She’s the host of the popular Party in My Plants Podcast and the proud founder of Party in My Plants, an internationally-celebrated wellness platform that helps real, busy, everyday people skyrocket their positive energy to boldly take on the world in any way they wish. Talia’s simple recipes and spunky lifestyle advice have been featured repeatedly on the Dr. Oz Show, The Huffington Post, mindbodygreen, Buzzfeed, Bustle, Success Magazine and more. Her first book, Party In Your Plants, 100+ Plant-Based Recipes and Problem-Solving Strategies to Help You Eat Healthier Without Hating your Life will hits kitchen counters and nightstands April 21st. She lives in New York with her husband and her goldendoodle, both of whom love kale and one of whom eats it off the floor.

Talia is also an ambassador for plant-based superfood company Sunwarrior, which makes some pretty awesome, delicious, and nutritious protein powders and supplements. Sunwarrior is definitely the "OG" in the vegan health food space and if eating more plant-based is your jam and you haven’t tried them yet, definitely check them out at sunwarrior.com. And "pro tip" from their PR gal Susanna, the Cinnamon Roll SolGood bars are insanely good!

In this episode, we discuss:

· Her history of health and stomach issues and how she stumbled upon plant-based eating.

· How difficult it can be and the mental struggle of eating differently than those around you.

· How it’s not so much about knowing what to do or what not to do when it comes to eating in a way that makes us feel better, but more about the courage to make that choice.

· Having a flexible attitude towards your eating preferences so it doesn’t become too restrictive and stressful and allowing yourself to change.

· Different mindsets towards cooking and why it’s important to understand and accept yours.

· How to navigate diet changes when your spouse and/or children aren’t on board.

· The importance of checking in to understand how certain foods make you feel.

· And how to add more plants into your life without subtracting anything.
