This week on Vegans Who Lift, we’re joined by the incredible Eileen Hierro (@om_piiko) — fitness model, online vegan coach, and soon-to-be vegan mom!

Eileen opens up about her powerful journey to veganism—how she wasn’t always on board, the challenges she faced, and what finally changed her mindset. She shares how she discovered her passion for fitness, building muscle, and what lifting has meant to her both physically and mentally.

We also dive into her experience as a pregnant vegan athlete—what it’s like continuing to lift and train while growing a human (yep, no excuses here!), staying grounded in her values, and fueling her body with purpose.

This episode is raw, inspiring, and a must-listen for anyone navigating skepticism, fitness while pregnant, or veganism during big life transitions.
