Ep. 8 - Reclaiming Your Health Jan 01, 2019

Show notes

The new year is the perfect time to set goals and make resolutions, but unfortunately, they're not always easy to see through once the hectic rush of life sets in. That's why we were eager to invite Karen Brockway on the show to share what happens when you actually stick to your new year's health goals.

Last year, Karen joined in for our Plant-Based on a Budget New Year's Challenge and has had tremendous benefits by sticking with it. We hope that you'll enjoy this episode, and that she inspires you as much as she's inspired us to adopt healthier habits and reclaim good health.

Ep. 7 - Vegan in College Dec 15, 2018

Show notes

Ah, college life! We remember it fondly because it was when we both decided to align our dietary choices with our values and full-on embrace plant-based eating. That's why we're so excited to bring on Felicia Falconer, the personality behind the YouTube channel By Felicia, to discuss what it's like becoming vegan in college and while being totally immersed in the college life (being on a budget, working on campus, easy and quick meals, etc.). Felicia also shares some funny stories about how her teenage fashion (as seen below), her dating life, and more!

Ep. 6 When Your Partner Isn't Vegan Dec 01, 2018

Show notes

It can be frustrating when you've totally fallen in love with the plant-based lifestyle but your spouse isn't (and may never be) on board. That's why we're so excited to have Josie Morris on the podcast sharing her experience of being a full-time plant-based advocate who is married to a meat eater. Josie spends her days working for the Humane Society of the United States promoting vegan food at institutions around the country, but still accepts her husband (and father of her beautiful children) for who he is and what he chooses for himself. Hear more about Josie's on today's episode.
