Whether you're navigating grief, uncertainty, change, or big emotions, this idea has the power to soften the edges and bring a sense of peace and release.I share how I’ve learned to sit with discomfort instead of buffering it away.

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 my awesome mom, Pamela, for a cozy convo about our one-of-a-kind upbringing (for both of us). It’s a perfect conversation for Mother’s Day. Pamela shares what it was like growing up in the ‘40s and ‘50s, not wanting to eat meat, but having a mom and dad who pushed meat at every meal and a grandfather who was a butcher. As an adult, she had long ditched the meat, but in the ‘90s, she had a health scare that motivated her to go from eating a vegetarian diet to a whole-food plant-based diet. This one change was life-changing for her and was a model for me as well. We chat about her health journey, and let me tell you, this woman is thriving. She talks about her energy, her body, and the spark that keeps her going strong at 81 years old. We hope this episode brings everyone some motherly love.Helpful links:Episode 73: Faux Meat Millet MolClean Food Dirty Girl Meal Plan ClubBrittany, Tamie, and my face on a stick at the Planted Expo in SeattleCelebrate Mom Vegan Meal PlanA Plant-Fueled Mother’s DayAboutClean Food Dirty Girl helps people eat more plants while celebrating imperfection.
