    Marc and I give you our thoughts on people saying "I used to be vegan" or "I was vegan for six months".
    Is it possible to be 50% or 80% vegan? Can you be a vegan who only eats eggs?

    You will find out by listening :)

  • 19. Tearing down misconceptions about a whole food plant-based diet with Marc Korhammer, a.k.a. Aktiv Vegan

    Hello beautiful souls and thanks for taking some of your time to listen to this episode!


    For those who didn't have the chance to understand the previous episode since it was in German, I decided to replicate it but this time I will be asking the questions.

    And Marc or Aktiv Vegan will be answering them.

    Is a whole food plant-based diet time-consuming? expensive?


    If you want to know, just keep listenin! ;)

  • 18. Talking about thriving on plant-based foods on Aktiv Vegan’s Podcast (in German)

    Hello beautiful souls and thanks for taking some of your time to listen to this episode!


    I have now stopped counting how many times my empowering and ever more inspiring boyfriend Marc, a.k.a. Aktiv Vegan was on this podcast.

    You can listen to the episode about dairy or the one about eggs, or also the one where he talks about vegan activism in Germany.


    This time, it's the other way around though.

    I had the honour to talk with Marc on his podcast and since he is German, I made the effort to answer his questions in German.

    So get your German skills ready if you want to learn more about my story and every day life with whole foods <3

  • 16. The daily grind a.k.a. the egg industry

    Hello beautiful souls and thanks for taking some of your time to listen to this sixteenth episode!

    This one approaches another industry where animals are awfully abused and exploited.: the egg industry.

    I used to be vegetarian and as soon as I discovered this truth, I reflected upon it and changed my behavior in order to align my values with my actions.

    I could never contribute again to the suffering and killing of billions of animals every year like I used to. And I hope you will stop too.


    Here are more information to help you on your way toward veganism:
