b"\\u201cI mean, nourishing is truly, honestly, it is, it is, uh, an activism. It is it, the, the minute you are nourished the decisions you make versus when you weren't nourished, they're gonna be really different the way you react to your kids. How we parent, how we are in our, our partnerships or our work. It's like when we're nourished, it's like another, another part of us is being like our truest part, like who we truly are. And so if we can all be a little closer to that, like that, that's the activism I'm tending. You know, it's like that's, that, that really is, that's an advocacy for a culture that's really hungry. A world that really needs us to care for ourselves. It's not just an i it really is a, we, it's a we movement.\\u201d\\nSo says Jules Blaine Davis, otherwise known as The Kitchen Healer. I met Jules nearly a decade ago, after hearing rumors about this miraculously woman who lived on the other side of Los Angeles: I was told that she could restore a desire to cook, for one. But that her work was actually much deeper than that: That she probed long-held stories we hold about ourselves when it comes to our appetites and their validity, as well as whether we believe we deserve to be nourished. I spent an afternoon with her\\u2014walking around her backyard barefoot and telling her about my relationship with food\\u2014and left her house deepened, newly dedicated to turning on the fire in my own house, and reclaiming the kitchen as a place where I could be\\u2014not as a zone where there was more for me to do.\\n\\nMORE FROM JULES BLAINE DAVIS:\\t\\nThe Kitchen Healer: The Journey to Becoming You\\nFollow Jules on Instagram\\nJules\\u2019s Website\\n \\nTo learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy\\n \\n Learn more about your ad choices.
