What if the food on your plate was the key to your spiritual connection? Phoenix Starr, an 11-year vegetarian with a remarkable spiritual journey dating back to her childhood, reveals the profound link between what we eat and how we connect with the divine.

Phoenix captivates us with her simple yet revolutionary philosophy: "Everything you do is spiritual, including what you eat." This fundamental truth transformed her approach to nourishment, leading her to distinguish between what she calls "God food"—natural, plant-based foods that elevate consciousness—and processed foods that disconnect us from our higher selves. "Man-made food puts you closer to the grave, but God food puts you closer to God," she explains with disarming clarity.

Her journey began at just six years old when she first received her spiritual calling, setting her on a path that made her stand out as the "church girl" in school. While she initially struggled to fit in, Phoenix now embraces her unique spiritual nature and shares practical wisdom for others beginning their own nutritional transformation. She offers a gradual approach to adopting plant-based eating—starting with pescatarian choices, then eliminating one meat at a time—while emphasizing that each person's journey must be personal and free from comparison. Most importantly, she challenges listeners to reframe their relationship with food entirely, seeing healthier choices not as punishment or deprivation but as profound acts of self-love and spiritual alignment.

Ready to transform your relationship with food and reconnect with your spiritual essence?

Your journey to mind-body-soul alignment starts with what's on your fork.

00:00:00.260 --> 00:00:05.301
I couldn't get on my knees and pray and then go feel my spirit back up with stuff that wasn't good.

00:00:05.301 --> 00:00:07.623
Welcome, welcome back.

00:00:07.623 --> 00:00:50.258
We have the one and only Miss Phoenix Starr here.

00:00:50.258 --> 00:00:53.107
Y'all, starr, tell us just a little bit about yourself.

00:00:53.107 --> 00:00:54.326
Oh, why you want me to start?

00:00:54.326 --> 00:00:57.149
I gotta be short, you right?

00:00:57.149 --> 00:00:59.726
Because you know my stuff is yeah.

00:00:59.726 --> 00:01:02.466
So Well, what brought you in today?

00:01:02.466 --> 00:01:02.866
Vegan?

00:01:02.866 --> 00:01:06.546
Okay, since we talking about vegan stuff, let's do it.

00:01:07.944 --> 00:01:09.549
I've been a vegetarian for 11 years.

00:01:09.549 --> 00:01:11.365
I was a vegan for three of those years.

00:01:11.365 --> 00:01:14.549
Cleaning up my diet really helped my mental.

00:01:14.549 --> 00:01:16.971
So I can say that do go hand in hand.

00:01:16.971 --> 00:01:18.700
You are what you eat, you are what you eat.

00:01:18.700 --> 00:01:23.671
So once I started my healing journey, food was the first thing I had to start.

00:01:23.671 --> 00:01:30.730
I had to, like I couldn't get on my knees and pray and then go feel my spirit back up with stuff that wasn't good.

00:01:30.730 --> 00:01:34.412
It's like I'm releasing, but then I'm filling up physically.

00:01:34.412 --> 00:01:36.120
See, I do it both Physically and spiritually.

00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.146
It has to be hand in hand.

00:01:38.146 --> 00:01:41.736
Everything I do is spiritual, everything I do, including what I eat.

00:01:41.736 --> 00:01:50.069
When I realized that, I said, oh, it is Connected, it makes sense, and I'm eating food that's connected to God.

00:01:50.069 --> 00:01:50.730
Think about it.

00:01:50.730 --> 00:01:55.965
He made all the greens Some eating your creation.

00:01:55.965 --> 00:01:59.513
Some of the people see, yeah, it said he man-made foods.

00:01:59.513 --> 00:02:01.927
I'm a closer to me, closer to brain.

00:02:01.927 --> 00:02:07.918
Yes, man-made food puts you closer to the grave, but God food puts you closer to God.

00:02:07.918 --> 00:02:10.681
Elevation, hello Greens.

00:02:10.681 --> 00:02:14.846
Vegan food, vegetarian food, I call it God food.

00:02:14.846 --> 00:02:15.788
It's closer to God.

00:02:15.788 --> 00:02:20.054
I'm telling you, everything you do, if you remember this, everything you do is spiritual.

00:02:20.054 --> 00:02:21.960
Your whole life will change.

00:02:21.960 --> 00:02:28.502
Your whole life will change, even eating Everything.

00:02:28.502 --> 00:02:29.717
So you've been on this journey for 11 years.

00:02:29.717 --> 00:02:34.205
Well, the eating journey, 11 years, but the spiritual journey?

00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:38.849
I was 6 years old when I first received my college.

00:02:38.849 --> 00:02:40.655
I was 6.

00:02:40.655 --> 00:02:48.412
Since then, of course, growing up, there's been trials, there's been experience that grew and built me.

00:02:48.412 --> 00:02:51.318
But I knew of this college because I was a student.

00:02:51.318 --> 00:02:54.419
So high school was weird for me, very weird.

00:02:54.600 --> 00:02:56.389
Okay, let's talk about just a little bit.

00:02:56.389 --> 00:03:01.711
I knew I stood out, but I tried so hard to fit in and it made it weird.

00:03:01.711 --> 00:03:04.507
If I knew what I knew now, I'd just do it out.

00:03:04.507 --> 00:03:10.953
I was different, regardless of what I tried to do, always a very.

00:03:10.953 --> 00:03:13.018
In school they called me a church girl.

00:03:13.018 --> 00:03:16.593
They saw it on my church girl.

00:03:16.593 --> 00:03:17.978
It was just spiritual.

00:03:17.978 --> 00:03:19.262
It was how the system you need.

00:03:19.262 --> 00:03:25.752
Yeah, I'm your girl, you have such a beautiful spirit, you do.

00:03:25.752 --> 00:03:30.824
It took me a long time to get here, yeah, but I'm grateful for thank you so much for seeing it.

00:03:32.211 --> 00:03:36.021
Some darkness, the ugliness is, bring out the beauty in me and you know it takes that.

00:03:36.021 --> 00:03:36.723
That's a message.

00:03:36.723 --> 00:03:44.676
That's a message that the ugly bring out the beauty in you, but you gotta release the ugly.

00:03:44.676 --> 00:03:47.216
You got to release the ugly, you right, you right.

00:03:47.216 --> 00:04:00.086
So, since we're in Beacon, talking about Beacon, what would be one thing you could tell someone like myself who wants to start, okay, like, start small, I think it's called pescetarian.

00:04:00.086 --> 00:04:03.260
I'm saying, okay, start.

00:04:03.361 --> 00:04:04.084
I started at first.

00:04:04.084 --> 00:04:04.947
I only ate fish.

00:04:04.947 --> 00:04:07.036
It's a cleaner, leaner meat.

00:04:07.036 --> 00:04:12.835
After that I will cut out red meat, for sure, red meat and pork, if you can cut that off on top.

00:04:12.835 --> 00:04:13.515
Start there.

00:04:13.515 --> 00:04:16.702
But one day at a time, one meat at a time.

00:04:16.702 --> 00:04:19.192
I cut out one meat.

00:04:19.192 --> 00:04:23.471
My meat I cut out first was was beef.

00:04:23.471 --> 00:04:31.555
I wasn't really oh don't pass out I wasn't really a big beef eater, so beef was not as I wouldn't say.

00:04:31.555 --> 00:04:34.156
It was easy, but it wasn't as hard as the other meats.

00:04:34.156 --> 00:04:37.579
My last meat was chicken, chicken and maybe turkey.

00:04:37.579 --> 00:04:38.343
You know what I'm saying.

00:04:38.343 --> 00:04:41.257
That was my last meat to cut out, but I was a pescatarian.

00:04:41.257 --> 00:04:44.588
I'm saying that right, for about five years of it.

00:04:44.588 --> 00:04:44.689
Okay.

00:04:44.689 --> 00:04:46.598
So take your time.

00:04:46.850 --> 00:04:50.456
It's a personal journey, personal journey, personal.

00:04:50.456 --> 00:04:52.557
Don't compare yourself to nobody else's journey.

00:04:52.557 --> 00:04:57.598
If you just wanna not eat red meat, that's your journey.

00:04:57.598 --> 00:04:59.028
You just wanna eat lean meat, that's your journey.

00:04:59.028 --> 00:05:02.776
I don't like vegan, all the way vegan because I like my eggs and my cheese.

00:05:02.776 --> 00:05:07.851
They don't do nothing to me Bad.

00:05:07.851 --> 00:05:09.858
But I'm just saying don't listen to me, y'all.

00:05:09.858 --> 00:05:12.394
I like my eggs and my cheese.

00:05:12.394 --> 00:05:14.716
Okay, that's the only reason why I'm not 100% vegan.

00:05:14.716 --> 00:05:16.666
I was a vegan for three years and it was a struggle.

00:05:16.666 --> 00:05:22.879
I'm not going to lie Because I want my eggs and my cheese, but anybody want to start off.

00:05:23.793 --> 00:05:26.334
Make it personal, one day at a time.

00:05:26.334 --> 00:05:29.355
Make it spiritual Love on your body.

00:05:29.355 --> 00:05:31.798
It's about reconnecting back to you and God.

00:05:31.798 --> 00:05:35.069
Remember you need God's food, so you're connecting yourself back.

00:05:35.069 --> 00:05:35.973
It's making you healthy.

00:05:35.973 --> 00:05:37.401
It's not a punishment.

00:05:37.420 --> 00:05:38.565
Don't think I'm cutting out.

00:05:38.565 --> 00:05:39.449
I'm being punished.

00:05:39.449 --> 00:05:40.432
I can't eat this.

00:05:40.432 --> 00:05:41.817
To think about the food that we're eating.

00:05:41.817 --> 00:05:43.642
That's not really a treat to you.

00:05:43.642 --> 00:05:45.334
It's actually killing you.

00:05:45.334 --> 00:05:51.091
That ice cream, that cake, it's not a treat, it's actually pain.

00:05:51.091 --> 00:05:52.552
It's harmful to you.

00:05:52.552 --> 00:05:54.853
Don't think I'm missing out, I'm losing.

00:05:55.514 --> 00:05:57.836
Change your mentality, mind, body and soul.

00:05:57.836 --> 00:05:59.358
Mind, body and soul.

00:05:59.358 --> 00:06:00.519
Change here.

00:06:00.519 --> 00:06:03.281
First, say I'm loving myself, so I'm eating better.

00:06:03.281 --> 00:06:05.783
I'm going to feel better, I'm going to look better.

00:06:05.783 --> 00:06:06.524
You know what I'm saying.

00:06:06.524 --> 00:06:09.767
So it's not about me losing something or putting stuff out.

00:06:09.767 --> 00:06:13.218
It's about me bettering myself.

00:06:13.237 --> 00:06:13.901
You look at that first.

00:06:13.901 --> 00:06:15.086
Your mind, your mind got to be right.

00:06:15.086 --> 00:06:20.711
You're not going to be successful, so get your mind right.

00:06:20.711 --> 00:06:24.572
Make sure it's a mental thing and make sure it's about loving you.

00:06:24.572 --> 00:06:27.716
Then you won't feel like you're punishing yourself.

00:06:27.716 --> 00:06:28.430
You're not.

00:06:29.093 --> 00:06:31.040
Being a vegetarian or vegan is not being punished.

00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:33.456
Actually, it's a gift.

00:06:33.456 --> 00:06:34.875
It's a gift from God.

00:06:34.875 --> 00:06:39.733
