My Vegan Journey (Failed Attempts and Difficult Lessons)

I finally made a dedicated, standalone video to discuss my vegan journey/backstory. I think for so many of us it IS a journey and not an overnight thing. This is important to remember when dealing with our non-vegan friends, family, coworkers, etc. It can seem like no one around you understands where you're coming from, but you have no idea where they are on their own journey. Even though I "failed" at being vegetarian and "failed" at being vegan, each time taught me a valuable lesson that ultimately helped get me to where I am today.
