Shownotes

In this episode of the Love Stories podcast, I had the immense pleasure of speaking with Mareya Ibrahim, also known as Chef Mareya, the Fit Foodie. Mareya is a nationally recognized food and lifestyle expert, author, and creator of transformative programs like Fit and Fab Over 40 and Eat to Thrive. With her rich background as a chef, holistic nutritionist, and brain health coach, Marea is dedicated to helping others lead vibrant, purpose-filled lives through the integration of faith, food, and wellness.

Mareya also opened up about her marriage and the challenges she faced with her ex-husband's alcoholism. She candidly discussed the difficult decision to prioritize her children's well-being, leading to her eventual divorce. This pivotal moment in her life prompted her to embrace her entrepreneurial spirit, resulting in the creation of EatCleaner, a product designed to enhance food safety and quality.
