    That sick feeling at the grocery store...and how to move through it

    HEADS UP: There are a couple of f-bombs in this one.  You know that feeling. The eighteen-wheeler with the happy cows on the side. The refrigerated aisle. The friend in a barbecue-mascot t-shirt. The sick, furious, grieving, how-is-nobody-else-seeing-this feeling that hits a hundred times a week. It has a name. And once you name it, you can do something with it. In this episode I get into what moral injury actually is, why being triggered by that truck is more layered than it looks (hint: part of it is grief for the version of you that didn't know yet), and the small body-based moves I use to keep the energy from getting stuck. Plus — some real optimism about where the movement is, eighteen years in. And a Bob Marley song that's got me smiling.

  2. I Deleted Social Media Because There Were Too Many Vegans

    I Deleted Social Media Because There Were Too Many Vegans

    I'm not the first person to quit social media, and it's not even my first time. Six months ago, I ran back to Instagram and Facebook, hopeful and optimistic. This morning, I deleted everything—again. This is my quitting manifesto.  Links 📝 Substack (get episode alerts): veganfireside.substack.com  🌐 Website: krimdom.com/veganfireside 🐌 Krimsey's Newsletter: E-Snails 📚 Krimsey's Books: dabblerouser.com/books 💌 Contact: krimdom.com/contact Vegan Fireside: A podcast by Krimsey Lilleth — honest conversations about the inner life of being vegan in a world that mostly isn't.

  3. My Costume Made Everyone Uncomfortable (and I Liked It)

    My Costume Made Everyone Uncomfortable (and I Liked It)

    I wore a vegan Halloween costume, and people hated it. Then I had two conversations that went surprisingly well — one at a dairy booth, one at the library — and they reminded me why small, awkward moments matter. This episode is about speaking up even when your voice shakes, finding gentle ways to ask hard questions, and realizing activism doesn’t always look like a protest sign. Sometimes it’s just a conversation.  Full Episode Transcript: available at Vegan Fireside on Substack Links mentioned in the show: My Vegan Halloween Costume: view on Instagram or FacebookNPR Article: [A study found lead in popular protein powders.

  4. A Warm Tummy Twinkle

    A Warm Tummy Twinkle

    After years away from the restaurant world, I felt a familiar spark again. This first episode is me following that feeling and opening the door to something new: a digital fireside for the vegan community I’ve been missing. I talk about where I’ve been since closing my Cajun vegan restaurant, why this project feels like the next step, and what kind of space I hope to build here—one rooted in warmth, honesty, and connection. If you’ve ever felt alone in your vegan journey or unsure what your next creative move should be, this episode is for you.
