In this episode I'm talking to Lauren, the founder of the sustainable swimwear brand Xali swim.

 We Talk about why Lauren decided to create swimwear made from regenerated ocean plastic and which manufacturers 

she works with to make the dream of ethical, eco-friendly and long lasting swimmers a reality.

She tells us about a few sustainable habits she has created in her everyday life and why it is so important to create more

awareness about these topics.

Aaaaaannnd of course there is no way that I could talk to her without chatting about her beautiful rescue dogs and cats!

If you know Lauren then you know that she gives these animals all her love and attention, 

so I was happy that she educated me on a few things regarding rescue dogs, breeders, dog training etc.

If you want to know more about that because you are looking for a pet of your own, I  highly recommend listening to her podcast:

"Life with Lauren", where she talks about keeping pets, the industry, the training and much more!

📢PS: because Lauren loves animals like she does I am obviously shouting out a great organization that

cares for the animals of this planet! I have recently "adopted" a tiger in the name of my newly married cousin and her husband in honor of their wedding with the help of "Defenders of Wildlife". They protect and restore imperiled species throughout North America by transforming policies and institutions and promoting innovative solutions and are focused solely on wildlife and habitat conservation and the safeguarding of biodiversity.

You can symbolically adopt an animal and support their work by donating or buying from their webshop!

I appreciate your eager ears💚

Thank you for listening☀

Hey everybody,

in this episode I am talking to Matthias form the Energy Cooperative Prokon. 

They provide green energy in the form of mainly wind- and in lesser quantities solar energy.

Matthias tells me everything from energy prices, taxation on renewable energies, differences between solar and wind energy,

the need for systemic change in order to make renewables the new normal,

he debunks some "green energy" myths

and of course gives some gory details on government and fossil fuel industry intrigues to take down the green energy lovers -

haha joking - almost ; ))

In order to put yourself in the power position of choosing an energy provider that works with nature, I encourage you to check out Prokon's website or a green energy provider near you (IG post or blog coming on different providers around the world) so you can switch to

an energy provider that has a healthier future in mind.

📢PS: this episode's shoutout goes to Ilona. She is @acht_nach on Instagram and is an advocate and educator about everyday sustainability

and consciousness from Germany. She has so much valuable knowledge about plants, insects, our interaction with nature and how we can try to be kind to nature in our everyday lives! 

She is such a kind soul and it is through her that I actually found out about Prokon.

She is also the maker of my calendar that is the best calendar I have ever had! It is produced sustainably and has wonderful recipes, 

seasonal food guides and interesting facts about the environment included (you can find some of her products here).

Go visit her page and give her some 💚

in this episode I am Talking to Gunter Greiner who is the head of investments and portfolio management at WIWIN sustainable investments.

If you want to know more about sustainable investing, investment opportunities and the increasing demand for 

green solutions in the financial sector - then this is the episode for you.

May sound a bit dry - but I can assure you it is not. Since controlling and redirecting what is being invested in - 

by you, by corporations and investment managers - is one of the key factors to funding the "green" solutions that will help us in 

building a more sustainable world across all sectors.

We Talk about which sustainable investment possibilities there are, what has been driving these positive changes, 

greenwashing in the "sustainable investment" sector and what ESG-guidelines mean.

If you want to know more feel free to visit WIWIN sustainable investments on their website!

📢PS: this episodes shoutout goes to Aspiration bank. Their mission is to help you put your money where you values are - meaning NOT 

funding fossil fuels or coal with your money! They are a certified B corporation and a member of 1% for the planet + you can offset your footprint and plant trees every time you are using your card!

Today I'm Talking to Isaias Hernandez who is an environmental educator who 

in his words: "loves to (un/relearn)".

Which makes him (in my opinion:)) a very positive, open-minded and well educated human being.

He inspires and educates about intersectional environmentalism, zero-waste/low-waste living,

environmental justice, climate news, veganism and so much more!

In this episode we're Talking about Isaias upbringing in Los Angeles, eco-anxiety, social injustices regarding the

climate crisis, his college time and him finally living somewhere where he has a beautiful garden to grow things

and play around in 😍🌼🍄

Thank you Isaias for joining me and having this real, open and educational Talk - it was lots of fun getting to chat to you😃

Go check out Isaias website and IG page as well! It is a source of colorful and useful knowledge💚

In this episode I am Talking to Nathalie Daccach from Ona Healing.

She tells me about Spirit Coaching, Earth Circles, Kundalini, breathing and meditation, how she 

implements that into her holistic health service and coaching and how it all connects back

to us and nature🌿

We Talk about grounding, coming back to nature and what you can do when you feel like you have a lack of connection to yourself and nature.

Nathalie also tells us a bit about sustainability in her daily life and how she handles eco-anxiety.

And no, this is not just hippie stuff;)) no judgement here, if this doesn't really speak to you 

then maybe it's exactly the thing you should have an open mind about and explore more🌞

Maybe you'll find out something about yourself that has been hiding away and if you want some

guidance and coaching then allow yourself to contact Nathalie via her website "Ona Healing"💚

📢Todays shoutout goes to Animal Rebellion. They are an anti-speciesist movement with a shared vision of change

wanting to create a world that protects beings of all species, for generations to come. Also known to do sit-ins at McDonald's and recently responsible for paralyzing their supply chains in the UK with blockages lasting from 19-30 hours!!!
