This week’s episode is with Sally Pasley Vargas, a Chef, Writer & Photographer whose creative career spans 5 decades. 
A multi-talented creative, Sally currently works as a cooking teacher, coach, photographer, recipe developer, and personal chef, and writes a weekly recipe column for The Boston Globe.
Together we reflect back on Sally’s career journey and dive into the wisdom she acquired along the way.
After losing her father as a teenager, then training as a teacher, but with limited career options available to women in the early 1970’s, Sally decided to opt out and join an ashram & build her internal muscles instead.
Sally launched her culinary career as a line cook at Rudi’s Big Indian Restaurant near Woodstock, New York. Her country neighbor at the time, Chef Eugene Bernard, frequently visited the kitchen to advise and mentor the cooks, and eventually arranged for Vargas to intern with pastry chef Albert Kumin at the Culinary Institute in Hyde Park, NY.
This move would become the beginning of her culinary career, which eventually led to becoming the author of 4 published cookbooks: Food for Friends, The Tao of Cooking, The Cranberry Cookbook & The Blueberry Cookbook.

At the start of the year I celebrated my 50th birthday with an epic trip to Colombia, but if the truth be told a part of me didn’t want to commemorate this landmark birthday, because it felt like a mismatch.
I didn’t feel 50
I wasn’t excited about turning 50
It felt like a badly fitting suit, one that didn’t suit me
One that I didn’t want to wear.
One that I wasn’t ready to wear.
I was called to be both accepting of this new chapter of my life, hitting 50, and at the same time questioning it, challenging it.
And so I stayed with the discomfort, I stayed with the questions, I stayed in the unknown.
In this solo episode I share with you the process I went through, and the powerful questions I am asking myself at this life stage.
If you are in your 40’s or beyond, I think you will find this a powerful  & thought provoking episode.

This week I interview Susana Ferreres, the co-founder of my all time favourite drink: Umyko Kombucha, an artisan kombucha hand made in Ibiza. 
Susana, a psychologist & gerontologist, founded Umyko Kombucha in 2019 with her husband Milko, following an inner calling, and is currently doing research on the gut brain connection, psychobiotics, and linking her 30 years of psychological experience with the wisdom of kombucha.
 Kombucha is a whole body-mind experience and has super powers for your gut microbiome. Umyko set out to make the very best kombucha through sourcing the world’s best teas, and an artisan fermentation process, and embracing the organic flow of nature. 
The connection between the body and mind has been a theme throughout Susana’s life's work & in this fascinating episode, we dive into how she founded the company, addressed the challenges of creating & bringing an artisan product to market, and what goes into creating the best possible product.
