Helping or Hindering Wildlife? Understanding When Baby Fawns Need Human Intervention

April 21, 2023 10:01 - 1 hour - 89.9 MB

Now that it's spring (READ: BABY SEASON!), well-meaning humans often assume that because a fawn is alone she must be an orphan, leading to numerous fawn “kidnappings” each year. In today's episode, I share tips, guidance, stories, and advice on what to do if you see an "abandoned" baby fawn or an injured adult deer. Even if you don't encounter these situations directly, it's sooo helpful to know what to do so you can pass it along to your friends, family, and neighbors.  —————— Support t...

Being vegan is about saying "yes"

April 19, 2023 11:03 - 4 minutes - 6.57 MB

There’s a perception that being vegan is about refusing things, rejecting things that are offered.

How to Talk to Strangers: A Masterclass in Conversations and Communication

March 31, 2023 21:51 - 2 hours - 169 MB

People are open. People are curious. People want to learn. They want to know. Every time I talk with strangers, that's what I find. Every time I walk away from those conversations, that's what I feel. Hope. Compassion. Connection. But you wouldn't know this unless you engage, talk, listen, interact. Show up.

Buying In or Selling Out? When Meat and Dairy Corporations Buy Vegan Companies

March 10, 2023 11:00 - 52 minutes - 48.8 MB

The plant-based foods market recently topped $3.1 billion in sales and is slated to reach over $5 billion in just a couple years. As a result, the animal-based meat, dairy, egg, and other large corporations see vegan companies and the plant-based products they make as competitors they should fear, emulate, learn from, collaborate with, invest in, or even purchase. They recognize they need to "buy into" the success, growth, and future of the plant-based market. Some, however, see it as vega...

Compassion has nothing to do with someone else's behavior. It has everything to do with our own.

March 08, 2023 10:34 - 2 minutes - 3.95 MB

Determined to signal that we oppose bad behavior, we declare that we’re not going to have compassion for someone because they don’t "deserve" it. The irony is that the people we think are the least deserving of compassion are probably the ones who need it most. And that’s the crux: Compassion has nothing to do with someone else’s behavior — it has everything to do with our own.
