The 5 Senses With Chef Toya

The 5 Senses With Chef Toya

By Chef Toya

I’m a Chef, motivational speaker, wife and mother of 4. When teaching cooking classes, I always mention the 5 senses. It’s the 5 senses that makes the difference between a novice & veteran cook. Using their nose and eyes as a timer,listening to hear if it’s a sizzle or sticking at the bottom of the pot sound and feeling if it’s tender. It’s the same thing with life. In this podcast I will help you use the senses that we were gifted to know before that small percentage of verbal communication confirms what we know deep down, the truth. Let’s grow together!

What Silent Conversations Do You Have With Yourself About Your Goals That Haven’t Came To Life Yet?

What Silent Conversations Do You Have With Yourself About Your Goals That Haven’t Came To Life Yet?

This episode was birthed out of a conversation that was having with my business partner/ Husband Christopher Boudy about the silent conversations that haunt us concerning our goals and how those things can lead to discontentment if left unaddressed. Christopher is a Web Designer, Film maker and Fatherhood coach. He shares his some of his struggles he’s had to iron out on this journey so far. The ugliest conversations that happen when no one’s around. We talk about looking those goals that haven’t been achieved directly in the eye and really talk about why it didn’t happen YET. It’s a good candid conversation that I hope makes you feel seen and not alone on this walk. ***** Christopher Boudy also has a podcast called “Becoming A Great Dad” on all platforms. Trust me it’s worth a listen for a fresh perspective or parenting, understanding your father and maybe even your husband. You’ll enjoy it trust me!
