Did You Bring the Hummus? with Kimberly Winters

Episode 59 - "There's room for us all" with Coach Alyssa Almond of Rooted Rise


Listen Later

Today, I am joined by coach, Alyssa Almond of Rooted Rise. Alyssa began her career with Teach For America as a 3rd grade bilingual teacher in Washington Heights, NYC. Her fascination with languages and language learning called her to specialize in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). She helped immigrants acquire the language skills needed to succeed in the US. Alyssa worked both as a middle school ESOL teacher and as a program administrator in Adult Basic Education.  

But, her veganism reminded her that she’s not just about humans.  

So, in 2017, after some intensive coaching, Alyssa gathered her courage and left her full-time job in education.  

This leap landed her at a farmed animal sanctuary and The Last Pig. Following her passion, talent, and empathetic nature led her to create the perfect role for herself.  As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), she gets to help animals by supporting the humans who serve them! 

In this episode, Alyssa and I get into the philosophy of veganism and discuss a specific idea called Effective Altruism, we also discuss how we each approach spreading the vegan message, the cats with whom we live, farmed animal sanctuaries, Alyssa’s coaching practice, and of course hummus.
