Are you worried about starting plant-based first, because the rest of your family are meat-eaters? You’re afraid that you’ll end up having to always eat differently, and be forever ‘double cooking’. If that’s you, I know how you’re feeling. But sometimes, you won’t know till you take that FIRST step forward…and the results can be amazingly beyond what we could have thought or imagined.

That was the case for my coaching client Dawn, who is part of a meat-eating family. And that’s why I’m sharing this segment of her testimonial interview with you today. Not only was Dawn a full-time nurse, she was also a busy mama with a teenage son and 10-year-old twin daughters. And the whole family was used to a meat-heavy regular diet, especially her husband. But her decision in making a plant-powered lifestyle change FIRST ended up not only impacting her own health and happiness, but also created positive waves of change in her family.

Through coaching, Dawn began to move into a plant-powered lifestyle with confidence, and things started to shift in her home…pretty quickly. 

Listen in to find out the many positive changes that have since occurred in her family, such as her family becoming more supportive of her desire to eat plant-based, and trying out new plant-based ingredients and recipes. (Spoiler alert: her husband’s change is the biggest. Listen in to find out how!)
