Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, to many of us, is our vegan guru. Her soft voice has murmured in our ears through headphones via her Food for Thought podcast, helping us, inspiring us, and encouraging us to take steps into veganism. And then bigger and bolder leaps into activism. I know that for me, as a new vegan, Colleen’s books, online challenge, and podcast had a huge impact on how I grew from eating a vegan diet to living a vegan life.
Somehow over the years Colleen and I became friends, first on social media, then in person. We have broken (vegan) bread on several occasions and I’m honored to have her in my life. Colleen generously provided endorsements for both Vegan for Her and Vegan Pressure Cooking. And she sort of blew me away when she asked me to endorse the new edition of wildly popular and useful The 30-Day Vegan Challenge, just out this month.
I tell you a bit about it here:
Colleen kindly offered to give a copy of the newly updated The 30-Day Vegan Challenge to one of my readers!

It would be great to have a hard copy of this encouraging book!
I checked out the old 30-Day Vegan Challenge from my local library and loved it. I’d love to read the updated version!
My biggest challenge was just making the leap into it – I had been a huge cheese lover, and as bizarre as this sounds, I had this sudden moment of “but wait, I’m X, how can I be not-X forever?” I think I overcame it by telling myself ok, you can take this one step at a time, and if you end up being vegan-except-for-cheese, that’s all right. (And once I made the leap, I’ve never looked back!)
I haven’t checked out the 30 day vegan challenge before, but I’d love to own a copy 🙂
I stumbled upon Colleen’s podcast about 6 years ago and had no idea what those poor animals endure on factory farms. I can’t technically call myself a vegan as I allow myself about 3% leeway – if I were 100% strict I would have a few challenges, mostly with medications. But it’s not been hard at all to give up eating meat or cheese or even the half ‘n half in my tea that I so enjoyed. Most of my extended family are now eating way less animal products. I would love to have an updated version of her book to give my niece. ( I have the older version.).
I also checked the 30 Day Vegan Challenge out (from the library I work at!) and would love to have a copy of it for myself!
The biggest challenge I faced was the idea of going vegan permanently. It was like “No more cheese??? Forever????” Then I saw Earthlings and I felt so much more at peace with my decision and impervious to daily social pressures. Still people ask me “Are you sure you don’t want a bite?” And I’m like “Yes, I’m sure.”
My biggest challenge going vegan was probably the push-back from my omni family. It’s been nearly 3 years and it still concerns and mystifies them. :/
This would be cool to do! Challenges for Vegan, preparation, cooking, getting by in from family.
The biggest challenge was getting my family on board. I was able to work on this by being consistent with offering vegan options.
My biggest challenge was the label and living up to expectations of what it means to call myself a “vegan.” It is a lot of societal pressure! But I just do the best I can to live a thoughtful life. Thanks for the giveaway.
Eating out and having vegetarian foods instead of just vegan. But as of Jan.1 I have been 100% vegan and not had baked goods and other items with dairy and eggs.
Biggest challenge: making my family and close friends understand what I was doing and why
my biggest challenge was giving up all the junk food i used to love.
I struggle on a regular basis. I’m the only plant based eater I know. I work in a paleo environment, my friends are SAD eaters, my hubby is omni. If it weren’t for people /bloggers like JL, I’d be lost! I’ve heard so much about this book. I would love to win it!
I think my biggest challenge was feeling isolated. Initially I attended local vegetarian meet ups, but now I mostly feel connected to other vegans via the Internet.
I’d love to read Colleen’s book!! 🙂 haven’t had a chance yet….
I still have one pasture raised egg every other day.
My biggest challenge was dining out. Still is sometimes – esp since I temporarily live in an anti-veg (read: terribly unhealthy on many levels) place: St. Louis. But I’ve got my “go to” spots now and am enjoying turning co-workers onto vegan treats. It’s a process.
My biggest challenge would be to find new recipes to replace my old standbys, it’s been almost 4 years and I’ve definitely gotten a lot of newer standby’s, but I still love to try new recipes. Being vegan really sparked my love of cooking. I just got by before, now I eat such a wider range of foods.
Thanks for the terrific give-away! It looks like a wonderful book 🙂
