Have you ever been in a period of life where normal, everyday
responsibilities feel overwhelming? Where even getting out of bed in the
morning is a feat, let alone making a meal for yourself and your family?
If so, this book is for you.
This might be a time of break-up, loss, when you're caring for a sick
loved one, or simply when a confluence of life factors that make you
feel like you're paddling to stay above water. For Chef Laura Lea, this
debilitating season showed up unwelcomely after going through divorce in
2018.
Five years into her business as a holistic chef, she was under daily
pressure to display healthy routines and keep up appearances. But
reality left her with no appetite and lacking the motivation to even
step into the kitchen.
In attempt to cope she found herself relying on fast-food, junky snacks,
and lots of wine. Ultimately these choices hindered the process of
healing from divorce. Instead, they contributed to her overall feelings
of sadness, self-loathing, and exhaustion. She needed a way out.
Drawing upon her decade in the wellness industry and exploration into
the science of grief, Laura Lea began cooking her way through the fog.
In Recipes for an Aching Heart, Laura Lea presents the recipes she
created, as well as the lifestyle and fitness choices that aided her on
her journey out of heartache. By following Laura Lea's story, simple
recipes, and advice, you can navigate your own way out of heartache and
into a healthier place than ever before.
