It’s January. We’re past Quitter’s Day.
And if you’ve ever quietly stopped believing that change is possible—for your health, your habits, or your vegan practice—this episode is for you.

In this re-introduction to Vedge Your Best, Michele shares why most New Year’s resolutions fall apart not because people are lazy or unmotivated, but because they’re using the wrong mindset for change.

This episode explores the powerful shift from outcome-based thinking (“I’ll feel proud when I get there”) to a process-based mindset—and why that shift changes everything, not just when it comes to veganism, but in every area of life.

Drawing on lived experience, behavioral psychology, and a very human understanding of how change actually works, Michele explains why treating veganism as a practice—rather than a pass/fail identity—creates consistency, confidence, and momentum over time.In this episode, we cover:

What “Quitter’s Day” reveals about how most people approach goals
Why big moments rarely create lasting change
The difference between an Outcome Mindset and a Process Mindset
How perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking sabotage progress
Why focusing on systems, habits, and practice calms your nervous system
What’s happening in your brain when you stop chasing results
Why veganism works better as a practice, not a performance
Simple ways to shift your thinking today, without overhauling your life

If you’ve ever:

Started over… again
Felt like you “should” be further along
Given up on goals because they felt exhausting or fragile
Wanted to move in a more plant-based or vegan direction but felt stuck

You’re in the right place.

This episode is an invitation to stop chasing perfect outcomes—and start building a process that actually supports the life you want to live.

Because how you go vegan is how you do everything.
