In today’s episode, we sit down with Jennifer Relph, a home baker, mom of four, and former cottage food business owner behind Selah Sweets.

Jen shares how baking became a form of therapy during a challenging season of life and why time in the kitchen helped quiet her mind, focus her energy, and reconnect with joy. We talk about building a home-based bakery from scratch, navigating cottage food laws, managing holiday volume from a home kitchen, and donating a portion of sales to local nonprofits. Along the way, she opens up about burnout, mental health, and the realities of balancing family life with entrepreneurship.

Join us for a heartfelt conversation about why baking is more than just food, how giving to others became part of the healing process, and what it really takes to turn a home kitchen into a place of purpose.

In today’s episode, we welcome back Kevin Boehm, James Beard Award-winning restaurateur, co-founder of Boka Restaurant Group, and author of The Bottomless Cup.

Kevin reflects on a childhood shaped by instability and the unlikely refuge he found in restaurants. He shares how hospitality gave him structure, purpose, and a way to build the kind of spaces he was searching for himself. Kevin talks about writing his memoir, the response it has sparked, and why telling the truth about his life has opened honest conversations around mental health, identity, and service. Along the way, he offers candid insight into leadership, failure, and what it really means to make people feel seen.

Join us as Kevin explores why hospitality goes far beyond the dining room, and how caring for others ultimately helped him reclaim his own sense of self.

In today’s episode, we chat with Jen and Michael Caines, the husband-and-wife team behind Moksha Chocolate, a bean-to-bar craft chocolate company based in Boulder, Colorado.

Jen and Michael take us inside their world of small-batch chocolate making, from sourcing transparently traded cacao and understanding terroir to roasting, winnowing, grinding, and tempering with meticulous care. They share the unexpected path that led them from education, horticulture, and engineering to running a thriving chocolate company, as well as the challenges and joys of building a business together. They also explore the science of cacao, the rise of ceremonial chocolate, the benefits of functional mushrooms, and the tasting rituals that help people appreciate chocolate as a fine food rather than candy.

Join us as Jen and Michael show why artisan chocolate deserves to be savored and valued, reminding us that great chocolate is crafted with intention.
