Live Planted- Practical Vegan Living

Today's episode took a totally new spin after speaking with Andrea Sanders of Be Zero. I was so inspired by the conscious efforts Andrea is making to be present in today's 'scrolling' society that I switched up the first half of the episode. Andrea shares her theory on how to perform quiet activism, what removing herself from most social media is doing for this online business woman, and revaluing clothing in the fast fashion world. Plus, my new life's motto to release yourself from preconceived barriers in our social media comparison society.

Recently I mentioned on Instagram that there was nothing really 'off topic' when asking questions for the pod and the questions came flooding in. The thing with this podcast is, nothing is really 'off topic' becasue veganism is a lifestyle which affects all areas of your life, your hobbies, your shopping habbits, your ethics, so it's all 'on topic'. I thought I'd take an episode to answer a few of the questions in depth on the pod. Today we discuss how to deal with dating once you go vegan, reading labels for vegan needs, and suggestions for defending your descision to go or be vegan- they aren't what you may expect. Plus, how to make the perfect waste free iced coffee at home, a stainless steel straw warning from a listener, and some plant based veggie garden ideas.

One of the greatest gifts you can give yourself is the gift of cooking a great meal. Today's guest, Max La Manna, better known as 'Eating With Max', not only cooks a great meal but makes it look enjoyable at the same time. Today Max, a vegan zero waste chef, shares with us a unique way to make cooking more enjoyable, why food waste is an important issue, and what education can do for your vegan journey. Oprah might just get name dropped and cooking in colorways is a thing, this episode has it all. Plus, a listener question on what to do when your food accidentally comes with an animal product if you're trying to be less wasteful.

The term mindfulness comes with a certain woo woo notion but it's actually much more practical and helpful for our everyday lives than you realized. Today Casey Hill, licensed professional counselor and therapist, is back on the pod talking about moving through vegan frustrations and negativity with mindful techniques. We've all been there when the restaurant you're at has no options, or your family member refuses to see where you're coming from, and the frustrations creep in. We're discussing getting out of autopilot, enjoying being in the present, and how small changes can lead to a big difference in your daily life. Plus, answering listener questions about composting, the big P- protein deficiency, iron-rich foods, and perfectionism.

In celebration of International Women's Day, today we're talking the connection between veganism and feminism. Veganism is so deeply connected to the female body, yet the conversation is rarely had. I didn't connect that so many female animal bodies were being taken advantage of until after I had been vegan a few years. So today, we're having the discussion, sharing 3 ways in which veganism and feminism relate to one another and why you should pay attention to them. Plus, listener Q's on quick and healthy vegan snack suggestions, advice for new vegans eating out, and the debate between creating less waste and staying true to your veganism.
