Beyond the Recipes: Nicole Keshishian on Life, Business & Belief. Ep. 182

Welcome back for Part 2! I am so excited to bring you guys back for another round with the incredible Nicole Keshishian, founder of @kalejunkie, single mama of two boys, and full-time recipe queen + content creator, reppin’ the San Francisco Bay Area.

If you caught Part 1, you know Nicole's journey is nothing short of inspiring. What began as using Instagram to document her healing process and share recipes has grown into a powerful wellness movement that resonates with millions.

Now, the Kale Junkie community is 3.5 million strong across social platforms, and Nicole continues to share her heart and her kitchen with the world. She’s regularly featured on news outlets and media, and is truly a shining example of what happens when you believe in yourself enough to keep going—both in your healing and your hustle.

We dive even deeper today into Nicole’s evolution, how she balances motherhood and business, what career development after divorce really looks like, and what it truly means to trust your intuition. You don’t want to miss this!
