Mollie was once a celebrated LA chef who created a series of vegan restaurants that were wildly popular. Her commitment to veganism naturally  led to experiments in sustainable vegan farming.

But, with the practical experience of running an organic regenerative farm, Mollie found that a strictly vegan approach just wouldn’t work. The challenges she faced included the harsh realities of nature . The necessity of using organic fertilizers sourced from conventional farming systems (which included animal parts), forced her to confront the contradictions in her beliefs. She discovered that her idealistic view of a completely vegan farm was unrealistic.

As she tried to reconcile the conflicts in her beliefs, she receiived a $25 million offer for her restaurants. All she had to do was run them for a few more months, and she would have the financial stability of her dreams.

But the year was 2020, and when her California restaurants were forced to close, the offer vanished.

Where does one go from here?

Mollie’s answer to this impossible situation involves resilience, personal transformation and a deep commitment to her evolving truth. This is a powerful conversation about the importance of being open to changing beliefs and perspectives, and having the courage to believe in oneself.
