In this episode of The Keto Vegan, I’m talking about what it feels like to be the only vegan in your family — the loneliness, the comments, the Sunday roasts you wish you could unsee. But I’m also diving deeper into something even harder to face: indifference. That blank stare when you speak from the heart. That shrug when you bring up the planet or the animals.

This episode was inspired by a tarot card that reminded me: we can grieve, but we must not drown. I’ll share a powerful story from my daughter’s childhood, why I stopped arguing with my mum about lamb, and what it means to clean the world’s water — physically and metaphysically.

If you're feeling frustrated, unseen, or just over everyone’s apathy — this one’s for you. You’re not alone. And you’re not powerless.

Best Moments:

“I prefer love on my plate rather than fear, sorrow, and terror and sadness.”

“It’s not just about the not understanding — it’s the indifference. Their indifference is astonishing, isn’t it?”

“The opposite of love is not hate. It’s indifference.”

“You can’t drown in grief — you’re not useful if you do.”

“Do your small but important part in cleaning the world’s water, physically and metaphysically. That will clean your heart as well.”

“We must take responsibility — but without martyrdom.”

“You’re no longer outsourcing your conscience. You’re taking responsibility for your actions.”

“Keep true to your beliefs. We attract our vibrational energy. People will start to pick up on it.”
