Struggling to turn your words + FOODways
into dependable income?

there's classic, established recipes for this.

Let's map a micro-economy
that honors your heritage

while funding your freedom.

Experimenting, sharing, and feeding your people is it.

But no one taught you how to turn those stories, recipes, and cultural knowledge into sustainable income streams -
especially when you're trying to honor tradition while building something new.

Maybe you could care less about tech, or you'd much rather be sourcing fresh calamansi than tinkering with the backend of a complex business. 

Perhaps you're just ready to turn your foodways into a lifestyle that feeds you and your family fully.

You've already seen how complex this can get, and have begun implementing the myriad of models that seem like they might fit. And it's a bit of a mess.

It doesn't have to feel scattered. You can go all in, without distracting from what you really do.

You know how to tell a story through food.

You're not just building a business
— you're building a legacy.


 You're preserving traditions, teaching your children,
AND MAKING REAL money BY serving your community.


That's a lot to hold, and there isn't really time to figure out 
how to be a food blogger and social media manager.


COME, SIT AT our TABLE.

Feeling scattered across too many projects? Unsure which income stream to prioritize? Wondering how to price your cultural knowledge without undervaluing it OR pricing people out?

Sometimes we're too close to our own work to see what's actually working (and what's quietly draining us).

During this strategy intensive, we'll map out your dream micro*economy — from your Substack to your cottage industries to your course dreams to your community offerings — and create a clear, soulful plan that honors ALL of it without overwhelming you.

YOU'LL LEAVE WITH:

A visual map of your current and potential income streams.

Clarity on which projects deserve your energy RIGHT NOW.

A pricing strategy that respects your values AND your worth.

Next steps for the project that will move the needle most.

Permission to release what's not serving you.

TOGETHER, we'll map your micro-economy and co*create your personalized income roadmap.

~ esene, DOMINiCAN VEGAN Home Cooking & Food Memory


"I was so stuck on pricing. How do you charge for recipes your grandmother made freely? How do you make your cultural knowledge accessible without devaluing it? Maya helped me see that honoring my heritage INCLUDES cultural preservation -by sustaining myself so I can keep teaching. We created a pricing model with sliding scale access that feels aligned with my values. I now sell party tray bundles and charge $447 for my course with a 'pay what you can' option starting at $97. I'm making money AND keeping it accessible. Our time together changed everything."

"She understood the ancestral weight I was WEARing."

~ MALIA, ʻōlala Baker, foodways teacher, & writer

"I came to the call doing seven different things—Substack, the food cart, farmers markets, teaching workshops, planning a course—and feeling guilty that none of them were 'big enough.' In 60 minutes, Mai helped me see that my micro-economy IS the strategy, not the problem. We created a roadmap that prioritizes my course launch while keeping my other streams flowing. Three months later, I've made $8K from my first course and our food cart is FINALLY paying my kids for their help. The clarity was worth 10x the investment."

"This TIME gave me permission to do less AND earn more."

~ Tae, Homesteader & Multi-Stream Entrepreneur

"I'm homeschooling, running a micro-bakery with my kids, facilitating a co-op, writing on Substack, AND trying to launch a course. Mai didn't tell me to 'pick one thing'—she helped me see how they all work together. We mapped out a system where my Substack feeds my course, my course content supports my co-op teaching, and my kids' bakery project becomes a case study in my entrepreneurship module. It's all connected now. My income is up 40% and I'm working LESS. Magic."

"our FAMILY IS EVERYTHING, OUR BUSINESS, OUR DAYS, IT'S WHAT WE care about, period."
