Episode summary
In this updated re-release of my very first episode, I share how a shy kid from a small Massachusetts town learned to make life happen with intention. I talk about early plant based instincts, an autoimmune wake up call, years of great but not quite aligned careers, motherhood, a move to Shanghai that reawakened my curiosity, the reality of menopause and midlife change, and the turning point that led me to build Plant Powered Collective. You will hear how food and lifestyle foundations helped me rebuild trust, purpose, and confidence, and how they can support you too.
What you will learn
- Why bio individuality matters and how simple plant forward meals can change energy, clarity, and focus
- The difference between nourishment on the plate and around the plate
- How to release perfection and return to supportive habits again and again
- The midlife mindset shift that turns setbacks into starting points
- Small steps you can take this week to feel better now
Timestamps
- 00:00 Intro and why this is a re-release
- 02:00 My story, early plant based choices, and a home that felt unpredictable
- 07:00 Careers that looked right on paper, what felt right as a mom
- 10:00 Shanghai, traditional Chinese medicine, and food as medicine
- 15:00 Back to the United States, COVID studies, and a personal turning point
- 20:00 Defining nourishment on and around the plate
- 25:00 Stepping fully into Plant Powered Collective
- 28:00 Takeaways and your first steps
Key takeaways
- Wellness is not a destination, it is a practice of coming back to your foundations
- Confidence grows after action, not before
- Food that loves you back, plus rest, movement, stress care, connection, and a low tox home, creates steady change
- You are worthy of care, visibility, and love at every age
