Can we stop celebrating Thanksgiving already?

11/13/2023
In this episode of the Chef Bai Podcast, Bai dives into the inconsistencies around Thanksgiving as a holiday. She points out the irony of how we as a society, celebrate a day of giving thanks, spending time with loved ones and cooking together, based on a history of exploiting indigenous people. When you uncover the layers of what happened to the indigenous people when the pilgrims came overseas years ago, it’s heartbreaking. Even today, some the most poorly funded, poorly supported communities suffering in the United States are indigenous people. Now is a great time to look into your local indigenous communities and see how you can help give support and love. Bai dares "You" the listener to take a moment and see how we as individuals can give back, give thanks, and give a lil love to those in need of it most. Bai suggests a crazy concept. Can we stop celebrating thanksgiving?? We can still gather, still cook together, still spend time with family around this time of year, but have it based purely on that. Gathering around community. At the end of the day it’s not about the turkey, it’s about turning off the noise and being present with friends and family. The “Thanksgiving holiday” is not only poorly associated with the suffering of indigenous people, it’s also associated with the suffering of over 46 million turkeys that get slaughtered each year in the United states for thanksgiving alone. Not to forget that these massive factory farms which execute these horrific deeds, negatively effect the communities living nearby with environmental pollution from animal waste and/or chemicals, and negatively effect the mental health for workers who operate inside and/or around these slaughter houses and factory farms. With all this harm, there has to be a way to bring more compassion into this time of year. What do you think? How does the Thanksgiving holiday make you feel? Leave a comment!

The Holiday Challenge!

11/6/2023
In this episode of the Chef Bai Podcast, Bai wanted to take a moment to stop and offer a new perspective before rushing into this holiday season. Especially in western society, Bai explains how each year, we as a collective go though this cycle of ending the year with guilty pleasures & overindulgence, and then starting each year anew, just to end it the same way again. This cycle of consumerism during the holidays can be hard on a lot of us, especially the next day when we inflict guilt on ourselves and say harsh things about our own bodies. Instead of having guilt because we decided to over consume the day before, Bai challenges you to be kind to yourself. To look at yourself in the mirror, and give yourself positive feedback and affirmations throughout the next two months even when you don't feel like it. She challenges you to be present, and to be aware. To stop and smell the roses and to not punish yourself for enjoying your life. The stress we put on our bodies from negative thoughts can weaken the immune system and be very damaging to the body overall in the long run. Changing the verbiage and instead of criticizing yourself, trying being your own hype person. If you won’t be your own hype person, who will?? Tune in now!

Are we having a baby?!

10/30/2023
In this episode of the Chef Bai Podcast, Bai sits down with her husband, Steve and they finally discuss the burning question that Bai receives almost daily, “Are we having a baby?? “ It’s a very loaded question that has many parts to consider, and throughout the next 20 minutes Bailey and Steve break down the pros and cons of bringing a new life into this world. With so many things like the environment, the political climate, healthcare, child care, etc to take into account, it’s nerve wreaking to make the leap from partner to parent. That said, it seems our generation is slowly moving away from conventional traditions, of getting a career, finding a partner, settling down in the suburbs, and raising a family.... to something different and something new! Bai and Steve challenge the assumption that the next step is always procreation for couples who have been together for an extended amount of time. Rather instead of asking the burning question “are you having a baby?”, to rather ask “what’s next for you two?” Which opens up the conversation in a positive way. It allows for everyone to be seen, heard, and it allows the chance to open up about something that really is important to them, which may or may not be just about kids. Maybe what’s next in the near future are children….but maybe it’s not. Tune in now to find out! Sponsored By: The 14 Day Plant Based Challenge!
