🌱💛 Self-Care, Deliciousness + Doing Some Good.
One of the things I love most about Plant Positive is that “healthy living” gets to mean a LOT of things.
Yes, there’s food. Always food. 😆
There’s also mindset, self-care, practical coaching, taking action for the animals — and a lovely bunch of humans figuring things out together.

A little peek at what we’ve been up to this week...
💛 30 Days of SELF-CARE.
We kicked off our September challenge with a focus on self-talk — noticing the way we speak to ourselves and remembering that self-care doesn't need to become another thing to fall behind on.

Next week we're moving into Values + Beliefs — and how to use what matters most to you as a practical filter for where you spend your time, energy and attention.

💚 Let’s Figure It Out Together.
This week's coaching question:
What if you stopped asking, “Am I trying hard enough?” and started asking, “What’s actually working?”
Because more effort isn't always the answer.
Sometimes we need to measure what matters, notice what's working — and calibrate.

😋 SELF-CARE… But Make It Delicious.
Because naturally I decided we should EAT our self-care. 😂
So we built a whole SELF-CARE menu:
🌱 Shepherd’s Pie
🌱 Easy Edamame + Bean Bowl
🌱 Lasagna Beans
🌱 Frying Pan Samosa Pie
🌱 Corn Fritters
🌱 Annie Galli’s Anzac Biscuits
🌱 Crispy Rice Paper Rolls
🌱 Edamame Guac + Crispy Quinoa Baked Veg Bites
S-E-L-F-C-A-R-E. Done. 😆

🐾🌏 Freedom Fridays.Our weekly thread for turning caring into action — sharing petitions, action alerts and simple ways we can support the causes closest to our hearts.

💛 Everything Counts. Especially THIS.
We know every meal matters. Every choice matters. Every life matters.
Yet when it comes to ourselves, we can be strangely reluctant to count every good decision.
So we talked about something I believe deeply:
You don't need to wait for perfection before giving yourself credit for progress.

🥔🧀 And this week's Vegan Recipe Glow-Up...
Cheeseburger Tater Tots with cashew cheddar sauce!
Potatoes + TVP or tempeh + vegan cheddar sauce + tomatoes + onion + whatever crispy, tangy deliciousness I can dream up.

🌟 And perhaps my favourite part?
One of our members, Jenny, shared the loveliest video about getting back into journaling with her Plant Positive Journal.

Because ultimately, that's what I want this community to be.
Useful. Supportive. Delicious. Hopeful.

And right now, Plant Positive is 100% FREE.

🛟 I cling to the fluffy stuff like it’s a life-raft.
And by “fluffy” I mean self-care. 😆
Because caring deeply about animals can be heartbreaking.
When completely unnecessary animal exploitation is happening every day — when profit or pleasure is chosen over someone’s entire life — the urgency is REAL.

And I’ve realised I need things that help me stay happy, strong and hopeful while caring this deeply.
Training. Great food. Journaling. Meditation. Time in nature.
AND...
💚 The people doing incredible work.
🌱 The wins showing attitudes ARE changing.
💛 Deliberately noticing what’s going RIGHT — including in ourselves.
This week’s 2–6–9 Good News email is about exactly that:
What keeps us going.

Inside I’m sharing:
✨ 2 quotes — including one of my all-time favourites on action + despair.
🌱 6 wins, recommendations + recipes — including why a vegan politician talking seriously about ending factory farming feels more significant than it might first appear...
PLUS a doctors’ group taking on industry influence in US dietary guidelines...
PLUS two recipes involving tofu, broccoli and glorious amounts of sauce. 😋
🧠 And 9 words for those of us trying to turn heartbreak into something useful.
One little practice you can steal from the email RIGHT NOW?
Before today is over, give yourself credit for THREE things you did well.
Big. Tiny. Seemingly ordinary.
It ALL counts.
Sometimes I finish my journaling with:
“You did well today, hon.” 😉
And you know what? It feels REALLY good.
Positive reinforcement isn't something we only need from other people.

✈️🌎 LAST DAY: FREE postage on Plant Positive Journals! 🎉
3 Journals. $90 AUD. Postage on me. 💗
My Plant Positive Journal has my heart all through it.
It’s my little vegan Trojan horse. 🌱

A way to spread more love, compassion and deliciousness around the world — while helping people build a life as strong, healthy and happy as the values they stand for.
It’s a tribute to my dear mum, Annie. 💗

And it’s my way of continuing with one of the most impactful habits of my life: journaling.
It’s where I get clear on what matters.
Where I work through the messy stuff.
Where I set goals, make plans, notice my wins and remind myself of the progress that’s so easy to overlook when I’m already focused on the next thing. 😆

The Plant Positive Journal brings all of that together — with plenty of space to make it completely YOURS.

And for the LAST DAY, I’m doing something I very rarely do:
🌎 FREE POSTAGE on the 3-Journal Bundle. 🎉
3 Plant Positive Journals for $90 AUD — and I’ll cover the postage to every country I currently ship to. 💗

Keep all three and you’ve got three years of journaling ahead of you — or keep one and spread a little Plant Positive love with the others. 💚
The sale officially ends September 1st and, thanks to the magic of time zones, many of you are still there. 😆

So this is your final call!
👉 GRAB THE 3-JOURNAL
https://strongbodygreenplanet.lpages.co/plant-positive-journal-v2/
Then this sale is DONE.

And I’ll go back to talking about self-care and trying to convince you that sitting around doing absolutely nothing for three minutes counts as productive personal development. 😆💛

💛🎉 A peek at this week inside Plant Positive... 👀🌱
We’ve just started our 30 Days of SELF-CARE.

And this is NOT going to be about becoming a more productive, optimised human or adding 17 new habits to your life. 😆

In fact, some of our best work this month might be about removing.

Less pressure. Less overthinking. Less energy spent on things we can’t control. Less unhelpful self-talk.

And a little more space for what actually matters. 💚

Over the four weeks we’re exploring self-talk, values + beliefs, protecting the “big rocks” that matter most, and being more thoughtful about who gets our time and energy.

I’ve shared a little sneak peek here... 👀
