Her Life Before the Discovery of Self Confidence
Nastasha spent all of her 20s (literally!) feeling like she needed to step up and do more, because she wasn’t sure of what she wanted to do and who she wanted to be.
The “AHA” Moment
Nastasha got to work with a small, very passionate team of Filipino food lovers to bring the “Hidden Flavors of the Philippine Kitchen” food tour to Toronto. This is when Nastasha realized the same passion when working endless hours on her podcast and writing.
Her Life After the Discovery of Self Confidence

What is it about myself that I specifically feel I don’t have a handle on, and what can I do about it? Who can I talk to?
