Compassion As My Compass

If you're vegan or have ever explored a similar lifestyle, you may have found the push back from others to be frustrating and even overwhelming. This week I'll talk you through exactly how I deal with the potentially less than helpful comments you may come across.

Maybe you've been asked to set an intention for your yoga practice, but you don't really understand why, or where to even start. This week we jump right in, discussing when and how you should set an intention for your practice, and for your life, and all of the benefits it can offer. 

This week I chat with Maria Koval, a professional chef and restaurant consultant, about what it means to be a raw vegan and how you can easily incorporate raw meals into your daily life to improve your health. 

Life is full of speed bumps and difficult opportunities that may cause some to slow down or give up all together. This week we talk with Jimmy Clare of Crazy Fitness Guy about his journey so far and what he does to continue pushing forward, no matter the situation.
