You know that feeling. The eighteen-wheeler with the happy cows on the side. The refrigerated aisle. The friend in a barbecue-mascot t-shirt. The sick, furious, grieving, how-is-nobody-else-seeing-this feeling that hits a hundred times a week.

It has a name. And once you name it, you can do something with it.

In this episode I get into what moral injury actually is, why being triggered by that truck is more layered than it looks (hint: part of it is grief for the version of you that didn't know yet), and the small body-based moves I use to keep the energy from getting stuck.

Plus β€” some real optimism about where the movement is, eighteen years in. And a Bob Marley song that's got me smiling.

Then I had two conversations that went surprisingly well β€” one at a dairy booth, one at the library β€” and they reminded me why small, awkward moments matter. This episode is about speaking up even when your voice shakes, finding gentle ways to ask hard questions, and realizing activism doesn’t always look like a protest sign. Sometimes it’s just a conversation.Β

This first episode is me following that feeling and opening the door to something new: a digital fireside for the vegan community I’ve been missing.

I talk about where I’ve been since closing my Cajun vegan restaurant, why this project feels like the next step, and what kind of space I hope to build hereβ€”one rooted in warmth, honesty, and connection.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your vegan journey or unsure what your next creative move should be, this episode is for you.
