#321: The Transformative Power of Self-Love with Kiki Nelson (Plantiful Kiki)
“I was definitely was on a self-love journey before I ever came to a plant-based diet, I struggled with severe anxiety most of my childhood and I didn't realize it until after I'd had my son, and then it really presented itself in heavy, heavy postpartum depression, which then turned into a severe generalized anxiety disorder, and then I also had panic disorder on top of that. So I was a broken individual, just broken, but I was always looking for help.” –Kiki Nelson
