With the launch of her cooking blog in 2017, Just Add Hot Sauce, Alex Hill set out to build a platform based on her love of food, fun, friendship, and spice! Her down to earth, relatable approach to culinary creating garnered her a show on Tastemade, Spice Spice Baby, which debuted in 2023.
Since then, Alex launched her popular newsletter on Substack, Food and Feelings, and has been featured on the Coca-Cola Kickback Stage at 2024's EssenceFest in New Orleans, preparing some of her favorite recipes for a live audience. She is currently starting the process of writing her first cookbook which will undoubtedly teach people how to get spicy at home, recently selling out the initial offering of her new, in-person cooking class in LA!
This week, Kahja and Alex talk about learning how to cook with simplicity and ease, recognizing overwhelm as a sign to make changes and bet on yourself, striking a balance between manifesting your dreams and doing the work, the invaluable nature of friendships, discerning between your purpose and your assignment, and the beauty of holding space for yourself to expand.
Recorded on location in West Hollywood, CA.
