Camille May | Model Meals - Bootstrapping An Exit Modeling how to live and eat cleaner Our mission at Model Meals is to transform the current American food system by providing clean, locally-sourced, ready-made meals and clean eating advice. After changing her diet through the Whole30 Challenge in 2014, Model Meals' co-founder Danika Brysha felt very strongly that nourishing food could change the world. She started cooking and delivering meals around NYC from her studio apartment, digging herself into debt and eventually moving into her parents' garage in Southern California to get her feet back on the ground. In 2015, Danika teamed up with college friend, Camille May, to formally launch Model Meals in Santa Ana, CA, where they organically grew their business to what it is today. Danika and Camille have both experienced how hard it can be to prioritize eating healthy against the backdrop of a food system that makes it inconvenient, and confusing. After experiencing the transformative effects food had on their lives, they knew that if they could make eating this way convenient and delicious, they could help to create a happier and healthier world. Camille and Danika bootstrapped their business, growing annual revenues to over $3M before being acquired in July 2021 by Home Bistro, a publicly traded food company for whom Camille now serves as CFO. About Camille: Camille is the co-founder of Model Meals, a paleo food business launched in 2015 after she experienced the transformative effect clean eating had on her overall well-being. She and her co-founder bootstrapped the business, growing annual revenues to over $3M before being acquired in July 2021 by Home Bistro, a publicly traded food company for whom Camille now serves as CFO. She currently resides in her hometown of Austin, TX with her 80-pound pit bull, Romeo, and enjoys spending time with her family, drinking mezcal, traveling to Africa, and all things health & wellness. --- This episode is sponsored by Brex: Brex is the all-in-one financial toolkit for every scaling business.

Welcome to July 31st, 2022 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the extraordinary deeds of an ordinary breed and a mighty fruit.  No one is really sure how the scruffy little dog named Owney came to be at a post office in Albany, NY. He just showed up one day and became a part of the team. People speculate that Owney was attracted to the smell of the leather mail bags, which he even followed onto trucks and trains! Soon he was escorting mail carriers all around the state and the country. At each new location, the workers would add a tag to his collar, marking his travels. Owney collected so many tags that the Postmaster General ordered him a custom harness to wear instead of the collar. The little mutt was given his own special memorial in the Smithsonian Institution for his service to the U.S. Postal Service. On National Mutt Day, celebrate the ordinary breeds that find a special place in our hearts. While the Aztecs knew the power of the mighty green avocado, it took a modern company to put this fruit on the map. Model Meals founded National Avocado Day in 2017 and since then we have discovered lots of reasons to celebrate. For one, avocados target insulin resistance with heart healthy fats. They also fight Alzheimers with their Omega 3 fatty acids. Another avocado superpower is preventing and repairing damage with its source of Vitamins C, E and K. Best of all avocados taste great in guacamole, sliced over a salad and topping off a burger or chicken sandwich. And if you're not a huge fan, you can still celebrate National Avocado Day by slipping some into a smoothie. I'm Anna Devere and I'm John McClain filling in for Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Meet DanikaDanika Brysha is a wellness entrepreneur, body-positive fashion model, and life coach. Looking at her success today, you could say that Danika epitomizes the spirit of “Making it Happen.” But it wasn't until after realizing that starting a business might be the only way for her to survive financially that Danika founded Model Meals and began making the positive changes that got her to where she is today. On this episodeDanika talks with Katie and Jenny about:How hard times gave her clarity in her career pathThe driving forces that got her to where she is todayHow she dealt with debt

What's the secret to manifesting your dreams? Here's a clue: it almost never happens in the ways we think it will. Contrary to what we think, we actually get in our own way when we get attached to ‘how' it's going to happen. The answer? We need to get rid of the hows and just commit to where we want to go. But balancing surrender with intentional action is no easy task, so we're breaking it down to help get you closer to your dreams and goals, both in business and in life! My guest today is Danika Brysha, the founder and CEO of Model Meals (a healthy meal delivery business), a self-care coach, the creator of The Brunch Series wellness events and 2018 US tour, and an IMG Curve Model. All of her businesses are Danika's way of giving back after her own personal transformation. For most of her life Danika suffered with an eating disorder that led her to some extremely dark places of self-hatred and destructive habits. After hitting the bottom mentally, emotionally, physically, and financially, Danika healed through a variety of tools, which she now shares with thousands of women all over the country.  Her work will only continue to help empower more and more women know that they, too, can live a life of their dreams!   What you'll learn in this episode: Why it's actually selfish NOT to practice self-care! Danika's self-care checklist and how to use microtasks and teeny everyday habits that support your identity (rather than focusing on results and feeling guilt and shame for not achieving or doing) How to know when your spiritual connection and intuition is blocked, and what to do to change your inner dialogue and manifest the career and life of your dreams How to give yourself permission to truly follow what feels good The importance of profit vs. revenue and paying yourself   Subscribe and Review Thanks so much for joining me this week.

This Mighty Might Earned A Place In The Smithsonian! Welcome to July 31st, 2021 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate the extraordinary deeds of an ordinary breed and a mighty fruit.  Nobody's really sure how Owney, a scruffy little dog, came to be at a post office in Albany, NY. But one day he just started showing up and became a part of the team. People speculate that Owney was attracted to the smell of the leather mail bags, which he would follow around, including onto trucks and trains! Soon he was escorting mail carriers all around the state and the country. At each new location, the workers would add a tag to his collar, marking his travels. Owney collected so many tags that the Postmaster General ordered him a custom harness to wear instead of the collar. He became so important to the US Postal Service that the little mutt was given his own special memorial in the Smithsonian Institution. On National Mutt Day, celebrate the ordinary breads that find a special place in our hearts. While the Aztecs knew the power of the mighty green avocado, it took a modern company to put this fruit on the map.  Model Meals founded National Avocado Day in 2017 and since then we have discovered lots of  reasons to celebrate. For one, avocados target insulin resistance with heart healthy fats. They also fight Alzheimer's with their Omega 3 fatty acids. Another avocado superpower is preventing and repairing damage with its source of Vitamins C, E and K. Best of all avocados taste great in guacamole, sliced over a salad and topping off a burger or chicken sandwich.  And if you're not a huge fan, you can still celebrate National Avocado Day by slipping some into a smoothie. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson.  Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.

The road to sorting our shit out is paved with discipline and abandon, and that’s seen clearly in Danika Brysha. In living through some of the worst things people can experience, she’s found her own personal footprint. She’s the co-founder and lead guide at Self-Care Society, co-founder and CEO of Model Meals, creator of the Brunch Series wellness events and the Self-Care Checklist, and a body-positive fashion model at IMG Models. Her mission, in a nutshell, is to help others to live the fullest and most fulfilling life possible. She believes deeply in the power of self-care systems to stay accountable and consistent, and that in order to reach our dreams and care for others, we have to start with ourselves. Through her journey of recovery from food and body issues, excessive alcohol and drug use, deep debt, and an overall lack of confidence and purpose, Danika uses her own experience to help others transform and thrive.

When I first met Danika Brysha, I only knew that she was the CEO of Model Meals, a meal-delivery service of healthy, delicious food beloved by my former client, Amy Porterfield. We met because we’re in Kate Northrup’s mastermind together and I instantly understood that this was a woman who is up to big things. I love that she values freedom as much as I do, even though we’re also the kind of people who have 5 million ideas at a time… which kinda eats into that freedom. Creating the structure necessary to support freedom is something we’re both working on. And creating partnerships out in the world… actually starts with your own relationship with your body and your own self. I was so excited to talk to Danika about her geniusness around self care, creating partnerships, and running several companies while living a full life.

What’s the secret to manifesting your dreams? Here’s a clue: it almost never happens in the ways we think it will. Contrary to what we think, we actually get in our own way when we get attached to ‘how’ it’s going to happen. The answer? We need to get rid of the hows and just commit to where we want to go.

You are in for a real treat today because, as a Christmas gift from me to you, I’m sharing one of the biggest and most thorough episodes I’ve ever released. Ben Greenfield came over to my house and we went through every single supplement, smart drug, nootropic, herb, and biohack on the entire property. We then turned this into a full-length documentary film and this monster of a podcast. I learned so much from Ben while we did this, and there is just so much valuable information packed into this episode. I am really happy with how it all came together and I am stoked to finally be sharing it with all of you! I’ve been asked on multiple occasions how we can live our lives without either moving into the middle of nowhere or sacrificing some aspect of our physical, mental, and emotional health. Well, here you go — the complete biohacker’s guide to living an optimal life in the city in 2020. Kitchen Supplements...

EYH – Ep. 165 – Danika Brysha – Surrender your way to success and become a magnet for your dreams   Today’s guest, Model Meals Founder and CEO, Danika Brysha, may look a little familiar to some of you as she’s been a part of several campaigns as a plus-size/curve model for big names such as Target and Old Navy. While she has a successful modeling career now, it was winding road to get there.   From a young age, Danika continually struggled to feel that she was enough when it came to her body. Growing up in the era of the size double-zero, she focused on her weight for more than a decade of her life. This fixation eventually reached its breaking point when it led to bulimia and dental issues.   Wanting to take care of her body better, Danika stopped throwing up but turned to drugs to keep the weight at bay. This went on for quite some time until she graduated college in the television industry and had had it with her body image struggle. She let go and let herself settle into where her body naturally fell (about a size 12/14). She was soon approached by an agent who suggested that she get into plus-size modeling. After signing with an agency and moving out to New York, her modeling career took off, but she soon hit another snag.   Wanting to start off the New Year (a new career and move, too) renewed, she tried the Whole30 meal plan. She was blown away by her results and not only did she lose 15 pounds, but she was amazed at how much clarity she had and how amazing she felt. Her plus-size modelings clients didn’t agree and she started to lose modeling gigs. As a way to earn money, Danika offered to help people in New York City eat cleaner by making meals for them. This side-business went well, but she still wasn’t able to make ends meet.   It wasn’t long before Danika moved back to California where she grew up and moved into her parents’ garage. This was a serendipitous moment, however as it led to the eventual launch pf Model Meals with a friend and Danika has since signed with a new modeling agency.   Danika’s journey of self-love is one of several ups and downs, but instead of fighting against them she’s learned to surrender and use her own feelings as a guide through them. Her story is so relatable and there’s something that everyone can take away from it. I hope you enjoy our conversation as much I did. --   Questions Asked in This Episode: How did you get your start with modeling and eventually Model Meals? Was there a defining moment when you decided to stop fighting with yourself about your body? Is there something you do now or tap into when you’re feeling stressed? What did you feel like when you did your first Whole30? If you don’t eat well, do you find that it affects how you feel and work? What does your meditation practice look like? What is a future bio? What is the book you’re writing about? What does it look like for you to surrender? What has been the most challenging thing that you’ve had to walk away from in order to become who you are? And many more.   In This Episode We Talk about: Danika’s journey with her weight and finally feeling enough just the way she is Why food isn’t the problem rather our addiction to it The power of changing what you eat – for your body and brain The importance of knowing where your food is sourced from The power of manifestation Why we must surrender and let go for self-growth The importance of acknowledging and processing our feelings The therapeutic benefits of writing And so much more…   Quotes:   “I get to do what I love every day and that’s all that matters.”   “Food wasn’t the problem. It was that I used it as my drug.”   “We get so used to eating our normal diet that we never know there’s an alternative.”   “It’s selfish if we don’t do the self-work to tune in and figure out what our gift is.”   “The way to manifest your life is to feel the feelings first and the physical catches up.”   “A series of great days equals a great life.”   “Trust your feelings, not your surroundings.” -- Danika Brysha is an IMG Curve Model and the founder and CEO of Model Meals, a healthy meal delivery business. With a passion for personal growth and positive transformation, Danika sees food as the most valuable medicine available, and as an essential tool in fueling the body, mind, and soul, to build our best possible life.  After nearly two decades of disordered eating, Danika used nutritious food, mindfulness, and an essential daily self-care routine, to heal herself and to build the business and life of her dreams. Danika helps others to do the same by providing resources like Model Meals that make a healthy diet easy and accessible, and through the sharing of knowledge and experience provided in her coaching practice, retreats, digital media, and more. Danika also uses her platform as a curve model to help women rethink the traditional notion that beauty has only one shape and size.      Resources:   modelmeals.com Use code EARNYOURHAPPY and new clients will receive $25 off on their first order.

A recovered bulimic, binge eater, and food/sugar addict, Danika turned her worst enemy (food) into her most powerful medicine.

Danika’s ultimate goal in life is to help others achieve their highest level of happiness, to help them find what their unique contribution is to this world, and to start living it.

Her story has inspired thousands of women who are struggling with loving their body, their relationship with food and addiction, and transforming their lives. Danika shares her story, which starts at a young age, battling drug usage, fad chronic dieting, and being "the chubby girl", using her food to process her emotions.

Needless to say, she took her insecurities and built a life for herself off of them. Some of the most useful food/body tips you'll ever hear from this episode are:   drop the FOOD RULES the answer to losing weight is "NOT trying to lose weight" it's never about the food, it's about YOU (your childhood, you mentality about yourself growing up, specific circumstances you were under) don't waste your energy on worrying about food, worry about YOUR DREAMS it's about how you FEEL after you eat food how much the MEDIA REALLY INFLUENCES the way you think about yourself
