On this episode of the show, Shenicka of @veganeatsdmv joins me for a lively conversation that covers SO MANY relatable topics about veganism.

If you’re a new vegan who’s struggling to stay on the wagon, you’ll definitely want to tune in to this episode to hear about her experience.

Shenicka talks to me about her initial inspirations for going vegan and how at first, she viewed veganism only as a diet to lose weight.

After several attempts to go vegan resulted in her ‘cheating’ and going back to eating meat, Shenicka learned the importance of finding community and an accountability partner to help build a support system. 

After finding what works for her, she has now been vegan successfully for over a year and is creating amazing recipes and sharing them on Instagram! We talk a bit about how she started sharing her food on social media, what the journey of creating vegan content on Instagram has been like, as well as her plans to start a Youtube channel.

Shenicka’s vegan journey is a relatable one and there is something for everyone in this conversation.

We also cover:

  • The health benefits of plant based eating

  • The struggles of new vegans: dealing with cravings, cooking a lot, and the convenience of meat and dairy

  • How vegan eating may positively affect your menstrual cycle

  • Growing up with a vegetarian mother and how that impacted Shenicka’s vegan journey

  • Shenicka’s time in culinary school and how that influences her vegan cooking

  • How going vegan with an accountability partner makes it easier

  • Vegan facebook groups and the support of the vegan community on social media

  • How to get back on track if you slip up on your own vegan journey

  • Shenicka’s advice for new vegans who may be struggling
