OG listeners will remember when Hot For Food's Lauren Toyota was on way back in 2016. Today she's back in celebration of her new vegan cookbook, 'Vegan Comfort Classics: 101 recipes to feed your face'. We're chatting about how Lauren continuously nails flavor combinations when veganizing recipes, how to better balance self-care, and Lauren shares the weirdest thing in her fridge (which she calls 'gross', ha). Plus, listener Q's on finding vegan shoes, foods that impact your skin, and how to keep meals easily buildable for allergy sufferers.

A few years ago there was a huge movement pushing women to stop apologizing. We as vegans have taken on this line of 'I'm sorry's', apologizing in situations we feel uncomfortable or to smooth things over. Today I'm talking about why saying sorry often comes along with feeling guilty and how we can escape that mentality with a few simple language swaps. Plus, answering listener questions: how to shop bulk without being charged for the jars, how to feel comfortable eating out at non-vegan restaurants, and all about that infamous Arby's ad that's floating around the vegan community.

Tell me what the weirdest thing in your fridge is or what you never go without in your fridge and why. You could be featured on the pod episode with Lauren Toyota coming out Feb 20th. Comment over on the blog post or on insta with your answers.

When I stumbled upon Amanda of Mama Eats Plants during one faithful Instagram bender, I knew immediately I wanted to share her with you guys. She's both a normal mom and a zero waste goddess all at the same time and she somehow makes it look easy. Amanda is breaking down how to make zero waste sustainable, why plastic is a problem, and how to get kids involved with a lifestyle switch. Plus, you asked and I listened, all things vitamins and supplements. I'm answering your Q's on what supplements you actually need as a vegan.

Cleanses and Detoxes- Necessary or internet myth? Today we're debuting the new segment 'Necessary or Not', where I examine practices to determine if they are necessary or just a passing trend. Today we're tackling the ever present cleanses and detoxes the internet is always raving about. To cleanse or not to cleanse? Plus, backyard chickens- are they kosher for vegans? And a feel-good documentary about animal human relationships that I would 10/10 recommend.

Keeping your enjoyment intact is hugely important when going vegan and creating a lifestyle you're happy to wake up to every day is basically the holy grail. If you're miserable, veganism isn't working for you. Thankfully, there are many ways to make veganism work in your life. So this week, Ryan Lay, a professional skateboarder for Etnies & Welcome Skateboards shares how and why he keeps being vegan fun. We also talk the importance of not passing judgment on others and Ryan shares how a big corporation felt about supporting his vegan shoe line. Plus, this week's listener questions on how to get tofu crispy and what to eat when you're vegan and gf.

The decision to go vegan is one of those life-changing choices, and mental strain can go hand in hand with the decision for many people. Today Casey Hill licensed professional counselor and therapist, who also happens to be vegan, is on the show giving you tools for feeling your feelings. I know, it sounds weird, but I promise it's super helpful! We're talking how and why to conduct 'mood maintenance' even when you're in a good space, how little moments of mindfulness add up, and why you should take a break from looking at vegan information. Plus, answering listener questions about what a balanced vegan diet looks like and how to find the best vegan winter gear.

When a listener asked about how to talk to vegan skeptic friends, I wasn't surprised, many have trouble talking with those closest to them about veganism. It's tough when you feel so passionate about something and your friends don't share that feeling. Today I'm giving you my best advice on how to communicate with skeptics who also happen to be friends. In the second half of the show, Lisa of both Sanctuary Brewing and Sweet Bear Rescue, is on. Lisa shares with us the new animal additions to the safe space, and her 'kindness empire' for both humans and animals.

People always ask 'how you stay vegan for the long term?'. Well, the short answer is simple, animals. Today I'm talking with my husband, Eric Girgash, who created the vegan mini doc, 'The Truth About Chicken' featuring James Aspey. We discuss what the point of a 'Save Movement' is if you can't save animals and finding fulfillment in your activism. Plus, we team up to answer listener questions on vegan alcohol and collagen.

Resolutions, are they all it's cracked up to be? As great as a fresh start can be, New Year's can get overwhelming. So this week Ana Alarcon, of Ana Goes Fit, and I are sharing how we're approaching New Year's differently this year in an effort to be kinder to ourselves and create more long term healthy habits. And one of the most common questions I hear is, "how to manage 'meat eater' social situations?" So I'm breaking it down, how not to go hungry, how to have a good time, and why I attend 'meat eater' parties. Plus, Ana answers the biggest vegan FAQ of them all, "where do vegans get their protein from?"
