Who is Michele Olender?

Michele Olender is a Certified Life Coach and podcaster committed to helping people limit or eliminate their consumption of animal products and build a vegan / vegetarian / whole food plant-based practice. 

Through her coaching business and podcast, Vedge Your Best, Michele presents tools and ideas that encourage you to pick a big goal and start right where you are now with what you’ve got. Whether it’s trying out a meatless Monday or taking on Veganuary, Michele is your coach! 

Michele earned a BA in Russian at Smith College and an MA in the History of Art from the University of Massachusetts, and has successfully completed the Plant-Based Nutrition Certificate Program through Cornell University.

Michele’s “impossible goal” is to help encourage a million people to move toward veganism by coaching individuals one-on-one and partnering with vegetarian and sustainable startups, side gigs, communities, and thought leaders.
