In this heartfelt conversation, Alex Snodgrass, founder of The Defined Dish and bestselling cookbook author, opens up about what success truly means beyond the metrics of social media followers and book sales. From her surprising transition out of real estate to finding her purpose through food blogging, Alex shares how she built a thriving business while staying true to her core values. She candidly discusses the challenges of balancing motherhood with entrepreneurship, the importance of setting boundaries in the digital age, and her decision to step back from lucrative opportunities to preserve authenticity. Most compelling is her perspective on food as more than just sustenance – it's about creating memories, fostering connections, and maintaining traditions. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, home cook, or someone seeking to find balance in their own life, Alex's journey reminds us that true success is measured by the moments shared around the dinner table, not just the numbers on a spreadsheet.
