She pulled back the curtain on what goes down in a writers room (she was on staff for Perfect Harmony), how being the oldest in her family shaped her, and the importance of having faith in yourself even if you don't feel "ready yet or qualified enough". Grasie also discussed the importance of representation on and off screen and how that preps the future generations for believing in themselves. </p> <p><a href="http://www.immigrantkitchens.com/recipe-archive/dominican-rice-and-beans">GRASIE'S MOM'S DOMINICAN RICE AND BEANS</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/family_meal_podcast/">FOLLOW FAMILY MEAL</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/irishfrecklegirl/">FOLLOW NATALIE </a></p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p>

Of course we covered her time on Broadway and being an actor in a new production, as was her case in The Cher Show.

Emily Fedner of @foodloversdiary
<p>On this episode of Family Meal, I sat down with Emily Fedner of <a href="https://www.instagram.com/foodloversdiary/">@foodloversdiary</a> and we dished about way more than food. Of course we covered her Babushka's famous vareniki and her early days where her love of food was formed, but as usual we dove much deeper. Emily opened up about her struggle to find a career in food that was not only meaningful, but fulfilling, how her her days as a line cook forever changed her, and how it's not been as easy of a road as instagram may show. She's an open book and touches on why mental health needs to be addressed more in the industry, and why we need to be giving back to the undocumented workers of the US. She even developed an e-cookbook that donates a portion of its proceeds to the NY based Undocu Workers Fund. Listen along if you need some uplift, are thinking of changing careers, and want to fuel your appetite! </p> <p><a href="https://emilyfedner.com/pasta/">PURCHASE PASTA LOVERS DIARY HERE</a> 15% of sales benefit the Undocu Workers Fund</p> <p><a href="https://emilyfedner.com/babushka-podcast/about-babushka-podcast">RECIPE FOR VARENIKI HERE</a></p> <p><a href="https://emilyfedner.com/babushka-podcast">CHECK OUT EMILY'S PODCAST HERE</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/family_meal_podcast/">FOLLOW FAMILY MEAL</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.instagram.com/irishfrecklegirl/">FOLLOW NATALIE </a></p>
