Podcast Reflections | Better Answers to Good Questions
I find it fascinating that when Chuck asked me on the podcast what I first started eating when I gave up pizza, I couldn’t really remember?! How HILARIOUS that I based most of my life off of taste pleasure and getting my next fix of pizza and as someone who identifies with being a food…

I was on the Exam Room Live Podcast!
I’m jumping up and down over here, thrilled with excitement. While I’m not finished my weight loss journey, early on I KNEW I wanted to use my own body and my own personal story to inspire others to make a change. I have ZERO experience doing podcasts, but have spent lots of time taking any…

Our Pollinator Garden
Before I get into this, can you please take a moment to sign and share this ? We need to tell our government to update their bylaws for biodiversity. Most of us have lawn space that goes unused, you’ll be amazed at the difference you can make by planting a native plant garden. One year,…

Hypnotherapy Leads to Advocacy
After Veganuary 2022, which I wrote about here, I hired my friend Jon who is a hypnotherapist to do a few sessions with me. I wanted to see what these sessions were all about and I mentioned to him that I wanted to become an animal activist. I keep switching between activist and advocate because…

Gummy Bears & Chocolate – Nov. 2021
Like a whack-a-mole, things I have to deal kept popping up. I attended an all-day leadership workshop at the office and one of the planners of the workshop purchased bags of chocolate bars for the afternoon break. ‘Fuck me’ I thought when I saw them at 7 am, I love chocolate! None were vegan. At…

Chicken Camp 10 Years Ago
Many animals have my heart, but chickens are right up there at the top. I love the sounds they make, their curiosity, motherly qualities, brilliance and work ethic. Just thinking about the sounds chickens makes relaxes and soothes me. World Animal Protection lists some facts about chickens and one of them is that ‘Chickens explore…

Social Support
Dr. Greger mentioned Dr. Barnard’s research in his book How Not to Die which led me to the Physician’s Committee for Responsible Medicine (“PCRM”). I stumbled upon a free Food for Life Class on their website and signed up. The class started with a video by Dr. Barnard which talked about diabetes. This video was…

Eating Animals Again
After our return from Mexico in 2006, we were permanently back to eating animals. At some point, I emerged from vegetarianism with an odd belief that if vegans didn’t support ’humane farms,’ then they’d go out of business and all farms would be factory farms which meant more animal suffering. I wrote about it in…
