"If I would have gone onto Hell’s Kitchen to try to prove myself as one of the best chefs in America, I probably would have got kicked off because I put too much pressure on myself. My mindset instead was realizing that this is all a learning experience: if I make it through only the first day, great. If I win it all, great."
On this episode, I am joined by Emily Hersh, the self-help, plant-based chef out of San Antonio, Texas and contestant on the newest season of Hell’s Kitchen! Emily is working on season 2 of her show The Self-Help Chef and venturing into the restaurant business, using her passion for food as a personal development tool to spread confidence, love, and connection.
We discuss the mindset required to maintain a sense of composure and optimism in extremely stressful environments, what it’s like being mentored by Gordon Ramsay and some of her biggest lessons/takeaways. We do a deep dive into the concept losing happiness and ways to rediscover it, the importance of food as a personal development tool, body positivity and self-image, diet culture, and how to be proud of your struggles!
