This is a very delicious episode with Bettina Campolucci Bordi the founder of Bettina's Kitchen, a food lover, a kitchen goddess, and a dedicated retreat chef.
Not only is Bettina a retreat chef, but her journey into food and nutrition has also taken her to many places and besides her busy Instagram feed and inspiring blog that both feature lots of tasty inspiration she has written two cookbooks. Happy Food - Fast fresh and simple vegan and her second book the 7-day vegan challenge.
Bettina is sharing her wisdom wherever she can so it's no surprise that she has founded the Retreat Chef Academy where she teaches others who would like to become retreat chefs or learn more about plant-based food.
I hope I made you curious and hungry for more.

Jake Sasseville is one of the co-founders of Imiloa Institute, a world-class luxury retreat venue in the Jungle of Costa Rica. Jake and his partners and the team on-site build a truly transformational place.
In his early twenties Jake hosted and produced his own TV show "The Edge with Jake Sasseville" and he started his podcast "The Jake Sasseville Show" already back in 2014 where he interviewed a wide variety of guests from sports, showbiz, best-selling authors and musicians or transformational coaches. Jake has been on his very own transformational journey and I found it remarkable how open he spoke on his podcast about his life challenges. On Imiloas website it says: “Imiloa Institute invites guests to awaken their consciousness by creating the experience of home.”
If you listen to this episode you will hear Jake's story and you will get a sense of how much that is connected to his own story. -
