   If You Identify as Spiritual, but not Religious- This Episode's For You.

   In this solo episode I get a little personal, sharing my faith journey, from a secular Christian upbringing to years of exploring Buddhism, Hinduism, Waldorf education and anthroposophy, and now a return to the tradition I was born into, caveats and all. I also talk about why ritual and reverence aren’t just spiritual concepts. There’s real science behind why humans need them and how daily journaling through the GOLDENTIME Journal (https://store.meaganrosewilson.com/product/goldentime-journal/)has become my most consistent bridge to Spirit or God. If you’ve ever felt spiritually homeless, this one’s for you.

She holds degrees in Physiology and Neuroscience from the University of Colorado at Boulder, and a Master’s in Food Science and Human Nutrition from Colorado State University.

   What if Pleasure was the Missing Ingredient on your Plate?

   If you want to create meals and build plates that feel nutritious but also pleasurable - this is the episode for you. I’m sharing exactly how I approach creating healthy, delicious, macro-balanced meals that feel just as good as they taste — meals that are full of colour, texture, seasonality, and satisfaction. * How to build a balanced plate with ease — the simple framework I use to make meals nourishing, colorful, and satisfying without overcomplicating it. * Shifting meal planning from a chore to a pleasure — ways to bring in color, seasonality, and textures that make cooking feel inspiring. * The 25–30g protein rule — why aiming for this at each meal keeps energy steady and cravings low. * Small habits that make cooking less draining — from prepping ahead to keeping a few “instant flavor” ingredients ready to go. * Making food beautiful — why plating, variety, and mindful eating change how we experience nourishment. Whether you’re making breakfast for yourself, lunch for the kids, or a nourishing dinner everyone will love, these tips will help you build meals that fuel your body, balance your energy, and bring more joy to the table.
