The veggie friends you need in your life

I’ve been a listener for a long time and feel like these ladies are my friends. I tune in at the gym, driving to work, while I walk, cook, fold laundry - anytime! It’s like we’re just hanging out. Their conversations are approachable, compassionate, informative, and funny. I appreciate their mission of spreading love and kindness as people learn about a plant-based lifestyle. All are welcome! I’m so glad to be part of their community. You should be too!
