We're having a BABY! A vegan baby that is and this pregnancy is the 'big project' I've been teasing. I'm beyond excited to share where I've been these past few weeks, how I faired the 1st trimester, our family's feelings about birthing and raising vegan babies, and so much more. Answering your questions about cloth diapering, vegan prenatals, and criticism.

Ps. While away we surpassed 1 million downloads of Live Planted. Whoa! Thanks to everyone who's listened, passed the show on, and been a part of LP, I appreciate you!

Kitty Cotten is a vegan mama working to share her life and approach to simple living online. Kitty lives in a 'duel household', meaning she's vegan and her husband is not- something I get asked about frequently. Today we talk about where to start with minimalism and building a more sustainable wardrobe. Plus, positive birthing and minimalist parenting, both have been labeled as nearly 'impossible' but Kitty shows us it's not always as it seems.

The idea of being stretched too thin is oh so common in our current society. Often in a non-traditional lifestyle such as veganism or zero waste we're piling more onto our plate, it takes more work and consciousness to live like this. It's almost a badge of honor to be busy, but how do we slow down, lighten our mental load? Today's episode shares 3 ways to lighten your mental load, so you can ditch the guilt and live a little lighter.

There's a common misconception that both the zero waste and vegan lifestyles are expensive. Today I brought in Amber Allen of The Fairly Local Vegan as co-host to discuss unusual ways we are frugal while making less waste. Some of these things you may be familiar with and some you may be completely surprised by (hint: Amber doesn't use traditional toilet paper!).

Amanda of Mama Eats Plants is one of those people who it feels like you're really seeing her authentic self when you look at her social media. She's always experimenting in the kitchen and if you're a long time listener you know she's been on the pod twice before sharing her thoughtful insights. Today we're discussing how restrictive recipes can be, capturing a narrative rather than 'content' for the internet, and the aftermath of going viral on a Buzzfeed video.

Minimalism, zero waste, veganism, & parenting, what do all of these have in common? You've got to get your hands dirty and Amber Allen, aka The Fairly Local Vegan, is just the one to discuss living a nontraditional lifestyle. Amber shares how freeing herself from an abusive relationship lead to a complete life change, debunking the myth that zero waste/veganism/parenting are expensive- she & her husband got themselves out of debt while on this lifestyle, and how there's no one size fits all when it comes to living simply.
