    Aug 16 2025

    n this episode of Truth and Tonic for Women, I sit down with Laura, a personal chef who built her career on faith, grit, and a whole lot of self-belief. Laura admits she had no idea what she was doing when she first set out to become a chef—but instead of letting fear win, she leaned into her faith in herself and in something bigger. Her story takes us from working under someone else’s rules to carving her own path and thriving as a personal chef. This conversation is all about taking risks, betting on yourself, and trusting that your passion can become your profession.
