rekallabrate: the podcast
Welcome to rekallabrate: the podcast. I’m Kalla, and this is a space where we explore how shifting the way you think can shift the way you live.
Through unfiltered solo episodes and raw conversations with guests, I share stories about grief, love, blended family life, government corruption, natural living, and everything in between. The mission is simple: to be real on the internet and spark dialogue through authentic storytelling.
This podcast is recorded in one take with minimal (if any) editing—because life is messy, and that’s what makes it beautiful.
A quick note: this show was previously called Lightin’ Up. Episodes 1–25 still carry that name, and I’m proud of them. Those conversations—on everything from birth to the music industry to farming—are still some of my favorites, so I’ve kept them here. But starting with episode 26, the podcast is officially rekallabrate: the podcast.

35 | The Art of Nourishment with Chef Ra
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of rekallabrate: the podcast, I sit down with my friend Ransom, AKA Chef Ra, to talk about N O U R I S H M E N T.
This is about more than just eating or cooking. It’s about the ART of nourishment—something Ransom has made a career for himself doing!
We talk about his journey from being a teacher & living nomadically to becoming a retreat chef & grounding down in one place for awhile.
Ransom chefs it up in high-intention spaces where food isn’t just fuel, it’s part of the healing, the bonding, the slowing down. When you’re cooking for high vibrational retreats, you can’t hide behind convenience. You have to source well. Plan intentionally. Consider everyone in the room. Nourishment becomes art.
We get into:
- What it actually takes to meal plan (for a retreat or just your family) without burning out
- Why sourcing quality ingredients matters more than we pretend
- Cooking for families in a way that feels grounding instead of overwhelming
- The difference between eating quickly & being nourished deeply
- Minimizing waste & respecting food as something sacred, but also not falling into the trap of eating every leftover like a garbage disposal
- Sensual nourishment (yes, we go there!) & how presence, attention, & food create intimacy between couples & humans
- The importance of praying over your food
Cooking is creative. It’s practical. It’s discipline. It’s devotion. It’s deeply relational.
There’s something powerful about choosing to nourish instead of just consume. About slowing down long enough to taste your food. About feeding the people you love with intention instead of autopilot.
If you eat food, this one’s for you.
& if you’ve been rushing through meals, disconnected from your body, or treating cooking like a chore, this episode might recalibrate the way you think about your kitchen.
Food is a gift from the earth.
Cooking is an art form.
Nourishment is an investment in health & vitality for not just you, but future generations.
Let’s cook, baby!
