The Korean Vegan with Joanne Molinaro

Is Discipline a Bad Word Now? Sep 10, 2024

Discipline wants to see you succeed. It is as invested in the goals you set for yourself as you are. And unlike its sexier peers, "inspiration" and "motivation," discipline is loyal, predictable, dependable, consistent. But can it turn toxic? Let's talk about it...

Is it Ever Ok to Comment on a Person's Size? Aug 27, 2024

As I've talked about ad nauseam, with the exception of the last 10 years, I literally cannot remember a time in my life when I was not told to lose weight. Starting from when I could remember, I was made to understand that my body was excessively "chubby" and that I would be so much more lovable if I could lose "just 10 pounds."

North Korean Sports Diplomacy and Crash Landing. Aug 13, 2024

While Simone Biles, Katie Ledecky, and Novak Djokovic dominated the Olympic headlines, percolating just beneath the radar were all sorts of smaller stories, ones that may not have been covered by splashy newspapers, but still went viral on TikTok.

One of those stories I discovered while scrolling through Threads…

Olympic Level Mental Toughness Aug 06, 2024

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. Jul 16, 2024

"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."

Finding Jeju. Jun 25, 2024

"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."

I Ran The NYC Marathon!!! Nov 14, 2023

“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. Oct 24, 2023

"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.

Loneliness. Oct 03, 2023

"[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)."

Faking Out Imposter Syndrome Sep 26, 2023

"You need to create a 'Joanne 2.0,' a Joanne that pretends that she knows she deserves to be there as much as everyone else."

I imagined donning the guise of a totally "new" Joanne--one who was confident, made people laugh, strode into rooms with her shoulders back and her gaze straight. Only, it wouldn't really be a "new" me so much as a "fake" me, like a character in a sitcom.

While looking to trick herself out of her own Imposter Syndrome during a recent trip to NYC, Joanne discovers the true meaning of confidence.

Visit the episode page on The Korean Vegan website for more on "Faking Out Imposter Syndrome," including pictures and links. Plus, a Korean Street Food recipe, and a feature in The New York Times in "What I'm (Watching, Reading, Wearing)."

Cassey Ho: Design For Success Sep 12, 2023

Meet Cassey Ho, the founder and creator of not one, but two powerhouse fitness brands: Blogilates and PopFlex, both of which were born out of Cassey’s stint as a certified pilates instructor back in the late 2000s. Discover how what started out as a way to pay the bills, soon turned into a community numbering in the tens of millions, and now, two 8 figure businesses.

Cassey was born a leader, but the thing I love about her is that she completely upends the stereotype that often adheres to women in a position of power. That we must be unapproachable, aloof, even a bit of a bully, and that it is a business no-no to wear our hearts on our sleeves. This was definitely the message I received—explicitly and implicitly—when I was trying to make partner at the Firm. But Cassey doesn’t buy into that—at all. She is openly emotional, about the triumphs and the losses, and she has leaned into that quality without a trace of artifice. In so doing, she has proven that success does NOT require you to be who you aren’t. Success will follow those who lead, even with their hearts. - Joanne

What Does ”Family” Mean? Sep 05, 2023

Gut Health with Dr. Robynne Chutkan Aug 29, 2023

Meet Dr. Robynne Chutkan, one of the country’s most recognizable gastroenterologists and the veritable Queen of Gut! The author of four books on the microbiome (including my personal favorite--The Microbiome Solution), Dr. Chutkan is a graduate of Yale and Columbia College, has served on the faculty at Georgetown Hospital since 1997, and was once short-listed as a candidate for the U.S. Surgeon General's office. Dr Chutkan’s philosophy is based on uncovering and remediating the root cause of digestive distress, which is often the result of damage to the microbiome from excessive antibiotics, acid blockers, immunosuppressive drugs, and a suboptimal diet. Her work has had an immense impact on my life and it's an absolute thrill to share this highly informative conversation with all of you.

Enter to win a copy of Dr. Chutkan's The Microbiome Solution and The Anti-Viral Gut. Plus, this week's Recipe Inspo, Parting Thoughts from Sunday night's Streamy Awards, and What I'm... (Watching, Reading, Using).

Beating Those Ugly Plateaus. Aug 22, 2023

"You tell yourself that tomorrow, or on Monday, or after the guests staying at your house leave, you will resume all those healthy habits that you thought you couldn't live without; but tomorrow, Monday, and your family's departure are no longer visible in the rearview mirror, and still, your blender remains forlorn, your kale now yellow, the cover of that little brown notebook untouched."

If you've ever found yourself in a slump, today's episode is for you! Joanne discusses getting back on track while establishing (or re-establishing) good habits. Plus, "Parting Thoughts."

Will You Marry Me? Jun 27, 2023

"I counted the stones stacked together like rows and rows of broken teeth that encased us inside a cavernous mouth, wondering how many secrets they could tell if one decided to crack them open. How many loves and not-quite-loves had they witnessed? How often had they correctly predicted the outcome of the unions cemented inside a building that had truly tested the definition of "forever"? As I stood there waiting to become a wife, I decided to tell them my own secret, a story I hadn't yet shared with anyone--not even Anthony."

Back in Rome, Joanne reflects on her wedding day nearly five years ago, and dreams of a second home in Italy.

The Brutal Cost of the Second Amendment. May 10, 2023

Earlier this week, like you, I was horrified to read yet another headline about yet another mass murderer armed with yet another AR-15 semi-automatic rifle destroying the lives and families of yet another round of needless victims. A 6-year old boy lost his mother, father, and 3-year old brother. A young mother is currently lying unconscious in a hospital bed. When she wakes up, she will learn that her 8-year old and 11 -year old daughters were killed.

I'm sick of these stupid headlines. I'm sick of the helplessness I feel every time this happens. I'm sick of how quickly politicians move to gaslight what, by now, can only be described as a national epidemic of chronic grief.

Because that is exactly what this is--we are in a state of constant grief. Unlike normal grief, we are never allowed respite from our mourning. Rather,

We are forced to endure 208 mass shootings in less than half a year.
We have been terrorized by the slaughter of 15,038 human beings in less than half a year.
We are being conditioned to normalize the senseless murder of 96 children in less than half a year.

So, WHY is the United States so embarrassingly and FATALLY obsessed with guns?

My Plastic Surgery Story. May 09, 2023

"I'm not saying that it's always a bad thing. There are people who view plastic surgery as a tool to make surface level corrections only, like a bandaid over a paper cut, a bit of concealer over a pimple. But as you'll hear, that simply wasn't the case for me. In the end, I discovered that the wounds I was trying to heal were simply too deep to reach--even on the operating table."

The Habit Formula: Making Exercise as Mindless as Eating Popcorn? Apr 25, 2023

"Inevitably, I started feeling better about myself, physically and mentally. Don't get me wrong--I still hated physical movement of any kind, but I hated it less than I loved the feeling of accomplishment after each workout; I hated it less than I loved the way my body was changing; I hated it less than I loved knowing that I was doing something good for myself."

On the heels of last week's episode with her running coach Dan Walters, Joanne today looks into the science behind habit formation, and how it might help you develop and stay motivated to maintain a consistent fitness regime.

The Benefits of Vulnerability. Mar 28, 2023

"I was horrifically embarrassed, corked my tears with a watery laugh and changed the subject; but, there was something inexplicably soothing about being with another Korean woman, who perhaps could understand, without having to be told, the immensity of both my shame and my grief."

Joanne reflects on her own vulnerability. Plus, dreams suffused with the fellowship of Lake Shore Drive traffic in this week’s "Parting Thoughts."

Joanne's non-stick stir-fry Ballarini Pan
Did you listen to the podcast I did with Desiree Nielson, on The All Sorts Podcast? BTW, Desiree has written a GORGEOUS new cookbook called Good for Your Gut, a topic that is near and dear to my stomach!! Check it out!
My friend Dylan Lemay opened up a beautiful new ice cream shop called Catch’n Ice Cream and I like to think I’m responsible for the vegan option (which is delectable). If you’re in NYC, make sure to head down to Bleecker Street and catch yourself a sweet vegan treat!
What I’m Watching: A good friend of mine recommended The Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix, a Korean drama about a young autistic woman who works for one of the largest law firms in South Korea. It’s funny, heartfelt, and eye-opening. The writers do a good job of exploring ableism in the legal industry and love. I’ve also been bingeing The Umbrella Academy. Not the best writing and some mediocre acting, but I find the comedy to be pretty spot on and the story line wildly entertaining. If you can get past the inevitable plot-holes when time-traveling is a big component of the story, I highly recommend it.
My Favorite New Kitchen Gadget: One of my favorite things about watching Korean dramas is keeping my eyes peeled for random beauty products and kitchen gadgets that aren’t as prevalent here in the States. One that caught my attention was this wireless, portable food processor. I was skeptical at first, but man-oh-man, I love this thing! My regular food processor is so huge and clunky and, of course, needs to be about 7 inches from an outlet–so annoying! This one is lightweight and works like a charm.
Upcoming Recipes: As many of you know, I had to take a 2-week break from work and wasn’t able to do much recipe development. That said, peach season is here and I picked up a whole bunch from my local farmer’s market. I’m going to be experimenting with no baking, no sugar added desserts, so stay tuned to the TKV Meal Planner for that!
