Fraser opens up about his deep dislike for school and being diagnosed with a learning disability and dyslexia, without receiving support that made sense to him. That lack of clarity led him to believe he couldn’t succeed, and for a long time, he carried the weight of feeling like he wasn’t capable of being “the good student.”</p><p><br></p><p>Everything began to shift when Fraser found cooking, specifically vegan cooking, his whole family is vegan now! While attending culinary school, he discovered not only his passion, but also a version of himself he hadn’t known before: someone who <em>could</em> excel, focus, and thrive when doing something he loved. </p><p><br></p><p>We talk about the success and influence of his younger brother, Eamon of Eamon and Bec, and how, through it all, he’s come to believe that his life is meant to take twists and turns.</p><p><br></p><p>This episode is a gentle reminder that success doesn’t have to be linear, and that passion can change everything.</p><p><br></p><p>🔗 Links from the episode</p><p><a href=\"https://www.frasercooks.com/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">FraserCooks</a></p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbE_ca0MeyaQ9XC-f6oRMgg\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">FraserCooks YouTube</a></p><p><a href=\"https://eamonandbec.com/products/everyday-eats\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Everyday Eats - Eamon &amp; Bec x FraserCooks</a></p><p><br></p><p>❤️ Subscribe to my channel for more</p><p><a href=\"https://www.youtube.com/@SeasonedProfessional\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">YouTube</a></p><p><br></p><p>📲 Find Seasoned Professional on social media!</p><p><a href=\"https://www.instagram.com/seasonedprofessionalpod/?igsh=cTc1NnRzeDVrNXd2&amp;utm_source=qr\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Instagram</a></p><p><br></p><p>Interested in being a guest on the podcast?</p><p><a href=\"https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfYWzEZk2NmfO6ZLBmgtDSYsT8XCpLgIStGls-HJR398zV6pg/viewform\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Click to apply!</a></p><p><br></p><p>See you next Tuesday!</p><p>xx Hannah Octavia</p><p><br></p><p>(Theme music curtesy of Fran Lusty's song, Functioning Adult)</p>","author_name":"Hannah Octavia"}
