In case you’re curious… Mic is short for microphone and Mike/Michael, not Mick! And it’s true that his beard doesn’t match his hair naturally (he asks you to please not hate). 

Mic the Vegan is not a doctor, but he is currently studying Public Health at the Master’s level and is a pro at digging into the most unbiased research on plant-based nutrition and feeding it to us in bite-size chunks.

We had a blast chatting about everything from his most controversial videos, to how to discern which research to trust, to building tiny homes… With a lot of laughs along the way!

Enjoy!

Q & A (EP 60: The Vegan Life Coach Podcast)

If you’ve ever felt frustrated by a bloated belly, gotten bean-burn-out trying to eat more protein, or are curious about vegan meal services, Episode 60 of The Vegan Life Coach Podcast is for you!

LISTEN/WATCH

Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Stitcher | Spotify |  YouTube

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

Packed full of golden nuggets, Stephanie and I address some of the most common questions our 6-Week Intuitive Food & Fitness Coaching Program Clients have as they get started in this episode.

The questions we address are:

  • I’ve been waking up with a bloated, soft belly lately. I’m eating vegan with almost all whole foods, working out 5 times a week, and I eat very little sodium. What could be the issue?
  • I’m tired of beans! What other plant foods will give me the protein I need to be strong and build muscle?
  • I’m too busy to cook! Are there any good vegan meal prep delivery services out there?

For more information on the 6-Week Intuitive Food & Fitness Coaching Program, attend my brand new Master Class HERE where I tell you all about it.

You often hear us talking on the show about what an inspiration our clients are. In this episode, you get to hear it from our clients themselves! 

Sure, you’ll discover how our clients lose weight (and keep it off) without even trying, but you’ll find out how our 6-Week Intuitive Food & Fitness Coaching Program goes WAY beyond weight loss. 

We talk about how Jennifer, Wendy, and Susanne found a sense of FREEDOM they never dreamed possible… Freedom that has put them on the path to an extraordinary life filled with unlimited opportunities… A life filled with passion and purpose.

For Susanne, it all started with her decision to attend my master class. And guess what… I have put together a BRAND NEW Master Class that I’m offering for FREE to you for a short time in advance of the next launch of our Coaching Program on June 19th. 

If what you discover on this free training resonates with you, like it did Susanne, you’ll have the opportunity to speak with me personally about the possibility of enrolling in the Program. We cap the number of clients we work with at only 12, and spots are filling up quickly, so don’t procrastinate. NOW is the time to check out the VEGAN MADE EASY: The 5-Step Master Plan for Losing Weight with a Plant-Based “Live-et” training HERE.

The last day to enroll in the Program is June 15th IF we still have a spot open at that point, so don’t wait. Check out this episode, and the free Master Class now… This may be the single most important opportunity you’ve EVER taken advantage of, and you will be ever grateful to yourself for taking action.

Purpose (EP 58: The Vegan Life Coach Podcast)

The phrase, “finding your purpose” makes it sound like a treasure hunt… If you just look hard and long enough, you’ll be rewarded with the purpose (the treasure). That’s simply not how it works!

LISTEN/WATCH

Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Stitcher | Spotify |  YouTube

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

If you are exhausted from wasting your energy in ways that are unfulfilling or realize you’re trying to “fill a void” with food (e.g. emotional eating) or in other unhealthy ways, this episode could be a game-changer!

Once our 6-Week Intuitive Food & Fitness clients begin mastering the SECS (Self-Empowerment Coaching System – episode 7), and begin releasing the old programming that kept them playing small, they’re ready to push fears aside and create not only happy life but also a meaningful life.

During this episode, I tell the story of how I discovered my purpose at a very young age, and how knowing my purpose did NOT save me from struggling with disordered eating, a distorted body image, depression, and anxiety for much of my adult life. I share what had to shift for me to heal and align myself with my purpose so that I could go about fulfilling it in a more effective and joyful way.

Stephanie talks about how her purpose seems to be ever-evolving. She shares how she uses the SECS to change her mindset during particularly challenging workdays (Stephanie works for the Department of Justice, managing addictions programs within the prison system).

The shifts we discuss in this episode are ones that you can make today that will allow you to begin living with both passion and purpose.

Money Mindset (EP 57: The Vegan Life Coach Podcast)

We’re taking the taboo out of money in Episode 57 of The Vegan Life Coach Podcast.

LISTEN/WATCH

Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Stitcher | Spotify |  YouTube

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

Before diving into the topic of “money mindset, ” it’s important to note that, although it’s not the focus of this episode, we want to acknowledge the severe systemic problems (social oppression and institutional racism) that make poverty continue to be such a crisis in this country and around the world. 

If you make one mindset shift today from this episode, it would be to begin to view money as simply an exchange of energy, representing a level of commitment.

Think about that!

“MONEY IS SIMPLY AN EXCHANGE OF ENERGY REPRESENTING A LEVEL OF COMMITMENT.”

When you say those words, do you feel how it takes the taboo away?

In this episode, we talk about how this one shift opened up the opportunity that changed the trajectory of my entire life… The opportunity that led to my success building my brand and coaching business, and in turn has led to the success of hundreds of our coaching clients in every aspect of their lives.

Get ready to be inspired!

And I knew Stephanie would have plenty of powerful insights on the topic of positive thinking culture she’d love to share.

Intuitive Eating Model (EP 55: The Vegan Life Coach Podcast)

If you’re over dieting, and “INTUITIVE EATING” sounds appealing, yet daunting, you’re not alone!

LISTEN/WATCH

Subscribe: Apple Podcast | Stitcher | Spotify |  YouTube

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

In this episode of The Vegan Life Coach Podcast (following some fun storytelling involving skinny margaritas😉) we dive into our simple, 6-Step process for eating intuitively.

The “Intuitive Eating Model” has been a complete game-changer for our coaching clients. It allows you to feel confident about every food choice you make because you make those decisions CONSCIOUSLY (not based on your subconscious programming which runs on autopilot).

Steps for Making Conscious Food Choices

 Next time you have a craving, utilize the “Power Pause” (as taught in episode 7), approach yourself with curiosity and compassion, go through the following steps, and record your thoughts and experiences

Step #1: Ask yourself WHAT specific food are you craving right now? Describe in detail including the quantity.

Step #2: Ask yourself WHY do you want to eat right now? Does your craving seem PHYSIOLOGICAL (true hunger/your body’s need for nutrients)? Is it being caused by a craving due to food addictions? Or is the craving PSYCHOLOGICAL (trigger related to a mental/emotional state (“self-medicating”, avoiding or numbing feelings)?

Step #3: Pause to reflect about how you will FEEL AFTER you indulge? Take yourself through the imagined experience and notice how you’ll feel immediately after you finish eating, 5 minutes after that, a few hours later, and the following day. Consider the positive/negative consequences.

Step #4: Use the Self-Empowered Coaching Model to introduce new thoughts that are in line with your values. Walkthrough the steps of the Self-Empowerment Coaching System and describe.

Step#5: Try an ALTERNATIVE PLAN to address your true needs and take actions that are in line with your values. For a physiological craving, is there a healthier food substitute that will be more in line with your values? For a psychological craving, refer to what you discovered using the Self-Empowerment Coaching System and explore alternative actions that will serve you better (eg taking a walk, calling a friend, putting on a guided meditation, etc.)

Step #6: Whatever decision you make, decide it consciously and eat mindfully with pleasure!
