What if the kitchen could be more than a place to prepare meals—what if it could be a space for alchemy, healing, and connection?

In this tender and unfiltered conversation, I sit down with Georgie Soskin, a seasoned cooking professional, mum, and dog mum, on a mission to connect people back to their magic - through cooking. Georgie and I explore the magic that happens when we approach cooking with presence. Together, we unravel the myths of “perfect” holistic living, soften the grip of the shoulds, and remember that nourishment is so much more than the nutrients on a plate.

This episode is an invitation to:

• See cooking as ceremony—a daily moment to connect with yourself, your dog, and the earth.
• Shift from feeding to true nourishment that softens, steadies, and restores.
• Let go of comparison and the false ideals we see online.
• Find empowerment and confidence in the kitchen without perfectionism.
• Embrace the rhythms and seasons—both in sourdough and in life.
• Discover simple, grounding ways to always create delicious, health-giving meals.
• Honour your own “levels” when it comes to food and self-care.

Georgie shares her own journey with her dog Teddy, her family, and her relationship with food—offering a perspective that is as practical as it is soulful. This is for anyone who’s ever felt the tension between wanting to “get it right” and wanting to feel free.

Cooking, it turns out, is not just about what’s on the plate. It’s about how we show up, the energy we bring, and the love we infuse into every bite.
