   12. Plant-based empaths & being vegan

   In today’s episode, I want to bring some light to the word ‘empath’ and what it means to exist as one. An empath is someone born with a natural ability to feel and understand what other people and animals are feeling and experiencing. There’s so much more to what an empath is than what I had a chance to share here. However, my goal was to bring light to the fact that not everyone that chooses to be vegan does it for the same reasons. And that’s ok. Those of us that have a spiritual and energetic tie to being vegan have a different need to fulfill than those that do it for other reasons. To my empath friends, you know what it’s like to feel others pain, worry, fear, sadness and excitement. You know what it’s like to be born wanting to be of service, wanting to help others find peace and happiness. You know on a deep level that you are here to positively contribute to humanity in a special way that only you can. You are incredible but you’re also fragile. Protect your energy and watch your gift grow.

    7 - Vegan Food Labels 101

    Today’s Topic Is: How to Read Food Labels to Avoid Eating Animal Products. This is really helpful if you’re someone who never reads food labels. You’re more than likely to find it more difficult when you're shopping around for vegan products bc you may not really know what to look for. And that’s completely ok. It all starts with taking the initiative to learn. Like you are doing now listening to me speak! Here are 5 actionable steps you can take to make informed choices at the grocery store when you’re trying to avoid animal products: 1. Does the packaging say vegan or vegetarian on it? 2.
