I feel like an outcast when I have to bring my own #vegan food to a gathering
----
Being #vegan is, in many ways, a tremendously empowering experience. For many of us, becoming #vegan shifted our whole way of thinking about and relating to the world, making us feel more connected with our authentic thoughts and feelings and more engaged with life.
And yet, being #vegan comes with challenges. Because of #carnism, most people have a very limited understanding of what #veganism actually is and of how #vegans experience the world. And because many social experiences revolve around food, we can end up feeling disconnected from our loved ones as a result of choosing not to partake in certain shared experiences.
So what practical steps can you take to move toward greater connection in your #relationships?⌟
