May 16, 2023 I tried going vegan but I was always hungry. A common excuse to keep eating meat?
I tried going vegan, but I was always hungry.
This is one of the most common responses I get when people learn that I'm vegan. It's like this is one of the set of 3 possible responses people will say!
Whether it's an excuse for stopping veganism or not, it's VERY common to feel hungry when you first go vegan. But with a few small adjustments, you will never go hungry again!
This episode has 3 main takeaways:
1. If you're trying to go vegan but you're always hungry: eat MORE, eat DIFFERENT, but also, eat the SAME as you did before you went vegan.
2. How to know when to talk to a medical professional.
3. If you tried to go vegan but you were always hungry, you probably just went plant based.
Finally, I was dealing with allergies while recording. That's why I sound so stuffed up!

May 02, 2023 Why 84% of vegans quit. Plus: non conventional tips on how to actually stay vegan!
84% of vegans quit. This is a huge number. On the one hand, it's sad. On the other, it's comforting. Going vegan is HARD!
In this episode, we'll discuss my hypothesis of why vegans quit: they're burnt out!
Burn out is a real phenomenon. Recognizing that it exists is an incredible first step in treating and ideally PREVENTING it.
This episode has 3 main takeaways:
1. If you're thinking of quitting veganism: you might just be burnt out!
2. Tips on how to prevent burn out, and treat it when you get to that point.
3. Why you should focus on WHY you're vegan as your anchor.
Finally, I was dealing with allergies while recording. That's why I sound so stuffed up!

March 21, 2023 Don’t let your veganism define you.
You’re familiar with the “militant vegan” stereotype. But are you familiar with the “friendly vegan” ?
In this episode, Serena discusses how you can hang out with non-vegans without losing your mind. She discusses how you are so much more than your veganism, why it’s important to have empathy for our non-vegan friends and family, and how being gentle and friendly is (somewhat surprisingly) a great form of activism.

March 04, 2023 My family won't let me go vegan.
Do you have that one family member (or multiple) who won't accept your veganism? Because Serena sure does: her grandparents.

In this episode, Serena and Tim discuss why going vegan is a big change for your family, how to get your family to accept your veganism, and how to deal with family members that will never accept it.
