Friends, we’re in for a mind and heart opening emotional roller coaster ride today. I approached former chicken and cattle farmer Jennifer Barrett of Barrett Family Farm because I want to better understand the pressures and considerations that animal farmers face when they contemplate transitioning away from animal agriculture. I could not have imagined just how genuine and open Jennifer would be. ...

Australian animal rights activist Joanne Lee started her activism journey in January 2017.

If there’s one part of medicine and health we’d be super well served to pay huge attention to it’s got to be gut health. It not only impacts your perfect poops (and that’s no laughing matter especially as we get older and things we maybe used to take for granted don’t work quite so effortlessly)… beyond effective digestion, gut health also impacts weight ...

There are a handful of individuals within the global vegan community who, when they’re drawing attention to something – something I’d rather ignore – I have to check myself and ask: What else don’t I know? Vegan Psychologist, author and animal rights activist Clare Mann is one such individual.  Today I’m excited to share with you my third conversation with Clare in which we’ll explore the ...

In recent months I’ve been struggling with a growing frustrated at the non vegan who declares “I love animals” and yet still eats animals and supports their exploitation in so many other ways too. That might sound overly obvious – and yet – the dishonesty, the in-congruency, the wilful ignorance and selfish, greedy, laziness of the “animal loving animal eating human” riles me worse than the hunter. The dairy ...

Listening to Catherine Kelaher tell the stories of some of the individual hens she has met since starting NSW Hen Rescue over 10 years ago simply melts my heart in the best possible way.

This is a conversation about longevity, grit and no excuses. It’ll appeal to you if you “love to lift” yet also I’m sure if you can relate to dealing with set backs or injury or the pressure to live up to expectations – especially your own. Long before he became the “go to guy” in vegan bodybuilding Robert Cheeke barely weighed 120 pounds as an athlete. He wanted ...

Most of my conversations are with the animals in mind and staunchly from the point of view of an animal rights activist. That will always be my priority and yet also I want to better understand how farmers can benefit – greatly – from freeing animals from their business model. If you can continue to live on the land, to maintain the family ...
