1KHO 692: Get Your Hopes Up | Danielle Kartes, You Were Always There

The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast

Danielle Kartes is back—and this time, she’s walking into the pressure cooker of Next Level Chef. Filmed in Ireland, judged by Gordon Ramsay, and completely outside her comfort zone, this season marks a stunning new chapter for a woman who once lost everything she thought defined her life. In this episode, Danielle shares the long road that led here: a failed restaurant, years of financial uncertainty, a marriage that nearly didn’t survive, and the slow, holy work of rebuilding from the ground up. We talk about motherhood, faith, perseverance, and why you don’t actually lose yourself in hard seasons. This is a conversation for anyone in the middle of an “ugly” chapter who needs permission to hope again and courage to keep going.

Explore Danielle’s books and recipes at https://rusticjoyfulfood.com and grab a copy of her memoir You Were Always There , or The Best Kids Cookbook, or Meant to Share (or all three!)
