38:30

Chef Shuai Wang was the runner-up on the 22nd season of Bravo’s Top Chef and is the force behind two standout restaurants in Charleston, South Carolina—Jackrabbit Filly and King BBQ—where he brings together the flavors of his childhood in Beijing and the spirit of the South in some pretty unforgettable ways. He grew up just a short walk from Tiananmen Square, in a tiny home with no electricity or running water, where his grandmother often cooked over charcoal. Later, in Queens, New York, his mom taught herself to cook—her first dishes were a little salty, but they were always made with love. And somewhere along the way, Shuai learned that cooking wasn’t just about food—it was about taking care of people. After years working in New York kitchens, he made his way to Charleston and started building something that feels entirely his own. Today, we’re talking about how all those experiences come together on the plate, the family stories behind his cooking, and what it’s been like to share that journey on national TV.

I asked and recorded them sharing about the lessons their mothers taught them. It was the first time I’d ever heard my grandmother speak about her own mom, Ama. It was so beautiful and so funny. I also share so many of the stories you all submitted about your lessons learned from the mothers in your life. Your wisdom is so powerful -- thank you for sharing your words and stories with me.” - Komal Minhas [3:40] Komal asks her Grandma and her Mother what lessons they learned from their own mothers and reflects on the lessons that have been passed down through generations of Mothers in her family [8:39] Komal shares an important lesson she has learned from her Grandmother: that “we can remain soft, vulnerable, and empathetic in the face of enduring some of life’s greatest traumas” [15:30] Komal reflects on the resilience she has learned from her Mother throughout her lifetime and how they came out from hard times together even stronger [21:45] Members from our community share the lessons they have learned from their own mothers, as well as their own experiences with mothering [30:55] “The lessons we learn from our mothers, we don’t really know them until we’ve lived them.” Komal reflects on how we can get clarity and understanding about the lessons our mothers taught us when we were younger as we grow old.

In this episode. Komal reflects on the big milestones she has reached in her life and the role that celebration has played in them. Komal shares all her lessons learned about celebrating the small and big things in life, and how we can honour ourselves by being present and recognizing that we are worthy of being celebrated. In this episode, you'll learn the steps that you can take to be present and embrace celebrating yourself. Komal also shares: [4:14] - Komal shares her experience holding back from celebrating her wins and not taking the time to revel in them in the past. Komal shares insights on how limiting beliefs can hold us back from shining our light and can lead us into a cycle of guilt when we want to take up space for our accomplishments. [7:50] - Komal reflects on important events that happened in her life (Such as her wedding and her interview with Michelle Obama) that she wishes she could have celebrated better. She shares her lessons learned from some of the biggest times in her life, and reminds you that the joy and pleasure that celebration brings is actually revolutionary and radical for our own self-care. [9:45] - Komal shares the importance of acknowledging the good and the bad in our journeys to accomplishing the big things we are proud of, and how it can help us to create space to celebrate in a meaningful and authentic way. [14:15] - Komal shares how celebration doesn’t just happen after something is accomplished or finished. She shares how celebration can actually be built into the full process of the experience you are having. [21:09] - Komal shares how her past experiences celebrating big times in her life have allowed her to bring forth many learnings into the launch of “The Next Right Step” Program. She also shares the steps she during the launch of her program to be able to remain present and grounded in integrity throughout the entire process. [24:32] - Komal shares her lessons learned throughout the launch of her program, and tangible steps that you can celebrate the things you are proud of in life such as: journaling, making a list the steps you took to accomplish your goals, and spending time celebrating with loved ones. [36:40] - Komal shares her most important lesson: the importance of cultivating, accepting and learning that you are worthy of being celebrated. That the things that you have accomplished and all the things you did to get you there are worthy of celebration. I hope you take some time to celebrate yourself this week. You deserve it! “We must learn to take up space, to share our wins, to learn to talk about the details, the money. To hold back is not only detrimental to you, but people that could be inspired by you. Imagine all the people you could inspire just by celebrating how far you’ve come. People want to see other people win, people want to be inspired by the people around them. Give them the opportunity. You are worthy of celebration.” - Komal Minhas, Episode 34 of the Lessons Learned Podcast. To submit a lesson to be discussed on the show, or to submit a potential guest, visit: www.komal.com .
