What happens when your identity, your career, and your beliefs collide?

In this conversation, Josie Clemens shares the real story behind her journey, from growing up with a deep spiritual curiosity to becoming a chef, walking away from everything she built, and redefining what it means to live in alignment.

We explore:

• The moment she realized changing her environment wasn’t enough to find peace

• What it actually takes to question your identity and start over

• The hidden cost of lifestyle change, and why it’s more than just food

• Her unexpected path to Hell’s Kitchen and the moral tension behind that decision

• A powerful perspective on impact vs. personal integrity that challenges the way we think about change

• Why building a peaceful, intentional life starts from within, not from external success

This is a conversation about more than plant-based living.

It’s about identity, purpose, and the courage to step into uncomfortable spaces to create real change.

What happens when a life-changing diagnosis forces you to question everything you thought you knew about health?

In this episode of the Plant-Based Support Podcast, Dr. Niki Davis sits down with wellness expert Shoshana Chaim to explore a powerful, real-life journey into plant-based living, resilience, and long-term healing.

After being told her husband could have just months to live, everything shifted. What followed wasn’t a quick fix, but a complete rethinking of health, from food to stress, from mindset to community.

This conversation goes beyond “what to eat.”

It explores why:

• Some people see results on a plant-based diet… and others struggle

• Healing isn’t just about food—but also stress, breath, and lived experience

• Sustainable change comes from support, not willpower

If you’ve ever felt like you’re doing everything right… but not seeing the results you hoped for, this episode will help you make sense of it, and show you what to focus on next.
