Why I Started the Keep It Real AF Podcast

The Keep It Real AF Podcast started as a fun friend project, but if I’m keeping it real, it brought me back to the core reason why I started Food & Mood in the first place- to create space for real, meaningful conversations about the things that matter most.

Each week, we’ll bring you a mix of real talk, relatable stories, and insights from guest experts on topics like skincare and stress management to career advice and hormone health. Whether you’re folding laundry, getting a walk in, or stealing a quiet moment to yourself, we hope this podcast makes you feel a little more connected, a little more inspired, and a lot more seen.

The Keep It Real AF Podcast is available now on all major podcast platforms, including Apple and Spotify. Check it out and let us know what you think! If you enjoy it, please leave us a review and share with your friends- it helps us grow this community and reach more women who might need a pick me up.
