Victoria Moran
In the current climate of online “content,” almost nobody is “just a writer” anymore. Like most of my colleagues these days, I have a multi-lane career. I run Main Street Vegan Academy, training Vegan coaches, educators, and entrepreneurs. I’m a professional speaker and I do the Main Street Vegan Podcast as well as a live stream on Unchained TV, the Main Street Vegan Salon. I’m a co-director the Compassion Consortium, a spiritual center for animal advocates. And I’m working with my husband, William Melton, and Farm Sanctuary president Gene Baur, on bringing a feature film into being: Miss Liberty, about a cow who escapes from a slaughterhouse. (You can read about some of these other things I do by visiting the “Additional Ventures” page.)
And yet if you and I met at a party and you asked me, “What do you do?” I’d say, “I write books.” Not only have I been saying that for decades and it just comes naturally, being an author—and writing shorter pieces, too—is, I’m convinced, the reason I came to earth.
Announcing
Age Like a Yogi
A Heavenly Path to a Dazzling Third Act
My 14th and newest book, Age Like a Yogi: A Heavenly Path to a Dazzling Third Act, is coming this winter and is available for presale now. Not a how-to-do-yoga-postures book at all, this is rather an exploration of the practical wisdom of yoga, the youth-preserving secrets of ayurveda (yoga’s sister science), and the life-enhancing power of ahimsa, living gently, to create peace, pizzazz and vitality in every decade.
Preorder from Amazon.com, BN.com or your favorite local bookstore.
