Susan Lee Hahn, Writer & Creative Collaborator

My story has changed. Seventeen years ago, I was first diagnosed with metastatic breast cancer and underwent surgeries, chemotherapy, and the end of my marriage. I thought I was home free, clear of this pernicious disease. But I was wrong. Just a couple of months ago, I was diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer in my bones, stage four. I’ve also been grappling with a bone marrow mutation for the past couple of years, so now more than ever, it’s crucial to eat a lot of healthy, plant-based foods. I’ve reinvigorated my holistic health journey, from my bone marrow to my soul, and have shifted of many thing in my life, my diet, my inner dialogue, my spiritual practice, and more. As energetic beings inhabiting these flesh-and-bone bodies, we have the opportunity to connect in so many different ways. I find that I lead a happier, healthier, and more vibrant existence when I connect to my own soul and to other people’s souls. I’ve been exploring the care and feeding of the soul through writing novels, meditation, yoga, Tai Chi, Qui Gong, pottery, and other endeavors. Cooking is just one way to celebrate being alive, and everyone has to eat!

Not rocket science recipes. I love to cook and have always had a penchant for messy art projects. I’ve studied plant-based cooking from a variety of sources and have noticed great improvements in my health after switching to organic, plant-based foods and cutting out sugar, ‘the white stuff,’ and dairy. I still eat some fish and eggs. I believe that certain foods and herbs, along with thoughts and creative visualizations can have a positive impact on my body, my energy, and my healing. My hope with the Chakra Chef is that it will help you tap into your body, your energy, and your healing powers.

On a quest to illuminate the soul. I also write novels, short stories, screenplays, and teleplays, which almost always aim to illuminate and empower that inner essence. Call it what you will, the soul, the archetypes, the chakras, or macaroni and cheese, it doesn’t matter! If you’re open to discovering and celebrating your inner essence, my storytelling may be for you. To learn more about my work, please visit SusanLeeHahn.com.

CHAKRA POTTERY

I’m also an avid potter and have a collection of chakra-inspired bowls, which you’ll notice in many of the photos. I’m always happy to sell my work so please message me through my TheChakraChef substack, if you’re interested in purchasing any of it. This is just a fraction of my work!
