Service industry workers suffer from a higher rate of mental health issues, higher addiction issues, almost all of us experience on the job stress, and many of us are pushed to a breaking point. We sit down with Jasmin Parks-Papadopoulos from CHOW (Culinary Hospitality Outreach Wellness) about the causes of these issues, changes that we can make to better take care of each other in our industry, and the incredible work their organization is doing to shift the service industry culture.

Late nights, weird hours, and way too many post-shift drinks—welcome to service industry life. In this episode we swap stories about staying up till sunrise, call B.S. on “secret menus,” confess some behind-the-bar shortcuts, and ask the big question: what the hell is a foodie, anyway?

In this episode, we dive into pressing issues surrounding immigration and community justice with Laura Lunn Director of Advocacy and Litigation from the Rocky Mountain Immigrant Advocacy Network. We explore the vital role immigrants play in our economy, the challenges they face due to current immigration policies, and ways we—especially those in the service industry—can be allies. From navigating the complexities of detention systems to understanding how to support friends, coworkers, and loved ones, this conversation sheds light on the resilience of immigrant communities and the importance of advocacy, awareness, and empathy. Whether you're an industry professional, community member, or just curious about immigration rights, this episode offers insights and actionable steps to foster a more inclusive, supportive environment for all.
