Why support & pay for Nourishing Creativity? 

I’ve made all my newsletter content free. Paid subscribers get bonuses! I trust that even if you take one lesson away from this newsletter, it will be worth your investment.

My life has been changed by taking tiny actions and choosing to invest in myself. What would you life look like if you took time to nourish your creativity and show up fully for yourself?

Real Talk: This is a labor of love! It takes time, energy, and money to produce this newsletter + podcast episodes. I am a mother of two young children and I use the money that you choose to invest to support myself and my family. I also use the money to support my podcast editing team, copywriter, and my virtual assistant and it’s important to me that I’m able to pay them fair wages. An easy and free way to support me and my work is to share this newsletter with a friend. I am so grateful to have your continued support!

More about Chef Carla Contreras 

Yes, I was on Chopped! on the Food Network. I am a content strategist, podcast host, and food stylist. I work with entrepreneurs, brands, and small businesses to grow their presence on and offline. My work has been featured in publications like Apartment Therapy and Well+Good.

As a trained chef, I have worked on hundreds of photo shoots for well-known brands as a food stylist, photographer, recipe developer, art director, and digital content creator. For over 25 years, I've worked professionally in the food industry and have been featured on Chopped! on the Food Network. 

I am the host of the Nourishing Creativity podcast. My endless curiosity for wellness and personal growth has led me to become a certified health coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and The Nutritious Life Studio. I am also a Master Reiki practitioner, meditation teacher, and mother of two.

When I am not testing recipes, food styling, working 1:1 with my clients, or recording an episode of the Show Up Fully Podcast. You can catch me: Going to the farmer’s market with my family, doing Pilates, or sipping Green Smoothie Soup.

Note: I sometimes use affiliate links. I receive a small percentage of the sales. I appreciate your support of my small Latina & women owned business.
