We begin this show with some good advice as the holiday season begins: Ask for help! In my opening essay, I reflect on mindsets that are helpful for making requests that actually get results. (There is a lot more on this in my book, The Extremely Busy Woman’s Guide to Self-Care).
Now… we all know we need to eat more veggies. But they can be hard to get excited about, right? That’s why I did this particular show!
My guest, Sophia DeSantis is a client-centered heal-coach who’s all about plant-based diets and recipes that are as yummy as they are healthy. And who doesn’t need that? I got really inspired listening to her ideas, and I suspect you will, too.
Among other things, I learned:
- The benefits of a plant-based diet
- Should we be ‘all or nothing’ with plant-based diets?
- The difference between being vegan and being plant-based
- What about how processed a lot of plant-based alternatives are
- Sophia’s favorite alternative meet… veggie burgers v The Impossible Burger
- Roasting v steaming vegetables
- Meal plans and how to make them work
Boy is there a LOT of good stuff here. Enjoy, my friend!
