Host, Julie Marty-Pearson, often says our pets find us, and that isn't truer than for guest Tenny Minassian. Tenny's adopted canine companion, Lucy, inspired not only a profound personal transformation but also a children's book, "Lucy Goes to the Gentle Barn." Her tale is one of convincing traditional parents to open their home to a family pet, leading to an adventure of love and life lessons that resonate with any heart that has felt the warmth of a furry friend. Lucy’s tripe to real-world sanctuary The Gentle Barn, illustrates many important lessons we can all learn from animals.
What begins with the adoption of a pet often leads to unexpected personal revelations. For Tenny, it was the inspiration to embrace a vegan lifestyle. Walking through her transformation and the role of a vegan coach, she offers insights into the challenges and rewards of a plant-based life, from giving up cheese to navigating new ethical choices. Touching on mental health, societal pressures, and the readiness for change, the conversation underscores the profound impact of pet adoption on personal growth and the broader choice to rescue over breeding. Join us for an episode that promises laughter, inspiration, and an invitation to live more consciously with kindness at its heart.
