Guest: Angela Yvonne — journalist and creator of Vegan Pop Eats
Theme: Turning plant-forward living into culture, not homework
What you’ll hear:
Angela shares how she moved from Veganuary to everyday vegan living and why she thinks veganism needs a new PR person. We unpack her simple “3 M’s” (Meatless Monday, Meatless Meals, Meatless Month), budget-savvy eating, and how your neighborhood’s “food architecture” nudges your choices. We also talk language shifts that reduce resistance (“I’m not prioritizing that right now”) and small-step leadership you can start today.
Highlights
- The “3 M’s”: choose the entry point you’ll actually stick with
- From Veganuary to everyday: making a 30-day trial durable
- Budget wins: beans, grains, frozen veg, flavor boosters
- Your block vs your plate: mapping a 10-minute “greenside circuit”
- Language that helps: from “I can’t” to “I’m not prioritizing that right now”
Listener Challenge
- Pick one M — Meatless Monday, two Meatless Meals, or start a Meatless Month.
- Map your greenside circuit (within a 10-minute radius):
- Use the phrase “I’m not prioritizing that right now” when old habits pop up, then choose one small swap you will prioritize.
- one affordable produce stop
- one reliable protein staple (beans/lentils/tofu/grains)
- one decent veg entrée for tired night.
