About this episode
What if cooking could feel less like a chore and more like an act of care? In this episode, culinary educator and cookbook author Nicki Sizemore shares how mindfulness transformed her relationship with food, cooking, and herself. We talk about slowing down in the kitchen, using simple rituals to bring presence to everyday meals, and why perfection isn’t the goal - connection is. If feeding your family often feels rushed or stressful, this conversation offers a gentler, more intentional way forward.Links Discussed in This Episode |Diane's Resource: App - Gratitude Plus JournalCheckout the podcast storefront for recommendations from Diane.Nicki's Resource: The Creative Act by Rick RubinConnect with Nickl:WebsiteInstagramSubstackPodcastBook: Mind, Body, Spirit, Food: Adaptable Recipes and Grounding Meditations for Preparing Meals with Joy and IntentionAbout Nicki |Nicki Sizemore combines over two decades of experience as a recipe developer, culinary educator and cookbook author with a passion for inner connection and personal growth to help her readers nourish their bodies, minds, and spirits.
