069 A Recipe for Fearlessness with Kimberly Espinel of The Little Plantation and Eat Capture Share -

Can you imagine the freedom of living fearlessly? It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Kimberly Espinel, a London-based food photographer, educator, and very recently author of the book Creative Food Photography. Kimberly hosts the popular and informative food blogging podcast titled Eat Capture Share. She also hosts the seasonal food photography challenge over on Instagram by the same title, Eat Capture Share. Of all the things I’ve admired about Kimberly since I came across her community, the thing I admire most is her utter fearlessness - well, both her fearlessness and her focus.

Today, Kimberly shares how her origin story was fraught with difficulties. Loneliness shaped her into a tenacious, brave, and empathetic woman whose greatest strength is her ability to connect with people of diverse backgrounds - including those who, like her, often found themselves in the place of the “other”. Whatever our own origin story is, if we desire to be more fearless and more focused in our life, Kimberly's story can tell us how.
