In many countries, people are eating more chicken. For an animal advocate, that's heart-breaking. This article explores a more hopefull perspective on the "small body problem." #vegan

Mafism, or: Is the Small Body Problem a Sign of Progress for Animal Advocacy?
The moral universe bends toward justice for animals—one taxonomic class at a time.

The Lottery of Life
Spawn as a random animal, at the real odds of who is actually born on Earth each year. Almost no one draws a human. The odds are real.

Why do people quit veganism? My new article explores this through the lens of habit coaching. #vegan #animaladvocacy

Why Veganism Often Doesn’t Stick (and How a Habit Lens Makes Advocacy More Effective)
Different people need different support systems: accountability for some, a compelling “why” for others.

People often think they can’t do what they love if they don’t know exactly what that is. But doing your right work is a journey of discovery, not a single destination. #MeaningfulWork #CareerChange

Most people think the purpose of work is to earn money. I think at its best, the purpose of work is to help us grow into who we are. #MeaningfulWork #CareerChange

Louise | leaderforgood.com @joyfulgrowth.bsky.social · 24/04/2026
A myth in culture is that if you find your passion, the money will follow. That’s not true. Monetizing things requires conscious effort. What is true? Follow your passion and the meaning will follow. #MeaningfulWork #CareerChange

Doing work you love isn’t a one and done deal. It’s a spiral of growth. Since quitting my legal career and starting my business a decade ago, I have shifted again and again. What was right for me 10 years ago is no longer aligned… and that’s okay. #MeaningfulWork #CareerChange

When someone is unhappy in their work, we can do better than helping them find work that’s slightly less shitty. Making work a little better is the first step, not the final destination. #MeaningfulWork #CareerChange

Louise | leaderforgood.com @joyfulgrowth.bsky.social · 19/04/2026
Doing what we love often requires us to do things differently. Which usually brings up fear. The solution: Find others who are on their own journey of growth. There is strength in numbers—as long as they are the right numbers. #MeaningfulWork #CareerChange

Louise | leaderforgood.com @joyfulgrowth.bsky.social · 18/04/2026
Many people think that doing work they love requires taking a big leap or making radical changes. That’s not true. You can start a small passion project today, without changing anything else in your life. #MeaningfulWork #CareerChange

When it comes to work, our culture teaches us to optimize for money. What if we live in a culture that told us to optimize for meaning? When I asked this question, someone responded: "That's utopia." True. But humans landing on the moon was once utopia, too. #MeaningfulWork #CareerChange

Many people think retirement is the ultimate goal. I believe the ultimate goal is doing something you love so much that you don't want to retire. #MeaningfulWork #CareerChange

Louise | leaderforgood.com @joyfulgrowth.bsky.social · 14/04/2026
I don’t believe that work has to suck. I believe that people are at their best when they do something they love and that’s meaningful to them. #CareerChange #MeaningfulWork

Black Friday is a spell of mass consciousness. Mass consciousness gets created if many people think similar thoughts and feel similar emotions repeatedly, over a length of time. More here: www.higherjoys.com/p/how-to-lib...

It’s okay to not feel grateful this week. Someone I care about died recently, and I'm sad about all the turkeys that are getting killed for Thanksgiving dinner. I don’t feel particularly grateful, and that’s okay. Forced gratitude is worse than no gratitude.

This thankfully hasn't been my experience, but maybe some of you can relate: (Cartoon from vegansidekick.com)
Cartoon showing a person announcing they are going to McDonald's, out for a cigarette, and going to get drunk, with the other person just responding "OK." 

Person then announces: "I'm going vegan", while the other person responds: "Yeah but what about protein and calcium and I heard about this vegan couple who had a baby that died so basically if you go vegan you kill babies."

Cory Booker's speech was super-impressive! And, I'm not surprised that he happens to be vegan. Ranting about injustices while being physically uncomfortable is literally a vegan superpower. Cory Booker took that superpower to the next level. And the level after that.
