In this video, I share some of the mistakes I made while struggling as a vegan and share tips for folks who want to start their own vegan journey.

Mistakes I’ve Made:

• I didn’t tap into my vegan community for support

• Stopped cooking

• Stopped learning & experimenting

• Wasn’t gentle with myself as I dealt with a difficult time

Tips for New Vegans:

• Get clear on your why

• Don’t restrict yourself more than you have to — You don’t have to be gluten free, oil-free, etc in the beginning (or ever)

• It doesn’t have to be all or nothing to start your vegan journey. It’s okay to incorporate a few vegan meals each week and grow from there.

• Connect with like-minded people online and in person — use social media and meetup.com

Resources mentioned in the video:

• I QUIT Being Vegan Last Year video

• I bought my shirt from Hey Trina

• Use meetup.com to connect with vegans in person.
