This week on The ChickPeeps, Evy speaks to renowned author, speaker, activist and all-around dazzlingly joyful vegan, Colleen Patrick Goudreau about learning how best to discuss and share our vegan values with others. Colleen also reveals insights on the importance of incorporating joy into one’s personal vegan lifestyle, and shares her passion for animal-related etymology and her conviction that we need to be mindful about using language that doesn’t normalise animal abuse. Also on this episode…

  • Why be a joyful vegan? 
  • Bearing witness as a vegan activist - Are we betraying the animals if we choose not to share or look at images of violent animal abuse? 
  • What is the most responsible way to channel one’s anger as a new vegan? 
  • The role of vulnerability in sharing your vegan values.
  • ‘Veganism is the way to reach our goal of being as compassionate as we can; the goal is not to be as vegan as we can be, the goal is to be as compassionate as we can be.’
  • Colleen coaches Evy through how to approach and handle a conflict about veganism with a family member.
  • Colleen is the vegan therapist we all need!
  • ‘Do your work and step back’. Colleen shares how she releases the urge to control how the information she’s sharing is being received.
  • Communicating your message so that people will listen: ‘Do you want to be right or do you want to be effective?’
  • ‘Pizza’ or ‘Vegan pizza’: Evy and Tylor discuss listener Uma’s question on whether or not we should be declaring our veganism at every meal.
