In this inaugural episode, co-hosts Sue S. Chan and Sara Solomon discuss the circumstances and experiences that inspired this show. They open up about their own struggles with mental health, how they got to where they are today, and discuss subjects like anxiety, codependency, shame and trauma. They begin unpacking unconscious drives, tackling questions like: Does the chaos of running a restaurant attract individuals already predisposed to mental illness? What is the true meaning of ego and how is that at play in the kitchen and beyond? Is shame a greater motivator than self-worth? With vulnerability and candor, Sara and Sue touch on several topics to be covered throughout this series, and begin to introduce helpful tools and frameworks, reminding us that we are not alone.
