Summary
This week, Elizabeth sits down with Camilla Marcus, chef, entrepreneur, activist, author, and mom for a conversation about food, leadership, and what it really means to build a life rooted in joy and intention. Drawing from her California roots and deep connection to hospitality, Camilla shares how food became one of her earliest ways of understanding people, culture, and care, and how that perspective eventually shaped everything from her restaurant career to founding west~bourne. They chat about what regenerative agriculture actually means, why it matters for both personal wellness and the future of our food system, and why the most powerful changes often start with small, everyday choices. Camilla explains why flavor is non-negotiable, how soil health impacts nutrient density, and why supporting regenerative farmers is one of the most meaningful things we can do for the planet and our bodies. She also opens up about building a business through the lens of hospitality, checking your ego at the door, and learning to gear your life toward what brings real energy and joy. Camilla also teases a few favorite new recipes from her new cookbook, My Regenerative Kitchen!
