Nourish, by definition, means to sustain with food or nutriment; supply with what is necessary for life, health, and growth. Nourishing the mind, body, and soul is so important for living a happy, healthy, abundant life. In this episode, Dr. Tarryn MacCarthy is joined by cooking connoisseur and the Founder of Ladies of the Kitchen, Maria DeRosa. She shares her experience of stress and unhealthiness that pushed her to make a change for herself and for other people who seek the same change she did all those years ago.
Maria started her career as a high school Spanish teacher and, as a food lover, transitioned into a restauranteur with her own cafe and catering company for over 28 years. During this time, she also served on a Restaurant Advisory Committee supporting teachers and trainers in the culinary field. After a successful career in both industries, she offers her talents to provide a safe community where women use the art of cooking to heal soul wounds. This is done by using all 5 senses with simple hands-on recipes.
Maria is a Speaker in the Addiction Recovery Field and has been Certified as a Law of Attraction Life Coach as well as a Certified Nutrition and Health Coach. In 2004 she was awarded Business Woman of the Year for her educational work in developing the Irwindale Library Foundation.
She is the author of Seasons of Baking and has been featured in her community paper, and volunteers regularly in two 12-step recovery programs. Her mission today is: to create healing mealtime moments around the table so that one replaces deep vulnerabilities with a belly full of spiritual joy.
