Your Weekly Dose of Chaos, Crunchy Wisdom & Culinary Genius
Serving Up Sass, Snacks & Self-Discovery (The Slightly Unhinged Edition)
Hey there,
Welcome back to your favorite weekly pit stop for real food, real talk, and real transformation. I’ve brewed the coffee (okay, mocktail), stirred the sauce, and cracked open my brain vault to bring you another batch of curated chaos—with zero fluff, all flavor.
Gone are the days of me hoarding ideas like a dragon guarding ancestral sourdough starter. I’m sharing it all here: the recipes that fuel your soul, the reads that make you think (and side-eye the food system), and for my paid subscribers… the raw, real healing work in the Who the Fuck Am I? challenge.
If you’re just lurking and haven’t subscribed yet—what are you waiting for? Trust me, this is the crunchy chaos you do want in your inbox every week.
So grab your notebook, your herbal tea (or wine—I see you), and let’s dive in.
🍽️ This Week’s Recipe
Antipasto Salad
All the bold, briny, tangy flavors you love from a charcuterie board—tossed into one gorgeous, fork-ready bowl. This isn’t just a salad; it’s a flavor explosion that works as a side, main, or meal-prep superstar.
Think marinated veggies, creamy cheese, hearty proteins, and a zesty dressing that ties it all together. Perfect for those nights when you want something fresh, filling, and just a little bit fancy without the fuss.

Unmasking 101: Stop Performing, Start Thriving
You can’t heal in a costume. This week, we’re talking about the masks we wear—perfectionism, people-pleasing, “I’m fine”-ing our way through life—and what happens when we finally take them off. It’s not about being reckless or oversharing; it’s about creating a life you don’t have to perform for.
We’ll unpack why you started masking in the first place, how it’s quietly draining your energy, and small, doable ways to show up as your unfiltered self—without feeling like the whole world is watching.

Who the Fuck Am I? Workbook Challenge – Chapter 5: Trauma, Triggers, and Trying Again
This week, we’re stepping into the hard stuff—where old wounds meet present reactions. We’re looking at the moments, memories, and patterns that shaped us… and how they still sneak into our choices today.
We’ll break down what a trigger really is (spoiler: it’s not just “overreacting”) and how to recognize when you’re being pulled into old survival mode. Then we’ll explore how to gently shift those patterns, give yourself the compassion you’ve been missing, and find the courage to try again—even when it’s scary.
Expect deep journal work, embodied exercises, and some raw self-reflection. This isn’t about erasing the past. It’s about owning your story and learning how to keep moving forward without abandoning yourself.
🖊️ Reminder: You’ll need a notebook or digital journal to track your breakthroughs.
