In this inspiring episode of Thrive on Plants, Dr. Daphne Bascom sits down with Jenné Claiborne, beloved creator of Sweet Potato Soul and author of the new cookbook Vegan Vibes. Recorded on March 25, 2025, the conversation covers Jenné’s recent return to the spotlight after a transformative break from content creation.

Jenné opens up about her journey from launching Sweet Potato Soul as a hobby in 2010 to becoming a wellness advocate, mother, and successful entrepreneur. She shares how becoming a single parent, relocating to Atlanta, and renovating her home led to a deeper connection with her purpose, and why embracing rest and spiritual practices was essential to that clarity.

They dive into how Jenné fuels her plant-powered lifestyle, including practical tips for hitting protein goals without powders, the power of the plate method, and how she sneakily gets veggies into her daughter’s meals. Jenné also unpacks her 90/10 philosophy around whole foods vs. processed indulgences, her focus on microbiome health, and her hope to influence kids' nutrition nationwide.

Throughout, Jenné emphasizes that real, lasting change begins with mindset and that raising your vibration through food, gratitude, and spiritual alignment is not only possible, but joyful.
