I Want to Change the Way You Cook!

I want to change the way you cook, and here is why:

About 6 years ago, I was struggling with my job as an RN. I had been a Nurse for almost 25 years at that point and I felt like I didn’t know what my purpose was anymore.  I listened to a Ted Talk given by Adam Leipzig on how to find your purpose in 5 minutes.  By answering the 5 questions Adam asked, I was able to articulate that my purpose is to connect people with God/Source through food.  
 
Here are my answers to the 5 questions Adam asked:

1. Who are you? Maile Andrus-Price.
2. What do you do? - what are you best at?  Infusing love into delicious meals.
3. Who do you do it for (give an example) I do it for my friends, family, and neighbors.
4. What do those people want or need? - Why do people come to you for that thing you do? They need to be nourished physically and spiritually and know that they are loved.
5. What do those people get out of it? Sustenance, joy and peace.

This is how the idea of Finding God in Gourmet was born, and it has become my Life’s Work.
It took several years for me to build the courage to take the leap of faith and retire early. There were bills to pay, a daughter to put through college, and needed medical insurance. I left a lot of money and security on the table by retiring at 61, but I could no longer ignore the gnawing feeling that there had to be more to life than this!

It’s been one and a half years since I left my well-paying job. It hasn’t been easy building the foundation of my Life’s Work.  But oh man, has it been liberating! I still have so far to go, so much to learn about how to best get my message out so I can provide sustenance and peace to as many people as possible. I will do this work for the rest of my days because it brings me joy, because the world is in need of it, because we can all experience what it’s like to be a “Spiritual Foodie” by cooking with Source.

I can’t cook for everyone on the planet, but I can teach people how to obtain sustenance and peace using the cooking methods and messages in Finding God in Gourmet.  To be clear, this is not religious. You can substitute God with Source, Spirit, Self, Universe - whatever feels right to you. I have a 10 minute video on YouTube describing what it is and what it is not. Check it out.

Here is a more complete statement of my purpose:  to connect people with God/Source through food by sharing ways to experience gratitude and find peace while cooking, because it brings joy, sustenance and peace.  Why don't you answer the 5 questions above and see what comes to you?

If becoming a Spiritual Foodies interests you, please help me by spreading the word, sharing my website, subscribing to my YouTube Channel and Social Media venues.  Do you know anyone in TV, Radio, or News that you could introduce me to?  I would be delighted to have you and or them come over for dinner to experience my food, and IT IS AN EXPERIENCE.  I look forward to hearing from you.

With much gratitude and aloha,
Maile
