• 129 | Why You Should Try Persimmons and How To Enjoy Them [Ingredient Spotlight]
    2025/11/11

    Are you new to plant-based eating and want to try MORE fruits and vegetables, but don’t know where to start or know how to enjoy them? You haven’t cooked with most of the veggies you’ve seen in the Fresh Produce department and have generally stuck to the same old familiar fruits you grew up on –like apples, oranges and pears – and haven’t ventured much farther. And some of the fruits you’ve seen being sold seem to have strange shapes and colors…like those small squarish hard orange-colored fruit you’ve noticed lately at the store this Fall. What are they and what do they taste like?

    Those, my Friend, are called Persimmons and there are a few KEY important things you NEED to know about them if you want to truly appreciate and enjoy them. In this episode, we’ll look at persimmons in terms of their nutritional value, how to store them and the many ways to eat them. So join me as we dive into the world of Persimmons together!

  • 128 | How Her Decision to Eat Plant-Based Changed Her Family – with Client Dawn
    2025/11/04

    Have you ever felt worried about starting plant-based first, because the rest of your family are meat-eaters? Maybe you’re worried that you’ll end up having to always eat differently, and be forever ‘double cooking’. If that’s you, I know how you’re feeling. But sometimes, you won’t know till you take that FIRST step forward…and sometimes the results can be amazingly beyond what we could have thought or imagined.

    That was the case for my coaching client Dawn, who is part of a meat-eating family. And that’s why I’m sharing this segment of her testimonial interview with you today.

    Not only was Dawn a full-time nurse, she was also a busy mama with a teenage son and 10-year-old twin daughters. And the whole family was used to a meat-heavy regular diet, especially her husband. But through coaching, Dawn began to move into a plant-powered lifestyle with confidence, and things started to shift in her home…pretty quickly.

    Listen in to find out the many positive changes that have since occurred in her family as a result of her courageously taking that first step forward into plant-based eating (spoiler alert: her husband’s change is the biggest!). I hope this episode encourages and inspires you!

  • 127 | She Gained More Energy and Confidence Eating a Plant-Based Diet – with Client Dawn
    2025/10/28

    Have you ever tried to make a big change, but then struggled without guidance or support? That was Dawn’s case, a past client of mine. In this episode, I’m sharing with you her story. Dawn is a full-time nurse with a family of five. She had tried to go vegan on her own previously but stopped soon afterwards when she began feeling hungry and often weak. Then a year later, she met me and we began working together.

    The result? Through coaching, she began to experience more energy, and felt healthier and stronger in her body. She felt more emotionally happy and is now able to stay confidently plant-powered, even as her family continues a regular diet. Let’s see just much easier and more enjoyable plant-based eating can get with the RIGHT support and guidance!

  • 126 | Get More for Your Plant-Based Shopping Dollars (& Cut Food Waste) With This Vegetable
    2025/10/21

    Do you wish you had more money to spend on groceries so you can buy more fresh fruits and vegetables to enjoy better health? Well, what if I told you that you don’t need MORE money …but you have to first learn to stretch your shopping dollars – in the store and at home. This way, you can get MORE with each dollar that you do spend.

    Because here’s the reality…there’s a lot of food waste going around, and most households are losing significant amounts of produce AND money every week…from simply not knowing how to store produce, to not knowing how best to use what we do buy and bring back home.

    Let’s change that. I want to help you maximize your shopping dollars and enjoy more of the fruits and veggies you bring home. Let’s see how to do that with one specific vegetable, often used in homecooked meals. And that’s cauliflower. Join me inside this episode!
