Hi Mama!

If you've been curious about plant-based eating but feel totally overwhelmed by the idea of thinking you have to give up meat, figuring out protein, or cooking meals your family will actually eat—this episode is for you.

Today, I’m joined by Anna Tseng, a plant-based Registered Dietitian, Transition Coach, and the founder of PlantNourished. She’s also the host of Plant-Based Eating Made Easy, and honestly, her approach to plant-based living is one of the most down-to-earth and doable I’ve seen.

We talk about the biggest misconceptions around plant-based eating (like the fear of not getting enough protein), how a plant-based lifestyle can help with disease prevention, and how to navigate picky eaters in your home without cooking two separate dinners every night.

Anna also breaks down the actual science behind plant-based health benefits, and gives us some easy, realistic ways to get started—even on a packed schedule.

If you're sick of feeling confused by all the food rules or unsure if this lifestyle could really work for you, you’ll walk away from this conversation feeling encouraged, empowered, and totally capable.

In this episode, we cover:

  • Why plant-based eating doesn’t have to mean bland meals or hours in the kitchen
  • The truth about protein (and why most people are actually getting more than they need)
  • Simple strategies for navigating picky eaters and busy schedules
  • How plant-based eating can help prevent or manage chronic disease
  • A better way to transition—without the all-or-nothing mindset

Whether you’re plant-based curious or just tired of feeling stuck in your health, this episode is packed with hope, encouragement, and real-world tools to help you move forward.
