Is it normal to feel angry as a vegan?

from The Disclosure Podcast · host Ed Winters

In this episode I talk about the experience of feeling angry as a vegan and why many of us feel strong emotions after becoming vegan and realising the scale of animal exploitation. I discuss whether these feelings are normal, as well as the risks of letting anger turn into burnout or isolation, and reflect on the importance of finding a healthy balance so we can continue advocating for animals without harming our own well-being.Order my new book How to Go (and Stay) Vegan here.For more exclusive content and personal writing from me, check out my Substack here.On my Substack, I share not only my own reflections and personal thoughts on veganism, but also my journey and struggles.
