Espero me puedan ayudar. Este es el comienzo de la entrevista. Muchas gracias.

Ella vive en conflicto: edita una revista de primera que pocos peruanos compran. Dice no tener apoyo. ¿Por qué sigue entonces? Porque está frita, porque ella vive agradecida a su producto

Because she can take the heat in the kitchen; she gets a lot of pleasure from her work.


Explanation:
The meaning, if I understand your explanation, is that
because she's committed to producing the magazine and enjoys doing that.

I don't know if you can translate it as literally as Michael has and have it make sense. This plays with the old saw: If you can't take the heat, get out of the kitchen.

Because she gets a buzz from it, and because she loves/{believes in} her product


Explanation:
from Collins: estar frito/a = to be excited

"believes in" is a slightly freer translation, but quite idiomatic

Because she's exhausted/fed up and because her product makes life worth living


Explanation:
My experience of the use of "frito/a" (in Spain at least) was to mean "dog tired", "exhausted" or even "dead". Maybe I'm way off the mark here but could they be meaning something like this? I put in "fed up" because it's another definition I just found online in Wordreference (which I hadn't heard before).
