Vegan Fam In Cow Town

Vegan Fam In Cow Town

Vegan Fam In Cow Town

Let's talk about how to raise vegan kids and empower vegan families in a world that is far from plant-based, especially in our piece of the Mid-West. How do we navigate parties, daycare and school, the pediatrician's office, and travel? How do we express our beliefs about vegan family life in a culture that takes kids to the zoo and where even the pumpkin patches feature exploited animals? It's easy...with this vegan fam pod! We have decades of experience being vegans and raising vegans, even when the in-laws don't like it. Everyone is welcome, vegan or not, and we welcome parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and everyone. Tune in, suggest topics, and share in fam life to the power of V!

Why was the Vegan Festival on August 24, 2019, in Columbus, OH, so packed and successful? Hear from vendors I interviewed who sell soul food, a children's book, gluten-free goodies and unique organic clothing! Also hear from the organizer and from people who attended--kids included. Too bad the food truck workers so busy all day or we could've heard from them ;)

What advice do parents have for talking to our kids about these strange times? I share what I learned from listening to U.S. House Rep. Katie Porter(CA, D), I interview my kids about their challenges during these times and how they understand it all, and I reference my latest publication in tenderlymag that gives all kinds of ideas about how to stay active for animals during a pandemic. https://medium.com/tenderlymag/staying-active-for-the-animals-during-a-pandemic-19fc40c29b62. Also, we talk lots about Linus, our new puppy, and how he is the cornerstone of self-care around our home right now. Tune in, connect, and take care!

Dr. Seth Josephson, lecturer and meditation facilitator, talks us through various forms of conflict and how to frame them so that we can be more effective activists, happier people, and better communicators.

Vegan Fam In Cow Town - The Vegan Magic of a Daily Walk in Your Neighborhood
play

06/15/20 • 31 min

Most of us have more time with our kids than ever and fewer options of where to go. The daily walk I take with my dog and kids has shaped our entire homeschooling experience and has become foundation for our unschooled learning about the world. It's a slow walk, one made for observation more than exercise, although we occasionally break into a good run. How might an observational walk fit into your life? What are the benefits? How could a simple walk keep kids vegan throughout their lives? Even if you are in a heavily urban area, you can find some nature in the small corners and pockets of green.
Hear from me, a vegan mom, about the benefits of a walk, and then hear what my kids (5 and 8) have to say about it!
