025 Going Vegan: Bonus Episode with Murielle Banackissa

Last Modified: Mar 8, 2024 · This post may contain affiliate links

I know you fell in love with compassionate, confident, and humble Murielle AND the stories she shared in the episode I released Wednesday, “From Sunny Africa to Snowy Canada”. 

There was one portion of our conversation that I believed was too interesting and important to edit down into that episode, so I’m releasing it right here, right now as a bonus episode. 

Murielle shares the reasons she chose veganism, how this choice has affected her and her family, and candidly discusses the struggles and benefits of that choice. As a carnivore, I found plenty to challenge me, to research further, and even to which I could relate. 

Highlights

  • Why she chose veganism
  • Her family’s different responses to her choice
  • Some common ethical questions
  • Some common nutritional questions
  • Struggles and benefits
  • Phases of Veganism
