Before You Dive Into This Delicious Recipe… 🍲

Let me ask you something.

Have you ever said, “I know I should eat more plants... but I just don’t know how to make it work in real life?”

If so—you’re not alone. And you’re exactly who I created The PlantWhys Collective for.

It’s not a diet. It’s not a challenge.
It’s a lifestyle shift for real women with real lives—who want to feel better, lose weight, and stop feeling overwhelmed by all the “shoulds” when it comes to food.

Inside the Collective, you’ll get:

✅ A gentle, step-by-step 40-day Jumpstart
✅ Weekly live support + check-ins with certified coaches
✅ Quick, feel-good Pilates workouts (just 5 minutes a day)
✅ Monthly mindset coaching and book club
✅ Live cooking classes + bonus cookbooks
✅ And a private community (no Facebook drama here)

It’s like the support system you’ve always wanted, all in one place—with no guilt, no fads, and no shame.

You’ll see everything laid out clearly—whether you want to dip your toe in monthly or go all-in for the year.

You don’t need to go plant-based overnight.
You just need a simple path—and someone to walk it with you.

Now… ready for the recipe? Let’s do this. 🌱
