Hi Amanda! Just wanted to drop you a quick note to tell you how much I enjoyed listening to your podcast. I just listened to your first episode yesterday! It was great and I am looking forward to more to come! It sounds like you and I how a lot in common. I live in a small town that doesn’t have many vegans. Luckily I have my boyfriend Alex who converted shortly after I did. But other than him I’ve never met another vegan in person. I like you found community in vegan podcast’s. It’s so great to have a new voice to listen to and feel support from. Sending you many blessings and positive vibes
Kate: Thank you for making my day! Wow, you are so lucky that Alex and you are on the same page. It was a big relief to me when my husband Lars went vegetarian, and I hope he’ll get to veganism one day. I’m working on episode two, which will be about vegan travel, among other things, and hope to have it up within the next week or two. They say by the 7th episode it will get easier. Just know that I’m committed and will be putting out more shows and have lots of ideas! Please stay in touch and feel free to email me at [email protected]

Hi Amanda, I am a 59 year old vegan curious male. I just finished listening to your podcast. Just wanted to say thanks. I found the information very helpful. I never thought of Trader Joe’s as a place to find vegan food. I look forward to the next installment. Great job and keep them coming!
Hi Joe: Thank you so much, I really appreciate the feedback. I’m working on Episode Two and hope to have it over to itunes next week. Thanks again, the encouragement means a lot. Amanda
Hi Amanda,
I just found your podcast a couple days ago and am thrilled! I am in the process of going vegan in order to optimize my health. Episode 1 is so helpful for us beginners. In episode 2 to spoke about Veggie Heaven in Denville, NJ. I have passed by that restaurant about 100 times. Now I have to go in! I do shop a Trader Joe’s and it is a wonderful place. Whole foods and Fairway Market are great too. Thank you for your work. I look forward to
more episodes. They are very encouraging.
Wow, Cheri, thank you so MUCH for the feedback! When I was recording, I wondered if anyone would go to Veggie Heaven because of the podcast, and now I know it was worth it. Ok, now I’m inspired to get to work on future episodes. Please keep me updated on how you’re doing, ok. Amanda
