Paige shares her journey into veganism, which was sparked by her daughter's decision to go vegan at the age of 13. Initially unsure of how to support her daughter's choice, Paige found herself on a path of discovery that ultimately led her to embrace a plant-based lifestyle.\n\nThroughout the conversation, Paige reflects on the challenges and triumphs of raising children in a non-vegan world, the social pressures that come with advocating for plant-based living, and how she navigates family dynamics with a non-vegan son. She also opens up about the connection between mental wellness and diet, emphasizing how her shift to veganism improved her overall well-being. This episode offers a heartfelt and relatable perspective on how a parent's journey can be shaped by their children, and how leading with love—rather than being “right”—is key to inspiring change.\n"}
