VP#114: TN Vegans Rock! Getting Real with Down-Home, Ultra-Glamorous Nashville Native Hayden Blane: Her Heart Cracked Open for Animals and There’s Been No Looking Back

Hayden Blane is a native Nashvillian, a wife, a mother, and an actor. She lived in LA for almost a decade, and her heart called her home to Nashville in 2014.  She’s been vegan since 2007, when she read a book that opened her heart and changed her life. She’s a runner, 43 years around the sun, she loves all animals, but her favorite is her 6-year-old cavapoo, Leroy Jenkins. After seeing Free Willy at 13, she started a fund raiser for the whales at school and raised $65 :) If there is a film on where an animal dies, she won't watch it.  Resources: Hayden Blane professional profile: ⁠https://m.imdb.com/name/nm2654198/⁠  Skinny Bitch by Rory Freedman: https://www.amazon.com/Skinny-Bitch-No-Nonsense-Tough-Love-Fabulous/dp/0762424931 Café Gratitude: https://cafegratitude.com/pages/cafe-gratitude-menus Mary Magdelene Revealed by Meggan Watterman: https://www.amazon.com/Mary-Magdalene-Revealed-audiobook/dp/B07SRK63YT/ The Engine 2 Diet by Rip Esselstyn: https://www.amazon.com/Engine-Diet-Firefighters-Save-Your-Life-Cholesterol/dp/0446506699 Marrying Myself by Christine Melanie Benson: https://www.amazon.com/Marrying-Myself-Christine-Melanie-Benson/dp/1685130763/ Sunflower Bakehouse: https://www.ilovesunflower.com/
