312: Vegan Certainty Principle
from Vedge Your Best, Vegan Ideas for Everyone At Any Age · host Michele Olender
How much certainty does your vegan practice actually need? It’s hard to know what being vegan will look like until you get tarted. My job is to help you “stay in the game” long enough to get some traction, gain some skills and have some fun.After Episode 309 on having a "Plan B," many of you reached out.. Turns out none of us is simply "comfortable" or "uncomfortable" with uncertainty. The unknowns that barely register for one person can take up enormous space for another — and two people with the very same goal may need completely different kinds of support.In this episode:Your "uncertainty profile" — and why knowing yours changes everythingTwo kinds of Plan B: logistical (what will I actually eat?) and emotional (what will I tell myself when it's hard?)Two ideas from Simone Stolzoff's new book How to Not Know: the certainty anchor, and building small experiments in order to learnWhy one-size-fits-all advice ("prepare more!" "be flexible!") misses the real problem — and how coaching finds itThe Best-Case-Scenario Audit: a four-question exercise to try this weekThe four audit questions:What has to go right for my current plan to work?Which part of the uncertainty actually bothers me most?Does this problem need better logistics, more emotional resilience, or some of each?What stays true even when the plan changes? (That's your certainty anchor.)Mentioned in this episode:How to Not Know: The Value of Uncertainty in a World That Demands Answers by Simone Stolzoff — https://simonestolzoff.com/how-to-not-knowWhat kind of uncertainty doesn't bother you much — and what kind makes you panicky?
