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.
