This month’s theme is all about gratitude! Having gratitude and bringing gratefulness into your life every single day is so important. The more you lock into gratitude, the more you lock into what truly matters. Your day will become more positive, you’ll focus on what’s really important to you, and your overall life will change for the better!

 

Today on the podcast, Tamal and Victoria Dodge are joining us! Tamal and Victoria are an incredible power couple who run the amazing blog, The Yoga Plate! The Yoga Plate is a plant-based recipe blog where, together, they share their love of healthy, delicious, and nourishing food. And most recently, they released their new book (based off their fantastic blog!) called, The Yoga Plate: Bring Your Practice into the Kitchen with 108 Simple & Nourishing Vegan Recipes. Through this one-of-a-kind cookbook, Tamal and Victoria introduce readers to the philosophy of yoga as it is reflected in our eating choices. They’re also big proponents of practicing gratitude, which is a theme throughout their book as well!

 

Join us today to hear all about how we practice gratefulness, how Tamal and Victoria practice gratefulness (through yoga, food, and all other aspects of their life), their fantastic book and blog, the importance of a plant-based diet and lifestyle (not only for you but your neighbors and the world), and their tips for how you can begin to incorporate more gratefulness into your everyday life!

 

We don’t want you to wait until Thanksgiving to be grateful! Join us today on this week’s podcast to get started right now!
