In honor of my fellow vegans and vegetarians getting shit from their families this Thursday (and also in honor of World Vegan Month), I wanted to do an episode to help those wanting to lean in a more plant-based direction. This episode was filled with vegan hacks, recs, tips, and heartfelt feelings. I've been vegan for seven years now, and one of my first vegan friends was podcaster, activist, and author Jasmin Singer. She became one of my closest people because she's a compassionate, generous powerhouse and sister from another Jewish mister. Jasmin is the author of The Veg News Guide to Being a Fabulous Vegan, an excellent place to start if you want to learn more about everything we talked about in this episode. She's also the author of Always Too Much and Never Enough: A Memoir, and the editor of Antiracism in Animal Advocacy. She's also the co-host and creator of Our Hen House, an excellent podcast that centers around animal rights.  I hope this conversation is helpful to you, no matter where you are on your journey. Keep an open mind, and you might just make a new best friend too.  -- Help Existing is listener supported...theoretically. Please throw a dollar in the hat through my Venmo, @rachel-krantz, if you can.

The amazing and fabulous Jasmin Singer is a worldwide leading expert on veganism, the co-host of the -running Our Hen House podcast, a longtime contributor to VegNews magazine as well as the author and editor of numerous books. Hope and Jasmin had a ton of fun covering a lot of territory starting with reminiscing about being vegan in the 90s, Jasmin's journey writing her memoir, and her evolution coming from the LGBTQ movement into the animal rights space and how that overlaps and connects. They talk the groundbreaking anthology that Jasmin recently edited about anti-racism in the animal rights movement, they discuss thin privilege and discrimination against larger bodied people and how that manifests in the vegan community, as well as the adventure of making her new home in upper state New York net zero. Resources:Website: https://jasminsinger.comBlog: Jasmin's JargonPodcast: Our Hen House Books: The VegNews Guide to Being a Fabulous Vegan,Always Too Much and Never Enough: A Memoir Anthology: Antiracism in Animal Advocacy: Igniting Cultural TransformationEpisode 24: Fat Justice and Veganism with Andy TabarWhat We Don't Talk About When We Talk About Fat by Aubrey Gorden Encompass 

Hi Plant Friends and welcome to another episode of the PBN Podcast. I am your host Robbie Lockie. On this weeks episode we meet the bubbly and colourful vegan Jasmin Singer. At the age of twenty-four, Jasmin Singer turned to veganism after watching a film about factory farming. Learning about the horrors of the dairy and egg production led her to incorporate animal rights into her LGBTQ+ and feminist activism. Jasmin then began volunteering at PETA's headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia, and began steering her career toward animal rights activism. As well as being a leading expert, Jasmin Singer is now a hugely visible presence within the vegan community. She is a coveted speaker on topics including radical body positivity, personal narrative as a means of social justice, and how to change the world for animals. She is also the author of The VegNews Guide to Being a Fabulous Vegan and Always Too Much and Never Enough: A Memoir. Along with her co-host Mariann Sullivan, Jasmin and her team continue to “change the world for animals” on the long-running, award-winning podcast, Our Hen House. I was fortunate to feature on one of their episodes, I will link it down in the show notes. Jasmin's incredible contribution to animal rights does not stop there. She is the former Senior Editor for VegNews Magazine and the longtime love columnist and celebrity interviewer. In 2020, Jasmin had the enviable job of interviewing actor Joaquin Phoenix, who had used his prominence to not only effectively veganize the menu at the Academy Awards, but also treat his acceptance speech as a way of sharing his concerns for animal rights issues. You may well have seen Jasmin appearing in various documentaries such as The Ghosts In Our Machine and Vegucated. She has also contributed to many anthologies such as Running Eating Thinking; Defiant Daughters; Voices for Animal Liberation; Queer & Trans Voices; and Circles of Compassion. As an actor, Jasmin starred in the film The Bra Mitzvah and has appeared in television commercials. She holds a BFA in Acting from Pace University, and is a certified holistic health counsellor. Jasmin is a long-time activist across many realms, including animal activism, LGBTQ activism, and antiracism.

The Plant Based “Diet” - we discuss the pressure on vegans to be in optimal health, and how the plant based movement often pushes diet culture on vegans as a way to promote the lifestyle.

How we can overcome our body image issues and fear of being judged for our bodies, to focus on being powerful activists for animals. How to handle anti-vegan body-shaming trolls. Jasmin explains her definition of healthy and how it has evolved to encompass how she feels, as much as how she looks. Jasmin shares advice on how to love your body through each chapter of life. Loving yourself and animals: we discuss the challenge of balancing one's personal and public callings, making time for self care as well as showing up for animals.

Join us this week as we chat about the stereotypes and assumptions society has taught us to hold about people who carry extra weight (even when we carry that extra weight ourselves). We used Jasmin Singer’s book Always Too Much and Never Enough as a starting point for this important conversation. On a much more shallow note, Henny gives a full (raving) review of @crumbunsbakeshop Butter Tart Piewich and her new @skinnytaste Meal Prep cookbook. Finally, we talk skins - fruit skins, that is. Do you eat them? Like . . . even the skin of a kiwi?

Join us this week as we chat about how dangerous deprivation can be when it comes to building a healthy lifestyle and how detrimental the idea of a “cheat day” is to having a positive mindset and developing habits that encourage moderation. Henny apologizes for the podcast editing mishap that occurred in last week’s episode, and Sandy talks about a new memoir she’s reading: Jasmin Singer’s Always Too Much and Never Enough. Finally, we chuckle about how soon we start thinking about what we’re going to eat for our next meal (Hint: It’s probably WAY too soon)! Do you have foods that you truly think you “can’t” have?

Meet our guest:Jasmin Singer is a writer and activist living in Los Angeles. She is the author of the memoir, Always Too Much and Never Enough (2016), which tells her story of finding herself through juicing, veganism, and love, as she went from fat to thin and from feeding her emotions to feeding her soul. In 2016, Jasmin was named by The Advocate Magazine as one of “40 Under 40 People to Teach Us About Each Other.” From 2010-2016, Jasmin was the Executive Director for Our Hen House.

Sarah Nicole of The Birds Papaya is warmly welcomed on to the podcast. Elena and Sarah discuss their blossoming friendship that started out on Instagram, the negative effects of toxic body positivity, and so much more! Sarah shares her story of weight loss, disordered eating, looking in all the wrong places for worth, growth, and finding peace on the journey to self-love. 

Jasmin Singer, author of the memoir Always Too Much and Never Enough, was vegan long before she was thin.   She struggled for thirty years with her weight and, more importantly, a destructive relationship with food.   Even after dedicating herself professionally and personally to compassion for animals, she was still missing compassion for herself.   She says it was only after she turned her objective from vanity to self-care, and traded vegan snacks for juice fasts, that she was able to get to the root of her food addiction, lose 100 pounds, and finally heal her spirit.   Jasmin is the co-host of multi-award-winning podcast Our Hen House, the digital director of VegNews, and a TEDx speaker who wants you to know that compassion is the only path to living in our authentic selves.   She joins Alexandra and Dotsie to share how she broke through her emotional eating, why we should all strive to see ourselves through our grandmothers’ eyes, and why she is unapologetic about not eating anyone who has a mother.   While telling her stereotype-defying story, Jasmin will teach you how to speak a little more nicely to yourself and drop your toxic habits for the ultimate freedom.   What we discuss in this episode:   - How our parents can unintentionally warp our relationship with food and why we turn to toxic habits to fill emotional voids   - The realization that pushed Jasmin from vegetarianism to veganism, why communities are important for your transition, and Jasmin’s advice for finding a “vegan family” of your own   - Unpacking food addiction and why what we consume must align with our authentic selves   - Veganism is not a diet! Jasmin shares how she takes the guesswork out of people understanding veganism and how the show Explained gave her hope that people are leaning into plants   - How Fat, Sick, & Nearly Dead and Eat to Live changed Jasmin’s life after an eyeopening appointment with her doctor   - What happens to your worldview when you drop 100 pounds? How people reacted to Jasmin’s weight loss and why it made her angry   - Changing your mindset from vanity to self-care: Jasmin’s TEDx Talk, and why we need to try to see ourselves the way our grandmothers see us   - How juice fasting or a similar change in routine can help break food addiction   - The one investment Jasmin recommends if you think you don’t have time to be vegan   - Connect with Jasmin Singer on Instagram at @jasminsingerauthor, on Twitter at @jasmin_singer, and on her website at JasminSinger.com and check out her interview with Dotsie on Our Hen House   Connect with Switch4Good   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQ2toqAmlQpwR1HDF_KKfGg   https://www.facebook.com/Switch4Good/   https://www.instagram.com/switch4good/   https://twitter.com/SwitchForGood   switch4good.org

6th Sunday in Ordinary Time Readings

Vegan Powerhouse Jasmin Singer joins us to discuss where the vegan movement is today and her involvement in many aspects of it. Jasmin is the author of: Always Too Much And Never Enough: one woman's journey to find herself through juicing, veganism, and love, as she went from fat to thin and from feeding her emotions to feeding her soul.

This pod is recorded from the Veg News Headquarters in West Hollywood.  I sit down with the very smart and very present Jasmin Singer.  A veteran journalist and author (her book Always Too Much and Never Enough is out now), Jasmin is the Senior Editor at the leading vegan publication, Veg News. In our discussion, Jasmin highlights the benefits of a compassionate life and how changing how she sees herself and, thus, how she sees the world created a life altering and life affirming  shift for her.  In the end, can we be happy?  We get in to this, too!  Listen in!  To watch our interview or for more information, visit http://ElysabethAlfano.com . 

This week The ChickPeeps have an honest, open conversation about what it's like to balance one's relationship with food with one's ethical values and how both recovery and veganism have impacted their lives. Momo and Evy are joined by vegan fitness coach and self love advocate, the fearless Bianca Taylor, who recounts her journey from struggling with anorexia to truly loving and celebrating her body. Later on, we interview the incredible Jasmin Singer, senior editor of Vegnews and author of the memoir Always Too Much and Never Enough, who shares her story of developing a binge eating disorder and how she transformed her relationship with food from self-abuse to self care. Also, on this episode… ‘You can't eat that, can you?' The important distinction between ‘can't and ‘won't'. Going vegan mindfully after an eating disorder. Bianca discusses being a personal trainer and how she helps people in the midst of an ED. ‘Good' vs. ‘bad' foods - how do we not backslide into this mentality of categorising foods as a vegan. Bianca and Momo share how their lives have expanded since they chose the path of self-love. Jasmin discusses the journey from food as an enemy, to food as a friend, to somewhere in between. ‘It wasn't until I was well into my 30s that I realised that food can actually be something that not only is a direct representation of who we wanna be and what our world view is but also something that can fill us and allow us to really sit more comfortably in our authenticity.' The universal feeling of not being enough. Guilt and shame. How to deal with these emotions surrounding food when we slip up as new vegans. How to talk about veganism with people who've been through an eating disorder. Switching your focus from vanity to self care. ‘That's when food was no longer what it had been for me in the 80s, which was a vehicle for changing; it was a vehicle for being in line with who I wanted to be.' Letting go of an eating disorder. Jasmin and Evy discuss whether or not true recovery is possible. How to deal with a perfectionist mindset when it comes to diet. Body positivity and representation in the vegan community. Links: Check out Bianca's website. Follow Bianca on Youtube, Instagram and Facebook. Learn more about Jasmin Singer.

Do you seem to never have enough money? What if that was not a problem - but a greatness of you? What if you, always desiring and choosing more - could actually be an energy that invites money into your world rather than pushing it away? What point of view would you have to change for the energy of ‘never enough money' to be something you can use to your advantage? When you have never enough money - AND always too much to spend - you have a totally different reality with money than the rest of the world. It is an inconceivable space of creation with money that most people do not comprehend. Are you willing to be out of control with the creation - and receiving - of money? What if money never had to be a problem again? Join Heather Nichols for a definitely different conversation about money, wealth, having, and receiving.

I've had Jasmin Singer on the blog before - we've eaten a few times together (I've got to get back to Stuff I Eat!) and caught up at the BlogHer Conference recently.

Jasmin Singer, co-host of the Our Hen House podcast and author of Always Too Much and Never Enough, shares her story through food addition and weight loss. A vegan activist for years, Jasmin remained addicted to food and overweight until the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead sparked a change.

From the extra pounds and unrelenting bullies that left her eating lunch alone in a bathroom stall at school to the low self-esteem that left her both physically and emotionally vulnerable to abuse, Jasmin Singer's struggle with weight defined her life.

Always Too Much and Never Enough is the fabulous memoir of ourhenhouse.org‘s Jasmin Singer who turned childhood bullying into a way to understand the suffering of animals. She's since released 100 pounds through healthy vegan eating and lots of juicing. Opening the show is Dr. Luke Wilson, half of the twozestybananas.com team, a pair of New Zealand doctors who’ve developed a very hip and inviting site to interest younger folks in the plant-based life.

Quoth Richard: I set out to finally use my Long-Scale 3 String Chromatic Strumstick in a SAW! Hooray me! I actually tooled around with 2 other mellow singer/songwriter type songs, but neither came to fruition, so I returned to an instrumental that I had done late last week. I filled it out, but it still wasn't quite busy enough to be JUST and instrumental, so I put some fitting lyrics on the first part. And VOILA: SAW! I also finally employed my Boss DR-670 drum machine, marking its SAW debut as well. To not terrible effect, I think. But I freely admit that I have a thing or twelve to learn about using it. Anyway, enjoy!
