My love story with food: part 1

Welcome to Gaia Wellness, This is the first episode where I share my story with food. Today, I am inspired to share part of my story with food. It’s a beautiful love story. Like any love story, it encompasses love, respect, admiration, communication, care, and nourishment. However, it also involves betrayal, shame, loneliness, anger, and disappointment. Every story is unique, but I feel that my relationship with food is not only personal; it has become my best friend. While many young kids have imaginary friends, I had cooking and food. Through them, I felt seen, loved, cared for, important, and powerful. I truly experienced the world! I always say, if life could be as easy as food is, I would be able to accomplish amazing things. Three things ground me: journaling, cooking, and photography. These three passions anchor me during both calm and stormy times. I discovered them during some of my most difficult nights. More to come soon, I hope you enjoy it! Iliana Lanuza
