More Plants: A Vegan Podcast by Brownble Season Finale! What is MBSR Mindfulness? A Beginner's Guide to Mindfulness and Mindful EatingMany years ago I was in a cycle of a certain kind of stress that was bubbling just beneath the surface, in a way that didn't scream urgency as you would perhaps feel during a big life transition, exam season or project deadline season, the illness of a family member, but rather, the kind of daily stress that keeps you on a hamster wheel, moving through your day scratching things off to-do lists, with your mind firmly on the next thing. I started having this very uncomfortable feeling that I was ending my day and when my...

More Plants: A Vegan Podcast by Brownble Eating in the Light of the Moon by Dr. Anita Johnston, a Book Club: On Healing from Disordered Eating and Going through Eating Disorder RecoveryIn today's book club episode I'll be talking about the book Eating in the Light of the Moon: How Women Can Transform Their Relationship with Food Through Myths, Metaphors, and Storytelling by Dr. Anita Johnston. It has been a go-to resource in the field of eating disorder recovery since its original publication in 1996, and I found it so eye opening and helpful that I felt I had to give it special attention in the podcast and tell you a bit about what you can find within its pages. I can't recommend this book enough for anyone who has or...

More Plants: A Vegan Podcast by Brownble Cognitive Dissonance: Exploring the Psychological Barriers to Change and our Relationship with FoodToday we delve into the fascinating concept of cognitive dissonance and how it relates to veganism, our relationship with food, habit changes and more. We'll explore the psychological discomfort that arises when our beliefs and actions don't align and how this can bring up challenges when attempting any changes that are so deeply linked to our value systems (veganism and our love of animals is one example but not the only one we discuss in this episode). We'll also discuss strategies for accepting and moving forward in spite of experiencing cognitive dissonance as imperfect vegans and making th...

More Plants: A Vegan Podcast by Brownble Holiday Survival Kit: Setting Boundaries in Conversations about the Way we Eat, our Bodies, or our Current Stage in LifeWhen it comes to sitting around that beautiful Holiday table, something happens when we're surrounded by people who love us, where the invisible adult line called independence and autonomy is blurred, wiped out somehow, and all topics seem like fair game. As vegans we need to deal with conversations about why we aren't eating the non-vegan apple pie and what's the difference if you just have "a little butter", navigate questions about grass fed beef, animals who are treated well, mom and pop farms, and the carnivore diet. If you're in recovery from an eating disorder or disordered eating...
