Today I’m talking about change, the kind that makes people uncomfortable. I went from being vegan, pescatarian, vegetarian… and now I eat meat again. And the internet definitely had something to say about it. People told me I was “never really vegan,” that I was doing it wrong, or that I betrayed some code I never agreed to in the first place.
This episode isn’t really about food, though. It’s about what happens when you grow, shift, or evolve in a world that loves to put people in boxes. It’s about staying true to yourself when everyone else has an opinion.
If you’ve ever felt judged for changing your mind, or boxed in by other people’s expectations, this one’s for you.
