I was catching up with friends a few days ago in a Soho pub when I was asked a peculiar question.
It was a pleasant but not particularly unique West End pub and everyone around the table was friendly. It was a good time with laughter and socialising. Not unlike hundreds or thousands of social situations I’ve experienced.
And then I was asked by a non-vegan, “If you found out you only had a year to live, would you eat meat for the final year of your life?”.
The latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong) is a jam packed conversation with topics swinging wildly all over the place!
Josh and I chat about taking supplements as a vegan and debate if they do anything or if it all just a scam. This includes a somewhat factual discussion on lanolin and why it isn’t suitable for vegans.
We also chat about the performances we saw from Coachella 2025 and the concept of TV show Glee being cursed.

Episode 39 already? Wow! How time flies when your creating a low-effort DIY podcast with your ex-partner who is still one of your best friends.
In this latest episode, Josh and I talk about the culture of toxic masculinity with special attention given to misogynists masquerading as influencers. I hate to say their names but people like Russell Brand and Andrew Tate.

I’ve just realised something both hilarious and heartwarming.
My first ever Instagram post was made all the way back on 27 May, 2013. That means I have been faffing about on the app for nearly 12 years. A dozen years of food pics, community updates, bad choices, and thankfully not too many selfies.
But here is the twist. My blog actually started in December 2010. That is two and a half years of vegan ramblings online before I ever even thought to open the Instagram app. Why did it take me so long?
Keep reading to see the extremely average photo that started it all.
I have said it before and I will most definitely say it many, many more times.
Veganism is more than what we eat.
While plant-based eating gets the most attention, a comprehensive and effective vegan lifestyle is about living in a way that seeks to avoid harm to animals in all areas of life.
Starting your vegan journey usually starts for most of us by swapping out meat and dairy, but it is important to acknowledge that compassionate living goes well beyond what is on our plates.
Earlier today, a group of us who organise vegan social events got together for a conversation about something that’s been on our minds for a while.
We care deeply about the community we’ve built and the spaces we co-create, and we know that with that comes a responsibility to make them safer, more welcoming, and free from the harmful patterns we see out in the wider world.
Keep reading below for the full rundown of our conversation.
The podcast this week takes an even more personal turn than usual.
Josh and I chat about our individual struggles with overeating, mental health, trauma, and the reality of turning to medication for help.
It’s not a lighthearted conversation so please go into it prepared. I’d love to hear about your own experiences managing similar issues if you feel comfortable sharing in the comments.

There are some places that mean more than just good food. They become part of your everyday. Your weekend routine. Your community. Black Cat Café in Hackney has been one of those places for me for years.
You can imagine how gutted I was when the vegan café closed for a spell after original team Carla and Nacho made the decision to leave London. For a while, it was unclear what would happen. The shutters came down. The building sat quiet.
