Chicken Sh*t Casserole & Suspending Your Ego - Jamie Lynch (Executive Chef, Chef Partner, Top Chef Alum)

CW: substance abuse, overdose
Don't you want to know how Chef Jamie Lynch got started in the industry (even when he was a picky eater as a kid!) and how he handled the pressure of being on Top Chef?! He gives us lots of insight into this and thoughts on cooking being tied to self worth.
Jamie talks with us about being an angsty youth, not learning to communicate about his feelings, and toxic masculinity (in a household of 3 boys)! We talk about his strained relationship with his mom until recent years. You'll be inspired by his openness about the beauty of having honest dialogue as an adult to help with context and healing.
Crazy question time includes revealing the meanings behind some of his tattoos and sharing what restaurant he'd love to go and with whom!
Therapy highlight: anger as primary/secondary emotion, when a pattern of anger shows up particularly for a kid, & how to increase our emotional intelligence.
