Today’s guest will light a fire under you as she did to me because she’s such an inspiring and empowering woman. Chef Alexia Apostolidi is an award-winning chef, restauranteur, cookbook author, tv host, and online cooking school owner, who continues to thrive despite many failures. She knew she was passionate about cooking since she was a child, and continued to pursue her dreams no matter how impossible it may have seemed in the past. Chef Alexia has run successful restaurants in Greece and the US has worked in Michelin Star restaurants and was even the District Training Manager in Burger King. Chef Alexia is very quick to think on her feet and evolves with the economy and changing times. In the face of the pandemic, she again found herself pivoting and launched her e-book with low carb, sugar-free, grain-free, and gluten-free recipes, online cooking school, and focused on her online cooking show.
