Description

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2509174/fan_mail/new] In this episode, I sit down with my friend Chef Odie (formerly known as Edgar Castrejón, author of Provecho) for a deeply honest conversation about how growing up in a Mexican American household shaped who we are today. We open up about our childhood experiences with poverty, the emotional connection to Mexican comfort food, and how those early years influenced our relationship with nutrition, success, and work. If you’ve ever struggled with rest, productivity, or your relationship with food, this conversation will resonate. Stay connected with me!
