Your writing about imposter syndrome resonated with me in a big way. Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Similar to you, I've noticed that the voice hasn't quite gone away, but I've gotten better at holding space for the reality that the doubts will show up as I encounter new opportunities and having more ability to trust that I can manage through them.

This is so inspiring!! Currently in culinary school in London and simply petrified for what a career will look like after. Relieved to know I can still burn sh*t :)

I'm going to culinary school this fall and it wasn't until I found you and watched your private chef videos that I realized that's an option!! I've never worked a job before and the idea of working for a household instead of a restaurant gives me hope to find a place I actually not and not just something that pays my bills
