Welcome to Kitchen Conversations

Time for a Conversation

Some of life's most meaningful conversations happen in the kitchen.

It's where recipes are shared, stories are passed down, friendships are nurtured, and wisdom is exchanged. It's where we laugh, cry, celebrate, heal, and sometimes discover that we're not as alone as we thought.


Kitchen Conversations was born from the belief that food brings people together, but conversation nourishes the soul.

Hosted by Broadway veteran, entrepreneur, and founder of PAUSE by BBRAXTON™, Brenda Braxton, alongside chef and culinary storyteller Bahiyah Hibah, this podcast invites guests to pull up a chair and join us at the table for honest, inspiring, and often surprising conversations about life after 40.

Together, we'll explore topics including menopause, wellness, travel, caregiving, relationships, purpose, reinvention, entrepreneurship, culture, and finding joy in every season of life. Along the way, Bahiyah will share delicious recipes, practical culinary wisdom, and nourishing ideas that support health and well-being.


Whether you're navigating a major life transition, caring for loved ones, building something new, or simply looking for inspiration, Kitchen Conversations offers a welcoming space where every story matters and every voice has a seat at the table.


So pour yourself a cup of tea, gather your ingredients, and join us.

Because sometimes the most important thing we can do is pause, connect, and have a conversation.

Welcome to Kitchen Conversations.
Where food feeds the body and conversation feeds the spirit.

Our Philosophy

At Kitchen Conversations, we believe that some of life's most meaningful moments happen around the table. Food has a unique way of bringing people together, opening hearts, inspiring laughter, and creating space for honest conversation.

Our philosophy is simple: nourish the body, nurture the spirit, and celebrate every season of life. Through delicious recipes, thoughtful discussions, and authentic storytelling, we create a welcoming place where women can connect, learn, grow, and find joy in the journey.

Whether we're talking about wellness, menopause, relationships, caregiving, travel, reinvention, or simply sharing a great meal, we believe every conversation has the power to heal, inspire, and remind us that we're never alone.

Because when we gather, share, and listen, something beautiful happens.

Keep your Joy

Perimenopause and menopause can bring unexpected changes—hot flashes, sleepless nights, shifting emotions, changing bodies, and moments when you barely recognize yourself. It's easy to become so focused on managing symptoms that you forget something equally important: your joy.

At Kitchen Conversations, we believe joy is not a luxury—it's a necessity. Joy helps us navigate challenges, reconnect with ourselves, and remember that this season of life is not an ending, but an evolution.

Whether it's sharing a meal with friends, laughing until your sides hurt, discovering a new passion, traveling somewhere you've always wanted to go, or simply taking a moment to breathe and appreciate where you are, joy is an essential part of wellness.

Our mission is to remind women that even in the midst of change, there is still beauty, purpose, adventure, and delight to be found.

Because menopause is not about losing yourself.

It's about rediscovering yourself—and keeping your joy along the way.

Feeding the soul

Good food nourishes the body, but meaningful connection nourishes the soul.

At Kitchen Conversations, we believe that wellness is about more than what we eat. It's about laughter shared across a table, stories exchanged between friends, lessons learned through life's challenges, and moments that remind us who we are.

Through heartfelt conversations, delicious recipes, and authentic experiences, we create space for women to slow down, reconnect, and fill their lives with purpose, gratitude, and joy.

Because sometimes the most nourishing thing we can do is gather, listen, share, and simply be present.

That's how we feed the soul.
