SOLO | Plant the Seed: On Veganism, Quiet Influence, and Friends Who Change Everything

Some of Andrea's most inspiring conversations happen outside the co-op in the cold rain. This solo episode started with a new friend, a shared love of veganism, and a plot to put plant-based kids' cookbooks in little free libraries around the neighborhood. From there she gets into something she's been sitting with for a while: why the food-climate connection still isn't landing the way it should, even in her deep sustainability and climate-focused networks. Andrea also shares about what quiet, joy-based influence actually looks like when it works. So, if you've been quietly vegan or plant-based for a while, this one's for you - and please consider getting less quiet (!)
