Thank you so much for being here today. I’m Ashley. I’m a plant-based registered dietitian nutritionist and virtual nutrition coach and mentor.

I’m so grateful you’re here. I’m going to give you an exciting preview of what you can expect from this podcast, how it will benefit you and your journey, and stay tuned at the end for a fun giveaway that I’ll be running throughout this month of May.

The whole reason I’m starting this podcast is give people a space to share their plant-based story. And we’re not just going to talk about what’s going well (although we’ll do a lot of that) but we’re going to really dig deep into the challenges, struggles… What would you say to yourself if you could go back and give yourself a piece of advice as you started going plant-based.

When I started my plant-based journey in 2012. At that time, I was very alone in my journey. I had no support and no idea what I was doing. Some of my main inspirations and motivators were reading about everyday people who made the shift. I was raised on a beef farm so I seriously had no clue what I was doing.

The whole reason I became interested in plant-based eating was because I grew up with a lot of GI issues. And looking back now, I didn’t realize that going to the bathroom once or twice a week wasn’t normal. I would spend hours trying to go to the bathroom and didn’t realize it wasn’t normal.

It wasn’t until after I became a dietitian, and I always stress that it was after because I didn’t learn a whole lot about plant-based eating

You can expect to hear stories from people who made the switch, from why they did it to what they struggled with to how they’re thriving now. Why? Because, I don’t want you to feel alone on your journey. I want you to have a community, to have some support through your earbuds that I wish I had.

Even though this episode is solo, you can expect most of these episodes to be other people talking about their plant-based journey.

The main things you’ll get:

Community

Plant-based inspiration

Common plant-based struggles from everyday people and how they’ve been overcome

Encouragement and empowerment

How you can own your plant-based journey

The greatest gift you can give to me right now is subscribing to the show and leaving a five-star rating and review. It would mean so much!

Thank you for listening, it’s been an absolute pleasure. Stay tuned for next time!
