Kat Romneos, the creator behind @eatingallofny, joins us to share why she walked away from nearly 70,000 followers and a growing career in food content — and what she learned along the way.
We talk about the early days of pandemic-era dining, the shift from hobby to side hustle, and how partnerships, platform pressure, and nonstop posting turned something joyful into something draining. Kat reflects on what made her content work, why authenticity matters, and what it takes to stay grounded in a space that rewards growth at all costs.
