The Joyful Journey to Compassionate Living with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau

Join us for an uplifting and JOYFUL episode featuring the compassionate and insightful Colleen Patrick-Goudreau! Listen as Colleen delves into her personal journey towards adopting a vegan lifestyle and how it has shaped her 20+ year career in animal advocacy. She will also share key excerpts from her transformative book, "The Joyful Vegan: How to Stay Vegan in a World That Wants You to Eat Meat, Dairy, and Eggs," which explores the emotional and social stages of becoming vegan. As she says, "It's not because there's nothing to eat. It's not because there isn't enough protein in plants. And it's not because people lack willpower or moral fortitude. Rather, people stay vegan or not depending on how well they navigate the social, cultural, and emotional aspects of being vegan: constantly being asked to defend your eating choices, living with the awareness of animal suffering, feeling the pressure (often self-inflicted) to be perfect, and experiencing guilt, remorse, and anger." Whether you're a seasoned vegan or just curious about the lifestyle, this conversation offers a deep understanding of the challenges and triumphs faced by those who choose to live compassionately. Don't miss Colleen's expert advice, profound wisdom and heartfelt stories that will motivate and enlighten you on your own path.
