About this episode
<p>Hey Babe, what’s for (vulnerabili)tea?</p> <p>💌 subscribe to our newsletter, <em>my imperfect email,</em> here - <a href="http://bit.ly/4lMOdTj">http://bit.ly/4lMOdTj</a></p> <p>Andy Hearnden, better known for his online moniker Andy Cooks, is a professional chef and home cook extraordinaire, with more YouTube and TikTok followers than the population of a small country.</p> <p>Joining us in the Vulnerabilitea House, Andy answers the question, “what’s been your biggest failure and how was it good or bad for you?”</p> <p>Imitating the behaviour of others around him, alcohol became a normal part of Andy’s daily routine, and eventually, his identity. Andy opens up to Hugh, Ryan and Josh about the non-linear nature of his sobriety journey, and the incredible support of his partner Katelyn (Babe).</p> <p>As a garnish, Andy chats to Ry about breaking the cycle of poor people management, and learning how to become a leader.</p> <p>Andy, you can cook (or chat) with us anytime.</p> <p>To watch this full episode on YouTube, click here - <a href="https://youtu.be/Pq8iKXWIfGA">https://youtu.be/Pq8iKXWIfGA</a> </p> <p>🫖 Other Imperfects episodes mentioned in this episode</p> <ul> <li>Ben Shewry (Pt 1) - The Other Side of Excellence - <a href="https://apple.co/4hhc2RB">https://apple.co/4hhc2RB</a></li> <li>Ben Shewry (Pt 2) - How The Chef Was Made - <a href="https://apple.co/48hrQiQ">https://apple.co/48hrQiQ</a></li> <li>Ben Shewry - Making It Right (And Delicious) - <a href="https://bit.ly/4jPHq9F">https://bit.ly/4jPHq9F</a></li> </ul> <p>📖 Things to read</p> <ul> <li>The Cookbook, by Andy Cooks - <a href="https://bit.ly/3UIB161">https://bit.ly/3UIB161</a></li> </ul> <p>💻Things to check out</p> <ul> <li>Andy Cooks - YouTube - <a href="https://bit.ly/4okLSRk">https://bit.ly/4okLSRk</a></li> </ul> <p>🩷To host your own Vulnerabilitea House, purchase the Vulnerabilitea House Cards here - <a href="https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP">https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP</a></p> <p>🩵To purchase our journal (or your novel) <em>My Imperfect Life,</em> click here - <a href="https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP">https://bit.ly/3Cx4tGP</a></p> <p>🩵To join our patreon community, <em>A Little More Imperfects,</em> follow this link - <a href="http://patreon.com/theimperfects">patreon.com/theimperfects</a></p> <p>🩷 AND you can subscribe to <em>A Little More Imperfects</em> through Apple Podcasts too, here <a href="http://apple.co/theimperfects">apple.co/theimperfects</a></p> <p>The Imperfects is not a licensed mental health service and is not a substitute for professional mental health advice, treatment or assessment.
