Katie Quinn: Being Pregnant in Three Countries, Living Abroad & Re-Focusing Your Career After Parenthood

Author, food journalist, YouTuber, podcaster, and presenter Katie Quinn joins host Mari Johnson on this episode.

We share our birth stories, discuss the differences of living in different countries, an unexpected use for olive oil, and rebranding "mom brain" into "rockstar brain."

She has authored two books: "Cheese, Wine, and Bread" and the "Avocados" cookbook. You can listen to her on her podcast “Keep It Quirky" and on the Food52 Podcast "Either Side Eaters," which she cohosts. She's been a frequent guest on NBC's Today Show, a contestant on the Food Network's 'Chopped,' and a judge on 'Beat Bobby Flay.'

Mari Johnson

Hi, I’m Mari. A new-ish mother who lives abroad, thrives on travel, creativity, and the outdoors. I grew up in California, in a family that spent weekends hiking, swimming, and enjoying picnics on mountainsides. I currently live in New Zealand with my partner, Nick, and our son, where we enjoy much of the same activities. While I’ve done some adventurous things like solo traveling, hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, and moving to the other side of the world, parenthood still feels like my biggest adventure yet. I hope to create a space where like-minded people can connect, learn, and grow together.
