What if "not enough" action is actually the most powerful thing you can do?

In this episode, Michele reflects on the overwhelm and discouragement that can come with new habits—especially in our 24 hour, performative culture. Drawing inspiration from her 30-day Substack challenge (How You Go Vegan Is How You Do Everything) and psychotherapist Britt Frank’s work on the intention-action gap, Michele unpacks what it means to show up imperfectly.

Whether you're trying to go vegan, declutter, write, start a side hustle or a plant-based business, this episode is your reminder that not-zero counts—and over time that compounds.

You’ll hear:

• Why comparison culture steals your motivation before you begin
  

• How Britt Frank’s nervous-system approach reframes “procrastination”
  

• The power of default wins and quiet persistence
  

• Why September feels like a New Year, and how to prepare with “not-zero” actions now
  

• A plant-based challenge to carry you from August into autumn
