This episode features host Maggie Kelly in an insightful discussion with vegan health coach Kate Galli. Kate shares her journey of becoming vegan, which began after a long stint as a vegetarian. Initially, her focus was on physical health, striving to maintain a strong body while advocating for animal rights. Over time, her understanding of veganism expanded to include emotional health, happiness, and improving relationships with non-vegan family and friends.
Kate candidly discusses her past experience as an "angry vegan," stemming from the realizations she had when learning about animal agriculture. She recounts the anger she felt towards the misinformation she had previously believed about animal products and discusses the struggles that arise when trying to convince loved ones to adopt the same lifestyle. However, a significant turning point occurred when she lost her mother unexpectedly, prompting Kate to reflect on her relationships and choose compassion over anger. This shift enabled her to engage with others more effectively and foster meaningful dialogues about veganism rather than confrontations.
