Kitty Cotten is a vegan mama working to share her life and approach to simple living online. Kitty lives in a 'duel household', meaning she's vegan and her husband is not- something I get asked about frequently. Today we talk about where to start with minimalism and building a more sustainable wardrobe. Plus, positive birthing and minimalist parenting, both have been labeled as nearly 'impossible' but Kitty shows us it's not always as it seems.

The idea of being stretched too thin is oh so common in our current society.

Today's episode shares 3 ways to lighten your mental load, so you can ditch the guilt and live a little lighter.

Brittney Kane founder of Foreverland Farm, an animal sanctuary in Ohio, and I bonded over our 30 something, childless role in society. A society where women, even in 2019, are valued for their reproductive role over everything else. In today's Mother's Day Special we're discussing the female animal body, it's valuable role in animal agriculture and how a seemingly infertile sheep got Foreverland Farm going. Plus, a sanctuary's role in helping us learn that animals are 'here with us, not for us', as Brittney puts it.

We're officially 1 year into the life motto 'Life's Not That Serious', a motto about forgetting perfectionism, being present, and leaving behind those insecurities that aren't serving you. It's a great motto for anyone trying to live sustainably or any lifestyle that isn't 'standard'. I'll spill the raw and honest details on what's changed in the last year for me with this motto and I'm talking about why I quit zero waste the first time I tried it and how LNTS could have helped me.

Jenny Welbourn of Wear I Live is someone I've been wanting to share with the podcast for a while.

There's a weird thing happening on the internet, the word healthy has been redefined into something new, something almost unattainable, something #goals. Today I want to, in true Live Planted form, define healthy in practical, logical, terms and bring it back to reality. Especially as more popular vegans are quitting saying they don't 'feel healthy', this is the perfect time to talk about what healthy really means and how does it fit into your life. I'd love to hear your thoughts after listening to the episode. How do you define healthy?

There's been a rise of popular activists and YouTubers quitting veganism recently and I wanted to weigh in with a different opinion than you've heard before.

It's hard to slow down in a world where sayings like, 'money doesn't sleep,' 'hustle 24/7,' and 'sleep when I'm dead' are the norm. Today's 'Life's Not That Serious' episode focuses on fighting against the 'hustle everyday' society. We validate stress and call it working hard. But what's the toll of this 'hustle'? Life's not that serious that we need to overload ourselves with an ever increasing to-do list and growing self expectations. Today we'll get into why I think this 'get busy' society isn't worth subscribing to and what we can do to combat it even if your life is about as malleable as a brick wall.

We're all striving for something but in the internet world the struggle or reality can sometimes get lost. We've all heard the term 'Instagram vs. reality'. So today I thought Celia Ristow of Litterless was the perfect co-host for this episode exposing the reality of what we both still purchase as we work towards making less waste and living more sustainability. The idea of zero waste isn't to deprive yourself to meet some impossible standards, it's to make conscious decisions and do your best when making purchases while staying happy and healthy. Everything from cooking habits, to cleaning and travel, is covered on today's pod. Plus, we answer a few listener questions on zero waste. Enjoy!

I didn't think composting warranted its own episode, but you guys proved me wrong, asking so many interesting and specific questions that this turned into a full 'Composting 101' episode. Today we're covering why as individuals, environmentalists, or people trying to make less waste we should even care where our scraps of rotting food go. Not sure what to put in your composting bin? I got you covered. We're busting the most popular composting myths- stinky piles, attracting critters, and being overly complicated.

During the holidays there is a lot of comparison and perfectionism, this episode will shine some light on how to stress less about it. We're also talking about a 3 word exercise as an alternative to New Year's resolutions. Rather than a traditional resolution, which sometimes sounds like 'be a new person entirely', the 3 word resolution will help incorporate new practices and thoughts that you can grow with over time. All that plus a few questions you can ask yourself to eliminate trash. Hopefully this episode is a nice companion if you're traveling or off this week. Enjoy!

It may not always be glamorous but secondhand and thrift shopping is a wonderful option for creating less waste. Today I'm talking about the WHY and the HOW of thrift shopping. We'll talk about the marketing of buying (you're being marketed to whether you like it or not), why secondhand shopping is important for the waste stream, and I'll answer all your questions. Everything from bed bugs and sanitizing to buying secondhand animal products as a vegan. I'm even spilling the beans on where I shop and how to get in there and find what you like.

It's a statement I've seen a lot over the years, 'it's hard'. It's even one I've said myself, but making a lifestyle change is a lot more than just a challenge, it can be such a joy. Today I brought in Celia Ristow of Litterless to talk about the joy she finds from being an environmentalist, zero waster, and community activist. Celia shares the flexible approach to creating less waste, a rebellion against the glass jar as a symbol of the zero waste community, and why she dares to look a little different. Plus, we bust the myth that you can't go zero waste because it's expensive and why you don't have to be a pack mule to be prepared when you leave the house.

After so much confusion and concern about the new climate change report, I decided to break it down in a digestible way on today's episode. Everything from what's actually happening, to what can we do about it, and how to deal with the hopelessness in the face of such dire current events. "Future impacts and risks from climate change are directly tied to decisions made in the present", reads the report.

It's finally here!! The sustainable period episode I've been wanting to share forever, found it's perfect guest in Polly of Green Indy Blog. As Polly puts it, conversations about menstruation are more than just talking product options, it's about awareness, education, and options. The more we discuss, the more we have language for what's happening, the more we can feel normalized, and educated on what's happening to 50% of the population. The aim of the conversation is to bring awareness to women facing stigmas across the world, as well as share more environmentally friendly product options. PLUS, getting away from the militant idea of what zero waste is and are we justifying the use of plastic with brands like Everlane and Madewell doing 'recycled plastic' clothing lines? Is this a new form of greenwashing going almost undetected in the 'low impact/ zero waste' community? Let's let the conversation flow.

Converting to veganism, zero waste, or any other life change can be a big deal. Today I brought back licensed mental health therapist Casey Hill to talk about working through making big shifts in your life. We're sharing coping skills to make changes easier, why being realistic with yourself is so important, and the idea of 'holding space' as a way to work through emotions in the moment. Casey shares her new virtual therapy resource for people who are looking for a community when making a transition to veganism.

Have you heard about grass fed beef? There's an image of the idyllic cows roaming green grasses that comes to mind and the messaging behind grass fed meat is one of enviromental positivity, but is it true? Today environmental scientist and Harvard Farmed Animal Law & Policy Fellow, Matthew Hayek is on to talk about his new research into the sustainability of grass fed beef. We also touch on the terms sustainable, ethical, and humane- are they marketing or reality? Is lab grown meat sustainable? And the big 'p' word, protein, even comes up in today's pod. PS. We didn't touch on the cruelty that takes place inside the factory farms, grass fed farms, and any animal raising facility in today's episode. This episode was purely focused on the environmental aspect, more to come about the cruelty aspect in the future & there's plenty of past LP pods that focus on the topic of ethics.

It turns out many people are confused about the connection between self-love and being selfish, so this week I'm discussing the distinction between the two with a 'Life's Not that Serious' spin. Plus composting in your apartment, is it possible? How to handle a situation where a friend is bragging about fast fashion, not being a perfect zero waster, and how our mindset affects everything- and what we can do about it.

Sure, it's fun to imagine a fully sustainable wardrobe, but this week we're talking to someone who's actually been doing it for years. Ariana of Paris To Go is on the pod sharing her knowledge of sustainable fashion. What is it and why do we need to pay attention to shopping sustainability for clothing? We're talking about why a $10 tee doesn't actually exist, the marketing and quality (or lack thereof) to keep you in the buying cycle, and why it's so expensive. Plus, answering some of your questions on eco-fashion like can it be done a budget? How do I find professional and formal wear when shopping sustainability and more.

It's official, you guys requested more 'Life's Not That Serious' episodes so I'm delivering. Today, we're talking about distancing ourselves from our goals, when I first heard this it gave me a total lightbulb moment. The concept makes goals more attainable if you're consciously or subconsciously putting distance between you and something you want. Plus, a great article on how you don't owe anyone an interaction, a concept especially valid for vegans or people living a 'different' lifestyle where others have a lot of questions. And how our ability to be kind erodes when we aren't kind to ourselves. If there's something you want to hear discussed on a LNTS episode, let me know over on Instagram.
