Welcome back, Vedge Your Bestie!

This week’s episode is for anyone who has ever felt like going plant-based or vegan is just "one more way to fail." If that thought has crossed your mind, you are not alone. I hear from so many of you—some who aren’t seriously considering veganism (yet) but still tune in, and others who struggle with consistency or navigating family and social situations.

Today, I share insights from a recent conversation that illuminated a common mindset block: the feeling of falling short—whether in personal goals, projects, or shifting toward a plant-based lifestyle.

In This Episode, We Talk About:

Why struggling doesn’t mean failure—it’s actually proof that you care deeply.
The all-or-nothing thinking trap and how to redefine success in a way that works for you.
How fear of change often masks a deeper fear of added responsibility.
Practical, small shifts that make plant-based eating feel more like freedom than restriction.
How to move past procrastination and self-judgment in any area of life—veganism included!

If you’ve ever worried that trying to go vegan (or even more plant-based) would just be another thing to struggle with, take a deep breath. This isn’t a pass/fail test—it’s a practice, a journey, and a way to align your values with your daily choices one step at a time.

What’s one small, sustainable step you can take this week? Maybe it's finding a go-to plant-based meal, responding confidently in social situations, or simply getting curious about how you want to approach this journey.

I’d love to hear from you! What’s one takeaway from this episode that resonated with you? Drop me a DM or tag me on social media!
