On Episode 14 of The Local Woman, Sierra and Sarah chat with local business owner, health enthusiast, and fellow podcaster, Jessica Mack. As the owner of Macon, Georgia's first fully vegan restaurant, Southern Soul Cafe, when we wanted to discuss the topic of veganism, we knew exactly where to turn! After encountering issues with her health caused by her weight, Jessica began her journey towards a healthier lifestyle by not only prioritizing exercise but also developing a new relationship with food. As someone new to the vegan lifestyle, Jessica began making small changes that improved her health, but also helped her develop a passion for cooking and veganism! In this episode, Jessica shares her journey to a green, cruelty-free lifestyle and her efforts, in partnership with local non-profit Macon Vegans, to make a healthy, plant-based diet accessible for all!
