The Vegan Police, Gym Bullies, and Feral Middle-Schoolers with E-Bikes 🚨

Judged for your choices? Terrorized by teenagers on wheels? This one’s for you. This week, I’m talking about why I “walked” the vegan life for a while, what pulled me in, and—more importantly—what pushed me right back out. (Spoiler: it wasn’t the tofu.) Then there’s the comment section hero who informed me we should “leave the fish alone” and stop eating anything with a pulse.From there, we slide straight into the gym—where the all‑or‑nothing crowd loves to mock beginners like it’s a sport. And because the universe loves a theme, I wrap it all up with a real‑time suburban fever dream involving feral middle‑schoolers on e‑bikes who apparently believe they run the streets after dark.NOTE: This podcast was originally named Finally Thriving and Seriously Irritated.
