Amanda (Meixner) Rocchio (@meowmeix on Instagram) is a food blogger, wellness influencer, and meal prep expert. Incidentally, she was also my very first guest on The Genius Life, so she's been long overdue for this return visit!
What you'll learn from this episode:
How Amanda strives to make nutrition easy to understand (and inspired me to do the same).
The importance of experimenting with how you convey your message when trying to build a social media following.
When you're learning a new skill, it's ideal to learn the rules before you go breaking them. Nutrition works the same way.
How some nutritional advice Amanda and I dispense can be seen as controversial (and why we're okay with that).
What a day of healthy, fulfilling eating looks like for Amanda and me.
And so much more!
