In this episode, I sit down with the amazing Lindsay for a real, honest, and super inspiring convo about her journey with food, weight, and self-love.If you've ever struggled with yo-yo dieting, shame around eating, or just trying to "figure it out" when it comes to health, this episode is for you.Lindsay opens up about her childhood trips to Weight Watchers and rigid food rules to investing in an expensive nutritionist who asked her to treat hunger like a math equation (hard pass). For years, she searched for answers and tried everything from rigid diets to rigorous exercise. When she noticed we were offering a plant-powered weight loss program, she was all over it. That’s when everything shifted.With the help of Drop It Club,  Lindsay discovered losing weight doesn’t have to be about restriction and guilt—it can actually be joyful, empowering, and delicious. Since starting Drop It, she’s down over 25 pounds, feeling amazing, and her whole family is loving the plant-powered meals, too (including her husband, who’s down 60 pounds!).We hope this one leaves you feeling hopeful, fired up, and hungry for a big ol’ plate of badass loaded fries.Helpful Links: ⁠⁠Join Drop It Club⁠⁠ Use code PODCAST at checkout for $100 off your first 3 months if you purchased by June 1, 2025. ⁠⁠Sweet Potato Stuffed with Creamed Spinach⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Breakfast Porridge ⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Sesame Ginger Baked Tofu⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Caramel Pecan Cheesecake⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Badass Loaded Steak Fries⁠⁠ AboutClean Food Dirty Girl helps people eat more plants while celebrating imperfection.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Diederich, a badass vegan fitness coach who helps women build strength, confidence, and muscles they didn’t even know they were capable of. We dive into why lifting weights is so important for women, especially if you’re rocking a plant-based lifestyle, and how you can build solid, beautiful muscle without ever touching animal protein.Sarah walks me through her journey from academia to fitness coaching, and we get into the magic of personalized coaching, plus why nutrition and recovery matter just as much as the time you spend lifting. We also bust some myths about veganism and strength, talk about finding cardio that doesn’t make you want to scream, and geek out on stretching and mobility because your hips deserve love too.The big takeaway?
