#248: How To Be a Joyful Vegan with Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
“Because I do believe that everybody is compassionate, they're not cruel and evil. I wasn't cruel and evil when I was eating animal products, but my compassion was blocked.” –Colleen Patrick-Goudreau
In this episode of Veggie Doctor Radio, I have a delightful and enlightening conversation with the ever-optimistic and wise Colleen Patrick-Goudreau. She shows us how to shift our perspective, find hope and improve our advocacy for animals.
Some of the topics covered in today’s episode include:
Colleen's vegan journey and how it has evolved over time
What it means to be an animal advocate and how she practices advocacy
Animologies – explaining some common animologies
Colleen's take on the biggest barrier to people adopting a vegan lifestyle
This is a really great heart-to-heart conversation, especially if you're somebody who is on their vegan journey and you're still learning about being vegan and how to interact with other people and yourself in this non-vegan world
