This week we switch it up a bit. We're gonna start off this year and Veganuary by sharing a little bit about ourselves and our journey to veganism. We'll talk about how we became vegan, some of the struggles we had around that change, how our mindsets have shifted since becoming vegan, and what advice we might have for new vegans.
