*Links mentioned in the episode are at the bottom of this page.

One of my very first opportunities to be interviewed was given to me by Victoria in 2016 for her Mainstreet Vegan Radio show (now also a podcast)!

Victoria Moran, shown here with her daughter and Main Street Vegan coauthor, Adair, has been a Main Street Vegan® for 37 years and she held the title of Peta’s Sexiest Vegan Over 50, alongside the male winner, Joel Kahn, MD, in 2016/17.
Victoria is the bestselling author of thirteen books, including Creating a Charmed Life (in 30 languages around the world); the gentle weight-loss classic, The Love-Powered Diet, reflecting the author’s own struggle with and recovery from compulsive eating; The Good Karma Diet, celebrating a high-green, high-raw, high-energy food style; the iconic Main Street Vegan; and her latest, The Main Street Vegan Academy Cookbook, coauthored with JL Fields. Victoria’s college thesis became Compassion the Ultimate Ethic: An Exploration of Veganism, originally published in 1985 and the first work on vegan philosophy and practice to come from a major publisher.
Victoria is also an inspirational speaker, corporate spokesperson, certified holistic health counselor (HHC, AADP), and founder and director of Main Street Vegan Academy, training and certifying vegan lifestyle coaches. A graduate of the T. Colin Campbell Foundation/eCornell program in plant-based nutrition and a certified Holistic Health Coach (HHC, AADP), she hosts the Main Street Vegan radio show/podcast, awarded the Outstanding Vegan Media Outlet award in 2015, and noted by Feedspot in January 2019 among #3 in the Top 25 Vegan Podcasts.  If interested in our academy, click here to apply. And she is the lead producer of Thomas Wade Jackson’s exquisite documentary, A Prayer for Compassion, to introduce vegan living to people of faith.
Cited by VegNews among the Top 10 Contemporary Vegetarian Authors, Victoria appeared twice on The Oprah Winfrey Show and her articles have appeared in Yoga Journal, Mothering, Natural Health, Woman’s Day, Martha Stewart’s Whole Living, VegNews, and Vegetarian Times. Her work has been noted in USA Today, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, Self, Elle, Glamour, Allure, and O, the Oprah Magazine.
Moran lives with her husband, writer, and musician, William Melton, in a LEED-certified green condominium in New York City’s thriving Harlem neighborhood. They’re co-humans to a rescue-dog, Forbes, and rescue pigeon, Thunder.
Victoria has one of the most beautiful and inviting spirits of anyone I’ve ever had the fortune of knowing.
Enjoy our fascinating conversation covering a wide range of topics related to veganism and spirituality!

The “A” Word (EP 73: The Vegan Life Coach Podcast)

We hear it all the time… “I need accountability!”

LISTEN/WATCH

Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Stitcher | Spotify |  YouTube

*Links mentioned in the episode are at the bottom of this page.

When it comes to getting results (whether the goal is weight loss, getting off statins, or simply loving the person you see in the mirror), accountability can help you start eating a whole food plant-based diet, exercising consistently, meditating, and implementing other forms of self-care.

But how do you stay motivated long after your willpower runs out? 

How do you break the old, unhealthy patterns you’ve been trying to replace for years? 

How do you adopt a new way of life when the old way is so ingrained? 

In this actionable episode, we dive into the topic of accountability and give you simple yet powerful strategies you can apply to your life starting today!
