Jordan so happy you shared this many, like myself, resonate. For 4 years now I’ve been plant based, but to me that was always a loose term.

I started because I felt a calling and when I lived at home with my dad we barely ate healthy. It felt so empowering to eat completely from scratch, cooking with plants, etc. I felt better in my body and learned about the impacts as well on the planet/animals. However I ALWAYS told my family I’m doing what’s best for my body and it may change, but eating even mostly this way is how I see my future.

This year when I graduated college and was working, I got so burnt out I was barely cooking healthy plant based meals (meaning I had way too much pasta and had no energy to make tofu or chickpea SIMPLE dishes) and since I suffer from low iron that didn’t help. I also realized I started becoming scared if I had meat and again everyone has a different journey but I had a mom who was toxic around her relationship with food so I was worried I’d be like that too.

So point is this year I let go of labels (even tho my fam thinks im no longer plant based, they dont get it) and occasionally eat meat. I dont know what my future entails with my diet but im following my intuition and have always believed in doing what’s best for my body too!

Much love

In reply to Catherine. I cook oil-free at home and am as oil-free as possible when I can be -- but eating out, etc. it's no longer something I am as rigid with as I used to be!

I love this! I love that you’re not being dogmatic – even though the world tries to force you to be – and that you’re listening to your body. Very proud of you!

In reply to Dani. Yay Dani!! Yes, we are souls having this human experience all the way around. Hippy crunchy mamas at our core forever, and listening to our bodies through life's seasons makes us even more in tune <3

I really resonated with the ideas that we are souls having human experiences and that we are bio-individual with needs (and diets) that change and evolve over different seasons. My soul also calls me to a plant based lifestyle but my pregnancy and postpartum journey had me craving meat right from the start. I look forward to returning to my hippy crunchy mama self as well so thanks for sharing your story with vulnerability and truth.

We had our babies so close together! 12/11/21 is when I had my girl so it’s been very fun to see your pp journey as well. I’ve also felt some call to some animal protein/foods while I typically always eat plant based, so thank you for sharing your journey.

I’ve been vegan for 7 years and never needed animal products but I could never say that how I eat would work for all 8 billion people on this planet. We all have different health needs and I’m manifesting a new generation of vegans who change the stereotypes of us and are accepting of all people. Loved your blog post! Cheers to being in 2022 not 2016.
