On this week's guest episode, I'm joined by Joanne Lee Molinaro, aka The Korean Vegan, who reveals her journey from courtroom drama to cooking fame. With nearly 5 million followers, she's not just whipping up vegan delights but also running marathons, publishing NYT bestsellers and winning awards (ahem, hello James Beard). Joanne gets real about growing up as a child of North Korean immigrants in suburban Illinois, feeling like an outsider, and why she chose her first career in law. She opens up about her past marriage, sharing how she eventually 'Googled how to stop crying' and found the courage to leave an abusive relationship. Joanne discusses navigating the world of online for the first time at 35, meeting her now-husband, and how going vegan and becoming a marathon runner reshaped her life, turning food from a frenemy to a source of empowerment.
