Be patient with yourself.
I am so excited to share the light and inspiration of my friend Jenné with you in this episode. She is one of my most committed vegan friends and she makes the best tasting recipes of all my favorite soul foods – plant-based!
Jenné is the founder of Sweet Potato Soul, a site and brand where you’ll discover hundreds of delicious and easy-to-make vegan recipes. She also shares lots of cooking videos and healthy eating tips on her Youtube channel. Since becoming vegan, she has become a health coach, cooking instructor, cookbook author, wife, and new mama!
In this episode we talk all about how to incorporate a vegan diet into your life, your family’s life, and even your newborn baby’s life. We cover why it’s so important, how to navigate the ups and downs, and what amazing blessings can come to you as a result. We also discuss tips for entrepreneurship, motherhood, and relationships.
