ABOUT THIS EPISODE
What if the meals you ate this year could reveal exactly where you're stuck—and where you're headed?
In this reflective episode of Babe Cave, Amanda Polick shares her signature year-end practice: using the way you set your table as a mirror for how you show up in your creative work and life.
Through three powerful questions about the meals that defined your year, you'll uncover patterns you didn't realize were there—and design the table you actually want to sit at in the new year.
In this conversation, you'll discover:
- How a single meal can reveal the comparison patterns and insecurities holding you back in your creative work
- Why the simplest meals often teach us the most about contentment—and what that means for your writing practice
- The connection between overcomplicating your plate and overcomplicating your manuscript (and why both fail for the same reason)
- A vision casting practice that writers and creatives return to year after year
- Three reflection questions you can journal through tonight to map your fullest year ahead
Perfect for: Writers navigating comparison and imposter syndrome, creatives designing their next year's vision, anyone who journals through transitions, food memoir writers and cookbook authors who understand that how we eat reflects how we live.
Amanda Polick is a writing coach specializing in cookbooks, food memoirs, and fiction. She helps writers stop shrinking their voices and create work they're proud of.
