Well, hello there, sunshine.
00:00:02.166 --> 00:00:06.863
Jared and I are so happy to have you joining us for another episode of Power on Plants.
00:00:06.863 --> 00:00:16.849
We love showing up for you and sharing how incredible, enjoyable and delicious whole food, plant based living can and should be.
00:00:16.849 --> 00:00:23.780
It's not hard, it's just new or a little different from what you're used to when you eat the standard American diet.
00:00:23.780 --> 00:00:32.990
That's why we keep showing up to share with you how simple, enjoyable and tasty this way of living can be, because it can transform everything for you.
00:00:32.990 --> 00:00:37.411
Now, if you've been with us for long, you know how important finding your new favorites is.
00:00:37.411 --> 00:00:49.453
This is something we talk about all the time, and there's a reason for that, because finding your new favorites is key to making whole food, plant based living sustainable for you.
00:00:49.453 --> 00:01:05.570
If you're not yet completely comfortable with finding your new favorites or you think you know I'd love to learn more about that you'll want to come into our free group podcast insiders experience at poweronplantscom forward slash PIE, because in there you can search every single episode.
00:01:05.570 --> 00:01:06.882
What does that mean for you?
00:01:06.882 --> 00:01:13.299
You can go into the search box and type in your new favorites, or just new favorites.
00:01:13.299 --> 00:01:20.841
It is going to pull up every time, in every single episode that we've said new favorites or finding your new favorites.
00:01:20.841 --> 00:01:34.528
And not only will it pull up episodes where it's the title or part of the title, it will pull up exactly where we've said those phrases for you, so that you get the exact information you need when you need it.
00:01:34.528 --> 00:01:37.135
This is game changing.
00:01:37.135 --> 00:01:41.245
But on today's episode, we're not talking about finding new favorites.
00:01:41.245 --> 00:01:45.111
We're going to share with you how to revisit the old.
00:01:45.111 --> 00:01:50.046
This is just as important, and we can't wait to get this information to you.
00:01:50.046 --> 00:01:50.888
Here we go.
00:01:51.950 --> 00:01:54.944
Hey sister, welcome to the Power on Plants podcast.
00:01:54.944 --> 00:02:00.263
Are you tired of staring into the fridge wondering what to eat so you can just feel better?
00:02:00.263 --> 00:02:05.653
Do you want to avoid spending hours in the kitchen making complicated meals in the name of health?
00:02:05.653 --> 00:02:11.913
Would you love to leave fatigue behind and finally have the energy to do all the things you want to do?
00:02:11.913 --> 00:02:19.574
Hi, we're Jared and Anita Roussel, christ followers, health care professionals, parents of four and big fans of great tasting food.
00:02:19.574 --> 00:02:31.719
We, too, tried exercising more, eating natural and clean foods, but we still found ourselves struggling with what we thought were changes that come with age or bad genes, and we weren't finding answers the traditional route.
00:02:31.719 --> 00:02:39.033
So we dug into the research and created our secret nutritional weapon sustainable plant-based living.
00:02:39.033 --> 00:02:42.811
The truth is, you can eat more whole plant foods and it's not hard.
00:02:42.811 --> 00:02:44.405
You just need the way.
00:02:44.405 --> 00:02:48.008
That's realistic and delicious so you never feel deprived.
00:02:48.008 --> 00:02:56.251
If you're ready to enjoy your meals, no longer be held back by your health struggles and actively live your life, then you're in the right place.
00:02:56.251 --> 00:03:01.508
So grab your favorite plant-based cup of happy pop in those earbuds and let's get started.
00:03:01.508 --> 00:03:05.445
Hey there, sunshine, welcome to this episode.
00:03:05.445 --> 00:03:07.483
We are so happy to be hanging out with you again.
00:03:07.764 --> 00:03:17.483
If you're the type of podcast listener who skips through the intro, realize that we share a lot of very important information there, and this episode is no exception to that rule.
00:03:17.823 --> 00:03:21.592
So you need to go back and listen to the intro of this before you continue on.
00:03:21.592 --> 00:03:35.864
Now that you've heard the intro, you know what we're going to be talking about and you have all the information you need, so you don't miss out on the things we've already talked about that are going to be crucial to your long-term sustainability with whole food, plant-based living.
00:03:35.864 --> 00:03:46.213
Today we're talking about something that we really haven't talked about before, but it came up on a recent trip, when I surprised Jared and took him to the beach for our 31st anniversary.
00:03:46.213 --> 00:03:55.233
Now, he had no clue that we were going to do this and, if you don't know, we have four children, our oldest of whom is 19 years old.
00:03:55.233 --> 00:04:07.743
I am embarrassed to share this, but y'all know we're all about being real, so I'm just going to tell you right now it has been 19 plus years that Jared and I have gotten away overnight together.
00:04:07.805 --> 00:04:08.286
Together.
00:04:08.286 --> 00:04:09.268
That's important.
00:04:09.288 --> 00:04:10.189
By ourselves.
00:04:10.390 --> 00:04:15.329
Sometimes we've had to make some trips separately, but together overnight, without children.
00:04:15.469 --> 00:04:16.091
Without children.
00:04:16.091 --> 00:04:17.033
Can you believe that?
00:04:17.033 --> 00:04:18.523
That is insane.
00:04:18.523 --> 00:04:19.745
Why do we wait so long?
00:04:19.745 --> 00:04:21.228
Do not do that to yourself.
00:04:21.228 --> 00:04:23.341
This is crucial for your marriage.
00:04:23.341 --> 00:04:24.925
It is so important.
00:04:24.985 --> 00:04:26.571
We came back, we were refreshed.
00:04:26.571 --> 00:04:28.908
We talked about stuff we hadn't talked about in ages.
00:04:28.908 --> 00:04:30.163
We have new plans.
00:04:30.163 --> 00:04:31.369
We were so creative.
00:04:31.369 --> 00:04:35.110
The course was coming together even more quickly while we were there.
00:04:35.110 --> 00:04:37.928
It just was such an incredible time.
00:04:38.360 --> 00:04:41.201
Listen, get together, even if it's a staycation.
00:04:41.201 --> 00:04:50.000
Get away with your spouse if you're married without the children involved, even if it's a staycation and you're only 30 minutes away.
00:04:50.000 --> 00:05:03.740
We didn't go far because we had other things coming up that week, but we got away to a place where we could get our feet on the ground, get outside together, take strolls together, discover new restaurants together.
00:05:03.740 --> 00:05:05.355
Oh my goodness y'all.
00:05:05.355 --> 00:05:08.560
We found the best place to eat in our area.
00:05:08.560 --> 00:05:12.750
They have some incredible vegan, whole food, plant-based options, but that's not all.
00:05:12.750 --> 00:05:18.762
They have many oil-free ingredients and they also carry mostly organic.
00:05:18.762 --> 00:05:20.130
It may be all organic.
00:05:20.130 --> 00:05:22.016
I'm actually thinking it's all organic.
00:05:22.016 --> 00:05:25.932
We asked questions about everything we got and I was just in shock.
00:05:25.932 --> 00:05:33.293
I was floored and let me tell you it makes such a difference when you can find a place like this in your area, and if you can't, you can always have them.
00:05:33.293 --> 00:05:33.954
Leave things out.
00:05:33.954 --> 00:05:41.267
I don't want you to get discouraged by this, but I want you to understand that there may be places in your area that you have not discovered yet.
00:05:41.267 --> 00:05:44.055
Discover them, because it's going to bring you joy.
00:05:44.516 --> 00:05:46.300
So we went in and we ordered.
00:05:46.300 --> 00:05:47.543
We got some smoothie bowls.
00:05:47.543 --> 00:05:48.512
They were amazing.
00:05:48.512 --> 00:05:52.502
They had nut butters with no oils in them whatsoever that were organic.
00:05:52.502 --> 00:05:54.456
I mean, it was just delightful.
00:05:54.456 --> 00:05:59.714
And you may think this makes no difference at all, but I'm telling you, getting the oils out are key.
00:06:00.136 --> 00:06:05.475
Getting the highest quality ingredients into your body is huge If you want to feel your best.
00:06:05.475 --> 00:06:14.661
Stop aching, start having more energy, the energy that you need to get things done in your life, the things that God's put you here and called you here to do.
00:06:14.661 --> 00:06:18.800
And the way you do that is make daily decisions for yourself.
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:23.161
Do not get overwhelmed and start thinking I've got to do everything all at one time.
00:06:23.161 --> 00:06:32.576
The more you do, the easier it is going to be for you, and we're going to show you exactly how to do that, step by step inside the course, so that you won't get overwhelmed.
00:06:32.576 --> 00:06:48.084
But sometimes you need to get away, to get clarity of thinking and just have some quiet time to yourself to figure out these important things and discover these new things that are already there for you, that are going to help you get to the next level.
00:06:48.444 --> 00:06:51.012
And for us, finding this restaurant was one of those things.
00:06:51.012 --> 00:07:00.963
And after, we had our smoothie bowl and let me tell you, quality makes all the difference, because we did not feel bad afterwards, but not only that it tasted amazing.
00:07:00.963 --> 00:07:04.093
Honest to goodness, best smoothie bowl hands down we've ever had.
00:07:04.093 --> 00:07:07.642
We had two different kinds I tried yours, you tried mine.
00:07:07.642 --> 00:07:08.952
It was delicious.
00:07:08.952 --> 00:07:11.901
There was a little envy, but it was because they were both so good.
00:07:11.901 --> 00:07:18.415
Like, how do you choose and have I don't know how many more choices six, seven that we didn't even try?
00:07:18.435 --> 00:07:19.396
I cannot wait to go back, but we will.
00:07:19.416 --> 00:07:22.062
It's going to be awesome, but here is the thing.
00:07:22.062 --> 00:07:27.470
After that I saw the juice shots and I started thinking you know I'm not doing that anymore.
00:07:27.470 --> 00:07:29.153
Why am I not having those anymore?
00:07:29.153 --> 00:07:30.658
So I picked one up and bought it.
00:07:30.658 --> 00:07:32.742
On the way out, the door Drained my juice shot.
00:07:32.742 --> 00:07:34.547
It was exactly like the kind I used to make.
00:07:34.547 --> 00:07:39.177
It was anti-inflammatory and immunity shot, so it's hot spicy.
00:07:39.278 --> 00:07:41.141
It had ginger in it and it packed quite a kick.
00:07:41.141 --> 00:07:44.213
She let me sample it and I thought this is exactly what we used to make.
00:07:44.213 --> 00:07:49.641
And then the question dawned on us why aren't we still doing this?
00:07:50.622 --> 00:07:52.404
What about our old favorites?
00:07:52.404 --> 00:07:55.639
Yes, why have we left our old favorites in the dust?
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:58.800
I'm going to show you ways that this is not going to happen to you.
00:07:58.800 --> 00:08:04.523
In the course, we're going to go over, step by step, how to keep from forgetting your old favorites.
00:08:04.523 --> 00:08:10.161
This is so important, but today I want to share with you the first step.
00:08:10.161 --> 00:08:12.939
I want you to start thinking and brainstorming.
00:08:13.089 --> 00:08:21.956
What were those things that I used to do for myself, especially the foods I used to eat that I loved, that were good for me, those habits that I got into?
00:08:21.956 --> 00:08:26.557
Like, maybe I was juicing a certain juice and I noticed that when I did that, I felt great.
00:08:26.557 --> 00:08:28.096
But now I'm not juicing anymore.
00:08:28.096 --> 00:08:30.577
Or maybe I'm not doing that exact same combo.
00:08:30.577 --> 00:08:35.133
Maybe it's a meal you ate and you just absolutely loved it.
00:08:35.133 --> 00:08:37.840
It was an old favorite and it was healthy.
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:45.621
Oh, it didn't have any oils, it didn't have bad ingredients, it did only take me 5, 10, 15 minutes to prepare.
00:08:45.621 --> 00:08:49.275
Those are the kind of old favorites you don't want to drop off your radar.
00:08:49.275 --> 00:08:59.809
So today, this is your key takeaway Take some time to yourself in a quiet space, get away for just a little bit and think about.
00:08:59.809 --> 00:09:07.011
What are those old favorites, those things I used to do for my body, food wise that made me feel amazing.
00:09:07.011 --> 00:09:09.258
What were the things that I used to eat?
00:09:09.258 --> 00:09:17.341
Or maybe it's just even not that long ago, but at the start of your whole food plant based journey that you were doing a couple of weeks or a couple of months ago that you've already forgotten about.
00:09:17.341 --> 00:09:22.282
Figure out what those things are and get them back into your lives.
00:09:22.282 --> 00:09:25.019
Start today doing those things for yourself.
00:09:25.019 --> 00:09:29.701
You won't believe what a huge difference this will make for you and how much joy it will bring.
00:09:29.701 --> 00:09:40.898
So I'm sitting there drinking this shot, this juice shot, and I'm thinking this is amazing.
00:09:40.898 --> 00:09:41.921
10 minutes later, I already feel better.
00:09:41.921 --> 00:09:42.503
30 minutes later.
00:09:42.503 --> 00:09:43.244
Wow, I have so much energy now.
00:09:43.264 --> 00:09:47.015
As you know, if you followed along on our journey, energy used to be a problem for me.
00:09:47.015 --> 00:09:52.710
I used to have to force myself to stay awake, and since we've been whole food, plant based and gone all in, I do not have to force myself to stay awake.
00:09:52.710 --> 00:09:57.139
And since we've been whole food, plant-based and gone all in, I do not have to force myself to go to bed at night anymore.
00:09:57.139 --> 00:09:58.462
I have so much energy.
00:09:58.462 --> 00:09:59.110
Jer's going.
00:09:59.110 --> 00:10:02.499
Look, we got to get up, turn out the light, go to bed.
00:10:02.499 --> 00:10:03.863
Morning will come soon.
00:10:03.863 --> 00:10:04.890
Let's go to sleep.
00:10:04.890 --> 00:10:14.325
You can get up and do this all over again, but there's so much joy in having energy once you've had none but I'm talking like this is next level.
00:10:14.325 --> 00:10:17.038
When I do the G shots, it is next level.
00:10:17.038 --> 00:10:18.535
Why did I stop doing that?
00:10:18.535 --> 00:10:19.731
That's why I looked at Jared and I went.
00:10:19.731 --> 00:10:21.774
Why did I stop doing this for myself?
00:10:22.836 --> 00:10:28.562
So what are those things that you used to do for your body that made you feel so great and so energized?
00:10:28.562 --> 00:10:31.604
Like I said, maybe it was earlier in your whole food plant-based journey.
00:10:31.604 --> 00:10:36.980
Maybe it was before you started eating whole food, plant-based, but it didn't have any little oil or bad things in it.
00:10:36.980 --> 00:10:38.580
It was just something you were already doing.
00:10:38.580 --> 00:10:39.985
What are those things?
00:10:39.985 --> 00:10:45.106
Get those things back into your life and watch how quickly you start feeling better.
00:10:48.554 --> 00:11:08.096

I mean, this is life changing.
00:11:55.678 --> 00:11:58.907
But maybe you're already in there and you're not using the search function.
00:11:58.907 --> 00:12:05.240
A lot of you, I don't know if you're even using the search function that little magnifying glass that's down in the lower right hand corner.
00:12:05.240 --> 00:12:12.047
Press it and start searching those things you want to know more about and then come back in and share what you've learned Y'all.
00:12:12.047 --> 00:12:14.260
If you haven't heard this episode, go back and listen to this.
00:12:14.260 --> 00:12:15.686
You can share things like that.
00:12:15.686 --> 00:12:17.158
This has changed my life.
00:12:17.158 --> 00:12:19.303
This is what I've started doing as a result.
00:12:19.303 --> 00:12:20.936
Here's what I'm going to try.
00:12:20.936 --> 00:12:27.543
As a result, you start sharing more with each other the things that you're learning from the podcast using that search function.
00:12:27.543 --> 00:12:35.460
It is going to get you so much farther, so much faster than you could ever go alone Trying to figure all this stuff out.
00:12:35.460 --> 00:12:47.528
You have almost 300 episodes at this point, and when you're listening to this, it may be 400, 500, 600 episodes, because every episode we create goes into that vault of curated content for you.
00:12:48.152 --> 00:12:49.758
I don't know anybody else who's doing this.

This is our heart for you.
00:12:51.625 --> 00:12:53.652
I'm not saying we're better.
00:12:53.652 --> 00:12:55.376
I'm saying God gave us this idea.
00:12:55.376 --> 00:12:57.160
He wants you to have this.
00:12:57.160 --> 00:12:58.604
He's laid this at your feet.
00:12:58.604 --> 00:13:01.397
Going here is the help you've been praying for.
00:13:01.397 --> 00:13:04.802
Take it, take it and use it.
00:13:04.802 --> 00:13:08.327
We want to see you using it and getting those results.
00:13:08.408 --> 00:13:11.480
Now, why wait for the course to come out if it's not out yet?
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:12.666
Absolutely.
00:13:12.666 --> 00:13:34.422
We are going to walk you step by step through everything you need to know, because it's important to get these steps in a certain order and to be able to have the time with us to dive deeper Because I'm going much deeper in the course, because I have more time to do that in a way that is systemized for you to take you by the hand and walk you and say here is step one, just focus on this this week.
00:13:34.422 --> 00:13:35.559
That's all you need to do.
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:38.443
And here are the workbook pages that are going to walk you through it.
00:13:38.443 --> 00:13:49.148
And here is the community where we're going to dive into each week together, and here I am to do coaching calls with you and we're going to get on live and there's going to be replays if you can't be there.
00:13:49.528 --> 00:13:56.812
I mean we are thinking of every possible way that we could lay this out to make it simple, enjoyable and delicious for you.
00:13:56.812 --> 00:14:09.419
This is not just I'm going to go whole food plant based on my own, try to figure it out, like Jared and I had to do, and take years and years of our life trying to piece this stuff together, digging into the research, looking at.
00:14:09.419 --> 00:14:10.783
Is what this person says true?
00:14:10.783 --> 00:14:11.706
Is that what's true?
00:14:11.706 --> 00:14:17.644
No, you need to have those solid facts and this stuff is already there to get you started.

If you're already in the group.
00:15:07.067 --> 00:15:13.423
Start using that magnifying glass and remember also tie in your old favorites.
00:15:13.423 --> 00:15:21.956
What were my old things that I was doing, that I've stopped doing, that I've stopped enjoying, that are going to take me to the next level.
00:15:21.956 --> 00:15:23.320
Why did I stop those things?
00:15:23.320 --> 00:15:24.864
Well, because I stopped thinking about them.
00:15:24.864 --> 00:15:31.664
You're going to get back into those old habits that were great for you and before long, you're going to start getting results.

We've literally seen this happen in as little as one to two days, I'm not kidding.

This can change everything for you.
00:15:37.400 --> 00:15:39.403
What we've shared today, it is gold.
00:15:39.403 --> 00:15:50.280
Take action on all three of these steps that I've just summarized for you and watch and see, and start walking in the full and vibrant life that you were created to enjoy.
00:15:50.280 --> 00:15:52.875
Have a great week, sunshine, and we'll see you soon.
