The Korean Vegan with Joanne Molinaro

Olympic Level Mental Toughness

On the morning she won the Gold Medal in the Individual All-Around competition, Biles started her day by calling her therapist. Mental health doesn’t need to be taboo, whispered behind closed doors. It doesn’t need to be unordinary. In fact, according to one of the greatest athletes in human history, it may be the secret to becoming an extraordinary you.
 
Inspired by Simone Biles and the other extraordinary athletes competing in Paris, Joanne reflects on mental toughness with guest Caroline Burckle, 2008 Olympic Bronze Medalist (swimming).

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…

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.
