Welcome to the Vegan Dharma podcast with Laura Nadia, The Vegan Dharma Coach. We're on a mission to save the world by inspiring people to care for themselves, the planet, and animals through mindfulness and purposeful living. Our inaugural guest on The Vegan Dharma Podcast is Sharon A. Suh, Ph.D.! Sharon A. Suh, Ph. D. is a professor of Buddhist Studies in the department of Theology and Religious Studies at Seattle University. She is the President of Sakyadhita International Association of Buddhist Women, the Founder of The Mindful Eating Method, and serves on the Board of Directors for the Center for Mindful Eating. Sharon beautifully encapsulates her dharma - her soul's purpose- as cultivating compassion, empathy, and being imperfectly perfect, using privileges to make the world a better place and transform suffering. Tune in to hear about how Buddhism, mindfulness, intuitive and mindful eating, self-image, self-love, change, and emotional acceptance tie into a healthy vegan lifestyle.
