The World Is Changing—So Should the Way We Think About Our Kitchen

The world is changing — and so must we.

For the past two years, My Mindful Kitchen has been a gentle voice in the noise: reflective, nurturing, rooted in mindfulness and gratitude. We’ve invited people to slow down, savor food, and teach children respect for the table. That work matters. It still does.

But the kitchen is not separate from the world. It’s where climate change shows up in rising grocery prices and shrinking harvests. It’s where policy decisions echo in empty shelves and food insecurity. It’s where inflation, inequality, and environmental collapse become personal.

We can’t afford to whisper anymore.

So today I am announcing the next chapter of My Mindful Kitchen which will speak with more urgency and conviction. We’ll connect what happens in our kitchens to the bigger issues shaping our world. We will ask hard questions. We will challenge comfort. We will call for action.

We still believe in compassion. We still believe in hope. But now, we’re inviting you to do more than reflect — we’re asking you to act.

Our next chapter centers on what I call The 3-Ingredient Kitchen — a way of living rooted in Mindfulness, Belonging, and Purpose.

The 3-Ingredient Kitchen helps people use food as a gateway to mindful living — creating stronger families, healthier choices, and a more sustainable world.

Just this morning, I read an article by sustainability expert Steven M. Finn, Vice President of Sustainability and Public Affairs at Leanpath, who wrote that food waste is both a moral and a systems issue — and that transforming our food culture begins with how we value food itself. I couldn’t agree more.

That truth is exactly why our kitchens matter. They are where the global becomes local, where awareness becomes action, and where change can begin — one mindful meal, one family, one community at a time.

Our voice will be strong, persuasive, and morally grounded — not just a guide, but an advocate. We’ll use data, stories, and lived experience to show how the kitchen can be a site of resistance, resilience, and renewal.
