For over 17 years, Colleen has dedicated her life to equipping people with the tools and resources they need to make healthy and compassionate choices.  In addition to so many other things, Colleen’s love of language really sets her work apart from other animal advocates.  We discussed how animal-related words and expressions that we used in our every day language reflect our relationship with animals.

Happy New Year!! For us this time of year is always about reflection and that of course brings up some interesting, and often regrettable, stories.  We talk about all things to do with the ‘silly season’ of Christmas and New Years  … what they mean to us, how we used to celebrate New Year's Eve, making New Year’s resolutions, and much more.  We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank all of our listeners for a wonderful year! Your support really does mean a lot, and we wish you all a healthy 2018 filled with compassion, love, and peace.  References Start 2018 by joining Veganuary  Seinfeld - The Nothing Pitch   Shia LaBeouf "Just Do It" Motivational Speech  Sia - Elastic Heart feat.

This is one of the most common questions that we’re asked … how do I deal with my non-vegan partner and children?  What do you say?? How do you even approach the topic when your partner isn’t even open to talking about veganism?? And what about kids who refuse to eat vegan food?

So many of you loved Episode 18 - Storytime From Around The World, Part 1 … and wanted more! Of course we couldn’t not make Part 2     In this episode we tell some hair-raising stories from what could have been a deadly end to a tuk-tuk ride in India, and a drug-search in Bali! But we survived, phew …. and on a much lighter note, our first experience of ‘connecting with spirit’ in France.  All up, get ready to travel and laugh with us as we share our adventures with you.  References Episode 018: Storytime From Around The World!

Do you suffer from Vystopia? Perhaps you’ve never even heard of the term? Is there a cure for it?  We discuss this and so much more with our special guest, vegan psychologist and author, Clare Mann.   Clare has been heavily involved in the Australian vegan and animal rights scene for many years now, and most recently she uploaded a semi-viral video on Facebook about what she calls “Vystopia”. This got our attention and we thought it would make for a fascinating topic to discuss and share with our audience.   Sure enough, it was an incredibly stimulating and thought provoking conversation that even exceeded our expectations, and offers our audience many great insights, tips, and strategies with which to feel empowered. We hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did.

So much has changed in regards to our health in the last few years, that what we experience on a daily basis today, would have seemed impossible years ago.

We get a lot of feedback from our listeners and so many of you enjoy our stories and flashbacks. So we thought we’d pick a few of our favorite stories and share them in this episode.  We ended up talking about many different topics and kind of traveled around the world at the same time!  Manifesting and living the dream, tears of liberation, belly laughs, dangerous hitch hiking in South Africa, pain and fear in Ecuador, monsoonal madness, mantras and yoga in Thailand… Get ready for an entertaining ride ….   References YouTube videos we mentioned… Storytime | WHAT HAPPENED CHANGED OUR LIFE!

Welcome to another episode in our Ask TVC series. In this episode we answer three very different questions we were asked by listeners. The first revolves around being vegan and dealing with stubborn, wilfully ignorant, and spiteful family members. The second asks how to get rid of bad eating habits and struggles with stress eating. The final question looks at a few of the 100+ excuses people use in an attempt to justify their continued consumption of animal products.

This episode was requested by a listener. They asked us to watch and discuss the film Unlocking The Cage.  The film follows animal rights lawyer Steven Wise in his unprecedented challenge to break down the legal wall that separates animals from humans. After thirty years of struggling with ineffective animal welfare laws, Steve and his legal team, the Nonhuman Rights Project (NhRP), are making history by filing the first lawsuits that seek to transform an animal from a thing with no rights to a person with legal protections.

As minimalists, we've been cutting down our possessions for the last 10 years. We’ve let go of so many things…. we even sold our wedding rings!

At 17 years old, James Aspey was diagnosed with leukemia and was given only 6 weeks to live. He beat the cancer, lived a life of hard partying, drugs, and developed an eating disorder.  Many years later, his life changed on a cruise ship - of all places!  Fast forward to today and James has replaced drugs, cancer, and bulimia with surfing, vegan activism, and meditation. In 2014, James took a 365 day vow of silence to raise awareness for animals… and since breaking that vow on mainstream television, he has not stopped talking and educating people about animal liberation and peace.  As an animal rights activist, James has taken part in a multitude of different forms of activism, including giving hundreds of talks around the world, with his most popular speech having 12 million views on social media!  It was a pleasure to catch up with and learn from today’s special guest, James Aspey.

We live a fairly transient life and our recent move made us reassess all the stuff we own. Whilst preparing for our move, we were knee-deep in boxes and felt like minimalist failures! What and why are we still holding onto stuff?? To give you a better visual of what we recently traveled with, here’s a picture of all our stuff. In this podcast episode, we forgot to mention the fan box … which we also squeezed a wok into! Oh, and the two big backpacks also contain our towels and bedding. We’re thinking of recording another episode about Minimalism - talking more about what it means to us and some of the more difficult items we’ve let go of over the years. If you’d like to hear those stories and more on this topic, let us know in the comments below these notes. And please leave us any questions you might have too.

We were asked some great questions by various people about Karma, spiritual truths, and veganism… so we combined some of these questions and answer them in this episode.  Do you believe in Karma? Does eating animals give you bad Karma? How do spiritual truths hold up when put in the context of veganism?  Lots of great questions that could go in so many directions!

The new film Land of Hope and Glory exposes the truth about animal agriculture in the UK and really breaks down the misconception that farms certified as free-range and organic are any better than regular factory farms. The film also proves that the horrors of the animal agriculture industry don’t just happen in America … these are standard industry practices that happen all over the world - including in the UK.  The film has had a great amount of success in such a short time since its release, and we wanted to learn more about the film’s production and the man behind the project.  Our special guest is animal rights activist, YouTuber, and producer of the film, Earthling Ed.  References Land of Hope and Glory Website   YouTube  Earthling Ed's YouTube Channel Instrumental music produced by Chuki   Thanks for Listening!  To share your thoughts • Leave a comment in the comment section below. • Ask a question in the comment section below for our 'Ask TVC' series. • Share this show on Twitter, Facebook, or any of your other social media.  To help out the show • Leave a review and rating on iTunes. Your ratings and reviews really help and we read each one.

This episode was inspired by a conversation we listened to between Russel Brand and Simon Amstell about their use of conscience altering drugs to get a better insight into some of life’s bigger questions.  Their conversation made us think about several of our own experiences, including a “plant medicine” ceremony in South America, and the time we thought we joined a cult in India!  References Our review of Carnage  The Power of Now A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment.

We might as well have spoken to Superwoman for today’s episode, because our special guest, Fiona Oakes, is one extraordinary human being!  Vegan for over 40 years, Fiona is an endurance runner and holds 3 marathon world records. She is the fastest woman in the world to run a marathon on all seven continents and the north pole in both cumulative and elapsed time. Fiona has competed internationally in more than 50 marathons and set 5 marathon course records around the globe, including The Antarctic Ice Marathon. In 2015 Fiona ran 6 official marathons in 6 days on 6 continents.  In April 2017, Fiona ran what’s known as the “toughest footrace on earth” the Marathon Des Sables, a 250 km (156 miles) race through the Sahara Desert. On top of all this, she almost single-handedly runs the Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary where she cares for almost 500 animals!!  In fact, that’s the main point of her running, and everything she does … it’s for the animals.  She really is a super - woman who smashes through the stereotype of vegans being weak, and her passion for helping animals is incredibly inspiring.  References Want to help Fiona out?   Donate to Tower Hill Stables Animal Sanctuary Watch the trailer for Fiona’s new documentary film trailer Running For Good Will’s Vegan Shoes making  the Oakes Cross Running Shoe later in 2017  Follow Fiona on Facebook Instrumental music produced by Chuki   Thanks for Listening!  To share your thoughts • Leave a comment in the comment section below. • Ask a question in the comment section below for our 'Ask TVC' series. • Share this show on Twitter, Facebook, or any of your other social media.  To help out the show • Leave a review and rating on iTunes. Your ratings and reviews really help and we read each one.

Today’s episode is extremely powerful and motivating. Our guest is Tal Gilboa - we met her recently on Koh Phangan in Thailand, and her story was incredible to discuss in person. Tal is an Animal Liberation Activist, she founded the Israeli Animal Liberation Front, and she was the winner of Israel’s 2014 Big Brother television show. On top of all that, she’s a mother of 3! Tal is an absolute powerhouse, holds nothing back, her approach to vegan activism is hardline, and she is one strong force to be reckoned with! Her life is fascinating and our conversation was something we didn’t expect.

Welcome to another episode in our Ask TVC series. We ask our audience to send us their questions, and each week we’ll select one juicy question that we can answer and discuss in detail.  This episode is a follow up to episode 002 which discussed the monetary system, working the rest of your life in a job you’re not satisfied with, and how to combine working and traveling.  A lot of questions came from that episode such as how do people with families make significant life changes or consider living a minimalist lifestyle, and how can people who can’t afford to travel or change jobs create a more exciting experience for themselves?  We offer some suggestions in this episode and also draw on other people, families, books, and movies for inspiration and ideas.

(We spoke to Kip back in late June, just after his film 'What The Health' was released on Netflix) It was an honor, and a thrill, to have Kip Andersen on the show! Kip is the co-director & producer of the outstanding documentaries Cowspiracy and What The Health. Cowspiracy: The Sustainability Secret is a groundbreaking feature-length environmental documentary following intrepid filmmaker Kip Andersen as he uncovers the most destructive industry facing the planet today – and investigates why the world’s leading environmental organizations are too afraid to talk about it. Animal agriculture is the leading cause of deforestation, water consumption and pollution, is responsible for more greenhouse gases than the transportation industry, and is a primary driver of rainforest destruction, species extinction, habitat loss, topsoil erosion, ocean “dead zones,” and virtually every other environmental ill. Yet it goes on, almost entirely unchallenged. What the Health is the groundbreaking follow-up film from the creators of the award-winning documentary Cowspiracy. The film exposes the collusion and corruption in government and big business that is costing us trillions of healthcare dollars, and keeping us sick. What The Health is a surprising, and at times hilarious, investigative documentary that will be an eye-opener for everyone concerned about our nation’s health and how big business influences it. Very exciting to hear that Kip is working on a few other projects and it sounds like 2018 is going to be a big year!

This is the first episode in our Ask TVC series. We asked our audience to send us their questions, and each week we’ll select one juicy question that we can answer and discuss in detail. We loved that our first question came from a 17-year-old from the Netherlands who is pondering some deep questions about her work life that lies ahead. She asked us about our thoughts on the monetary system, how is it possible to travel and learn more about the world whilst earning a living, and how not to feel sad and stressed about the thought of needing to work for the rest of her life. This question was a perfect segue` from episode 001, in which we discussed our experience of change in our lives and careers. We kind of opened Pandora’s box with this question, and it certainly won’t be the last time we discuss this topic… this is just the tip of the iceberg!

Welcome to our very first Podcast! We’re definitely in uncharted waters, and it’s a mixed feeling of excitement and nerves. Seeing as though this is all so new to us, and we’re going through so many changes in our work lives at the moment, we wanted to open the first episode by talking about change. Change is inevitable, but it’s also incredibly scary! Why do we avoid change, why is it so daunting, why would we want to change if we’re currently "comfortable"? … all questions we discuss as we reflect on the somewhat drastic changes we’ve made over the last 9 years.
