InvisiYouth Chat Sessions

Get all the goodies (both food and life-related) with our special guest, award-winning home cook, TV personality and creator of Dish it Girl, Dina Deleasa Gonsar. With Dina’s approach of creating recipes that fuse her Italian family traditions with a modern twist, she’s made the prospect of having fun in the kitchen approachable to her over 129k Instagram followers! And she uses her platform to connect with other young people and parents being open and honest in advocating about the journey of postpartum depression, anxiety and how to empower yourself to keep growing.
Here’s the Top Four Takeaways from the podcast:
At 3:28 Dina and Dominique get talking about why Dina decided to completely shift careers away from being a school counselor to a professional home cook, the traits that carried over from education to culinary work, and why it’s valuable for all future entrepreneurs to know how to evolve their schedules based on their seasons in life and create their own ‘flex hours’ for each day.
At 19:57 the ladies open up with advice on how to find ways to be empowered when bouts of anxiety or depression come into your days, the reasons Dina opened up about her journey with postpartum depression and believes removing the absolutes of “always” and “never” are game-changers in your well-being.
Intermission is STORY TIME at 42:03 and we get the behind-the-scenes treatment when Dina shares about some fun stories about her time filming the reality TV show “Married to Jonas” and one particular camping episode that exemplifies why Dina won’t be camping anytime soon.
Final segment at 49:27 we get into the kitchen—sorta—and talk all things cooking, Dina’s first mastered dish, cooking disasters that actually shape her growth as a cook, fan favorite recipes, what type of cooking Dina still wants to try and her top tip for all new cooks.
