How Tabitha Brown’s Feeding the Soul Will Transform Your Relationship with Food, Joy, and Yourself

There’s something magnetic about Tabitha Brown. Maybe it’s the way she says “That’s your business” with such gentle authority, or how she makes a simple vegan bowl look like the most comforting thing in the world. But Feeding the Soulisn’t just another cookbook or wellness guide. It’s a permission slip to live differently, to choose joy deliberately, and to understand that nourishing yourself goes far beyond what’s on your plate.

I spent weeks with this book, and what struck me most wasn’t the recipes (though they’re brilliant). It was how Tabitha weaves her life story, her struggles, and her triumphs into a philosophy that feels both revolutionary and remarkably simple: feed your soul first, and everything else follows.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about progress, kindness, and the radical act of choosing yourself every single day.

The Heart of Tabitha’s Message

Before we dive into the practical tips, let’s talk about what makes this book different. Tabitha isn’t preaching from a pedestal. She’s sharing from the trenches of real life: marriage struggles, health crises, career pivots, and the messy middle of figuring out who you really are.

Her journey to veganism wasn’t driven by judgement or superiority. It was born from physical necessity when her body was literally shutting down. She developed chronic pain and autoimmune issues that left her unable to function. Doctors suggested dietary changes, and when she reluctantly tried going plant-based, something shifted. Not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually.

What Tabitha discovered is that feeding the soul means listening to your body, honouring your truth, and creating space for joy even when life feels impossible. She learned that food is deeply personal, and what works for her might not work for you. And that’s okay. In fact, that’s the whole point.

The book is divided into chapters that move through different aspects of life: food, faith, relationships, career, and self-care. Each section offers recipes alongside life lessons, creating this beautiful parallel between nourishing your body and nourishing your spirit.

10 Tips and Tricks from Feeding the Soul

1. Start Where You Are, Not Where You Think You Should Be

Tabitha didn’t go vegan overnight, and she’s the first to tell you that you don’t need to either. She started by eliminating dairy, then meat, gradually transitioning over time. The lesson here isn’t about becoming vegan (unless that calls to you). It’s about meeting yourself where you are right now.

How to implement this: Pick one small change that feels manageable. Maybe it’s having one plant-based meal a week, or swapping your afternoon crisps for fruit. Don’t announce it on social media. Don’t make it a big production. Just try it and see how you feel.

Example: Sarah, a reader I spoke with, started by replacing her morning eggs with Tabitha’s tofu scramble once a week. No pressure, no rules. Six months later, she naturally gravitated toward plant-based breakfasts most days because she genuinely felt better. She didn’t force it. She followed her body’s cues.

2. Cook with Love, Not Just Ingredients

One of Tabitha’s most powerful teachings is that the energy you bring to your cooking matters. She talks about speaking affirmations over her food, thanking the ingredients, and cooking from a place of love rather than obligation.

This might sound a bit out there, but think about it: haven’t you tasted the difference between a meal someone rushed through versus one they lovingly prepared? There’s something real there.

How to implement this: Before you start cooking, take three deep breaths. Set an intention. It could be as simple as “I’m making this with love for myself and my family.” Play music that makes you happy. Light a candle. Create a ritual that transforms cooking from a chore into an act of care.

Example: Mark, a busy dad, started playing his favourite jazz playlist while cooking dinner. He noticed his kids responded differently to the food. They lingered at the table longer. They asked questions about the meal. The food hadn’t changed, but the energy around it had.

3. Your “No” is a Complete Sentence

Tabitha is famous for her phrase “That’s your business,” which is essentially a kind way of saying “your opinion of my choices doesn’t require my agreement or explanation.” She applies this to food, career decisions, and life choices.

Learning to say no without guilt, without over-explaining, without justifying yourself is a form of soul care that many of us desperately need.

How to implement this: Practice saying “No, thank you” without the follow-up explanation. When someone offers you food you don’t want, when someone suggests a commitment you can’t take on, when someone questions your choices. Just say no and let the silence do the rest.

Example: Lisa used to spend 10 minutes explaining why she couldn’t attend every social event, creating elaborate excuses. After reading Tabitha’s book, she started responding with “I won’t be able to make it, but thanks for thinking of me.” The first few times felt terrifying. Then it felt liberating. Then it became normal.

4. Meal Prep is Self-Love in Action

Tabitha is huge on meal prep, not because it’s trendy, but because it’s practical magic. She talks about setting yourself up for success by preparing food when you have energy, so it’s there when you don’t.

This isn’t about Instagram-perfect containers. It’s about making life easier for future you.

How to implement this: Choose one day a week (Sunday works for many people, but pick what suits you). Spend 2-3 hours washing and chopping vegetables, cooking grains, preparing a big pot of soup or a casserole. Store everything in clear containers so you can see what you have.

Example: Tabitha’s “Sunday Set-Up” routine involves washing greens, chopping peppers and onions, cooking quinoa and rice, and making one big batch recipe. When Tuesday night hits and she’s exhausted from filming, she can throw together a bowl in five minutes rather than ordering takeaway or skipping dinner altogether.

5. Find Your Anchor Recipe

Everyone needs what Tabitha calls an “anchor recipe,” something simple, nourishing, and flexible that you can make without thinking. For her, it’s often a big pot of vegetable soup or her famous carrot bacon.

Your anchor recipe should be something you actually enjoy eating, uses affordable ingredients, and can be modified based on what’s in your fridge.

How to implement this: Identify one recipe you make regularly that ticks these boxes. Master it. Make it so often you don’t need to look at measurements. Then start playing with variations. Add different vegetables, try new spices, swap the grain.

Example: James’s anchor recipe is a basic stir-fry. He always has rice, whatever vegetables are on offer, and a simple sauce (soy sauce, ginger, garlic, a touch of maple syrup). Some weeks it’s broccoli and peppers. Other weeks it’s courgette and mushrooms. Same technique, different ingredients, always satisfying.

6. Let Food Be Medicine (But Also Let It Be Joy)

Tabitha’s health transformation came from changing what she ate, but she’s clear: food should heal you AND bring you pleasure. It’s not about punishment or restriction. It’s about discovering what makes your body thrive whilst also satisfying your soul.

She talks about adding rather than subtracting. Instead of focusing on what you’re giving up, focus on all the new flavours and dishes you’re discovering.

How to implement this: For one month, try adding one new plant-based recipe to your week without removing anything else. Notice how you feel. Notice what you enjoy. Pay attention to your energy levels, digestion, and mood.

Example: When Tabitha first started eating more plants, she didn’t eliminate her favourite comfort foods. She recreated them. Her mac and cheese uses cashew cream. Her “chicken” sandwich uses marinated mushrooms. She found ways to honour her cravings whilst choosing ingredients that made her body happy.

7. Create Food Boundaries That Honour You

One of the most powerful sections of the book addresses how to navigate social situations when your eating choices differ from those around you. Tabitha talks about family dinners, church potlucks, and work events where people have opinions about what’s on your plate.

Her approach is gentle but firm: you don’t owe anyone an explanation for your choices, and you can be kind whilst holding your boundaries.

How to implement this: Decide in advance how you’ll handle common situations. Will you eat before going to events where there might not be options for you? Will you bring a dish to share? Will you simply choose what works from what’s available? Having a plan removes the anxiety.

Example: Tabitha brings her own dishes to family gatherings, not as a statement, but as a practical solution. She makes them so delicious that others want to try them. She never lectures or judges what others are eating. She just shows up with her food, with her joy, and lets that speak for itself.

8. Rest is Productive

This might seem unrelated to food, but Tabitha makes a crucial connection: when you’re exhausted, you make poor food choices. When you’re running on empty, you reach for quick energy instead of real nourishment.

She talks about her own journey of learning to rest, of understanding that pushing through isn’t noble, it’s harmful. Rest isn’t lazy. It’s strategic.

How to implement this: Schedule rest the way you schedule meetings. Put it in your calendar. Protect it. Whether it’s 20 minutes in the afternoon to sit with tea, or a full day off each week, make rest non-negotiable.

Example: Tabitha describes her Sunday routine: minimal cooking (because she prepped), no social media, no work emails. She reads, she sits outside, she moves slowly. She noticed that on the weeks she honoured this rest day, her energy and creativity were exponentially higher. On the weeks she skipped it, everything felt harder.

9. Speak to Yourself Like Someone You Love

Tabitha is big on affirmations, but not in a toxic positivity way. She acknowledges the hard stuff. She just refuses to let negative self-talk become her default setting.

She talks about catching yourself in moments of self-criticism and actively choosing different words. Not fake words. True words that are kinder.

How to implement this: Notice your internal dialogue, especially around food and your body. When you catch yourself thinking “I’m so bad for eating that” or “I have no willpower,” stop. Reframe it. “I’m human and I enjoyed that treat” or “Tomorrow I’ll make choices that feel better.”

Example: Tabitha shares that she used to berate herself for every perceived failure. Now, when something doesn’t go as planned, she says “That’s okay, baby. We’ll try again.” She literally speaks to herself the way she’d speak to a beloved friend or child. The shift in her mental health has been profound.

10. Share Your Table, Share Your Life

The final lesson woven throughout the book is about community. Tabitha believes food is meant to be shared, and that some of life’s best moments happen around a table with people you love.

But she expands this idea beyond just dinner parties. Sharing your table means being generous with your story, your struggles, and your victories. It means creating space for others to feel seen and loved.

How to implement this: Invite someone over for a meal. It doesn’t need to be fancy. It doesn’t need to be Instagram-worthy. Make something simple, set the table (even if it’s just two plates on a coffee table), and create space for real conversation.

Example: Tabitha talks about her “Tab Time” videos, which are essentially her inviting millions of people to her virtual table. She shares her food, her thoughts, her heart. People respond because they feel seen and welcomed. You can do this on any scale. One friend, one meal, one honest conversation at a time.

The Recipes That Changed Everything

Whilst the life lessons are the soul of the book, the recipes are its beating heart. Here are a few that readers consistently mention as game-changers:

Carrot Bacon: Thinly sliced carrots marinated in a smoky, sweet glaze and baked until crispy. People who swear they could never give up bacon have admitted this scratches that itch.

Mushroom “Philly Cheesesteak”: Sautéed mushrooms and peppers with melted cashew cheese on a toasted roll. It’s rich, satisfying, and proves that plant-based doesn’t mean sacrificing comfort food.

Tab’s Daily Green Smoothie: Spinach, banana, mango, and a few other simple ingredients blended into something that tastes like a tropical holiday rather than a health punishment.

Cornbread Dressing: Her holiday stuffing that’s so good, meat-eaters request it specifically. It’s savoury, slightly sweet, perfectly textured, and holds its own on any celebration table.

Mac and Cheese: The recipe that broke the internet. Cashew-based cheese sauce that’s creamy, tangy, and indistinguishable from the dairy version to most people.

What makes these recipes special isn’t just that they’re vegan. It’s that they’re designed by someone who understands comfort food, who knows what it’s like to crave your mum’s cooking, who gets that food is about memory and emotion as much as nutrition.

The Business of Being Tabitha

One aspect of the book that surprises people is how much Tabitha shares about her career journey. She wasn’t always the social media sensation with millions of followers and a thriving business. She was an aspiring actress who couldn’t catch a break, a wife and mother trying to make ends meet, a woman who nearly gave up on her dreams entirely.

Her breakthrough came at 39, after decades of rejection and disappointment. She posted a video in her car, trying some vegan food from a drive-through, and something about her authenticity resonated. She wasn’t trying to be anyone but herself.

The lesson here is profound: your timing isn’t wrong, it’s yours. Success doesn’t have an expiration date. Starting something new at 40, 50, 60 isn’t too late. It’s exactly when it’s meant to happen.

She talks about the importance of staying true to yourself even when success comes. She didn’t suddenly change her values or her message when brands came calling. She partners with companies that align with her beliefs. She says no to opportunities that would compromise her integrity.

This part of the book feels especially important in our age of influencer culture, where it seems like everyone’s selling something. Tabitha’s approach is refreshingly honest: build something real, serve people genuinely, and the business will follow.

Faith, Not Fear

Religion and spirituality are woven throughout Feeding the Soul, but in a way that feels inclusive rather than preachy. Tabitha is open about her Christian faith, but she frames her spiritual practices in ways that anyone can connect with, regardless of their beliefs.

She talks about starting her day with prayer and meditation, about surrendering control, about trusting that she’s being guided. But the practical application is universal: taking time to centre yourself, releasing anxiety about things you can’t control, believing that things will work out.

One of her daily practices is speaking affirmations out loud: “I am healthy. I am wealthy. I am free.” Not as a way to bypass real problems, but as a way to anchor herself in truth rather than fear.

She’s honest about the times her faith wavered, about the dark period when her health was failing and she couldn’t see a way forward. She doesn’t present faith as a shield against difficulty. She presents it as a light in the darkness.

Whether you share her specific religious beliefs or not, there’s something powerful about her commitment to hope, to gratitude, to seeing the good even when things are hard.

The Marriage Chapter Nobody Talks About

One of the most vulnerable parts of the book is when Tabitha discusses her marriage to Chance. She doesn’t sugarcoat it: they went through a rough patch. A really rough patch. The kind where divorce felt inevitable.

She talks about how her health crisis and subsequent transformation created tension. She was changing, growing, stepping into a bigger version of herself, and that was scary for both of them. They had to learn how to grow together rather than apart.

What she shares about saving their marriage is applicable to any relationship: communication, willingness to seek help (they went to therapy), commitment to working through the hard stuff rather than running from it, and remembering why you chose each other in the first place.

She also talks about the importance of maintaining your own identity within a marriage. She doesn’t lose herself in being Chance’s wife. She’s Tabitha, who happens to be married to Chance. That distinction matters.

For readers going through relationship struggles, this section offers hope. Not the false “everything will magically fix itself” kind, but the real “if you’re both willing to do the work, you can come out stronger” kind.

Food and Social Justice

Tabitha doesn’t shy away from discussing how food access is a justice issue. She acknowledges that eating healthy, organic, plant-based food is easier when you have resources. She grew up in a food desert. She knows what it’s like to live in areas where fresh produce is scarce and expensive.

Her approach is to make plant-based eating accessible. She shares budget-friendly recipes. She shops at regular supermarkets, not just fancy health food shops. She uses frozen vegetables. She finds deals.

But she also uses her platform to advocate for change. She talks about the need for better food access in underserved communities. She supports organizations working to address food insecurity. She doesn’t just tell people to eat better. She acknowledges the systemic barriers that make that difficult for many.

This is important because wellness culture often ignores these realities. It presents expensive supplements, organic everything, and time-intensive meal prep as if they’re accessible to everyone. Tabitha keeps it real.

The Permission to Evolve

Throughout the book, there’s this recurring theme: you’re allowed to change your mind. You’re allowed to outgrow old versions of yourself. You’re allowed to want different things than you wanted before.

Tabitha gave up on acting for years because the constant rejection was destroying her spirit. She took a “regular job” and thought that was the end of her dreams. Then social media happened, and suddenly she had a platform, an audience, and opportunities she never imagined.

But here’s the thing: she didn’t go back to chasing the exact dream she had at 20. She evolved. She created something new that honoured who she was now, not who she used to be.

This permission to evolve extends to everything. You can change your diet. You can change your career. You can change your mind about what you want your life to look like. You can disappoint people. You can prioritize yourself.

The world will adjust.

Building Your Own Tab Time

One of the most actionable parts of the book is when Tabitha breaks down her daily routine. Not in a rigid “you must do this to be successful” way, but as a example of how she structures her days to support her wellbeing.

She wakes up early (because that’s when she feels most creative, not because you’re supposed to). She spends time in prayer and meditation. She exercises. She eats a nourishing breakfast. She sets intentions for the day.

Then she works, creating content, filming, managing her business. But she also builds in breaks. She doesn’t push through exhaustion. She respects her limits.

Evenings are for family. Dinner together. Conversation. Connection. She doesn’t bring work to the table (literally or figuratively).

Before bed, she reflects on the day. She writes in her gratitude journal. She lets go of what didn’t go well and celebrates what did.

You can adapt this framework to your own life:

Morning: How do you want to start your day? What makes you feel grounded?

Midday: How do you maintain energy? What nourishment (food, rest, joy) do you need?

Evening: How do you transition from work to rest? How do you connect with loved ones?

Night: How do you prepare for tomorrow? How do you release today?

The specifics don’t matter. The intention does.

The Community She’s Built

What’s remarkable about Tabitha’s success isn’t just the numbers (though they’re impressive). It’s the quality of the community she’s cultivated. Her followers genuinely care about each other. They support one another. They share recipes, encouragement, and love.

This didn’t happen by accident. Tabitha intentionally creates a space that feels safe and inclusive. She moderates hateful comments. She celebrates diversity. She makes it clear that everyone is welcome at her table.

In the book, she talks about the responsibility that comes with having a platform. She doesn’t take it lightly. She uses her voice to uplift others, to advocate for causes she believes in, to spread more love in a world that often feels cruel.

For readers thinking about building their own communities (whether online or in person), the lessons are clear: be authentic, be kind, be consistent, and create the kind of space you’d want to be part of.

The Unexpected Gifts of Going Plant-Based

Whilst Feeding the Soul isn’t exclusively about veganism, Tabitha does share some unexpected benefits she discovered:

Mental clarity: The brain fog she’d lived with for years lifted. She could think more clearly, focus better, and be more present.

Improved mood: She noticed she felt more emotionally stable. Less anxious, less depressed, more able to handle stress.

Better sleep: She started sleeping more deeply and waking up feeling actually rested.

Financial savings: Contrary to popular belief, her grocery bills went down. Beans, rice, and vegetables are cheaper than meat and cheese.

Environmental impact: She felt good knowing her choices were better for the planet.

Compassion expansion: She found herself feeling more empathetic generally, not just toward animals but toward all beings.

Again, these are her experiences. Your mileage may vary. But it’s worth considering that changing what you eat might change more than just your physical health.

Addressing the Hard Questions

Tabitha doesn’t avoid the challenging questions people have about plant-based eating:

“Where do you get your protein?” Beans, lentils, tofu, tempeh, quinoa, nuts, seeds. She’s very specific about this and shares her favourite protein-rich meals.

“Isn’t it expensive?” It can be if you buy a lot of processed vegan alternatives. But whole foods (grains, legumes, produce) are actually quite affordable.

“What about when you eat out?” She offers strategies for navigating restaurants, including calling ahead, checking menus online, and not being afraid to ask for modifications.

“Do you take supplements?” Yes. She takes B12 (which many non-vegans are deficient in too) and vitamin D. She’s transparent about this.

“Don’t you miss [insert food here]?” Sometimes. She’s honest about that. But she’s found alternatives she loves, and the way she feels outweighs any cravings.

The point isn’t to have a perfect answer to every objection. The point is to make informed choices based on what matters to you.

Your Kitchen as Sacred Space

There’s a section in the book where Tabitha describes organizing her kitchen, not in a Marie Kondo way (though there’s overlap), but in a way that makes cooking feel like less of a chore and more of a ritual.

She keeps her most-used tools easily accessible. She stores ingredients in clear containers so she can see what she has. She has a specific cutting board she loves using. She invested in a good knife. She created a spice rack that makes her happy every time she looks at it.

These small things matter because they reduce friction. When cooking feels hard, you’re less likely to do it. When your kitchen is set up to support you, you’re more likely to choose preparing food over ordering takeaway.

Practical steps:

• Declutter your kitchen. Get rid of gadgets you never use, duplicate tools, chipped dishes. Create space.
• Organize by frequency. Things you use daily should be most accessible.
• Make it beautiful. Fresh flowers, a nice tea towel, whatever makes you smile.
• Stock basics. Having essentials on hand means you can always throw together a meal.
• Clean as you go. Tabitha’s rule: never leave a messy kitchen. It makes starting the next meal feel easier.

The “That’s Your Business” Philosophy

We need to spend more time on this phrase because it’s genuinely life-changing. “That’s your business” is Tabitha’s gentle way of establishing boundaries whilst staying kind.

Someone doesn’t like your food choices? That’s their business. Someone thinks you’re wasting your time with your dreams? That’s their business. Someone has opinions about your career, your relationships, your body? That’s their business.

It’s not defensive. It’s not aggressive. It’s simply acknowledging that their thoughts and feelings are theirs to manage, not yours to fix or change.

The flip side is equally important: other people’s choices are their business. Tabitha doesn’t judge people for eating meat. She doesn’t lecture. She doesn’t guilt. She lives her truth and lets others live theirs.

This philosophy can be applied to virtually everything:

• Your children make choices you wouldn’t make? That’s their business (once they’re adults).
• Your partner has different opinions? That’s their business.
• Your colleagues work differently than you? That’s their business.

It’s not apathy. It’s respect for autonomy. It’s releasing the need to control everyone around you. It’s freedom.

The Weight Loss Question

People often ask Tabitha about weight loss because she visibly transformed when she changed her diet. She addresses this in the book with characteristic honesty:

She didn’t go plant-based to lose weight. She did it to heal. The weight loss was a side effect, not the goal.

She’s careful not to centre weight loss in her message because she knows how damaging diet culture can be. She focuses on how she feels, not how she looks. She talks about energy, strength, and vitality rather than dress sizes.

But she acknowledges that for people carrying excess weight, changing how you eat might naturally result in weight loss. The key is making it about health, not appearance. About adding nutritious foods, not restricting calories. About listening to your body, not following rigid rules.

She also talks about body acceptance. About loving yourself at every size. About understanding that health isn’t determined by a number on a scale.

This balanced approach feels refreshing in a world of extreme dieting on one end and “health at every size regardless of actual health markers” on the other. She finds a middle path: take care of your body, honour it, nourish it, and let it find its natural balance.

The Recipes vs. The Message

Here’s something interesting: when I interviewed readers of Feeding the Soul, most of them weren’t following the recipes exactly. They were using them as inspiration but adapting them based on their own tastes, needs, and available ingredients.

And that’s exactly what Tabitha wants.

The recipes aren’t meant to be followed like chemistry experiments. They’re starting points. She encourages substitutions, experimentation, and making them your own.

The real value of the book isn’t in replicating her carrot bacon precisely. It’s in adopting her mindset: cooking with love, eating with intention, and seeing food as one part of a larger practice of self-care.

Some readers went fully plant-based. Others just added more vegetables to their diet. Some tried the recipes and decided this approach wasn’t for them. All of that is fine.

The message transcends the method.

When People Don’t Understand

One theme that comes up repeatedly is navigating relationships with people who don’t understand or support your choices. Tabitha faced this with extended family, friends, even strangers on the internet.

Her advice:

Don’t argue. You won’t convince someone through debate. Live your truth and let that be your testimony.

Don’t preach. Nobody likes being lectured. Share when asked, but don’t force your views on others.

Stay kind. Even when people are unkind to you. Especially then.

Find your people. Build community with others who get it, who support you, who celebrate your growth.

Remember why you started. When external pressure builds, reconnect with your internal why. Nobody else needs to understand it.

She shares a story about a family member who constantly made jokes about her food, questioned her choices, and tried to tempt her with old favourites. Instead of getting defensive or angry, she just kept showing up with love, kept bringing delicious food to gatherings, and kept being herself.

Eventually, that family member stopped commenting. They didn’t necessarily change their mind about veganism, but they respected Tabitha’s commitment. Sometimes that’s the best you can hope for.

The Legacy You’re Creating

Near the end of the book, Tabitha talks about legacy. Not in a morbid way, but in a “what do you want to be remembered for” way.

She’s clear: she wants to be remembered for spreading love and joy. For making people feel seen and valued. For creating space at her table for everyone. For showing that it’s never too late to become who you’re meant to be.

The food, the recipes, the success—those are vehicles for the real mission, which is helping people live more authentically and joyfully.

This reframes how we think about our own legacies. It’s not about grand achievements or being famous. It’s about the small, daily choices we make. The kindness we extend. The love we share.

Every meal you prepare with intention is part of your legacy. Every time you honour your body’s needs, you’re creating a legacy. Every moment you choose joy over perfectionism, you’re building something that matters.

The Final Chapter: Keep Growing

The book ends not with a neat conclusion but with an invitation to keep going. To keep learning, experimenting, growing, and evolving.

Tabitha makes it clear: she doesn’t have all the answers. She’s still figuring things out. She still makes mistakes, has bad days, and struggles sometimes.

But she keeps showing up. She keeps trying. She keeps choosing herself, her health, and her joy.

And she wants that for you too.

Feeding the Soul isn’t a manual with rigid instructions. It’s a conversation with a friend who’s a few steps ahead on the path, turning back to say “you can do this, and I’ll show you how I did it, but you get to do it your own way.”

The beauty of Tabitha’s approach is that there’s no failure. There’s only learning. There’s only the next meal, the next choice, the next opportunity to nourish yourself in all the ways that matter.

So whether you read this book and go completely plant-based, or you just start adding more vegetables to your plate, or you simply adopt the “that’s your business” mindset, you’re doing it right.

Because feeding your soul looks different for everyone. The important part is that you start.
