In this episode, I’m doing something a little different than what you usually hear on the Clean Food Dirty Girl podcast. I’m sitting down with Juan Eduardo Steigerwald, an accomplished international business excellence expert, a fellow plant-based eater, and host of several podcasts, one of which I recently had the pleasure of being a guest on.

While we both share a love for plant-based living, this conversation goes beyond food. We dive into manifestation, emotional alignment, and the science behind personal transformation. Juan shares how he’s used curiosity, data-driven self-experimentation, and vibrational awareness to create meaningful shifts in his life.

If you’ve ever wondered how mindset, emotion, and intention influence real-world results— this conversation will get you thinking.

In this episode, I’m chatting with Kate, a long-time Dirty, about her truly life-changing experience inside Drop It Club.

Kate shares how the work went way beyond weight loss, including her decision to quit drinking and completely shift how she shows up in her life. We talk about habits, mindset, and how she used the coaching tools inside Drop It Club to create changes that stuck (without relying on willpower or perfection).

This conversation is raw, honest, and emotional—tissues are encouraged. Huge congrats to Kate on her sobriety and the powerful, ripple-effect changes she’s made in her life.

If Callum Weir hasn’t come across your world yet and made you laugh out loud, you’re in for a treat with this episode.

We dive into how keto was basically his “gateway drug” to this sphere. We talk about why detoxes aren’t necessary—as Callum says, we already have a liver for that 😂—why consistency beats cleanses, and why the carnivore crew goes crazy about his videos.

We also share our alcohol-free awesomeness, explore the environmental impact of our food choices, discuss the power of community, and unpack what it truly means to let go of perfection while prioritizing your health.

You’re going to love Callum and this talk!

In this episode, I’m sharing the mindset shifts I’ve seen make the biggest difference for people who want to release weight and keep it off.

After a year of coaching inside Drop It Club, I pulled together the most powerful patterns I’ve observed—especially for people who have tried everything, struggled with perfectionism, or felt stuck in the on-again/off-again cycle for years.

Whether you’re focused on the scale, overall health, or simply feeling better in your body, these mindset shifts apply no matter where you’re at..

In this episode, I talk with Johanna, a former Drop It Club member, about her journey with plant-powered weight loss. Johanna shares what led her from vegetarian to fully plant-based, why traditional nutrition advice left her feeling defeated, and how Drop It Club helped her release weight (and unhelpful habits) without tracking, restriction, or obsessing over food.

We discuss how eating three satisfying meals a day reduced mental load, ended constant snacking, and created unexpected emotional lightness and clarity. This conversation goes beyond the scale and into how this way of eating feels good enough to maintain for life.

In this episode, I sit down with Sarah Diederich, a badass vegan fitness coach who helps women build strength, confidence, and muscles they didn’t even know they were capable of. We dive into why lifting weights is so important for women, especially if you’re rocking a plant-based lifestyle, and how you can build solid, beautiful muscle without ever touching animal protein.

Sarah walks me through her journey from academia to fitness coaching, and we get into the magic of personalized coaching, plus why nutrition and recovery matter just as much as the time you spend lifting. We also bust some myths about veganism and strength, talk about finding cardio that doesn’t make you want to scream, and geek out on stretching and mobility because your hips deserve love too.

The big takeaway? Every woman can benefit from lifting and thriving on a vegan diet while crushing your fitness goals isn’t just possible, it’s empowering.

In this episode, I sit down with Brittany from Team Dirty and the creator of the Clean Food Dirty Girl Sourdough Course. Brittany shares why she’s so obsessed with fermentation, how the process can be surprisingly healing, and why homemade sourdough is better for our health and the planet.

We get into the community vibe (AKA the sourdough cult) that forms around baking, why long-fermented sourdough works for some people with gluten sensitivities, and the biggest head-ups for new bakers. We even tumble down the rabbit hole about the history of flour and how it’s processed today.

If you’ve ever been curious about baking sourdough, or have a lonely sourdough starter in your fridge calling your name, this episode is a must-listen.

In this episode, I talk about the Drop It Club, our plant-powered weight loss program that’s been changing lives since January 2025.

I share insights from this first year and emphasize the importance of sustainable, long-term weight loss through whole food plant-based eating and compassionate coaching. I’m honest about the fact that there’s no magic bullet, and how real change comes from meeting ourselves exactly where we are and giving ourselves more time than we think we need to reach our health goals. 

I highlight how flexible the program is, how powerful community support can be, and how transformative it has been for our “Droplets.” This episode is a must-listen if releasing weight is on your radar.

In this episode, I’m talking about how to make eating a whole-food plant-based diet super easy. I share why batch cooking is my secret weapon for saving time (and sanity) and the different ways our recipes can totally change the game by teaching you to cook once, and eat all week.

I’ll walk you through my go-to meal formulas that cover all the key WFPB food categories, so you can build balanced, satisfying plates without overthinking it. Consider this your nudge to play in the kitchen, keep it fun, keep it simple, and keep your health and well-being front and center.

In this episode, I chat with Rohini Bajekal, a board-certified nutritionist and lifestyle medicine practitioner, about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS), a condition that affects roughly 1 in 10 women but often goes undiagnosed for years.

Rohini shares her personal journey with PCOS and explains why a holistic approach focusing on plant-based nutrition, lifestyle, and community support is key to managing symptoms. We bust common myths, explore practical strategies for PCOS management, and highlight the importance of compassion for yourself.

Top takeaways from our chat

• PCOS affects 1 in 10 women, and many remain undiagnosed.
• Lifestyle changes are the first line of defense in managing PCOS.
• A holistic approach and community support make a big difference.
• Recognizing symptoms early can lead to quicker diagnosis and better outcomes.
• PCOS is not a life sentence; there is hope, strategies, and support available.

About Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS)

Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS) is the most common endocrine disorder worldwide, affecting at least 1 in 10 women, non-binary and transgender people. It is the number one cause of infertility with symptoms including acne, excess weight gain, irregular periods and hair loss and higher risk of long-term complications such as type 2 diabetes and womb cancer. Alarmingly, 3 in 4 of those with PCOS remain undiagnosed because of the complex nature of the condition.
