In today's episode I'm sharing the story of how I ended up being vegan in the first place. You'll hear all about why I ate a rack of BBQ'd ribs after watching footage of what happens to animals in our food industry (yikes!), you'll hear about the books and resources that changed everything for me, you'll hear about my transition into being vegan, and what I experienced when switching to a vegan diet, and why it was veganism that opened a door I didn't expect. One that included lots of hardships and getting real with myself, but eventually the healing of years of struggles with food and my body.
