And it's very different. It's very different than, I think, what people perceive where their food is coming from.” - Kristen   “If I can't shoot the bow, if I can't pull the trigger… How could I possibly eat that animal? Like, if I don't have enough respect for that creature, I shouldn't be eating it. .. It never sat right with me and I never felt like I was being like the truest version of myself.” - Kristen   “If I don't give myself the chance, and I keep going down this road, I'll constantly ask, ‘What if I would have done that?’ ‘What if I would have actually made those choices?’ And I didn't want to do that. I didn't want to have that regret.” - Kristen     About me My name is Maxime Sigouin; I am the founder of Fit Vegan Coaching and the Fit Vegan Blueprint program's creator. Where I help vegans ge
