Description
Welcome to the regular addition of The Burnt Chef Journal hosted by Kris Hall founder of The Burnt Chef Project.
Join us as we explore mental health and wellbeing within the hospitality world and talk openly with our guests about the journey through their careers and experiences with mental health and stress.
Listen whilst prepping, on your break, at the gym or at home as we discuss what a mentally healthy hospitality workplace looks like.
We hope that you enjoy the content and that you find the open conversations refreshingly honest, relatable and potentially provide some tools to use to benefit you or your team.
