Live Planted- Practical Vegan Living

Have you ever heard someone say they were bummed about going vegan? Today's guest, Sam Turnbull of the vegan food blog, 'It Doesn't Taste Like Chicken', admits she wasn't into going vegan when she first started, coming from a family of chefs, butchers, and hunters. Today on the pod we're chatting about how Sam went from bummed to excited, the mock foods argument, and behind the scenes of recipe veganizing for her brand new book, 'Fuss Free Vegan'. Plus, listener questions on bulk shopping, creating less waste when DIYing, and how to handle going vegan when your family disapproves.

Many vegans say that a documentary was the ultimate jumping off point into this lifestyle. Today's guest, Shawn Stratton took that notion and created the first ever International Vegan Film Festival in Ottawa. Shawn shares why this isn't just an Ottawa event and how you can get involved. Plus, I'm wrapping up my time at the Cleveland VegFest, hanging with past pod guests, and creating less waste at a food festival. And listener shoutouts are back this week! We get into how to make a small food budget work, clarify a common question on oregano oil, and a new use for camomile a listener suggested that I thought was worth passing along.

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.

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.

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.

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.
