Hurdling Language Barriers.

"I sometimes wonder what would have happened had my father not insisted on teaching me to read and write in Korean. What would have happened if I hadn't gone vegan, started The Korean Vegan, begun peeling back the layers of my family's history?
 
Where would I be if I'd kept those stories to myself?
 
I rattle the chain between my hands. Let the weight of the horseshoes settle against my palms."
 
New York Times best-selling author and James Beard Award-winner, Joanne Molinaro, celebrates her mom, Sunny, on the occasion of her 75th birthday, and reflects on language barriers and bridges.

Finding Jeju.

"It was daytime, so there were no stars or moon for me to collect, but I took something of Jeju into my heart that day, some secret that Hallas imparted to me with as much slyness as a young girl fluttering away from home to meet her lover at twilight, a secret I could only begin to feel the shape of, even without knowing its name."
 
The Korean Vegan Vegan Podcast returns with stories from Joanne's recent family trip to South Korea's Jeju Island.

I Ran The NYC Marathon!!!

“My knees began to smart and I started to feel “something” in my right hip-flexor–something that reminded me of those cartoons where Elmer Fudd tries to drive a car that literally falls apart with the wheels rolling away and the engine banging out with a “poof.”
 
Joanne recaps her awesome NYC Marathon experience, complete with the weekend nutrition that fueled her race: boiled potatoes, NYC bagels, pizza, ramyeon, and her favorite NYC restaurant. Plus, a nightmarish parting thought…
 
Visit the episode page on The Korean Vegan Website for pictures from the race, and more.

The Power of Words.

"As my brother learned the hard way when he once used the word 'negligee' instead of 'negligent,' it's probably a good idea to know exactly what a word means before you use it."
 
In this week’s episode, Joanne takes a deep dive into the meaning and etymology of words that might require some clarity, at least as they relate to the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East.

Behind Every Great WOMAN...

In this episode, Joanne sits down with two men (Sam Livits, COO of Blogilates / Popflex; and her husband Anthony, GM of The Korean Vegan) to talk about how they've found themselves behind the women who've launched themselves into public facing careers and helmed the prows of their own businesses.

Loneliness.

"[Loneliness] is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, dementia, stroke, depression, anxiety, and premature death. The mortality impact of being socially disconnected is similar to that caused by smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, and even greater than that associated with obesity and physical inactivity." -​U.S. Surgeon General's Advisory (2023)​.
 
This week, Joanne tackles the subject of loneliness and wonders whether she can "fake out" the nation's current epidemic in the same way she tried to outsmart her imposter syndrome.
 
Visit the episode page on The Korean Vegan website for more on the epidemic of loneliness, including pictures and links. Plus, this week's Recipe Inspo, and "What I'm... (Watching, Reading, Wearing)."
