There are hundreds of ways to introduce Victoria, and I'm about to share so many of the incredible things she's done, but to me, she was the very first author that made me see that there was a connection between my relationship with food, my values, spirituality, ethics, that every step I took had meaning, that even my messy past with food and emotional eating could find healing, and that most of the work with my issues had to start internally, not externally. She got me started on a path that has taken me to so many places since then, all on this quest to find peace with food, while still being in connection with the meaning behind my choices and my love for animals. In today's episode we talk about her 38 years of being vegan, what she's seen, how she's stayed the course, how she found veganism back when there weren't hundreds of books and podcasts and documentaries about it. We talk about having missteps on our journeys to veganism, how imperfection is a part of the process and what we can compassionately tell ourselves to celebrate even the smallest victories. We talk about some of the reasons many people stop being vegan, and one essential piece of the puzzle that can help keep us on course. We talk about the importance of taking things a day at a time, as well as the deeper, spiritual meaning behind our food choices. I ask Victoria a question I've been wanting to ask her for years about religion and spirituality. We discuss her passion for and practice of yoga, and why it's so important, when practicing a philosophy that stems from another culture, to honour and incorporate its many teachings, and what is TRULY going to stay with us throughout our lives (spoiler alert, it ain't that headstand!). Victoria talks about all the exciting projects she's got coming up including the incredible documentary she helped produce “A Prayer for Compassion”, her incredible Mainstreet Vegan Academy where they prepare and certify vegan lifestyle coaches and educators, her upcoming and newly revamped podcast The Victoria Moran Podcast and much more. Listed by VegNews among the “Top 10 Living Vegetarian Authors,” Victoria Moran has written thirteen books including Main Street Vegan and Creating a Charmed Life, and was featured twice on Oprah. She is the founder and director of Main Street Vegan Academy, training and certifying Vegan Lifestyle Coaches and Educators since 2012; and she was lead producer of the 2019 documentary, A Prayer for Compassion, about food choices and spirituality. Victoria is one of the cofounders of the Compassion Consortium, an Interfaith, inter-species spiritual center for people who care about animals. After 475 episodes of the Main Street Vegan Podcast, she is about to launch the Victoria Moran Podcast, an exploration of vitality, spirituality, and compassion.

What should we do when science and spirituality conflict? Should we follow our intuition on what and how to eat, or should we only make evidence-based food choices? And can we truly make evidence based food choices when the science often seems to be contradictory or constantly changing? In today's episode I speak with best selling author and inspirational speaker Victoria Moran, about how she navigates making healthy and ethical food choices as both a spiritual yogi and ethical vegan. Victoria is the bestselling author of thirteen books, including Creating a Charmed Life, The Love-Powered Diet, and the iconic Main Street Vegan. She is also a holistic health counselor, the founder and director of Main Street Vegan Academy, a podcast host, and film producer.

She touches on her Ayurvedic lifestyle, the supplements she takes and how herbal remedies help her stay well.

“Eat Food. Not too much. Mostly plants.” This is one of our favorite quotes from Michael Pollan. Can it really be that simple? Today's guest, Olympian Julia Murray believes that it can be with her new app, 80/20 Plants. 80/20 Plants is the leading plant-based coaching service that moves people and the planet to a better future. The 80/20 Plants App delivers approachable and fun one-on-one coaching, along with community and practical education, that is accessible to anyone motivated to thrive on plants. With the typical Western diet consisting mostly of processed foods, meat, and dairy, (which contribute to serious health issues including cancer, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes) there is no better time than now to start eating more plant-based food. By incorporating most plants into your diet, you get an instant nutrition boost of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. A plant-based diet can also aid with weight loss, prevent and reverse chronic disease, and lower mortality rates. The planet will also thank you: shifting away from a meat-heavy diet helps to combat climate change and pollution! That's why I had such a great time with today's guest! Julia is the co-founder, spokesperson, and coach of ‘80/20 Plants' the plant-based transition app, and she's the vegan blogger, and plant-based chef behind Hooked on Plants.

In this episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast, we talk with Victoria Moran about improving your health through the teachings of yoga. Many of us have had to pivot in our jobs, businesses, and personal lives in the last year. Victoria shares how she has pivoted both in her business and with her daily routines. We talk about Ayurveda and yogic ideas and how they overlap with other cultures can be incorporated with your cultural traditions and how there is also a disconnect at times. Make sure you listen through to the end if you are wondering why more yogis are not vegan. Listed among VegNews Magazine’s “Top 10 Living Vegetarian Authors” and voted PETA’s “Sexiest Vegan Over 50” in 2016, Victoria Moran has written thirteen books, including The Love-Powered Diet, Main Street Vegan, and the international bestseller, Creating a Charmed Life.

Meet Our Guest:Main Street Vegan Academy trains and certifies Vegan Lifestyle Coaches & Educators in exciting real-time courses that cover every aspect of the vegan lifestyle. Our respected faculty prepares committed vegans with the skills to succeed as a vegan coach, influencer, or entrepreneur, and we provide post-course support and networking. Our graduates hail from 30 countries and their businesses include vegan retailing, manufacturing, food service, fashion, education, and more. Since its inception in 2012, I took great pride in Main Street Vegan Academy's being in person in NYC, complete with field trips. We've shifted to Zoom and it's been wonderful, so post-COVID we'll offer the course both ways. The big pivot for me was having a business at all. I've been a writer since my teens and my first book, Compassion the Ultimate Ethic: An Exploration of Veganism, came out in 1985. I never expected to be in business, but the 2012 publication of my book, Main Street Vegan, sparked a podcast, a production company, and Main Street Vegan Academy. That's when I learned that the key to a successful pivot is acceptance, to lean into the new way, the new phase, and not stay stuck. Website www.mainstreetvegan.net Subscribe to Pivot!

Victoria Moran is a veritable lighthouse in this plant-strong movement and a true matriarch. She's been in the trenches for well over 35-years and, at age 70, she’s just getting started! Her mission? To share the joys and rewards of living a whole-foods vegan lifestyle with the entire world. She’s written 13 books, hosts her own radio show and podcast called, “Main Street Vegan” and most recently produced a documentary called “A Prayer for Compassion” that asks the question, "Can people who identify as religious or spiritual come to embrace the call to include all human and nonhuman beings in our circle of respect, caring and love?” Powerful, indeed. She also runs The Main Street Vegan Academy - a program for training and certifying vegan lifestyle coaches and entrepreneurs around the world. Did we mention that she’s 70? Whew!

You can locate her directly on her Web site w w w dot main street vegan dot net. Welcome, Victoria. Victoria [00:01:39] Patricia. Thanks for having me. Patricia [00:01:41] Absolutely. I'm so excited to crawl through. I don't know. One podcast guest that I've had speaking with us over the past three months that has not mentioned you. And so now I'm getting it straight from the source. Victoria [00:01:54] There's something to be said for being an early adapter. Yeah, absolutely. Patricia [00:01:59] Your flagship to be certain. Patricia [00:02:01] So for everyone listening or watching on the podcast, I have a bio I will read on Victoria, but I want to offer everyone a quick roadmap. For those of you that listen to my podcast, you know that I offer everyone a quick roadmap before we get started. So we'll first look at some of Victoria's early academic background and professional life that may have kind of launched her into where she's at. And then we'll turn our attention straight to unpacking Main Street Vigen dot net. There is there is an academy, there's podcasts, there's books, there's online courses. And I kind of want to crawl through some of that so that we get a better understanding of Victoria's platform. And then we'll turn our efforts towards looking at some of the ethos and philosophy behind her books and other more heavy research endeavors as to her vegan life and philosophy. We'll look at the documentary that she had a handle with with. It's called A Prayer for Compassion. And I know she did it in conjunction with filmmaker Thomas Wade Jackson. So we'll talk a little bit about that. And then I want to turn our efforts towards contemporary conversations, obviously, in the middle of what we're doing right now and how we're living as a society. Then we'll look at goals that Victoria may have. Those have been changing for everybody across the platform, not just with her business, but with her with her vegan endeavors. We'll wrap everything up with advice for those of you who are looking to get involved with her or reach out and maybe emulate some of what Victoria's been doing. Quick bio on Victoria before I start peppering her with questions. Vigen Since 1983, Victoria Miron was listed among vege newsmagazines as the top ten living vegetarian authors voted PITAs Sexiest Vegan over 50 in 2016 and featured twice on Oprah. [00:03:43] She has written 13 books, including the iconic Mainstream Vegan and the international bestseller Creating a Charmed Life. She hosted the award winning Mainstreet Vegan podcast, produced the 2019 document documentary A Prayer for Compassion and Directs. And Durex of Main Street, Vigen Academy. She's the director of the ministry, Vigen Academy. The exciting and in person certification program training vegan lifestyle coaches and educators. And a magical week in New York City. [00:04:17] That's exciting because I can't wait to hear how some of that may be shifting a little bit. Victoria and I want to climb through all of those endeavors, especially some of your past things. It is exciting to look up and see, you know, old version of Oprah with you on and then some of your later things. But before we get to all of that, I was hoping you could kind of draw for everyone listening. Like a platform of what you're early academic life and professional life was prior to you kind of embarking on the vegan journey. That was over 30 years ago. [00:04:48] What a wonderful question. Well, I knew from the time that I was a little kid that I had one gift and it was words spoken and written. And I really was not at all good at anything. [00:05:02] So I did learn early on that writing and speaking would be how I spent my life. I also had a great interest in the big picture in the religions of the world and spirituality in what it all means. And so with those things together, I tried the first time to be vegetarian at 13. That didn't last permanently, but it certainly planted a seed. I developed an interest in yoga at age 17. And all the books that were out then about yoga, I think there were three of them said over and over again, if you're gonna be serious about yoga, you have to be vegetarian. So that bed in. [00:05:46] And I was also writing at that time for magazines, mostly teen magazines. I had a press card that any little girl could get for a dollar. But I took my very seriously and I met all of the rock groups of the era from the Beatles on down. I had a lot of fabulous stories there. [00:06:09] And when I did go to college, I was in my late 20s. I'd been writing and working in journalism during my 20s. And everybody said, oh, so you'll finally get your degree in journalism. And I said, Are you kidding? I've been doing that all my life. I quoted Einstein. I want to know God's thoughts. The rest are commentary. So I got a degree in comparative religions. And in my junior year there I was awarded a fellowship to do foreign study. So I could study anything as long as I left North America to do it. [00:06:45] And I opted to go to the U.K. to study vegans, because at that time there were so few in the U.S. that an institution of higher learning actually funded me to cross an ocean. Excellent study vegans in the country where it had started. So that led to my very first book, Compassion The Ultimate Ethic, which came out in nineteen eighty five and the rest. You've already told people. [00:07:14] Yeah. That's exciting. And I have a pilgrimage. [00:07:17] It's so it's daunting to think about it as being so specialized and miniscule that you know that you're getting this grant to go and cover them like this rare tribe of individuals. And it's it's exciting. And that kind of states it as as where you're coming from. And I love that, because having that breadth of knowledge of where trends, even within the community and understanding and public awareness, you know, that change has been so significant. I think when it comes to the vegan world, I'm wondering really quickly so that we can kind of give everyone who's still listening. You're this maverick individual, you know, who's had this history. But right now. So if we jump on to, you know, your the main street begin Web site and we look at it, you have a host of offerings. It's first of all, it's a wealth of knowledge. You know, it's kind of this beautiful index. But you have you immediately have books. You have a cat at the academy, you have a podcast, you have online courses. How did these all develop? Blake, what did they all come about all at once when you had the website or did it start with specific things and kind of grow and branch off from that? [00:08:27] That's a that's a fascinating question. At least it is to me. So I started my writing career with vigor. I mean, I guess I started my writing career with rock groups when I started writing books. I wrote vegan books. I wrote three specifically vegan books. And then I thought, what else can I say about animals and vegetables, especially when very few people were interested. [00:08:52] So I used my degree and I went out and wrote a lot of books about spirituality and contemporary living and well-being. And it was in. T12 that I had cycled back to writing a book about veganism called Main Street Vegan. Now, you've told me that you come from a documentary family, so you will appreciate the story. The book was sold to Tata Penguin and the day after that. The editor called and said, We're so happy to have you, but you really have to change the title. They didn't like Main Street, so I was trying to write the book and give it another title and walking up Broadway here in Magical Manhattan. We saw somebody who is so famous that you can recognize him from the back. And that was Michael Moore. Now, he had read an earlier book of mine, a weight loss book, and he'd gotten some help from that and written about it in Oprah's magazine. So I had some vague idea that he might know who I was. So I gave my card to the woman who was with him. And a few seconds later, we hear Victoria Michael Moore is following us up Broadway after exchanging pleasantries. He said, we need to talk. We need to talk about food. And so we started doing that. And at one point in one of these phone conversations, I mentioned that I was trying to get a new title for my book because the publisher so disliked Main Street and he said, they're wrong. Let me talk to them. [00:10:21] So in a three way call with my editor who happened to be a Michael Moore fan, a lot of people are not. Have an Academy Award winner and myself. I got my title mainstream again. And when my editor called three days later to tell me that that was my title, it was as if the world opened up. And I knew that there needed to be a main street vegan radio show. I don't think I even knew the term podcast in 2012 that there needed to be a mainstream vegan production company, and certainly that there needed to be mainstream vegan academy which would train and certify vegan lifestyle coaches and educators. So I put that out into the world just before the book was published. And I remember I hadn't had a vegan book since nineteen ninety four new vegan book. And so I didn't know if I had any following in that world or not, but they're amazing. People showed up for that first academy and everything has grown from there. And I believe that the reason for that is that veganism is now a force to be reckoned with. People want it. People are looking for it. Even people who aren't sure they want it like, oh, I'd have to give up cheese are finding it because it's the wave of the future. And certainly right now, even the wave of the present. [00:11:52] Absolutely. And the radio show, it sounds like a lot of these efforts are coming in. Most of the drive behind what you've been doing is this educational platform. And so when you when you launched your radio show, the first big and radio show, did you what did that look like in the beginning? Were you just trying to implement an understanding of some of the core tenets of veganism? Were you interviewing experts? How did you shape shape what you spoke about or who did you interview people? Was the platform not interview based tenet of that look? [00:12:22] Right. It's always been interview based. I actually didn't know how to do something like that. I had had a show in two thousand five and six on the Martha Stewart channel at Serious, which was to become Sirius XM. And then when the Martha Stewart channel took a different direction, I was no longer doing that. But then I had interviewed people. I had interviewed people in the personal growth arena, and many of them were vegan. I had had Jim Bauer from my farm sanctuary. So I'd even put a little bit of vegan in. Back then when I was on tour with the Main Street Vegan book, I got a call from the woman who was then the head of Unity Online Radio, and she said, Would you like to have a radio show? [00:13:13] You can call it Main Street again. It's about time we get back to our roots. Well, come to find out. Unity is a very liberal Protestant denomination that was founded by two extremely dedicated vegetarians. I'm sure they would have been vegans had veganism been a thing in the 1890s when they started out. But they were very staunch vegetarians. They didn't wear leather. And so as they passed away and other people took over the reins of unity, a lot of that fell away. But the foundation was still there. So I have been doing the Main Street Vegan live radio show every other Wednesday identity online radio since June of twenty. Well, and then it's a podcast. So the next morning it goes up on all the podcast platforms. So it is an interview show. And because it is called Main Street Meegan. What that means to me is opening the gate really widely. So we're not specializing to a certain aspect of veganism. [00:14:21] We're not just animals or just health or just the environment. We're not geared to a particular age group. We're not geared to athletes. We're geared to Main Street. And so that means that I get to have on all these incredible guests that represent all of those worlds and other worlds besides people who have followings, people that begins have heard of and people that nobody has heard of. Who are sometimes the most fascinating guests because the stories might not get out in the world. Media are still so relatable and so precious. [00:14:59] Yeah, no, I agree. And I think that it's still necessary to have kind of an overarching view, this unifying factor. And I think there have been a lot of things as of late that have done that as well. [00:15:10] There are works that have happened. You know what? The health and and a bunch of different, you know, forks over knives over the past decade, if you will. And then the game changers. A lot of more recent works that have turned and kind of unified people under an understanding of health, you know, and what veganism is. It unifies humanity largely. And I like the idea that you came and did it that way first, because the niche communities, I always feel can branch off. But they become very sporadic. It's very confusing as someone who's trying to educate in the very beginning. [00:15:43] And I'm curious. So with it, you've had now you've had three books out of the 13 as of late that have been cited as and then kind of touted as these major industry changers. And not to delineate the others, of course. But the love power diet is your personal story of weight loss, as I as I kind of read it. And then there's also the good karma diet. And it's choosing a diet based out of compassion and the global responsibility. The rhetoric within that is kind of how, you know, it's it's thinking about your diet as something that's actually based on questions other than what sounds yummy. [00:16:16] You know, how is this affecting humanity? And I wonder if you can speak to. I don't know if it was in that order. I don't know if it went mainstream. The Love Power Diet and then the good karma diet. But I wonder if you can kind of talk about the road that led you through all of those who were. [00:16:32] Well, actually, the Love Power Diet started a very long time ago. It was first published in nineteen ninety two. And it was my story because I am a compulsive overeater in recovery and that was tough for me. My dad was a diet doctor. [00:16:51] My mother was in the fitness industry for a time and I was a fat kid. Bad for business. So I struggled with that through my childhood and adolescence and young adulthood. [00:17:03] And when I finally got a handle on that through a 12-Step recovery program, I also knew, oh, wow, I really can be vegan because before that I wanted to be vegan. I was vegetarian. I went vegetarian at 19, but I was always running into a problem with either the binge eating disorder would crop up or I would try to pull myself up after a binge and try to lose some weight and get my life back on track. And then all the information out there talked about plain yogurt and egg white. And it was so confusing and so difficult. But once I really got it together on the inner level through that recovery program, and once I knew that a day at a time, if I stayed in fit spiritual condition, I would no longer need to eat for a fix. It became very clear that I could be vegan. And stay that way forever. And I was a little bit afraid of all those carbs. I struggle with weight for so long and I thought, oh my gosh, if I'm vegan and not eating all this protein, what will happen to me? Well, what happened was that I lost over 60 pounds and stayed off for 35 years and counting. And now at 70, I don't have the diseases that were prevalent in my family. There's no high blood pressure, high cholesterol or, you know, any of that kind of stuff that I just assumed would be inevitable through heredity. So that took us a little bit away from the books. I'm sorry for the little. [00:18:48] Oh, no. That's good. I like the back story as well. I think it's so pertinent. You know, when someone speaking of those things. [00:18:55] So did the Love Power diet. If I can just finish on that one, it kind of proves reincarnation because it went out of print after a few years, because in nineteen ninety two, again, not many people were looking for books that had to do with veganism. But then it was republished with a different name, love yourself. Then in 2007 and that one did well enough that it actually went into a mass market paperback. You know those little ones that are in kiosks at at airports and then that eventually went out of print. And there's a wonderful man. Maybe you've had him on your podcast. His name is John peire. He's a personal trainer. He was Ellen Degeneracy, his trainer. And he went to L.A. and kind of endured that to develop enough reputation so that he could leave L.A. and do the good work that he really wants to do. But he said to me, you know, there is nothing out there like the Love Power diet. So I photocopy it for all my clients. And I thought, oh, my goodness, just for John peire. Let me see if somebody will publish this again. So the good people at Lantern Books, which is a big and publishing house here in New York City, did a 2009 edition. [00:20:06] So to anybody who's got an idea that you want to put out there, just do it. You never know when it's going to find its time and when it's going to find its time again. [00:20:17] Absolutely. I think that that's core. You know, I think people underestimate the value of evergreen content. Well, there's updating that can happen. You know, there's reasons why old books are still around. When clean knowledge is clean, you can never get enough of it and it can never be dated. I'm wondering. So with the good karma diet, when and when did you write this and what was the impetus for it? [00:20:41] Well, that that was the first book after Main Street began The Good Karma, which I did in 2015. Actually, I'd had the title prior to that. I had done a lot with raw foods around two thousand eight. And I felt really, really great. And I thought, oh, wouldn't that be a wonderful title, the good karma diet? And I wasn't really in that headspace. You know, winter came. It got cold. I stopped being a rough rider. But my agent, an editor, really liked the concept. And so that was really at the heart of the good karma diet. And it's a little bit more where Main Street Vegan is about every aspect of veganism, sort of like we were talking about the podcast. And I think the reason that it's so wonderful that we have all these aspects to the vegan lifestyle is you open the door that says vegan or you open the door that says plant-based or however you get here, but you find behind that door so much else that in addition to the healthy animals, the environment, you know, there's a whole spirituality world, there's a fashion world, a travel world, a dating and marriage and raising children world. I mean, it's just it's huge. And so that's what Main Street Vegan is all about. But then the good karma diet zeroes in really on the body mind health aspects of this whole thing. And it celebrates a high, green, high raw. And even though I'm not raw, I am high raw diet that I think really likes people up. You know, some people just just want to do this for animals or they really like burgers and fries and cherry pies. And they want to do that in a vegan way that is totally legitimate and totally great. But for those who really want to have that glow, for those who who really want to feel what high level health and vitality is like, that's what I wrote about in the good karma diet. Because if you take this thing up a notch and if you really focus on those fresh, colorful foods, you can look and feel very, very different. [00:22:59] Absolutely. And I think it's bringing about the largest from what I have seen my. Humble experience. [00:23:05] The largest unlikely vegan population. You know, the latest converts and things like that I think are coming about. Even prior to Cauvin 19 were, you know, these these people that just didn't fit the prototype of someone who was searching for that vegan answer and they were coming into the lifestyle. And. And I've had a lot of conversations with even restaurant owners or different people who are saying, you know, my clientele has changed. It's no longer the 20 year old hipster. It's the 50 year old whose doctor said it's now or never. You know, you're going to burn looking at heart disease. It's that kind of a thing that has been creating, I think, more dialog than I've seen over the past 10 years. And I'm wondering, you dropped the word and I usually always wait for my guest to do it because I try to gage how long it takes, which you just said plant based in one of your last questions. And I love this conversation because it's just beginning. And I don't think anyone has a definitive answer. And so it's all very personal. [00:24:00] But I'm hoping that you can define what do the terms plant based as opposed to or in juxtaposition to vegan. Well, what are the differences between those two words for you? [00:24:11] Unfortunately, a plant based has many, many definitions. And that's why I'm not crazy about the term because I am a writer. I love the language and I think that we need to be able to have words that say exactly what they mean. So when some people say plant based, they mean eating more plants than animals. But if you look at it from a per calorie of observation, the standard American diet is plant based because more calories come from non animal foods than from animal foods. Other people will use it to mean something like flexitarian or reduce the Terrian. [00:24:54] I'm getting more and more plant based in my diet. I still eat everything but, you know, lots of salads and lots of Reggie's burgers and stuff like that. And that means plant based. [00:25:04] Now, the term whole food plant based, which was coined by Dr. T Colin Campbell, means that you're not only leaving out animal foods as any vegan would, but you're also leaving out refined products such as oils, sugar, salt, most packaged foods. And this is done for health reasons. And so a lot of people who say that their plant based mean that. And in the states, most people in this world would know what that meant. But if they were to say that to somebody in Europe or Australia, then it would probably be interpreted that they were flexitarian. So it's a little bit confusing. I like the idea of being a plant exclusive. I actually love the word vegan because people finally know what it means. And I think that if you really want people to know specifically what you eat, you could say I'm a whole food vegan or I'm a raw food vegan or I'm a macrobiotic vegan or a diabetic vegan. I think that's very, very clear. But we don't quite have all the terminology down yet. And yet the cool thing about all these terms is that everybody who calls themselves any of these things is on the path. You're sort of on one of those moving walkways at the airport to get to a destination which doesn't just lead to physical health for the individual or the best chance for physical health for the individual. I mean, this is planet Earth. I certainly don't want to be one of those people that says it this way and you'll never get sick. I mean, when you hedge your bets. But listen to that. It's also leading to the sustainability for the planet. So incredibly important and also to a kinder, gentler world to what spiritual teacher I used to have would call the upward progression of the universe. And if you really think about it, who wouldn't want to be part of that? [00:27:14] Yeah, absolutely. And the upward progression of one's life, you know, and then contributing to that universe. I agree. [00:27:21] So the good karma, it sounds like all of these things kind of build this beautiful and perfectly written and scripted platform for your collaboration involved with A Prayer for Compassion, which is the documentary that you did in conjunction with Thomas Wade Jackson and all of his team, the executive producers over there. [00:27:40] Can you speak to how that came to fruition and kind of the time period and for everyone listening? You can see a prayer for compassion on leave. Amazon Prime has it. Is that correct? [00:27:50] Is Amazon Prime and Vimeo. There you go. Very excited. We did a theatrical release because we really wanted a lot of people to be able to see it on the big screen. So we had a. Here in New York City in March of twenty nineteen and another in London in May, and it screened around the country, around the world, there was a two week tour of India with Thomas Jackson and Dr. Stylish Rao, one of our executive producers, and Tyrone Flynn from Game of Thrones, who came in as a supporter and executive producer of the film. So it was out there. And and now we are on Vimeo and Amazon Prime so people can watch that way. So the cool thing about a prayer for compassion, while there's quite a lot, but it's really to me both of the passions that I mentioned to you. It's about veganism. It's about the intersection of vegan values with the teachings of spiritual and religious traditions from around the world. So Thomas meets all kinds of people traversing the US a couple of times. He goes to the UN climate conference in Morocco and tours India, meeting lots of amazing Jains and Hindus and Buddhists. And and we really come to the conclusion at the end of this that regardless of of the name of one's religious or spiritual tradition, every single one is about compassion, mercy, care of the body, care of the planet. And these are vegan values. We just need to make that jump. [00:29:40] Absolutely. And I did I as we talked about earlier. I haven't watched it yet. I'm excited to do that this weekend. And the trailer did look like exactly what you said, the synopsis of this intersection. And within the brief trailer, in fact, you know, there was. [00:29:54] They have a Muslim, a Christian, a Buddhist. All these people kind of giving what you were talking about this march to the rhetoric of the dogma that they have, which is honoring the body and the earth and the environment around it. [00:30:07] So it sounds like it was perfectly suited. Did they find you when you were going to be collaborate on this? Did or was it something that you your people scouted out? [00:30:17] No, actually, we had a book give away the radio show. And it's interesting, in the years of doing the mainstream Reagen show early on and more people listened live on Wednesday afternoons, and now almost everybody gets a podcast because that's what we're used to. But back in 2015, Thomas Jackson was listening live. One day we had a book giveaway. He won the book. And when he was giving his address to the engineer, he asked if I would be in touch with him. And when I called him, he said, Would you like to be the producer of my movie? And my first thought is, I don't know how to produce the movie, but then that it's about veganism and spirituality. And I thought, shoot, I have to learn how to produce a movie. I don't want this one to be made without me. [00:31:06] Mm-Hmm. Yeah. I think that that's that that's the right answer. And it's you know, it's never too, it's never too late to learn a new skill even if it is film production. [00:31:16] That's fantastic. I'm wondering, looking at the local climate, I know everyone's personal conversation and in your case personal and professional kind of intertwined, but I'm wondering if you've had dialog. I know you on your website, you've had these these April shares with your your your customers and your audiences and things where you're sharing your environment and your thoughts and things like that. But for the purposes of this podcast, do you have any look recent dialog regarding Cauvin 19 pandemic and kind of where you see things headed or takeaways that have been really significant for you over the past couple of weeks. [00:31:57] But it's interesting that you would ask that now, because as I told you just before we started, I got my blog post for May just under the Wired today on the Main Street, you can dot net Web site and it's really about that. [00:32:13] It's called Notes from the epicenter of being a vegan in New York City during Koven, 19. [00:32:21] So what I see is first, I guess it's what I feel, which is a great love for my adopted city. I've been here for 20 years. I've been here one year when 9/11 happened and 19 years when covered 19 happened. And I see so much resiliency and so much bounce back. And I think about people in other parts of the country and other parts of the world. And I wonder sometimes if they're thinking we have to go through all this because you're really having the biggest problem in New York. You know, after 9/11, airports became an entirely different. From how they had ever been in the past and everybody had to do that even though the primary attack was was here, and yet I think that sometimes when you hear a very bright light, you're very easy to see. And New York City is a bright light and has historically been that because we are this incredible experiment in people living together. And for the most part, getting along. I remember going to a presentation several years ago in Queens at the park where the 1960 World Fair. Half the World's Fair. Nineteen sixty two, maybe sixty four. That was it. I wasn't there anyway. And Mayor Bloomberg at that time said within ten miles of where we sit. One hundred thirty five languages are being spoken. So in this amazing place, we're very close together. So we are environmental stalwarts in that we have been taking public transportation for years. And yet public transportation is a great way for an infection to spread. People close together holding the same pole. So New York City has been hit very hard by the virus. And what I see just in my life is that it started with like, OK, well, it's all right. Well, we'll mostly stay in, but I'm five blocks from Central Park. I'll take the dog to Central Park every day. That will be lovely. But then that became not wise, certainly for someone at my age who would be considered in the high risk category. So on the one hand, life started getting smaller and smaller. But this miracle happened. I think a lot of people all over the country and all over the world have experienced the same one. And that is how much we all done online. So through Xoom, through Facebook, Leive, through YouTube, we have both received and been able to give much information. And then the other great surprise in this horrible, tragic, awful time, one of those lights that just seems to find its way through in the worst of times is that the world, meaning newspapers, media, are noticing what prior to this, we're just big issues, things that you would read about based news or vege news or live kindly. All of a sudden, the plight of the slaughterhouse workers, the wet markets and the problems there, the similar problems that can come from factory farms in general. It doesn't have to be a wet market in China. It's it's crowding. And and these are all problems. And then we see articles about certain Wendys don't have any meat. And so they're open, but not offering burgers. I mean, whoever bought it. And so the idea is that that is positive in all of this negativity. Is that more and more and more people are thinking about, well, maybe I could eat something else today and that could change the world. [00:36:30] Absolutely. I agree. And I also think anything that brings our conscious thought into questioning connections between ourselves and what we're doing to our bodies is healthy, you know, and looking at these things and starting to question diet even for the most sage of experts. I just don't believe that learning ever stops. You know, even about one's self as opposed to one's community and everything else, and creating a dialog or a space for a dialog or a call for dialog, even if it's on a very individual level, I think is one of the most beautiful things to come from this that end that the room, the reminder that we are all here together. We are you know, we're an entire like creature system. It's not just continents and things of that nature. I was traveling when covered. The pandemic broke out. The State Department advised everyone come home. And I remember thinking it's not it's really unifying. You know, when when something like this happens starts to take place all over the world because everybody starts thinking it doesn't matter what language you're speaking. And I think you get reminded of this a lot in New York City, but in other pockets in places like Australia. I think that it's like a lot like other cities in America where people tend to forget about the global citizenship we all have on a health level. [00:37:45] You know, there's just things that unite us. And they can be good as well as bad. So I think that this is reaching into that. And I hope so, too. I'm wondering when you look forward. I don't know if you and your team or how you personally drive your own business or. Personal life. But most people tend to make goals on some trajectory a year to three years. And this has changed. Obviously the covert conversation changes everyone's dialog, which again is not always a bad thing. But I'm wondering, when you look at the future, particularly with someone such as yourself, this matriarch of the vegan voice. Do you you ever hypothesize you've been given such a history? You know, three decades of this relationship in this industry and all of it that goes and in between. Do you ever hypothesize about where it's headed next? We're talking about contemporary times and everything else. But if you do, can you tell us anything about what you've been thinking about, what the next one to three years and the vegan world or your vegan world looks like? [00:38:48] Yeah, well, I think for the vegan world in general, the future is very bright. And unfortunately, that's prompted by things not looking very bright in terms of climate change and pandemics. But you know what? It has been very not bright for a long time for the animals in the food system. And so it's time it's time that we start looking at this. So I am very excited about this, this move toward a more. And I'm going to say the phrase plant based diet over the next twenty three years. I mean, the sales of pho mates are up 200 percent in April. I mean, this is this is stunning. So I think that veganism is a force to be reckoned with. It's no longer something fringy that odd people do. It's something that just about everybody who is intelligent, educated and up on things does some of the time. And more and more people are doing more of the time. And even all of the time. So that I am very, very positive in terms of my personal vegan world. Like I talk to other people who are in big business. And I think like anybody in any business, we have to be in ratably flexible. So I'm glad I've done yoga for 50 years because mainstream vegan academy that we mentioned has always been in person and I have been very connected to the fact that it's in person because there is something magical about an in-person event. There's a British futurist who said the value of content is rapidly being replaced by the value of breathing the same air. And that was true until 2020. Now and for sometime in the future, we really want to breathe the same air. So we have all discovered Xoom and other online platforms. And so I'm actually going to be offering a Xoom option for Main Street Vegan Academy in 2020. And probably going forward it will be a part and part of probably do a couple of Xoom courses and one I guess we'll call it the elite course in Manhattan. And I think that like so many things that change, even if we go into it kicking and screaming, it's really going to be wonderful because people couldn't come to New York City even in the best of times. We'll never be able to get the certification and go out into the world as vegan lifestyle coaches and educators at a time when more and more people are doing this and more and more people want information. [00:41:36] Absolutely. I've spoken to a couple of personal trainers that have gone out and sought out vegan certifications simply because of their clientele, asking them if they were going to become a little bit more well versed upon it. [00:41:49] So I think it's it's kind of infiltrating a lot of different supply will meet demand, you know, even on the service ramp. So it's exciting. And it's it's it is this summer. And this is a with was previously an in-person weeklong seminar that you offered out of New York City, because that's where you're based. [00:42:06] Right. Yes. And hopefully it will continue to be that in some form, but it's going to have an online component as well. [00:42:15] Absolutely. [00:42:16] So if anyone's listening and they want to kind of drop into we talked about where you can where you can see the documentary and a bunch of other things. But if anyone's listening wants to grab any of your books, is everything on Amazon. You have sites or places that you send people. Should anyone be following you on a specific social media platform? What do you have for us? [00:42:36] Oh, that's so kind. I'm Main Street vegan everywhere. So Facebook and Twitter, you can find me at Main Street Vegan or certainly the website Main Street Meat Vegan dot net. And the books are on Amazon. B end up indie bound wherever you like to buy books. [00:42:54] I love it. Well, Victoria, we're out of time, which is very disappointing to me because I feel like we have just scratched the surface here. I could talk with you. Forever. [00:43:02] But we are going to wrap it up. [00:43:05] I just wanted to say thank you so much for taking the time. Your. You're such a prolific individual and you I know that even in this time of everyone being at home, everyone's busy. And I really appreciate you taking the moment to give myself and our audience your splendid expertise. [00:43:23] Thank you so very much. It's been my pleasure. [00:43:25] Absolutely. And for everyone listening, we've been talking to Victoria Maron. You can find out more on W WW Dot Mainstreet Vigen dot net until we speak again next time. [00:43:36] Remember to eat well, eat clean and always bet on yourself. Sainte.
Changing how you drink can shine a light on how you eat. This week's guest is Victoria Moran, an author, activist, podcaster, and producer, who has been a pioneer of veganism since her first book on the subject was published in 1985—and I invited her on the show to talk about what she sees as the common ground between being sober curious and veg-curious.With a history of compulsive eating, which she got sober from with Over Eaters Anonymous, Victoria is also a non-drinker—having decided at age 19 she didn’t want to risk becoming addicted to alcohol. In this episode we discuss: -The power of having an accountability buddy when making or breaking a habit.-Being a vegan pioneer for 37 years – and the similarities between the meat-free and alcohol-free movements.-Veganism as a celebration of life – and the role of animals in our ecosystem.-Victoria’s history as a compulsive eater – and her recovery with Over Eaters Anonymous.-Her decision aged 18 never to start smoking or drinking.-How to host a sober vegan party (for meat-eating drinkers).-Emotional conditioning versus rational thinking when it comes to our addictions to food and drink.-Thinking about veganism as a “good karma” diet.-The science that makes cheese as addictive as cocaine – and what makes some foods more addictive than others.-Living a life of integrity and “spiritual fitness” - and her definition of both.-The long-term health impact of our lifestyle choices.Discover more about Victoria and her work HERE follow her on Instagram HERE and check out her Main Street Vegan podcast.This episode is supported by Seedlip.

Named by VegNews in 2019 as one of the top 20 most influential vegans in the world, she utilizes her degree in plant-based nutrition to inform her impassioned messages as an advocate on behalf of humans, planet earth and animals.Never one to shy away from facing staggering odds – just like she did in the Olympics while riding for Team USA, whose unlikely and triumphant story is chronicled in the Netflix documentary “Personal Gold” – her latest initiative is founding the non-profit Switch4Good. Switch4Good launched in early 2018 with a television commercial featuring six Olympians from four different countries and proves that cow’s milk is not part of a high-performance diet.

This episode is brought to you by Vivo Life! Use our code 'chickpeeps10' to get 10% off your order at vivolife.com! For many vegans, animal welfare activism can feel problematic. Why advocate for better farming practices when you'd rather not endorse animal farming at all? Isn't it betraying the animals to be demanding anything less than their total freedom? And can animal welfare organisations really be working towards a vegan world whilst they are working alongside the companies killing animals for profit? This week co-hosts, Tylor and Evy discuss the complicated role of animal welfare in vegan activism and speak to expert animal welfare campaigner and hardcore vegan activist, Sean Gifford, of Compassion in World Farming to gain some valuable insights on how to straddle both the vegan and welfare approach to helping animals. Also on this episode… How a small gesture by a chipmunk inspired Sean's vegan awakening. Sean discusses his multiple arrests for the animal rights cause and why nowadays he tries to avoid brushes with the law. How a vegan deals with having to use welfare language like ‘humane meat'. Why must abolitionists be so rude online?!, Evy asks and Tylor explains. ‘Anyone in the animal protection movement, I think we should all just focus on what we share which is that unyielding belief that animals can feel pain and lead emotional lives from a chick to a pig, to a cow to even fish, the forgotten factory farmed animal.' Is veganism too idealistic to be achievable? Ending the Cage Age. The government are making ‘sympathetic noises' but you can also help CIWF stop live exports.

On today's podcast, I talk to Victoria Moran from Main Street Vegan about starting Grape Cat and give some tips on vending at a vegfest, about starting Grape Cat and give some tips on vending at a vegfest. I started doing craft shows, farmers markets, and beach festivals fifteen years ago to promote my surfing and kids' t-shirt business. My wife started making jewelry, so I was selling that too. The jewelry was outselling the t-shirts, so I began investing in cheap jewelry that I would buy for a couple of dollars then mark up. The problem with this is that you need to sell a lot of cheap pieces just to break even for the tablespace. We have been able to grow Grape Cat by being a vendor at VegFests. Here are ten things I wish I had known before becoming a vendor.

Episode 49 is here and this week I was so very fortunate to interview Victoria Moran from Main Street Vegan and here her amazing story overcoming food addiction with a plant based diet.
Recently, Integral Yoga teacher Carole Kalyani Baral was interviewed on Unity Online Radio's "Main Street Vegan" program by its host Victoria Moran. In this excerpt from the show, Kalyani talks about her Integral Yoga journey, becoming a vegetarian (and, later, vegan), and the health challenges that culminated in a life-threatening diagnosis. Kalyani discusses how a liver transplant, Yoga, and a healthy lifestyle gave her a new lease on life and a renewed dedication to selfless service. Kalyani also talks about contributing several sections to the new book, The Yoga Way: Food for Body, Mind & Spirit by Swami Satchidananda and that she was instrumental in bringing to fruition. https://www.unityonlineradio.org/main-street-vegan Ⓟ© 2018 Unity Online Radio
Victoria Moran is a renowned author, speaker, vegan lifestyle coach and educator, and the host of the popular podcast, Main Street Vegan. Victoria has been vegan for over three decades and has dedicated her career to helping people eat plant-based themselves and remove cruelty from every aspect of their lives.

Victoria Moran (www.mainstreetvegan.net) is the author of thirteen groundbreaking books about inner and outer wellbeing, and has appeared on The Oprah Show, Today Show, Good Morning America Now, and NPR's All Things Considered. She's been an ethical vegan for thirty-five years, maintaining a 60-pound weight loss as a result. Victoria's undergraduate thesis in religious studies became the 1985 Compassion the Ultimate Ethic: An Exploration of Veganism – her first book and the first full-length book on vegan philosophy and practice ever to come from an actual publisher. Twelve additional books have followed, including the best-selling Creating a Charmed Life (in 30 languages), the essential vegan weight loss guide, The Love-Powered Diet; the good health/peace-of-mind manual, The Good Karma Diet; and the genre classic: Main Street Vegan, which VegNews magazine called “The Vegan Bible, New Testament,” and which Ellen Degeneres wrote “offers practical advice and inspiration for everyone interested in going vegan, no matter what tax bracket you're in!” Victoria was assisted on Main Street Vegan by her daughter, Adair, a lifelong vegan who is now an aerial performer, a stuntwoman, and a wildlife rehabilitator. Victoria has written for Yoga Journal, Mothering, Natural Health, Woman's Day, Martha Stewart's Whole Living, Vegetarian Times, VegNews, and The Huffington Post; and her work has been noted in publications included USA Today, The Chicago Tribune, Self, Real Simple, Glamour, Woman's World, Vegan Health & Fitness, and O the Oprah Magazine. She hosts the weekly Main Street Vegan podcast, recipient of a Vegan Media Outlet 2015 Award. In addition, she has appeared on the covers of Barefoot Vegan and La Fashionista Compassionista magazines, and she was voted Peta's Sexiest Vegan Over 50 in 2016. A moving and engaging speaker, a certified holistic health counselor (CHHC, AADP) and graduate of the T. Colin Campbell/eCornell program in plant-based nutrition, Victoria is the founder of Main Street Vegan Academy, training Vegan Lifestyle Coaches and Educators in a boutique program in Manhattan with graduates from twenty-four countries. The program inspired The Main Street Vegan Academy Cookbook, coauthored with JL Fields, which debuted in December 2017 in the number 1 spot in vegetarian diets on Amazon. Victoria is also the producer of A Prayer for Compassion, a documentary from filmmaker Thomas Jackson which will debut this fall with the mission of introducing veganism to people who identify as religious or spiritual. She lives with her husband and their rescue dog, Forbes, and a handicapped rescue pigeon, Thunder, in a LEED-certified green condominium in Harlem. In this episode, Victoria shares her one way ticket to the mystical isle of Avalon. She also shares the myriad of reasons why one should explore adopting a vegan lifestyle. Victoria is just one of the accomplished guests featured on The One Way Ticket Show, where Host Steven Shalowitz explores with his guests where they'd go if given a one way ticket, no coming back! Destinations may be in the past, present, future, real, imaginary or a state of mind. Steven's guests have included: Nobel Peace Prize Winner, President Jose Ramos-Horta; Legendary Talk Show Host, Dick Cavett; Law Professor, Alan Dershowitz; Broadcast Legend, Charles Osgood; International Rescue Committee President & CEO, David Miliband; Grammar Girl, Mignon Fogarty; Journalist-Humorist-Actor Mo Rocca; Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr.; Abercrombie & Kent Founder, Geoffrey Kent; Travel Expert, Pauline Frommer, as well as leading photographers, artists, chefs, writers, intellectuals and more.
You've heard it before, 'veganism is a religion, and I've already got one', or even the extreme, 'veganism is a cult'. Today we're exploring the connection, or lack thereof, between religion and veganism. Today's guest Victoria Moran of Main Street Vegan shares her take on veganism & religion, how veganism isn't a diet even though she's lost 60lbs through this lifestyle, and how veganism has changed in the 35 years Victoria has been vegan.

Victoria shares her struggle going vegan as she was trying to overcome a binge eating disorder. What is a ‘Main Street Vegan?' ‘If we're going to have a vegan world then we're going to have to be open to liberals and conservatives and religious people and atheists and agnostics and rich people and poor people…the way I look at it is that every human being has at least one thing in common and that is that we all have a heart.' The Main Street Vegan Academy - Victoria describes the process of becoming a Vegan Lifestyle Coach Attractivism - Living in a way that makes other people want what you have. Is attractivism enough?

This idea of empathy and sharing our stories, especially our deep and vulnerable ones, has been coming up a lot for me lately, from panel discussions on politics and social media I’ve participated in to podcasts I’ve been on talking about the power of public speaking to build trust and empathy. Empathy is defined as the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. I would add to that not just feelings, but their life situation and what brought them to where they are today. My guest today is Karen Millsap, the founder of The Grief Consultant, which helps organizations implement practical empathy in the workplace to strengthen engagement and improve overall performance. In this episode, we talk about: Why Karen started her company The impact of vulnerability in sharing your story What kinds of speaking engagements Karen has done and how she’s used them to build her business and network How Karen has gotten speaking engagements Her new podcast Invest Human and how she sees it aligning with her business goals What it’s like to be a woman in her field What she wants to be known for Karen also founded Well Now Global Retreats, wellness-inspired retreats to help you navigate complex or suppressed emotional baggage and also teach you how to implement simple healthy habits that will change, and can often save, your life. Karen has a book coming out soon called “Now What?”, in which Karen shares her journey of healing and personal development and gives you guidance on how to pick yourself up, grow through any hardship, and ultimately unleash the best version of yourself.

In today’s episode of The Plant Trainers Podcast we talk to Victoria Moran about living a vegan lifestyle and Main Street Vegan. We discuss the definition of vegan which is possibly more encouraging than you may think. While looking at the development the vegan and plant-based world has made over the last 30 years we see a very big opportunity for a better planet with even more compassionate dietary and lifestyle vegans in the future. The more we expose our children to a life of compassion and plants, the better lives they will live later on. We love Victoria’s tips for becoming vegan and suggest you take the movie weekend advice no matter what stage you’re at!

For six months, during our Ride the High Vibe Tour, BJ and I experienced many unforgettable moments as we shared the mic with some of the most vibrant souls in our nation. Today’s guest, Victoria Moran, is one of those people. Victoria is a bestselling author, obesity survivor and current title holder of Peta’s Sexiest Vegan Over 50. Victoria lives her brilliance and intelligence by example through a vibrant vegan life. Dedicated to saving the lives of as many animals as she can while on this earth, she has created an entire lifestyle around her mission. Most notably known for her iconic book, Main Street Vegan, Victoria is a very big name in the plant-based world and we are quite honored to share her story with the YT community. I am almost done with reading this book and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who is plant-curious. I’ve been vegetarian for most of my life and vegan for over five years, I have learned so much from this book because honestly living a harmless life is found on so many levels. Victoria meets you where you are at and her style of writing is a joy to digest. Victoria is the author of the first book on vegan ethics from a publisher, Compassion The Ultimate Ethic, which, was, in fact, her college thesis. She was introduced to the vegan life while living in London during her days in fashion school although she had already been living as a vegetarian for many years. She remained vegetarian because being vegan, at the time, felt too extreme. The daughter of parents who held professional roles in the weight loss industry, Victoria describes herself as the fat kid who suffered from food addiction and weight issues for decades. Always curious about the idea of “beyond”, Victoria shares her first spiritual experience as a child and reveals the person who had a profound effect on her life at a young age. Victoria remains a very curious person and pulls much of her literary prowess from those around her. She lives in Harlem with her husband William and their dog Forbes. She is so clearly in love with the energy of New York City and admittedly prefers coffee shop writing over seclusion. In our conversation, we talk about everything vegan and the way in which Victoria articulates her insight makes living the vegan lifestyle feel logical and attainable. We address all the frequently asked questions, the ones that all vegans had at their vegan beginnings, and she shares beautiful advice for those who are just getting started. Main Street Vegan opened up so many doors for Victoria, one of which is her Main Street Vegan Academy where she certifies participants as Vegan Lifestyle Coaches and Educators. Without any guarantees of anyone showing up, Victoria opens the doors to the Academy. Years later that academy is thriving and she describes it as a five and a half day miracle. The caliber of her speakers is mind-blowing as is the diversity of the program and subject matter addressed. This is a full-spectrum professional development training academy and we’re secretly hoping for one on the west coast soon. Victoria describes her vegan lifestyle as a wonderful ethical stance and, although she is clearly in it for the welfare of animals, her vitality and vibrancy shine like the North Star. We hope you enjoy today’s episode with Victoria Moran, she is so well-spoken and eloquent in her delivery. We truly cherished our moments with her and are so happy to have her in the YT community.

Adair Moran, a New York State Licensed Wildlife Rehabilitator and co-founder of Urban Utopia Wildlife, joins us for an intimate discussion on the plight of animals, veganism and working with wildlife.When many people hear of “going vegan,” they may assume that one is doing it for the health benefits – after all, it’s one of the healthiest ways to eat as you consume so many phytochemicals and nutrients from living food. But, there’s another side to veganism: it’s good for our planet, because it uses fewer resources and doesn’t support industrial livestock farms, which face criticism for their treatment of animals. Adrian will talk to us about the animals she’s worked with and how we can coexist lovingly with them.Adair is also the co-author of the book Main Street Vegan, with her mother, author Victoria Moran (who has been on ‘Vegan and the Living is Easy’ several times). She’ll dish to us about how she has managed to eat vegan while traveling all over the world!As another special treat, she’ll even share with us how being a lifelong vegan has impacted her “other job” of being a stunt performer and aerialist who can frequently be seen performing stuns in films and television shows!
