The Hard Truth About Going Vegan No One Wants to Admit ft. Josie Clemens

What happens when your identity, your career, and your beliefs collide?

In this conversation, Josie Clemens shares the real story behind her journey, from growing up with a deep spiritual curiosity to becoming a chef, walking away from everything she built, and redefining what it means to live in alignment.

We explore:

• The moment she realized changing her environment wasn’t enough to find peace

• What it actually takes to question your identity and start over

• The hidden cost of lifestyle change, and why it’s more than just food

• Her unexpected path to Hell’s Kitchen and the moral tension behind that decision

• A powerful perspective on impact vs. personal integrity that challenges the way we think about change

• Why building a peaceful, intentional life starts from within, not from external success

This is a conversation about more than plant-based living.

It’s about identity, purpose, and the courage to step into uncomfortable spaces to create real change.
