“What I do trust now more<br />
than ever though, is my<br />
intuition. I've learned to<br />
turn inward for guidance<br />
before panicking about<br />
something or even day-to-day<br />
situations that require some<br />
deep consideration. I ask<br />
myself for honest feedback:<br />
What does my gut say?”<br />
I read in the book that you weren’t really a<br />
big believer in life purposes. What are your<br />
thoughts about that now?<br />
More so than not believing in life's purposes was<br />
realising I hadn't discovered mine. What I do trust now<br />
more than ever though, is my intuition. I've learned to<br />
turn inward for guidance before panicking about<br />
something or even day-to-day situations that require<br />
some deep consideration. I ask myself for honest<br />
feedback: what does my gut say? Sometimes it's unclear<br />
or clouded by preconceived notions of certain situations.<br />
But I've come to greatly value my intuition and let my<br />
passions lead the way. During the road trip, and since its<br />
conclusion, I've found greater appreciation for the<br />
projects I work on, and the ways in which I spend each<br />
day—aiming to live with greater intention and purpose<br />
as defined by what I enjoy and value vs. what society<br />
says I should enjoy and value.<br />
What kind of feedback have you had from<br />
the book? How has it inspired others?<br />
The book is doing well. The publisher seems to be<br />
pleased with sales and reviews have been largely<br />
positive. The coolest feedback has been hearing about<br />
how others' courage or passions have been reignited<br />
after reading about the journey.<br />
You work now to help other people turn<br />
their passions into careers. What is the one<br />
best piece of advice you give to clients?<br />
Start before you're ready.<br />
What other goals and aspirations do you<br />
have?<br />
I'm currently out on my first-ever book tour,<br />
sponsored by 'More Than Salad' a veg food finder<br />
app. My aim is to make the book tour different from<br />
traditional ones in that I'll be giving my book away<br />
to those who attend. I'm also going to have mini<br />
performances during the tour stops, from local<br />
artists. The goal is to encourage people to use the<br />
$20 they would have spent on the book to instead<br />
buy a meal for someone in need.<br />
As the book tour winds down I'll be focused on<br />
building my business clarity coaching business. I'm<br />
co-hosting a lifestyle retreat next February in Costa<br />
Rica and after that hope to embark on a 2.0 version<br />
of the trip—taking it international. I'd like to spend<br />
2-3 months in one city in a new country, and really<br />
dive into the food culture, community, and <strong>vegan</strong><br />
scene. That until, you now, Ellen calls offering me<br />
the position of a TV show travel host for <strong>vegan</strong> food<br />
spotting around the world! BV<br />
