Thanks ShoutOut ATL for the Interview

When we’re living our day to day lives and just trying to meet those deadlines, finish that to-do list, feed these kids, it’s easy to look up and not even realize how much time has passed. 

That’s especially the case this past year...or 18 months in my case. 

18 months ago, I had a baby. 

18 months ago, I also got my first piece of mid to major press by being featured in VoyageATL. The interview was done before I had the pint sized boss of course, so when it came out, I was elbow deep in newborn bliss, boo hooing, and bottles. 

Now I’m 18 months later, so much has changed for you and me, and VoyageATL asked me to come back and be featured again in a new series they called Shout Out ATL. It’s an opportunity to check in with local entrepreneurs, follow up and see how far you’ve come, and give a literal shout out to those who have helped you get to where you are. Check out the quick read here. In the interview, I’ll discuss the 

• Why we need to focus on generational health™ 
• The social impact of my business 
• Some of my favorite local eateries

It’s so easy to get caught up in the day to day that we forget or can’t see why we’re doing what we’re doing. The pandemic, increasing social unrest, digital learning, and working from home all have us more exhausted than we realize. I’ve had to take more breaks than I intended to, but it’s important to take care of ourselves on a daily basis. A lot of that starts with food.  

Non negotiables I use to practice self care around food

• Order groceries online for delivery/pick up
• Only cooking 2-3 times during the week
• Ordering take out/pick up on the weekends
• Batching my cooking to have enough for leftovers and make ahead (freezer) meals

In the coming months, I’ll be sharing more strategies to help put your food life on autopilot, because you have so many other things to deal with. Until then, check out the Shout Out ATL feature. And take some time to think about how well you’ve done in the face of the dumpster fire/cluster/(insert your favorite word here) that we’ve been through. I bet you’ll find more wins than losses if you really dig deep.
