The Lively Show

  Listen and subscribe via iTunes.   The second episode is here! First of all, thank you so much for the outpouring of support for the first episode with Erin last week! It was so wonderful to see how well received the show was, and I cannot thank you enough for spreading the word about the show, particularly via Twitter. In today's show, I interview Jessica Murnane, a Chicago-based blogger and plant-based eating coach over at OnePartPlant.com, whom I've had the privilege to befriend over the past six months. I will say right away: this episode is not intended to "push" a plant-based eating agenda. I simply find Jessica's health story inspiring, her resulting career shift fascinating, and I think her journey is an amazing example of someone turning their 'mess into their message,' as Joyce Meyer says. So whether you are interested in eating a plant-based diet or not, I hope you join us!   In this episode you'll find out about   How Jessica's avoided a hysterectomy due to severe endometriosis by switching to a plant-based diet. The emotional toll and reaction to making a positive shift from friends and family. How to deal with naysayers. How Jessica started a plant-based movement among the top restaurants in Chicago and beyond. What resistance she faced internally to making this shift in her life. How to get enough protein on a plant-based diet. How to handle having selective eating choices in a group setting. What to do if you have an overzealous friend on a new eating plan. What Jessica would advise someone considering a plant-based diet.   Show Notes    OnePartPlant.com Isa Does It   Listen to the show Listen and subscribe via iTunes.       PS - Please leave a review on iTunes!

This first episode features one of the nicest people I've ever met (online or offline), Erin Loechner. You may know her by her fame from DesignForMankind.com, DesignForMinikind.com, or her newest - and largest - project to date, ClementineDaily.com.   In this episode you'll find out about   How Erin got started in blogging. Where she draws the online line between public and private life for herself and for her daughter. Why Erin quit the rat race and slowed her life down intentionally. Erin's biggest business challenge with Clementine Daily. Erin's journey to adopt a child from Africa (and the #1 thing to beware of in overseas adoption). How Erin juggles motherhood, work, and marriage in her daily schedule using "golden hours." (This part is amazingly helpful!) The biggest resistance and doubt that Erin had to overcome to get where she is today. And last but not least, what Erin would like to say to someone just starting out.   Show Notes The E-Myth Revisited The Renaissance Soul   I hope you enjoy the show! Listen and subscribe via iTunes.
