We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Vanessa Lee a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.
Vanessa, thanks for joining us, excited to have you contributing your stories and insights. If you had a defining moment that you feel really changed the trajectory of your career, we’d love to hear the story and details.
I had been battling with weight my whole life and never realized what had to be done was to love myself and my body instead of hating it, I started to do inner work and it al began to shift, I decided to nourish my body with food instead of punishing it without. When lockdown started people reached out to me For help and I decided to do lives and classes to teach people how to eat delicious and healthy but also to share the road I had taken towards self love. This has brought beautiful fulfilling moments into my life.
Vanessa, love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
I teach coking and well-being online and in person, in group or one on one. Depending on the persons need it can be a special regime or just recipes that are full Of flavor and packed with nutrients but more importantly natural and free of foods that harm our bodies.
Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?
Having standards and living them is super important, showing people that what you stand for is how you live your life. Showing authenticity and caring enough to go out of your way for clients has been important to me and truthfully I couldn’t do it any other way because this is who I am.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
After I started the classes, there were usually 15 to 20 people in the cooking classes and this was super fun and inspiring but when we went through vacation months and there were only 2 or 3 people In class but who really needed the classes, I still showed up as my best self with love and gratitude enthusiasm so those two people would finish the class feeling better about life and themselves than when the class started.
