Why not try something different, pay attention to the results, and take it from there? This Vegan Family Kitchen Podcast episode’s guest, Helen C. Giles, is a colleague, cooking friend, and meal plan subscriber. Her story will encourage you to embrace experimentation and give thanks for the life and body you have now.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • The beginnings of Helen’s journey into veg*ism, which started in a high school Animal Science class, and how she took her parents along for the ride;
  • Her self-guided path to healing from a mental health crisis when conventional medicine’s failed to help;
  • How listening to her body led her to quit dairy and experiment with laying off gluten, and how she makes the Vegan Meal Plans work for her;
  • Her non-conventional career path following a graduate degree in Public Health;
  • And the joy of embracing our freedom, beauty, and worth today.

“The meal plans make my life so much better. It’s like a little adventure each week, “what am I going to get to cook this week?” And the cooking club adds such a great community to it. I have been plant-based for a long time but didn’t have a community, this is the first time that I’ve had other people who are plant-based around me, and I didn’t realize what joy it was going to be in my life. That’s awesome!” – Helen C. Giles, Vegan Meal Plans subscriber and cooking club member.
