Ep. 2 – Being Vegan in a Small Town, Raising a Vegan Family and Starting a Plant-Based Business
In Episode 2 I sit down with Shauna Chandler. Shauna is a vegan mom of two from my small home town up in Northern British Columbia. Shauna has been vegan for about 5 years now and is raising a fully vegan family. She’s a great little vegan cook and a vegan leader in her community. She also has a plant-based skincare line with her sister Krista.
In this episode we talk about:
- how anxiety led Shauna to look into the vegan lifestyle
- how the lifestyle has impacted her health and well being as well as those around her
- how she transitioned not only herself but also her family to a vegan diet
- the differences between both her vegan and her non-vegan pregnancies.
- what her family eats as vegans
- how she raises vegan kiddies in a non-vegan world
- some tips for making the transition yourself
- forming new habits like running
- making new friends in your community
- about the creation of her side business creating a plant-based, cruelty-free, zero-waste skincare line called Kream Come True.
