A Recipe for Resilience in Challenging Times—with Maria Costanzo Palmer - EP240

If you’re living through a challenging time, it may feel like this is the end of your story.

But Maria Costanzo Palmer contends that the most beautiful part of a tiger is their stripes.

And living through difficulty is how you earn those stripes and develop the resilience it takes to be successful.

Maria is the coauthor of the 2021 Page Turner Award Finalist On the Rocks: The Primadonna Story, a book about the rise and fall of her father, an A-List restauranteur.

Maria is also a successful food influencer, hosting 30,000 monthly visitors on her social media pages, where she features recipes and shares her life working in the family restaurant business.

On this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Maria joins Anjel to share her experience growing up in the family restaurant and describe how her father made The Primadonna one of the premiere Italian restaurants in the nation.

Maria explains why her father lost his restaurant and how she started writing On the Rocks to help her dad remember better times.
