What is Eat Your Feelings?

Eat Your Feelings (EYF) is built around food, honesty, and showing up for each other.

It began in the form of a cooking show, because the kitchen is familiar. It’s a place where people relax, keep their hands busy, and talk without having to perform.

While we cook, conversations happen. Some are funny. Some are heavy. Most are both.

The cooking show is the foundation.
The work is what EYF is becoming.

Why the Kitchen?

A kitchen is pretty universal.

Your hands are busy. The pressure is off.
Conversations tend to happen without being forced.

We’ve seen it over and over again.
When people cook together, they talk differently.
They listen longer. They sit with things instead of rushing past them.

That’s why EYF started here.

Cast Iron Skillet Therapy

EYF isn’t therapy.
And it isn’t trying to replace it.

But cooking creates space.

Space to slow down.
Space to be honest.
Space to feel something without having to solve it immediately.

We call that cast iron skillet therapy.
Not because it fixes everything.
But because it gives things somewhere to land.

What You’ll Find Here

On Eat Your Feelings, you’ll find:

  • Comfort food that doesn’t pretend to be perfect

  • Conversations that move between humor and hard truth

  • Guests who show up as themselves

  • Stories about grief, stress, resilience, and everyday life

  • A reminder that you’re not the only one carrying things

Some episodes are funny.
Some get heavy.
Most are both.

This space tends to resonate with veterans, first responders, parents, and anyone navigating grief, transition, burnout, or the daily grind.

If that’s you, you’re in the right place.

What EYF is Building

The cooking show is the foundation.
It’s how we show up first.

But EYF isn’t limited to one format.

We’re building a platform for:

  • Content that doesn’t fit neatly into algorithms

  • Conversations that need more than a soundbite

  • Community built around shared experience, not labels

  • Showing up in kitchens, events, partnerships, and places where people already gather

Food connects it all.
The real work happens around it.
