Live Planted- Practical Vegan Living

Stasher Bag GIVEAWAY BELOW.

I had an a-ha moment while watching Alli Cherry, that zero waste practices don't have to be so extreme. Whoa! So this week in celebration of Earth Day I wanted to bring Alli on to talk about practicing a 'less waste' lifestyle and disengaging from the disposables that are cluttering our planet. Alli shares the 'first four' method of starting zero waste and what items she considers 'must haves'. Plus, I share why I decided to talk about creating waste rather than focus on animal agriculture for Earth Day.

Enter the Stasher Bag GIVEAWAY on Instagram (open till 4/28). The only non plastic reusable bag on the market: https://www.instagram.com/p/BTMkYRmAPya/?taken-by=liveplanted

Everyone feels stuck in a kitchen rut sometimes, so I asked Instagram food blogger Lauren Kirchmaier, of Flora & Vino, to share her secrets to feeling inspired & more confident in the kitchen. I share with Lauren some legendary cauliflower wings, and she shares pointers for living with a non vegan. (ps. They are nice and practical!) Plus, I spill the details on the new system I'm using to accomplish goals, cook more, and keep a cleaner house. It's been a real life changer.

Today I'm answering one of your questions, "If a company makes both vegan and non-vegan products, is it okay to buy from them?"

Since we're all about logical and practical around here, I have a few practical points to support whether I think you should or shouldn't buy from these companies. Do you agree with me? Think I'm totally wrong? Let me know on instagram, twitter, or in this episode's blog post: http://bit.ly/NonVegPost

Plus I end the show with a new segment where people tell us where they listen to the podcast. It's pretty interesting to see all the different ways people enjoy the podcast. If you want to be featured in an upcoming podcast, tell me where you listen or even send me a photo!

Hear what I have to say about having the first non vegan guest on the show today.

In today's society we expect to have it all, to wake up and love ourselves, to fit everything in and arrive at happiness. This simply isn't possible without effort, practice and a whole lot of patience.

Today Tonya Papanikolov of 'The Well Woman', a yoga teacher, and certified nutritional practitioner, is on the show. We talk about mindfully slowing down, finding balance in today's 'hustle-heavy' world, and why it can be hard to set boundaries for ourselves. Plus of course we throw some 'girl power' talk in there.

Together Amy and Billy started the Cleveland chapter of the Save Movement, the Cleveland Farmed Animal Save. They are two of the kind souls who dedicate their time to expose what the animal agriculture industry doesn't want you to see, working to connect the disconnect between animals in farms and photos and animals on our plates. Recently Amy & Billy came back from bearing witness at Anita Krajnc, of Toronto Pig Save's, final court date. This duo does all of this with love and positivity, citing a strict 'non violent' stance in their work.

In this episode Amy & Billy share their experience with Anita's 'pig trial', how they work to chisel away at the idea that animals are property, and their response to Gary Francione's opinion that save movements aren't helpful to veganism. Plus they give some helpful advice on why a non violent approach can deescalate any situation.

Olympia Auset is a doer and a creator, she is the type a person who takes action. So when Olympia saw that there was an issue getting fresh produce to the people in her city of LA she took action. Olympia created SÜPRMARKT, a low cost organic grocery store that serves low income communities in LA. She has also created, Light The Launch, a media company that aims to bring positivity and education to the internet. Olympia has all of these projects under her belt and is still in her mid 20s.

In this episode Olympia shares her best advice for saving money on food, how an experiment in a study group caused her to go vegan, and we discuss what the internet as a place has to do with your mental state. Plus we throw in some positivity and avocado talk in there.

From accounting to brewing Lisa & Joe of Sanctuary Brewing followed their passions of spreading kindness to both humans and animals. Sanctuary Brewing is both a brewery, serving up beers and vegan food, and a micro sanctuary, housing a pig, chickens, and a turkey. On today's episode I talk with Lisa McDonald about hidden ingredients that can make your beer not vegan, why as an animal lover Lisa took awhile to find veganism, and what she regrets about her vegan transition.

In the first half of the episode we get deep in to the science behind collagen. Collagen is the current buzz in health, fitness, and beauty right now. You can't escape hearing about it on the internet right now. I tell you whats really in this cruel product, (watch out the gross factor is real), and if it really adds up to better hair, skin, and nails.

Happy 50th Episode! This episode is the '50th Episode Recap Extravaganza' where we'll be recapping 12 of the past episodes with diverse perspectives, good advice, and noteworthy outtakes. In this episode you will hear clips from Timothy of Mississippi Vegan, Mark Devries of Specieism the Movie, Caitlin Shoemaker of From My Bowl and more. We'll look back on conversations such as why vegan cooking is for everyone, how to start a self love practice, what 3 items a chef thinks you need in a vegan kitchen, why we should celebrate plants, how to become more positive and so, so much more.

Honestly, I can't believe we're at 50 episodes. When I started this thing I didn't know where it was going, but I knew I had to get my voice out there and spread the 'practical vegan' message. I wanted other people to know that there is not one way to do it. You can be vegan in many different ways, they are all correct!

I am so grateful to all the wonderful people who have come on and shared their knowledge and time. It's unbelievable that we're had people from all over the world on the podcast as well as people listening from all over the world. The whole point of this thing was the spread the practical vegan message and to make vegan friends. I think at episode 50 we can say it's happening! I can't wait to see where we are at episode 100 and 150! Thank you for joining me on this journey, without you we wouldn't be at 50.

Want to help celebrate 50 episodes? Tell a friend about the podcast, or leave us a rating & review in iTunes. You can also use the hashtag #LivePlanted50 on instagram and I'll be reposting some of my favs all this week in celebration.

Since you guys love the last 'What I Eat in a Day' episode, I thought an updated version was in store. To keep things interesting I brought in our recipe creator and holistic health coach Kaitlyn Cashmere. She is a big part of Live Planted so I want you guys to know her a little better. Beyond the interesting factor, for veganism I think a 'What I Eat in A Day' episode can be super helpful. You can find new recipes, and see how others make this lifestyle work.

In this episode we share what we're eating for breakfast, lunch and dinner, plus snacks. I share my best tip for making oats on the go, Kaitlyn tells us if frozen veggies are healthy or not, and both share our take on fake meats.
