Trust Your Gut's Intuition Ep. 2

Welcome back to our living room. In Episode 2, Patrick and his wife Gabrielle pick up where the wedding left off and dig into Gabrielle's journey with food, faith, health, and motherhood. She admits she could not cook when they got married (the chicken pot pie that nearly set their first house on fire is proof), shares how a middle school home ec project sparked a lifelong love of cooking, and explains how that passion became Gabbi's Kitchen, a recipe blog, even after her dream of cooking school was set aside. Just weeks after launching the blog in 2013, at 23 years old, Gabrielle contracted a severe case of E. coli, spent a week in the hospital fighting for her life, and began a 12-year road to heal her gut. The couple also share being rear-ended at eight months pregnant, a 22-hour natural labor, the arrival of their daughter Ava (a fighter from her very first minutes), and why Gabrielle learned to trust her God-given mom intuition over all the outside voices. Plus, Patrick tells the paternity leave joke that left a coworker speechless. The episode wraps with how a move to Texas, a hard season of job loss, and a friend's sourdough lesson brought Gabbi's Kitchen back to life as a home cottage bakery. The big takeaway: listen to your gut. The passions God puts in you early on are worth paying attention to, even if it takes 20 years to come back around to them.
