Remy is a vegan recipe developer and food photographer, specializing in recipes inspired by healing plant based ingredients and herbalism. What began as a food accountability log while in treatment for an eating disorder and her struggles with addiction and mental health, her blog Veggiekins has become a resource for health and wellness tips with a holistic, mind body approach to well being. Today, Remy is an advocate for self love and accessibility in wellness. Outside of the kitchen, she is a yoga teacher, mindfulness coach and a holistic nutritionist. Oh, and a professional snacker.   We Talk About: Navigating wellness “trends” that are from different cultures Keeping wellness tools accessible and in-context with their origins Appreciation versus appropriation Being a “third culture kid” Not feeling completely attached to one culture Not feeling “enough” Not being easily defined with your work Being misunderstood Addiction recovery and sobriety Why alcohol and drugs give us the illusion that we can be someone different from who we are Veganism When you live life with a lot of chosen and unchosen labels Being self-sufficient and advocating for yourself Why you don’t have to be a perfect vegan Vegan lifestyle versus Vegan diet Breaking the vegan stereotypes Making change from a place of feeling good When labels serve us and when they don’t Why words and language matter - especially with labels Being the advocate and activist that fits with your personality and values   “You have to be ready to receive the energy you put out” - Remy Park   Connect with Remy: Online: http://veggiekinsblog.com/ On instagram: https://www.instagram.com/veggiekins/   Connect with Me On instagram: instagram.com/init4thelongrunblog On the blog: http://init4thelongrun.com   Join the Joy Squad Joy Squad Private Facebook Group https://www.facebook.com/groups/thejoysquad/ Chasing Joy Podcast Instagram https://www.instagram.com/chasingjoypodcast/   Listen to Gal Pals Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gal-pals/id1465664059
