simone shares the most lovely stories of her Nonnina and the wonderful cooking she grew up enjoying. I loved hearing Dan’s stories of his food journey as well.

And how they’ve created their own food traditions, part out of necessity as you’ll hear from their the moving day dinner, and out of their shared loved of food and wanting to preserve and celebrate their Italian heritage with their children.
