| 6/17/26 | ![]() Tapping Into Freedom | This is the season seven finale—and it's a personal one. In this solo episode, I explore what freedom actually feels like in the body: not the rush, not the grand gesture, but the quieter, more powerful kind that's available to us in any moment of everyday life.From harvesting arugula on an unexpected free morning to catching myself measuring tamari in my own fried rice recipe, I get honest about how easy it is to forget the freedom we already have—and how tiny acts of remembering are what bring us back.I also introduce Cook Free, a new summer series that invites you to step away from the recipe and trust yourself in the kitchen.In this episode:* What freedom actually feels like in the body (and why it's quieter than you'd expect)* The micro-moments that crack the door open* A kitchen story about tamari, fried rice, and agency* A sneak peek at the Cook Free series* A love letter to you before the summer breakLINKS AND RESOURCES* Subscribe to the Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/*Listen to the full season of the podcast here: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/podcast* Mind, Body, Spirit, Food Cookbook: https://fromscratchfast.com/nicki-sizemore/* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore This is a public episode.

| 6/10/26 | ![]() Desert Magic, Soulful Food & the Art of Following Your Gut | What happens when you hand a stranger all your savings in cash, buy a restaurant in the middle of the Mojave desert on a feeling, and build something extraordinary from scratch? You get La Copine.This week I sat down with Nikki Hill and Claire Wadsworth — the couple and creative duo behind one of the most talked-about destination restaurants in the California desert and authors of the new cookbook by the same name, La Copine. We talk about the deeply intertwined worlds of food, love, intuition, and what it actually takes to build something magical.This conversation goes everywhere — from a vision quest in Bryce Canyon to ancient aquifers beneath the desert floor, from writing wedding vows as a song to the genius of rice flour on eggplant.

| 6/3/26 | ![]() Rooted & Rising | This week's intention is a carry-over from Sunday's post on inner power — and it's one I needed deeply this week: I will get grounded.Getting grounded isn't a wellness buzzword. It's a felt sense in the body. A root system for real, lasting inner power. And in this short episode, I explore what that actually looks like — in the chakra system, in the kitchen, in the way we move through an ordinary evening.In this episode:*The difference between ego-driven power and true inner power — and why it matters right now*Why the root chakra is the foundation of real confidence (and what happens when we skip it)*The foods and drinks that help me feel steady and grounded — including beets, nettle tea, and why protein matters more than we think*How the body is a portal: movement, cooking, barefoot mornings, and yes — an 80s dance party*Something new and a little vulnerable that I'm exploring, and how getting grounded is helping me navigate itLINKS AND RESOURCES* Subscribe to the Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/* Mind, Body, Spirit, Food Cookbook: https://fromscratchfast.com/nicki-sizemore/* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore* Sunday’s newsletter about inner power: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/power-in-a-dressing-so-good-you-can* Newsletter about how niceness blocks our power: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/green-socca-flatbreads* Roasted Beet & Halloumi Salad Recipe: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/bonus-recipe-roasted-beet-and-halloumi* The power of play intention episode: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/intention-13-i-will-play* Get rooted intention episode: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/weekly-intention-5Mind Body Spirit Food is ad-free and community-supported.

We explore the common—and often overlooked—symptoms of perimenopause, how shifting hormones can impact mood, sleep, stress, and energy, and why so many women feel like their bodies suddenly stop responding the way they once did. Sam shares practical insights on blood sugar balance, protein, fiber, movement, nervous system support, supplements, and the powerful role of consistency in helping us feel more steady and well.

| 4/15/26 | ![]() Food, ritual, and what it means to be human | In this episode, I’m joined by Marije Vogelzang, a pioneering Dutch food designer who uses food as a medium to explore human connection, emotion, and experience.While we often think of food as flavor or nutrition, Marije invites us to see it as something much deeper—a way to access memory, create meaning, and reconnect with ourselves and each other. This conversation explores food as ritual, as play, and as a powerful tool for presence.We also dive into the parts of food we often avoid—the connection to death, transformation, and the unseen processes that make nourishment possible—and how embracing these realities can deepen our gratitude and sense of aliveness.Toward the end, Marije shares a simple, playful way to make your meals more meaningful—something you can try at your own table tonight.Links and Resources* Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD Newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/* Order Nicki's new book: https://fromscratchfast.com/nicki-sizemore/* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore* Marije’s website: www.marijevogelzang.nl* Food Design Playground: www.fooddesignplayground.nl* Find Marije on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/marije_vogelzang/ This is a public episode.

Her newest book, Feast on Your Life, explores how everyday cooking can become a practice of attention, care, and delight.Together they discuss why cooking still matters, how noticing with our senses can transform the kitchen experience, and why letting go of perfectionism can bring more freedom and joy to home cooking.

But true connection doesn’t begin with other people—it begins within.Nicki explores how real connection doesn't come from people-pleasing, resentment, enmeshment, or obligation, but rather from a place of grounding.

| 12/3/25 | ![]() Weekly Intention #7: I will be simple. | In this week’s intention episode, Nicki explores what it means to be simple—not to simplify our lives through action, but to embody a state of simplicity itself. She reflects on why slowing down can feel harder than staying busy, how our nervous systems get swept into the collective pace of the season, and why embracing simplicity—especially now—can feel both radical and deeply nourishing. She shares how this intention can show up in daily life, in the kitchen, in holiday baking, and in the way we inhabit our bodies.You’ll hear about:The difference between simplifying and being simpleHow nature models the kind of rest and shedding we’re being called intoSimple rituals and foods that help us feel clear, rooted, and presentHow this intention can transform cooking into a more joyful, embodied practiceAn invitation to drop your metaphorical “leaves” and return to yourself each dayWe’re approaching the winter solstice—the darkest day of the year—and there’s no better time to release what you don’t need, settle your energy, and feel the light that comes from being your simplest, truest self.Resources & Links:* Pre-Order Nicki’s new book: https://fromscratchfast.com/nicki-sizemore/* Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD Newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/* Join Nicki for a weekend retreat at Kripalu!

| 11/12/25 | ![]() Sustainable Meat, Regenerative Agriculture, and Seasonal Rituals | Today’s episode weaves together two different threads: how we can eat meat more sustainably (and joyfully) and how we can live in a way that feels more sustainable to our nervous systems.Nicki is joined by butcher-turned-writer Steve Sabicer, creator of the newsletter Enlightened Omnivore. Steve shares his winding path from PBS-obsessed latchkey kid to running an artisanal whole-animal butcher shop, and what he’s learned about sourcing and cooking meat in ways that support both flavor and the planet.They explore what “better meat” actually means in practice, the truth about grass-finished and pasture-raised systems, how regenerative agriculture can help rebuild soil, and simple, budget-friendly ways to reduce food waste at home.The conversation then shifts to sustainability in life as well as in food. Steve explains how he uses the Indigenous Medicine Wheel as a compass for balance—mind, body, spirit, and heart—and shares the small, seasonal rituals his family practices throughout the year.LINKS AND RESOURCES * Mind, Body, Spirit, FOOD Newsletter: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/* Pre-Order Nicki's new book: https://fromscratchfast.com/nicki-sizemore/* Find Nicki on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickisizemore* Steve’s newsletter, Enlightened Omnivore: https://enlightenedomnivore.substack.com/* One Bowl French Green Salad: https://fromscratchfast.com/quick-green-salad/* My podcast conversation with Liz Carlisle: https://mindbodyspiritfood.substack.com/p/regenerative-farming-climate-change* Marbled Meat Shop: https://marbledmeatshop.com/* Georgia regenerative farmer Will Harris: https://whiteoakpastures.com/pages/our-team* Barons: Money, Power, and the Corruption of America’s Food Industry, by Austin Frerick: https://bookshop.org/a/114665/9781642834444* Steve’s Medicine Wheel Newsletter* The Four Agreements: A Practical Guide to Personal Freedom, by Don Miguel Ruiz: https://bookshop.org/a/114665/9781878424310* The Medicine Bag: Shamanic Rituals & Ceremonies for Personal Transformation, by Don Miguel Ruiz: https://bookshop.org/a/114665/9781938289873 This is a public episode.
