Conversations with Vegan parents

On this episode we talk about what new years resolutions we are doing for this coming year. We talk about how we are trying to make our resolutions positive rather than restrictive. We also talk about how unrealistic it is to set an intention to last the whole year. Try and keep them smaller and continue to re assess.

In todays episode I am joined by Emma and Jess and we talk about challenges we face at family gatherings. We talk about when its appropriate to educate family on veganism and when to let it go. (I.e. at chrisitmas) we talk about what you can do to make sure you're not triggered by these unsupportive comments. We talk about what we would do if we received a non vegan gift. And we talk about things you can do leading up to the gathering to reduce the likely hood of difficult situation occurring. We recorded this before Saturdays announcement of the reduction of chrsitmas gatherings due to Covid. I hope you are doing all OK. And if your not seeing family on chrisitmas day we hope this episode could be helpful at other gatherings. Visit Facebook group conversations with vegan parents podcast to continue the conversation.

In this episode we talk about how challenging it can be to explain to our children why fanily members still eat meat. We share the things we've told our children and Becky shares what was told to her. We hope you like this episode and join us over on our Facebook group to continue the conversation.

In this weeks episode we talk about what we usually cook for Christmas Dinner and if we make any adjustments for our children. We talk about where to buy or how to make great vegan yorkshire puddings and pigs in blankets. We also talk about desserts and snacks/treats and mince pies we can get.

On this episode we talk about the challenges we face when buying vegan Christmas gifts. How we can know if a gift is fully vegan. What gifts we are buying this year.
