Keeping It Kosher with Jewish Food Blogger and Influencer Melinda Strauss

This week, we chatted with Melinda Strauss, an amazing Modern Orthodox health coach, podcaster, influencer, and business coach who turned her passion for food blogging into a thriving career. She grew up in Seattle and currently lives in New York with her husband and family. We kick off the episode chatting about what being modern Orthodox even means, a topic that Melinda regularly explains to her audience on Tik Tok. Like Jori and Abby, Melinda also attended Yeshiva University’s Stern College, and told us all her NYC college experience. She went on to tell us about how she got into food blogging and health coaching in the first place. As a current health coach at OPTAVIA, she explains how the program works for participants. She’s all about planning in advance when it comes to your health journey. She shares her favorite Shabbat food and guilty pleasure snacks, which obviously had us drooling. She gave us more insight into her Tik Tok account, where she educates her followers about antisemitism and modern Orrhodox Judaism. Both Jews and non-Jews alike have a whole lot of questions, and Melinda is thrilled to answer them. Finally, she explains how she balances everything along with being a mom. She claims that she’s not always the perfect mom, but she regularly works on communication and compromise with her children.
