Ep 1 How to Easily Create Healthy Recipe & Food Choices with Recipe Developer Dominique Sullivan from Perchance to Cook blog
04/25/23 • 28 min
Welcome to the TeleWellness Hub Podcast!
Today I’m talking with Dominique Sullivan. Dominique runs the wonderful food blog PerChance to Cook, which contains hundreds of healthy clean recipes for a delicious life.
Growing up with a European mom, Dominique was always aware that foods in the U.S. often have more processed ingredients than in many other countries. Later, her husband began to face some autoimmune issues, so they decided to dive in to eating clean as a couple and family.
The decision to focus on healthy eating choices as a part of their health and wellness journey made them both feel better and now Dominique shares her healthy recipes (and beautiful food photos) with the world. Today’s episode contains many helpful tips on where to start if you’re looking to eat clean, and even how to clean up your make up and household ingredients over time.
Many healthy recipes have complicated substitutions or expensive flour combinations in them that can make healthy eating an overwhelming process. But now with four kids and years of recipe-inventing experience, Dominique’s ability to create beautifully simple, clean recipes makes her such a helpful asset to all of us by making healthy eating easy and approachable.
We chat about what organic produce to prioritize, how to cut down on sugar, what it means to eat Paleo, food prepping and utilizing leftovers.
Dominique also reminds us to live a little, explaining why indulging in whole-food-based deserts can be important in a balanced life, and a well-adjusted family.
Today’s episode is a good reminder that we can all cut down on unhealthy, unnecessary chemicals and additives in our daily lives. Dominique shares how to utilize the info on the Environmental Working Group’s research to make the changes that will move the needle the most.
We touch on some examples of ways we can “vote with our money” as consumers, which will influence food and product manufacturers to make natural health important in their future products.

Coping with Anxiety and Thriving as a Couple with Wellness Expert Ashley Williams
Welcome back to the Telewellness Hub podcast! Today we hear from Ashley Williams, Founder and Clinical Director of Cardinal Hope Mental Health Counseling Services. Ashley specializes in working with individuals who have experienced anxiety, as well as couples that anxiety has effected.
She’s a licensed and board certified Mental Health Counselor and LPC. She received her bachelor’s from Morrisville State College, and her master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with an Interdisciplinary Trauma Studies Certification from the State University of New York at Oswego.
Ashley helps her clients quiet the noise of anxious thoughts and often sees results in the areas of more peaceful sleep, and improved communication in relationships. She uses CBT and Gottman Therapy in many of her sessions.
As Ashley began to describe the unique challenges that some of her clients tended to face during the pandemic, and during political unrest, two important questions emerged: how did she make sure she took care of herself while helping others, and what unique considerations might people of color and clients in minority or marginalized groups need?
Ashley shared some great insight about self-care as a therapist, including tuning in to what comes up for her, addressing any anxiety she might be carrying, utilizing resources like a network of therapists she can check in with, and taking moments to rest and unwind. She reads and meditates (but also watches reality TV which we all know is part of the self-care toolbox too).
She stresses the importance of acknowledging and validating her client’s concerns and anxieties when they’re related to social justice and legislation. Ashley also shares how she refrains from being “the expert,” even with clients who share similar cultural or ethnic backgrounds, because every individual has varied experiences in life.
When seeing couples, Ashley initially speaks with them together, but makes sure to spend time with each person individually, to make sure there is space to share openly with her.
We also talk about the importance of breathing, and how she coaches her clients to incorporate breathing and mindfulness into their lives. She also helps her clients find ways to journal or voice memo their feelings and experiences in order to release.
I loved how she described the thought exercise of imagining the worst thing that could happen. This can often disarm worry, and help us realize that we might just be able to handle whatever is ahead after all.
Anxiety is an individualized journey with varying triggers, so I know Ashley’s listening skills and breadth of insight about the topic are an asset to her myriad of clients.
