    024: The Vegan Creative: Writing with Intention with Madeleine Eno

    One powerful way to spread the vegan message is through writing—whether it's books, blogs, or social media posts. Writing allows individuals to share their personal journeys, educate others on the benefits of a plant-based lifestyle, and inspire change. In the latest episode of the Veganpreneur REVOLUTION Podcast, hosts Kathleen Gage and VLynn Hawkins dig into the personal and professional journey of Madeleine Eno. With a background rich in creativity and spirituality, Madeleine shares how her vegan lifestyle has influenced her work and creativity, especially in the realm of writing. Discovering Veganism Madeleine Eno’s journey into veganism began approximately a decade ago. Triggered by a message received during meditation, Madeleine felt an unexpected nudge to give up meat. This decision led her to an unforgettable vegan potluck in Los Angeles, hosted by a plant-based chef and consultant at Whole Foods. This experience, filled with vibrant, colorful dishes, opened her eyes to the abundance and creativity possible within a vegan lifestyle. The Spiritual and Creative Connection For Madeleine, adopting a vegan diet was not just about the food; it was about enhancing her creativity and spiritual practice. She believes that the clarity and presence gained from a plant-based diet have been instrumental in her work, allowing her to connect more deeply with her clients. By removing distractions such as alcohol and processed foods, she has found a greater ability to be present and focused. COVID-19 and the Shift in Perspective The pandemic brought significant changes for many, and Madeleine was no exception. Living in a cabin in the woods, she found solace and creativity in her surroundings. The lockdown period heightened her awareness of food stewardship, leading to innovative and resourceful cooking with the ingredients she had on hand. This period also underscored the importance of being a good steward of resources, something that resonated deeply with her vegan values. Integrating Veganism into Professional Life Madeleine’s vegan lifestyle subtly influences her professional life. While she doesn’t aggressively promote her dietary choices, the principles of veganism—compassion, health, and mindfulness—naturally permeate her work. Her clients often discover her vegan lifestyle as they work together, leading to enriching conversations and shared values. https://veganvisibilityproductions.com/podcast/024-madeleine-eno

In the latest episode of the Veganpreneur REVOLUTION™ Podcast hosts VLynn Hawkins and Kathleen Gate engage in a compelling conversation with Susan, a renowned author, coach, and advocate. The episode explores Susan’s journey toward optimal health, her staunch support for plant-based nutrition, and her practical tips for achieving wellness. The Journey to Health: From Adversity to Advocacy Susan’s journey to health began with a personal crisis in her teenage years. Following a family tragedy, she faced numerous health challenges, including weight gain and various ailments. A turning point came when her grandmother, a passionate advocate of natural living, introduced Susan to a lifestyle centered around whole foods and natural remedies. This pivotal experience ignited Susan’s passion for plant-based eating and natural healing, shaping her future career and advocacy.  Plant-Based Eating: The Key to Vitality Throughout the podcast, Susan underscores the vital role of a plant-based diet in maintaining health and vitality. She explains how a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole foods can prevent and even reverse many common health issues. Susan’s books, Uplifted and A Hug in a Mug, provide in-depth guidance on plant-based nutrition, including practical recipes and tips for incorporating superfoods into daily routines. The Power of Positivity: Integrating Mind, Body, and Spirit Susan emphasizes the importance of a positive mindset in achieving holistic health. She advocates for nurturing the body, mind, and spirit through good sleep, regular physical activity, and a positive outlook. Susan believes that this comprehensive approach enhances overall wellness and builds resilience.  Enhancing Your Daily Routine: Practical Tips and Advice Susan provides practical tips for incorporating plant-based habits into everyday life. She suggests starting with manageable changes, such as adding more fruits and vegetables to meals or swapping processed snacks for whole foods. Susan also recommends keeping a food journal to track dietary changes and their effects on health, offering a tangible way to monitor progress and stay motivated. Mindful Eating: Building a Healthier Relationship with Food A significant aspect of Susan’s advice is the practice of mindful eating.

    022: The Psychology of Going Vegan: Insights from Dr. Angela Crawford

    When compassion meets healthy eating, one is left to wonder where the road leads. In this week’s episode of the Veganpreneur REVOLUTION Podcast, Dr. Angela Crawford shares her journey from compassion to vegan advocacy, offering profound insights into aligning values with lifestyle choices and the broader implications of veganism.   The Journey to Veganism: A Story of Compassion and Change   Dr. Angela Crawford's transition to veganism stemmed from a place of deep compassion. Raised on a traditional American diet, she remained unaware of the food industry's hidden cruelties until a PBS feature exposed the harsh realities of meat processing plants. This pivotal moment ignited her empathy, leading her to adopt a vegetarian lifestyle before fully committing to veganism. Her personal journey underscores how compassion for animals and workers can drive significant life changes and expand our understanding of our food choices.   Aligning Values with Lifestyle: The Psychological Impact of Veganism   In her book, The Vegan Transformation: A Mind, Body, Spirit Journey to Healing Yourself and the World, Dr. Crawford explores the psychological benefits of veganism. She identifies seven core principles—values, vision, authentic fulfillment, love, unity, empathy, and self-empowerment—that emerged from her research. Crawford's findings highlight how living in alignment with one’s values enhances personal well-being and fosters a deeper connection with the world.   Overcoming Cultural Conditioning: Bridging the Vegan Gap   Promoting veganism often involves overcoming entrenched cultural conditioning. Dr. Crawford explains that societal norms and food addictions create blind spots, making it challenging for many to consider a plant-based lifestyle. Psychological barriers and misconceptions, such as concerns about dietary restrictions and social acceptance, frequently deter people from transitioning. Addressing these obstacles is crucial for effective advocacy and support.

    020: Factory Farming: Through the Lens of Compassion with Bobby Sud

    The journey to veganism often begins with a deep-seated love for animals and the realization that our daily choices can impact their lives profoundly. During Episode 020 of the Veganpreneur REVOLUTION™ podcast, hosts @kathleengage and @vlynnhawkins talk with Bobby Sud, a filmmaker and photographer, who found his purpose in advocating for animals through the lens of love and empathy.   Early Life and Inspirations   Bobby's compassion for animals was evident from a young age. Growing up, he always had a strong connection to animals, a trait common among empathetic individuals. However, his journey into veganism and animal advocacy didn't begin until much later. Initially, Bobby pursued a degree in filmmaking, specializing in environmental filmmaking, yet he had not yet adopted a vegan lifestyle.   Health Transformation   It wasn't until Bobby's health spiraled out of control that he embraced a plant-based diet. Suffering from severe health issues, including obesity, diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension, Bobby decided to make a drastic change. With his twin brother’s encouragement, within eight months of adopting a plant-based lifestyle, he lost over 100 pounds and reversed his chronic conditions. This transformation was pivotal, not only for his health but also for his burgeoning advocacy.   The Turning Point   The significant turning point in Bobby's journey occurred when he attended the SoCal VegFest in Orange County. Introduced to the concept of animal vigils by Jon Pierre (JP), Bobby attended his first pig vigil. This experience was a revelation. Standing inches away from a truck filled with 200 six-month-old piglets destined for slaughter, Bobby had a profound epiphany. He realized that, just like humans, these animals had only one life, and their suffering and individuality were undeniable.   Advocacy Through Filmmaking and Photography   Inspired by this experience, Bobby's path took a definitive turn towards animal advocacy. He began documenting animal vigils, capturing the stark reality of animal suffering through his lens. His talent as a filmmaker and photographer quickly gained recognition, leading to collaborations with notable figures like Shaun Monson and involvement in significant projects like "Generation Vegan."   LA Animal Save   Bobby's dedication didn't stop at documenting animal suffering. He became an active organizer for the Animal Save Movement, specifically LA Animal Save. Through his powerful photography, Bobby highlights the individuality of animals, transforming abstract numbers into poignant portraits. His work emphasizes that each animal is a sentient being, capable of suffering and deserving of compassion.   Emotional Resilience and Self-Care   Dealing with the emotional toll of witnessing and documenting such suffering is challenging. Bobby's approach is rooted in love rather than hate. He focuses on his love for animals and his desire to help them, finding solace in the positive impact of his work. This love-based activism helps him manage the emotional weight and stay committed to his cause. www.VeganVisibilityProductions.com/podcast/020-Bobby-Sud

    019: The Interconnection of Veganism, Health, and Spiritual Awakening with Elena Theis

    It has been said, “Compassion is the language of the heart.” This week’s featured guest on the Veganpreneur REVOLUTION™ podcast not only believes this to be true, she lives it.  Elana Theis shares her personal transformation and  journey towards veganism, and her work as a writer and energy practitioner sharing how she has integrated all of this into a life of compassion. The conversation was rich with insights about health, spirituality, and the deep connections between self-awareness and dietary choices.   Discovering the Path to Health and Veganism   Elana shared her profound transformation from a point in her life where, despite outward success, she felt deeply unfulfilled. She described how her initial step towards better health was influenced by an Ayurvedic dietician who recommended eliminating dairy and red meat. This dietary change led to significant improvements in her health, marking the beginning of her journey toward veganism.   A Life-Changing Journey to Hawaii   A pivotal moment for Elana occurred during a solo trip to Hawaii. Immersed in the island's diverse lifestyle, Elana experienced a deep connection with nature and herself. This trip catalyzed her shift away from societal expectations and towards a more authentic, self-guided life. By the end of her stay, she had naturally gravitated towards a vegan diet, a change solidified upon her return to Germany.   Embracing a New Lifestyle   Elana's story illustrates how personal growth and dietary choices are interconnected. As she became more attuned to her true self, she found it increasingly difficult to consume animal products. Her decision to fully commit to veganism came naturally and was a significant part of her overall transformation, which also saw her losing 60 pounds without intentionally trying to do so. www.VeganVisibilityProductions.com/podcast/019-Elena-Theis
