We thought this episode would be great for the holiday season. Shelley discusses how to balance mindful eating, and enjoy the holiday food without all of the guilt and overindulgence. We also know this holiday may not be the same as it has been in years past for many of our listeners. We hope this episode gives you some bit of relief from the chaos and heartache of 2020.
"I’m a Compassionate Carnivore, Mindful Eater, and Conscious Chef who cooks and eats a high plant-based diet … and shares it with you.
When I’m not teaching, filming, or cooking, I’m dancing to a mix of Kompas, Salsa, Soca, Reggae, Afrobeat, and Kizomba. Eating something dope, divine, and delicious. Spending time in nature. Enjoying art. Learning a new skill.
I’m a Spelman woman, it was there that I began to explore healthier eating options and deal with my emotional eating and body issues.
I’m a Harvard graduate, it was there that I earned my Master’s in Education and decided to become an educator. After graduating, I taught Spanish for five years but the classroom wasn’t really my jam. In 2009, I found my true calling teaching in the kitchen and on camera.
What do I teach?
I teach mindful eating and plant-based nutrition.
While I won’t condemn bacon nor ice-cream, I will share the consequences of eating them and provide you with a delicious alternative.
I teach people how to eat a satisfying and nourishing plant-based diet on my YouTube Channel.
When it comes to making changes to your diet, medical warnings aren’t always enough. Sometimes you just need that perfect plant-based substitute for cheese or some other ingredient before you make the commitment. I got you.
I teach you how to lose weight without the gym, instead of working out, we work in.
I went from a size 12 to a size 2 in one year. When it comes to changing your habits and bettering your health, you have to get rid of the toxins and junk. In my workshops, you learn how to get rid of toxic food, behaviors, thoughts, actions, and relationships for a total shift in wellness and health."
