I started Easeful Evenings in 2021 with my former business partner with the intention to make the lives for others easier. I’ve been managing the business on my own for about 3/4 years. I’ve been in a reevaluation space lately and remembered what my purpose was! I am here to be myself. I remembered that I am “easeful” at my core, and I have to do the work to regulate my emotions and nervous system to stay there. I’ve decided to shift the focus from food to wellness and share with you how I do those things, while being my authentic self.
I come from a chaotic household and I am also the eldest daughter. I grew up as a people pleaser, hard worker, emotional caretaker, etc. I became a chef and carried those traits with me. Restaurants were the same as home- chaotic, unpredictable. But I had control over the food I made, and that was enough to keep me going. Then I transitioned to working at schools which gave me the structure I so desperately needed. With the inner work I’ve been doing in therapy, I’ve been able to restructure my life so that I am supported in all areas. I am more confident, speak up for myself, meet my needs, and establish boundaries. I’m a sous chef at a private school, work at restaurants here and there, cater sometimes. Now I do it all at a pace I’m comfortable at while taking care of myself the best of my ability and with the support of my loved ones when needed. Asking for help was something I never did but I am learning to do more of.
I’ve met so many chefs/nurses/responders, etc. who have faced the same challenges as I have when it comes to struggling with mental health in the workplace. I’m here to show you that you are not alone!
Come join me on this journey of finding your footing on what it means to have an Easeful Evening! Thanks for being here 🫂
