  • #078 Why You Shouldn't Be A Perfect Vegan & How to Get Over the Guilt
    After a moment of inspiration recently I wanted to talk about 'anti perfectionism' on the podcast today. Getting over that guilt of not being enough, not doing enough, and just being happy in the present moment. This episode talks about releasing yourself from that perfectionist thinking and how and why this relates to veganism. If you're not shooting for perfection in being vegan are you able to cheat?1? Being perfect isn't all its cracked up to be.

  • #074 Vegan 101: All the Basics with the Guys From Thought For Food
    Sometimes knowing where to start is the hardest part. Today I've teamed up with the guys from 'Thought For Food' to bring you 'Vegan 101'.

Plus, we're sharing a little 'What I Eat in A Day' for all you curious minds, and answering a few listener 101 questions.

  • #073 Why It's Hard For ME To Talk About My Ethical Veganism
    When it comes to verbalizing ethical veganism, the struggle is real. Why is it hard to talk about sometimes? Who says we're better than animals? Does health still play a role if I'm an ethical vegan? I GET IT. This can be hard to navigate, that's why I wanted to flip the coin and talk about something I haven't quite figured about after almost 5 years being vegan.
    I wanted to share EXACTLY how I feel on the subject and ended up surprising myself by the end of the episode. Can you relate? Plus, I'm sharing a few tips I have on how to make it easier to talk about along the way.

  • #069 Cruelty Free Beauty: The Who, What & Why of Supporting Brands w Morals & Ethics
    When people think vegan they immediately think only of food. Another often overlooked aspect are the beauty, cosmetics, and house hold cleaners you bring into your home and use on your body daily. Today I'm sharing WHY cruelty free products are so important. I didn't 'get it' for a while after making the food changes myself, so I want to bring you all the information so don't have to waste time like I did.
    I'm sharing what really happens in animal testing (it's not just lab rats...), what alternatives are available to animal testing & how reliable they are, what ingredients are hidden in your favorite products (hint: bat poo is most mascaras!!), and what you can do to avoid this cruel reality. Plus I answer the ever popular question of 'should I throw everything away and start over?'
