Summary

Rip welcomes Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, “The Joyful Vegan,” to the PLANTSTRONG Podcast for a long overdue celebration of the massive growth and interest in all things plant-based - especially in the 15-20 years.

An empath and advocate her whole life, Patrick-Goudreau, first began her life’s purpose and awakening at age 19 after reading John Robbins’ Diet for a New America and then later, Slaughterhouse: The Shocking Story of Greed, Neglect, and Inhumane Treatment Inside the U.S. Meat Industry by investigative journalist Gail Eisnitz.

This awakening led to her life’s work, which now includes multiple books, podcasts, radio/TV appearances, cooking classes, and group vegan trips around the world.

She and Rip discuss:

Her Awareness, Sensitivity, and Compassion toward animal suffering as a young girl
Finding a Balance in Activism and Emotional Well-being
Being a Joyful Vegan: Finding Wonder and Gratitude in Veganism
Struggles and Difficulties of Coming Out as Vegan to Family
Developing Empathic Communication Skills
Managing Emotions and Compassion in Difficult Interactions
The Power of Openness, Vulnerability, and Compassion in Conversations
Finding a Balance between Belonging vs. Staying True to Values
Overcoming Challenges in Relationships with Different Diets
Effective Advocacy and Communication in Relationships
“Eating the Rainbow” and Exploring Different Phytochemicals and Their Colors
Exploring Culinary Delights in France and Italy with her Joyful Vegan Trips
Her Passion for History and What it Can Teach Us About the Present

If you’re a fan of Colleen’s, then, of course, you’ll love this episode. If you’re not familiar with Colleen and her work, prepare to be impacted by her deep, deep compassion and empathy for all of life, and especially how to help others in their own transitions.
