EP 119: The First Mess: Food Blogging & Self Love with Laura Wright

In this episode, I talk with chef Laura Wright about what it takes to create her food blog that showcases seasonal vegan recipes with beautiful photographs and captivating stories. We talk about her experiences growing the business, from learning the best lighting for food photography to development of a newsletter and plans for cooking videos. Author of the visually stunning cookbook, The First Mess, she includes some of her seasonal plant-based recipes originally developed for the blog. We cover her inspiration for creating new recipes, her favorite savory flavors, and her advice to food bloggers and folks wanting to start their own business. We talk about how her business influenced her personal growth and how putting herself out there taught her to love and nourish herself.
