Colleen has been part of my life for many years now and although I can’t call myself “vegan” she has taught me so much about food, health, ethics, and myriad other topics. Absolutely recommend.
Thank you Colleen for this episode❤️
With both pets gone in six months aged 20 and 14 , lots of this resonated with me . It was as hard to listen to as for you to record I’m sure . X
Interesting & enjoyable but disappointed about luxury yachts & flying all over the world .Not very environmentally friendly ?
Colleen has been a go-to podcast host for a variety of topics, someone I can trust to maintain extraordinary integrity over the years, and a guide for being vegan, keeping my heart and mind open, and my body nourished.
Thanks for taking super important scientific research and explaining it in easy-to-understand ways for the average person, like me. I greatly appreciate it!
