Connecting with people comes naturally, and I’m often the one who can lift others’ spirits. This curiosity and connection have guided me through many chapters in my life and ultimately led me to write Yucky Yummy Savory Sweet: Understanding the Flavors of Emotions.Life’s challenges taught me the importance of understanding my emotions, and as I worked through painful experiences. This journey inspired Yucky Yummy Savory Sweet, a book that makes the complex world of emotions more relatable by comparing them to something we all know—food.
