Feeling stuck with your vegan or plant-based goals? You're not alone —  it might just be that your problem is too vague for your brilliant brain to solve. This week, Michele shares some behind-the-scenes chaos (hello taxes, travel, and vegan restaurant reservations!) and how it mirrors what many of us experience on our plant-based journey: overwhelm, foggy goals, and spinning our wheels without action.

You can't solve a vague vegan problem. Whether it's “I need to eat better,” “I want to be more consistent,” or “I should cut back on dairy,” vague thoughts won’t move the needle. 

You'll learn:

• Why your brain loves vague problems (and how they keep you stuck)

• The “intention–action gap” and how to bridge it

• How to turn foggy vegan intentions into clear, actionable steps

• Why getting specific is the real vegan superpower in midlife

Plus, Michele shares her “vague”   Paris trip plans and recommends some must-listen music from friends in France.

Mentioned in this episode:

            Lux The Band Find their music on Spotify and follow their updates.

• Cluny Museum – Musée de Cluny – Explore medieval art, including the Lady and the Unicorn tapestries

• Musée Carnavalet – History of Paris – Learn about the history of the city of Paris 

  
  

 This Week’s Challenge:
Identify one vague vegan problem you've been carrying around. Just one. Then rewrite it in a way that makes it stupid simple and solvable. (Need help? Try: “Make lentil soup Sunday” or “Buy oat milk to replace creamer” or “call that seemingly vegan unfriendly restaurant and ask if there are options.")

Let go of fixing everything at once — start by solving one clear problem, and watch the ripple effect.
