I'm not the first person to quit social media, and it's not even my first time. Six months ago, I ran back to Instagram and Facebook, hopeful and optimistic. This morning, I deleted everything—again. This is my quitting manifesto.

I wore a vegan Halloween costume, and people hated it. Then I had two conversations that went surprisingly well — one at a dairy booth, one at the library — and they reminded me why small, awkward moments matter. This episode is about speaking up even when your voice shakes, finding gentle ways to ask hard questions, and realizing activism doesn’t always look like a protest sign. Sometimes it’s just a conversation.

After years away from the restaurant world, I felt a familiar spark again. This first episode is me following that feeling and opening the door to something new: a digital fireside for the vegan community I’ve been missing.

I talk about where I’ve been since closing my Cajun vegan restaurant, why this project feels like the next step, and what kind of space I hope to build here—one rooted in warmth, honesty, and connection.

If you’ve ever felt alone in your vegan journey or unsure what your next creative move should be, this episode is for you.
