Hello Steemians!
I guess this is the place where I make some kind of awkward introduction post about myself.
Well… My name is Nicole. I’m 30 years old. I'm from Adelaide, South Australia. I’m vegan. I’m a certified health and lifestyle coach. I’m an avid cyclist and plant-based athlete. AND I’m really excited to be joining this growing community!
But what brings me here anyway?
Well… Quite frankly, I’m sick of YouTube. I’m sick of the new algorithm hiding my videos from potential viewers. I’m sick of people being automatically unsubscribed from my channel (without them even knowing). I’m sick of my videos being demonetised because they are deemed not ‘advertiser friendly’. AND I’m really sick of big content creators using the platform to slander, bully, and commit other serious crimes, that ALL go against YouTube’s so called ‘community guidelines’, and not even getting a slap on the wrist!
So long story short, I’ve been an active member of the YouTube community for over 4 years now, but have decided I no longer want to be apart of a platform that I don’t believe to be ethical. I will be transitioning my channel to DTube over the coming month or so (you will probably notice that I have already started uploading several of my videos here) and plan to continue my social media journey on this platform.
When I started my YT channel in 2014 it was all about showcasing my health journey on a vegan lifestyle. I’ve lost over 30 pounds on a whole-foods plant-based diet and feel healthier and fitter now at age 30 than I did at 18. But it’s not just the physical transformation; over the last 4 years I’ve experienced some incredible personal growth, and naturally the content on my channel has transformed with me. I am still on my health journey and constantly learning new things about myself everyday. I now aspire to educate and help others succeed on the same lifestyle that has changed my life and the lives of many others.
So what content can you expect to see here?
Plant-based nutrition. Holistic health. Weight-loss. Fitness. Cycling. Athletic performance. Waste-free living. Minimalism. Travel. Vlogs. And whatever just happens to take my interest!
If you followed me here from YouTube, welcome back. If you are new to my channel, I hope to see you stick around. I'm so excited for 2018! :)
Cheers.

Welcome here. You made the right move. ;)
Thanks! I think so too :)
Welcome to steemit. I hope you find it to be a good platform for your good work.
Well, @dtube might be the better alternative for you then! :) You probably should add the tag #vegan to your post, many people use it!
Resteemed you via @welcoming btw, my page for showcasing promising newcomers! Greets!
Oh DTube is the best alternative, I was a YouTuber for few years and I honestly never felt as excited as I do right now with steemit and DTube, platforms that actually do respect and care about their content creators. Today is also my very first day on the site :)
That's right The vegan and dtube tag or more niche. There is an ever growing vegan community here, I think you might be still be able to edit the post tags, you could swap life or story for instance.
WELCOME! @ nicolemitsi Your story and pictures are awesome. I love red rice, looks like you enjoy it too, I think we have a lot in common. I am also 30 yrs old and much fitter than I was at 18! I'm no athlete but I feel healthy and motivated all because of the healing power of plants.🌱🌱🌱
i’m new, here too, please check my intro
and my latest post how to kick start your day
Nice to meet you, hope we can support each other on this platform.

Welcome Nicole and thanks for the post! I took a quick look at your https://www.nourishbynicole.com/ site and I definitely interested in learning more about about your health journey on a vegan lifestyle.
All the best!
Thanks so much!! :)
Welcome to Steemit Nicole! I just arrived here myself. Posted my intro post earlier today (not as interesting as yours though). I'm a fellow vegan and have just followed you :)
Thanks!! Just followed you :)
Lovely :)
Hi! I am really excited to follow your posts. Good for you for branching out from the YouTube norm. I hope you find success here!
Welcome Nicole. I'm looking forward to your tips. I am occasionally living healthy as I have some strong guilty pleasures.
I am getting ready for an obstacle run of 13km in April so I am on a mission to get back into the game.
Good luck here on Steemit!
Thanks so much! :)
You can do it!!
Nice to meet you! I totally agree with your opinion on Youtube. Im also vegan, almost a year now actually! Its great to meet other people who share similar lifestyles. cant wait to see more of your content!!
It seems a lot of people agree with it. Glad I'm not the only one haha!
Thanks so much!! :)
Thanks for joining Steemit and DTube. I too am sick of what youtube and social media has become.
The latest stupidness from the Youtube platform for me is all to do with Logan Paul. I can't believe that he gained more popularity rather than less for something which anyone knows in their heart is wrong. And yet the amount of money and publicity he gained instead of lost is heartbreaking.
I love what Steemit is for me, an area to have a say, be heard and be rewarded for my efforts. I hope the journey for you is fruitful, and DTube proves to be the solution you are after.
Have a lovely time on the platform :)
Yup that I was one of the last straws for me...
Thanks so much! I'm sure this platform will be much better!

Hi Nicole, welcome to steemit community. i am also a beginner. anyway your cookings look delicious ;)
Thanks!! More great food and recipes to come! :)
Welcome Nicole! So happy to see you here 😁
Happy to be here!! :)
Hey there fellow Adelaidian, love your topics so will follow :) Welcome!
Thanks so much!! :)
Sounds great. Definitely interested in your approach to athleticism based on natural nutrition. I'm not a cyclist, my knees won't let me, but i do go through periods of athletic training and interested in what you have to say. Welcome aboard.
Thanks! I hope you find it helpful!! :)
Welcome Nicole, I am also following a plant-based diet. Most of the time based on whole-foods, but I also occasionally eat some refined foods. Looking forward to your postings! CU
Great!! I am the same actually. I mostly eat whole-foods, but when I'm doing a lot of hard training on the bike I sometimes have to eat slightly more refined foods to make sure I'm getting enough fuel!! Thanks for your post! :)
Nice! Following you! I also like to train on my bike, however, I do it on stationary bikes (spinning marathons). Regarding the view, it is not comparable. ;)
If you like coffee, consider taking part in my #dailycupofcoffee challenge. :) CU
Hey Nicole, it's cool to see you here :)
Yeeewww!!! :)
Hey @nicolemitsi welcome to Steemit community! I hope you have fun here, and I am definitely sticking around for some fun healthy tips and posts. See you around! :)
@thatswhatshesaid
Thanks!! Lots to come! :)
Hello, Nicole, and welcome to Steemit.
Your the 4th or 5th vegan that I've followed on this platform over the past week or so. Makes me wonder about my diet.
Also, I saw your vid re eating in Chiang Mai, and since I now live there, I might actually try a vegan or vegetarian diet. I used to live in India, where the norm is vegetarian, and I never ever found myself wanting for meat.
Anyway, your intro is a good template for posting on Steemit. Of course, your material may be primarily videos, but with Steemit / DTube , you've got a great double-barrelled channel to present your material on.
Good luck, and Full Steem Ahead.
Must be a sign haha!
I love Chiang Ma so much! It is so easy to eat vegan there too. Download the app 'HappyCow' and it shows you all the vegan/vegetarian friendly cafes and restaurants in the area. It is literally vegan central there :)
Thanks so much! I will definitely be using Steemit for blogging too as I feel the two platforms work well together!!
Добро пожаловать)
Welcome to Steemit! Yes, you've made the right decision by leaving youtube behind! We've also changed our eating habits these past 6 months and stopped eating meat. I look forward to finding inspiration in your blog!
Thanks! I think so too :)
That's so awesome!! Keep up that great work!!
Welcome to Steemit! Looking forward to your updates around here. :)
