024: The Vegan Creative: Writing with Intention with Madeleine Eno

One powerful way to spread the vegan message is through writing—whether it's books, blogs, or social media posts. Writing allows individuals to share their personal journeys, educate others on the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle, and inspire change. In the latest episode of the Veganpreneur REVOLUTION Podcast, hosts Kathleen Gage and VLynn Hawkins dig into the personal and professional journey of Madeleine Eno. With a background rich in creativity and spirituality, Madeleine shares how her vegan lifestyle has influenced her work and creativity, especially in the realm of writing.

Discovering Veganism

Madeleine Eno's journey into veganism began approximately a decade ago. Triggered by a message received during meditation, Madeleine felt an unexpected nudge to give up meat. This decision led her to an unforgettable vegan potluck in Los Angeles, hosted by a plant-based chef and consultant at Whole Foods. This experience, filled with vibrant, colorful dishes, opened her eyes to the abundance and creativity possible within a vegan lifestyle.

The Spiritual and Creative Connection

For Madeleine, adopting a vegan diet was not just about the food; it was about enhancing her creativity and spiritual practice. She believes that the clarity and presence gained from a plant-based diet have been instrumental in her work, allowing her to connect more deeply with her clients. By removing distractions such as alcohol and processed foods, she has found a greater ability to be present and focused.

COVID-19 and the Shift in Perspective

The pandemic brought significant changes for many, and Madeleine was no exception. Living in a cabin in the woods, she found solace and creativity in her surroundings. The lockdown period heightened her awareness of food stewardship, leading to innovative and resourceful cooking with the ingredients she had on hand. This period also underscored the importance of being a good steward of resources, something that resonated deeply with her vegan values.

Integrating Veganism into Professional Life

Madeleine's vegan lifestyle subtly influences her professional life. While she doesn't aggressively promote her dietary choices, the principles of veganism—compassion, health, and mindfulness—naturally permeate her work. Her clients often discover her vegan lifestyle as they work together, leading to enriching conversations and shared values.
