Valerie Martin, a.k.a. Val the Vegan Therapist, is on the show to discuss the importance of navigating the emotional and social challenges of veganism, whether having a vegan therapist is important if you’re vegan yourself, and her favourite techniques for coping with anxiety (because who the heck isn't anxious right now?!)
Valerie Martin is a psychotherapist, coach, and yoga teacher based in Nashville, Tennessee. She’s also a Ravenclaw, Enneagram 7, antiracist ally, intersectional vegan and animal advocate, and Work That Reconnects facilitator. Valerie’s mission is to support the vegan (and veg-curious) community in their mental, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing so they can live more vibrant lives and be stronger advocates for animal and human liberation. She offers 1-on-1 virtual coaching and hosts the Vegan & Vibrant podcast and private community.
