When not trying new vegan recipes, Chelsea Grey (https://www.linkedin.com/in/cagrey/) is riding her Peloton or tracking her packages. At the time of recording, she was a senior congressional staffer in the House of Representatives, but has now transitioned back to Atlanta with the hopes of continuing her political career.
