We recently had the chance to connect with Zwena Killikelly and have shared our conversation below.
Good morning Zwena , it’s such a great way to kick off the day – I think our readers will love hearing your stories, experiences and about how you think about life and work. Let’s jump right in? What are you most proud of building — that nobody sees?
I am most proud of building myself. Nobody really sees what goes on behind the scenes unless you tell or show them. Lately I’ve been getting healthy for myself mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. I am beyond proud of myself for building myself up in a way that could be viewed as out of the ordinary in my family. I see that slowly but surely it’s helping me to become a better person for myself all around. So proud of Me !
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hello Everyone!!
My name is Zwena Killikelly, I am a personal chef and owner of Psalmsfood LLC. Psalmsfood LLC is a personal chef service dedicated to providing culinary experiences for others. It’s not just a meal with Psalmsfood, but an entire amazingly crafted experience. This experience allows the souls what we serve to feel special and thought about. As we are rooted in our faith we believe that cooking is not just about ingredients, but serving others as God would. With Love we strive to create an experience what reflect our passions to provide great food and bless others.
Great, so let’s dive into your journey a bit more. What breaks the bonds between people—and what restores them?
In my experience, a person’s mindset can either strengthen or weaken the bonds between people. The way someone thinks doesn’t always align with your personal path or growth. Sometimes, the journey requires you to walk alone for a while. But once you’re off that path, you might find yourself surrounded by people who no longer contribute to your progress.
I’ve learned the importance of being around individuals who are either where I want to be or even further ahead. Lately, I’ve been more intentional about applying this. Being in alignment with people who share my mindset has done far more for my personal growth than staying connected to those who added no value to my life or mindset.
So in a way, your mindset either strengthens or breaks bonds. Loving people where they are can definitely help maintain a connection, but you also have to recognize when it’s time to let go especially if that person isn’t making any effort to grow for themselves.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
There have been many times when I almost gave up. In the beginning, I found myself constantly comparing my journey to other chefs and entrepreneurs. I used to measure my progress against theirs, which only made the path feel heavier. But over time, I’ve grown and matured. I’ve come to understand that everyone has their own unique path, their own purpose, and their own people to reach.
I’ve realized I’m not in competition with anyone. For me, it’s now about building others up, edifying and loving those around me. Every time I’ve prayed and considered walking away, God has sent someone often a complete stranger to speak life into me. Their words would lift me up and give me just enough strength to keep going.
I am deeply grateful for those people the ones who see something in me, even when I can’t. They are the reason Psalmsfood continues to grow. They carry the vision and mission, even when things feel uncertain or unclear.
Thank you to those beautiful souls. You have no idea how much you’ve poured into me
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. Whom do you admire for their character, not their power?
I truly admire anyone who understands their mission and purpose in life and boldly goes after it. There’s something powerful about having the character to show up with integrity in every situation, especially when life gets challenging.
I’m inspired by those who choose to respond with God’s character, regardless of what’s happening around them. People who have the power to act out, but instead choose grace and kindness toward others that kind of self-control is rare and deeply admirable.
I admire those who stand firm in their beliefs and values, never compromising their morals for convenience or approval. It’s not about one person, there are many who embody these traits. But I hold deep respect for those who strive to become their best selves not for validation from others, but out of a genuine desire to grow for themselves .And in doing so, they naturally inspire those around them. To me, that’s a truly beautiful and admirable way to live
Thank you so much for all of your openness so far. Maybe we can close with a future oriented question. If you laid down your name, role, and possessions—what would remain?
If I laid down my name, my role, and all my possessions, I would still remain. None of those things have ever defined my identity.
I would still be the caring, loving, God-fearing woman that people know me to be. I’d still be the bubbly Zwena learning, growing, and evolving each day. I’d still be the woman who values quality time, who loves watching podcasts, and who’s always seeking to understand herself on a deeper level.
I would still be Zwena the one who asks herself the hard questions so that new seeds can be planted and real growth can happen. I’d still be the woman who dreams of seeing future generations do better than she did sparing them from the things she had to heal from in adulthood.
I would still be Zwena Killikelly an ever-evolving soul, becoming better not just for herself, but for everyone around her.
