What the El

In anticipation for the New Year bringing you beginning of a brand new DECADE, I wanted the last episode of 2020 to be that of a reflection of 2019. So join me in reflecting some of my personal blessings this year, and maybe you’ll think about everything you won! As usual find me on Twitter and Instagram @whattheelpod

I’m joined with the lovely Lucy Stafford to discuss eating with an impact. We touch on the importance of being cautious with your consumption of meat and diary, why this is important and tips that might help you make small positive changes. This is not going to be an episode everyone is ready to hear but we’ve been very reasonable and have avoided unleashing our angry vegan monologue (promise). Enjoy

This week I’m joined with Alex for a candid discussion about children of alcoholics and what #COAisathing means for us. Although I intend this discussion to bring some comfort to those who are in or have been in similar positions, I am not naive to how triggering this could be so please be conscious of this.
