Podcasts about conscious consumption

Coffee. We love it so much! However, in spite of our love for coffee, we have all been burned by taking in just a little too much caffeine as we sip, cup, and enjoy. As technology and methods around decaf coffee have improved and evolved, so too has the demand for having more control over the stimulating effects of the beverage.  This is where Caffeine Control Coffee comes in to educate us on caffeine and provide options for people who want to love coffee but stave off the less desirable impacts of it.  Beginning in 2003 as a barista in college, Pete Licata fell in love with both coffee and the industry behind it. As he worked in various cafes he took on leadership positions as well as roasting he also became deeply involved in competitions leading to his 2x US Championship titles and finally winning WBC in 2013.  Pete is a longtime coach and mentor for world class baristas and founder of Licata Coffee Consulting.  In 2019 he took on R+D and eventually the role of Head of Coffee work in Australia for Nomad Coffee Group  In 2025 Pete, along with his wife Maria, opened Caffeine Control Coffee. A business focused on bringing clarity on caffeine in coffee with a focus on wellness to the masses with products designed to control how much and when their customers drink caffeine. We discuss:  The Evolution of Decaf Coffee Quality and Consumer / Professional Perception of Decaf Intentionality in Coffee Blending The Rise of Conscious Consumption and Health The Issue of Traceability in Decaf Coffee Exploring Caffeine's Impact on Health Navigating Caffeine Levels Brewing Techniques for Decaf Eye Opening Caffeine Content Myths What The Future Holds For Caffeine Awareness  Links: https://caffeinecontrol.coffee/ @caffeinecontrol.coffee    Related episodes: 154: Decoding Decaf w/ Mike Stumpf of Swiss Water Decaffeinated Coffee 168 : How to get the Best from your Coffee w/ WBC 2013 Champ, Pete Licata 350 : The Physics of Filter Coffee w/ Jonathan Gagné 003: The Role of Mentorship in Specialty Coffee w/ Pete Licata 452: Championing the Customer Experience in Coffee w/ 3x SA Barista Champion, Winston Douglas Thomas of Cedar Coffee   KEYS TO THE SHOP OFFERS 1:1 CONSULTING AND COACHING!

Have you heard of Cannabis yoga before?  Today we are exploring the merging of these two worlds. This is not a subject the school teaches, though as something that exists in the world, we though it might be interesting to hear about it!  Throughout history, plants have been revered as great medicine healers, by Yogis and Rishis as well. Modern culture has in a way normalized the everyday use of the plant, which has the potential of distracting from the potency of the medicine. In this episode Yael Ginzburg speaks with Adayna Janelle about incorporating the wisdom of the plant in the yoga practice. They also speak about the entrepreneurial path of a holistic practitioner.  Janelle is a Yoga and meditation teacher, Reiki master, sound healer and founder of Soul School. Topics covered-  Conscious consumption Tapping into intention  Reiki healing  Being a business owner and entrepreneur in the holistic health world The ability to shift in each moment  Soul School's website  Janelle's Instagram @adaynajanelle_yoga Check out the different experiences Yandara offers on our website Yandara's Instagram @yandarayoga Yael's Instagram @yaelginzburg

In this episode, Kristen and guest Jennifer Evans explore the importance of conscious consumption and how it shapes our lives

As an eco-conscious global citizen, Caroline Morrison's ultra environmentally-forward Californian upbringing informed her foray into entrepreneurship in the French capital by way of Landline, a general supplies store. Determined to leverage her own long-held beliefs about sustainability and positive change, she created a space that allows people to enjoy a bit of retail therapy through an experience focused on conscious consumption. A place where people can invest in well-made household products, toys, clothing, and many other objects, she built a community where the concept is about buying better and less. Caroline explains the importance in creating a shop that is accessible and relatable, while also presenting utilitarian, well-crafted products all made in Europe, to inspire better consumption habits for her customers. She believes that everyone can make positive change on their own micro level by making an effort in how they consume everyday goods.

What in the world is a psychedelics podcast doing talking about “personal style” and fashion?! This has to be the first. But discovering your personal style is identity work that requires vulnerability. It's a deeply meaningful journey of self discovery. If you don't see the connection now, then you will by the end of this podcast.In this episode, I am introducing a concept around the different stages of psychedelic integration: There is the “heavy lifting” stage where we're doing deep work to significantly improve our lives, followed by the “refinement” stage which is a lighter process of fine tuning.For me, this refinement process is showing up in my journey to discover my personal style. The misalignment between my identity and my wardrobe has come up a few times during psychedelic journeys, and I am finally addressing it so that the outside is a true reflection of my inside. I also make the connection between the responsibility to find your personal style, living a values-based life, and sustainable consumption.Topics Covered:The “heavy lifting” vs “refinement” stages of psychedelic integrationThe connection between life satisfaction and values-alignmentHow refinement is showing up for me through personal styleHow personal style came up during my psychedelic experiencesWhy I stopped caring about fashion during my healing chapterWhy I started caring about fashion again after my healing chapterFast fashion overconsumption as a result of not knowing my personal styleMy core values that are aligned with knowing my personal styleMy journey to discover my personal style so farConsumption habits and making wise purchase decisionsShow Links:1:1 Coaching with LanaEarth Runners - 10% off with LANAEpisode 45: My Iboga Journey (Spotify | Apple | YouTube)Episode 60: My Shipibo Ayahuasca Journey (Spotify | Apple | YouTube)Episode 79: My 5-MeO-DMT Journey (Spotify | Apple | YouTube)Wear It Well by Allison Bornstien [book]Sustain This!

Julie Moorhouse of Goodmaker Tales joins me to discuss sustainable fashion and how you can become more sustainable in your clothing choices!TakeawaysThe most sustainable clothes are the ones you already own, so value and reuse them.Consider buying secondhand or renting clothes to reduce waste.Choose quality over quantity and invest in pieces that will last.Be mindful of the toxins in clothing and look for labels like Oecotex and BlueSign for safer options.Opt for clothing with sustainable design features, such as button flies instead of zippers.Follow trends consciously and focus on developing your personal style. There are differences in fashion trends between countries, with Spain known for its colorful and expressive clothing.Fast fashion brands like Zara have a rapid production process, going from concept to store shelf in a short period of time.There are sustainable alternatives in footwear, such as apple skin leather and pineapple leather.Individual actions and conscious consumer choices play a crucial role in driving sustainability in the fashion industry.Enjoy!To connect with Julie and find more resources on living a more sustainable life, visit https://goodmakertales.comChapters00:00 Introduction and Overview08:45 Innovative Technologies for Recycling Clothing26:03 The Impact of Toxins in Clothing32:32 Sustainable Design Features in Clothing41:11 Sustainable Alternatives in FootwearSupport the showYou can now support the show and help me to keep having inspiring, insightful and impactful conversations by subscribing!

Dr. Melanie Joy dives deep into the concept of "relational literacy," explaining it as the art and science of healthy relating. By fostering relational literacy, we not only bridge the divide between different dietary choices, but it also plays a pivotal role in personal growth, enhancing our relationships, and initiating both social and ecological transformations. Dr. Joy elucidates that the heart of relational literacy lies in practicing integrity and honoring dignity, which, in turn, leads to feelings of security and connection. By integrating core values of compassion and justice into our actions and recognizing the inherent worth in all beings, we can reshape our interactions and, ultimately, our world. #RelationalLiteracy #IntegrityAndDignity #TransformativeRelationships

In episode 112 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we will be talking a whole lot of shit. Our focus today is on a topic that I care deeply about, and I spend a lot of time thinking about it because I have three large dogs: dog poop. More specifically, we discuss the reasons why we all should be picking up our dog's poop and the best ways to dispose of it once we do. To help lead this conversation, I am excited to introduce Rose Seemann. The owner and operator of EnviroWagg, a company dedicated to collecting and composting canine waste into safe, nutrient-rich garden soil. She established the company after her extensive investigations into the issue of pet waste disposal in North America. Rose's goal is to educate and guide pet owners in the safe and responsible composting and up-cycling of their dogs' and cats' waste - in doing so, she hopes to nudge the world toward a more sustainable future.

In episode 304, Kestrel welcomes Eric Liedtke, the co-founder and CEO of UNLESS, to the show. A collective of innovators, engineers, artists, and activists, UNLESS make plant-based streetwear designed to leave zero plastic waste. “I think sustainability is one of those hygiene words at this point — like everybody can talk themselves into they're doing sustainable things. I think we need to get more specific. I think as marketers and storytellers, we need to really be very clear with our consumers what we're doing. And you know, this crewneck that nobody can see today that I'm wearing, it's gonna last as long as anything else, but when you're done with it, it will go harmlessly back to earth. And I'm using some of our old product and some of our scraps actually as feed for my raised bed gardens at home. This stuff works and it makes good, nutritious soil that we can grow roses or cotton or tomatoes out of.” -Eric Have you ever heard that recurring question in the sustainability and fashion space? I'd say it's also one that permeates the world of climate advocacy as well – and let's be honest, it's pretty binary-oriented in its framing.  I'm talking about the question of which is needed most – individual action, governmental action or corporate change. I mean, let's be real – we are in a state of emergency here, so all hands on deck is preferable, and many of these overlap, but you know, the mainstream narrative continues to search for the golden ticket that will get us all out of this mess.  One thing I hear so much more nowadays than in recent years is – the need for corporations to change. There are petitions regularly circulated, there's all the advocacy work organizations like Remake are doing pushing brands to sign onto the International Accord for garment worker safety. And in alignment with this, there is a lot going on with legislation to try to pass legal frameworks that would hold brands accountable to do better. And on that corporate change note – at this current moment in time, we are amidst an era of strikes happening across different industries because the power holders on top don't want to share with the folks working further down the hierarchy. From actors and writers in the entertainment industry to municipal workers and hotel employees, the pressure is on for corporations to change – to share a bigger piece of the massive pie they're indulging in. But also – it's important to acknowledge that there are so many folks across the corporate space working in sustainability and beyond, and trying to challenge the system from within to change. And let's be real – that's not an easy task with all the current systems in place.  This week's guest worked from the inside for a so-called *power player* for over 25 years trying to push for change, and then, he left to start his own company with a focus on collaborating with innovators, engineers, artists, and activists, to make plant-based streetwear that leaves zero plastic waste behind.  Quotes & links from the conversation: “I did as much as I could when I was at Adidas to turn us from a brand that was focused on just virgin polyester use — as for those that don't know, 70% of fashion and especially sports brands are made from petroleum. It's basically been this advent of petroleum-based product called polyesters or nylons or spandexes, but it all comes from petroleum-based products, which is forever material. When you start to become aware of that, and you start to become aware of the degradation these forever materials have on the planet, on our fellow species, on ourselves, you find it harder and harder to whisper yourself to sleep. And those voices that were personal to you, come up louder and louder in your head. And you can't unhear and unsee the things you're doing. So, at a certain point, you're like ok, I need to step outside and take this industrial experience I have from 26 years at Adidas and my passion for a better way and helping solve the world's problems, and combine it into one effort, and that really was joining forces with a band of likeminded people to create the UNLESS Collective.” -Eric (9:30) Natural Fiber Welding (one of the companies UNLESS partners with) — listen to past episode 124 featuring their founder Luke Haverhals “Luke obviously has this unique innovation of plant-based leather, 100% plant-based leather (the only one I've found by the way), and there's a lot of plants being used for leather-type material — whether it be grapes or apples or coconut or cactus, I think there's a lot of solutions out there. Most of them, if not all of them that I've found, are fillers for polyurethane which is another form of plastic and also need to have backing, which they have to glue a synthetic backing on the back for stability.” -Eric (21:45) UNLESS Website Follow Eric on Instagram > Follow UNLESS on Instagram >

We've heard that the most sustainable item is the one you already own - but when you *are* acquiring something, around here, we like to shop secondhand first. Even if you're a seasoned thrifter, there are plenty of areas we don't usually think of shopping secondhand. Today's episode will hopefully help us expand our mindsets around shopping pre-loved - from your home to your hobbies, whatever you want is almost certainly already circulating in the marketplace.

Conscious Consumption: How Your Choices Impact Your Life   In this episode of the School of Self-Image podcast, host Tonya Leigh discusses the importance of conscious consumption. She prompts listeners to reflect on what they have consumed throughout the day and its impact on their lives. Tonya also introduces the upcoming "Week of Calm" workshop and shares her experience of finding calm amidst the chaos of the COVID-19 pandemic. Tune in to learn more about the power of conscious consumption and how it can positively shape your life. What Tonya covers in this episode:  01:04 Week of Calm.  07:05 Conscious consumption. 09:22 Self-image and reference group. 15:11 Consuming sexy foods. 18:38 Letting go of consumption.   Quotes:   What have you consumed today? From the books you've read to the people you've hung out with to the music you've listened to, and even to the food that you've ingested.  I want you to think about the impact that those consumptions are having on your life. Are you consuming consciously? If it's meant to be it's up to me. If you want to change your life one of the quickest and fastest ways to do it is to start consciously consuming what you want to become. I put myself in certain environments that instantly shook me up to potential new perspectives and new ways of thinking and therefore fast-tracked my growth and my experience in those areas. Do you want to become that thing that you're consuming? Because if you don't, you need to stop consuming it. A beautiful life has more to do with what you subtract than what you add.   Useful Resources:    Join Now!  https://schoolofselfimage.com/join    Week of Calm: https://schoolofselfimage.com/calm     FREE Download: https://schoolofselfimage.com/self-image-manifesto/     Join us at SOSI South!:  http://schoolofselfimage.com/south     Sign up for the  Weekly  Edit!  http://schoolofselfimage.com/edit   Connect with Self-Image Coach Tonya Leigh:     Website:  https://schoolofselfimage.com     Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/tonyaleigh       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TonyaLeighOfficial     TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thetonyaleigh        YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TonyaLeighOfficial    

In this episode of "Conscious Consumption," I reveal my early journey into the world of trade shows, which began when I was just 16 years old. I delve into practical advice on establishing meaningful connections within the dynamic realm of the fashion industry. Furthermore, I offer a comprehensive recap of my vibrant week in Las Vegas, sharing firsthand accounts of my experiences. If you harbor an interest in becoming a part of the fashion industry, this particular episode holds invaluable insights that you won't want to miss!

This episode of Conscious Consumption gives an overview of what microfibres are and how we release hundreds of thousands of them every single time we do the laundry. When we wash clothes made from synthetic materials like polyester or nylon, the friction, detergent action, and mechanical forces in the washing machine cause these fabrics to shed microfibers. These microfibers then enter the wastewater along with the wash water. Because they are so tiny, conventional wastewater treatment plants are not equipped to effectively capture these microfibers, and as a result, many of them end up being released into waterways and eventually reaching oceans and other bodies of water.Raising awareness about the impact of microfiber pollution and adopting more eco-friendly laundry practices are essential steps in tackling this environmental problem and moving towards more sustainable consumption habits.Listen to learn how you can wash your clothes in a more responsible manner!Our clothes shed microfibres – here's what we can do...

Sustainable fashion is complex. Where do we start as a consumer? How much responsibility do we have and how do we know that what we buy is actually more sustainable and ethical? In today's episode, we want to answer these questions and talk about greenwashing, supporting small and local businesses, materials, and quality of clothes too. Hopefully, this can help you make informed choices or offer an additional perspective for future fashion consumption.

In this episode, I touch on past issues with slavery in the textile industry, specifically with cotton cultivation. I also discuss how companies are still exploiting workers to mass produce goods for cheap. It's time for us as consumers to reflect on whether or not we want to support companies who are involved with these labor practices. Join the conversation on "Conscious Consumption" and be part of the movement to create a more equitable and responsible fashion industry.

In episode 298, Kestrel welcomes Anjana Baburaj to the show. An impact-focused strategist and communications specialist, Anjana works with mission-driven organizations to leverage communication platforms to increase visibility and achieve sustainability and impact goals. “No matter how much we try to control — if we keep overconsuming, we're not getting anywhere with anything that we're doing for sustainability. So, that is one of the reasons I wanted to know — why is this happening? And that's how I got into my research.” -Anjana If you've been following along over the last couple of years, I have often brought up the links between fast fashion and fast media. In today's world, I believe the only way to slow down fashion is to also slow down media – since fashion and media are intrinsically linked predominantly around driving consumption. This leads me to this week's guest, who recently conducted some powerful research focused on fashion, social media, and consumption. Have you heard of the TikTok Shein haul trend? You may have seen it – basically, it involves individuals sharing all the items that they purchased from ultra fast fashion brand Shein in a video (or haul). Sometimes they disclose how much money they spent on the clothing, and as this week's guest concludes, it's largely interconnected to showcasing social status. The United States is Shein's largest market – I have personally experienced their aggressive social media tactics – I get these messages that are tagging me in a visual telling me how to become a Shein ambassador. I feel like I am constantly flagging them as spam and blocking the accounts, but they never stop rolling in. The surprising thing is that it's not Shein's actual *influencers* or *paid partners* that drive the company's sales – instead, it's User Generated Content, which is basically content individuals post on social media without receiving any payment. They do it at their own will, and it's fueling the continual growth of this ultra fast fashion brand. There is so much to break down when it comes to these layers — tune in to hear more directly from Anjana. Quotes & links from the conversation: “The reality is that we will always be pressured to consume more — that is how business works. Because the idea of growth is tightly linked to economics of sale, and that is how even the fundamentals of GDP work. And we can see that the developing countries will soon catch up with the developed nations in terms of the amount of consumption, which is bad. But to change that, the definition of growth should change — GDP should probably not be the sole indicator of how a nation is classified as developed. And systems should change. This will take more time and effort, but reducing consumption and choosing wisely, even it is from a mass-market brand, can be done faster if individuals and communities engage in conscious consumption.”-Anjana (35:53) Connect with Anjana on LinkedIn Anjana's Website  Follow Anjana on Instagram >

Welcome back, Mamas. For many mothers who really feel the creative impulse, the act of making art is not only a means of preservation but also a form of self-expression and a way to explore their own identity, not to mention a way to make a living.Having children is a transformative experience that can inspire new perspectives and ways of seeing the world. This can lead to a deeper appreciation for the beauty and complexity of the world, and a desire to capture and share these insights through the arts; photography, film, music, the written word, or dance. In fact, ALL WE DO is a creative act.We are all intuitively creative beings who need to create and express ourselves in some form. One question dominates my mind though; why is it, that mothers are overlooked in the artistic field?Enter Rachel Larsen Weaver. An artist-educator and photographer joyfully living on the Maryland beaches of the Chesapeake Bay. A mother to five and creator of moments, her enthusiasm for details and self-love are infectious, infusing creative sessions with a reverence for the simplest pleasures. Her portfolio and practice is fat-affirming, mindful, and genuine, focusing on the life and light of clients. Co-founder of NOW, NOW School, and creator of #FindingMyselfInPortraits and the original Long Form Sessions, Rachel travels the country documenting mothers, bodies, and details. A photographer who has taken her passion and run with it. Despite being a mother of 5, she is proving her voice is worthy of attention. And she is urging us to follow in her footsteps. With her uniquely personal photographic style, she is creating a document of motherhood that really hits the heart of what it REALLY means to be a woman during this transformative experience.Today we discuss the state of 'women in the arts' and the creative impulse. We also hear about Rachels's experience of motherhood and the way she deals with the ebb and flow of its challenges and triumphs.I really hope you find yourself some quiet time, some 'me' time, to get cozy and relaxed enough to enjoy this week's episode. And I also like to think that you will find some new perspective, some new insight into your own reality, experiences, and struggles, through the photographic eye of Rachel Larsen Weaver.Thank you sooo much for stopping by. ~Sat Nam~[For Closed Captions, head over to my YouTube channel, and WATCH US have this great discussion.][Time stamps] [0:00] - Acknowledgements[0:40] - Welcome Mamas[3:15] - Images of how motherhood affects us[5:50] - A Fork in the Road[10:32] - How we see mothers[12:00] - Capturing Beauty[13:50] - Training your gaze[15:15]- Everyday image creators[15:45] - Keeping us marginalized [18:10] - The Beauty and The Mess[19:45] - More art, less advertising[23:41] - Body Image[26:06] - Hope for the new generation[30:27] - Holy-Mother Architype/ The Anger Taboo[32:00] - Mothers are Artists[33:15] - Conscious Consumption[35:35] - Continually Question what we've been told.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------You can find Rachel and her amazing work at: https://www.rachellarsenweaver.com/-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Mama Rising Facilitator training is open for enrolment RIGHT NOW.

We're thrilled to have Todd White, founder of Dry Farm Wines, back on our podcast! In our previous discussion in 2020 Todd shared a lot of the dirty secrets behind the wine industry and today we take a deeper dive on this topic. He explains why most of us feel terrible when drinking conventional wine, shocking statistics about the wine industry, the terrifying additives used in the United States, and his top tip for choosing a healthier wine when you go out to eat. This is a great opportunity to learn more about his company, Dry Farm Wines, which we both love because it's a great option for cleaner wine that is sugar-free, lower in sulfites, Paleo & Keto-friendly.As the founder of Dry Farm Wines, a writer, speaker, and a leader in the organic/Natural Wine movement, Todd White has widely educated communities on conscious consumption. Todd is a self described biohacker who practices daily meditation, Wim Hof breathing, cold thermogenesis, a ketogenic diet, and daily 22 hour intermittent fasting.

Early in the month of November, voters in Maryland and Missouri made a major statement by legalizing the recreational use of cannabis. While it is always great to see voters and lawmakers make an effort to change the way cannabis is perceived on the books, there are still a few barriers that stand between eligible consumers and the various benefits provided by the plant. Negative stereotypes, cultural perceptions and the impact of the War on Drugs have placed a negative stigma around the plant in many communities of color. Fortunately, there are innovative figures within the cannabis industry that are working to tear down this negative stigma one day at a time. In this week's episode, Sysamone Phaphon, Founder of KhuenPhu and Eunice Kim, Founder of HiVi, talk about their personal relationships with the plant, negative perceptions of cannabis within AAPI communities and their Modern Cannabis campaign. Kim and Phaphon also emphasize the importance of conscious consumption while sharing strategies to create a more inclusive cannabis community among AAPI consumers.

In episode 47 of the Outdoor Minimalist podcast, we get to talk about one of my favorite topics once again: dogs! We have covered a fair number of dog-related topics including trail etiquette, hiking with small dogs, and even the impacts of the pet food industry. So, in this episode, we discuss how other areas of the pet industry and pet parent consumption impacts the environment. To help give us some pointers on how to lessen the impacts of having a canine companion, I had the pleasure of chatting with Briahna Hendey, the creator of Boba the Sustainable Mutt. Briahna is an environmental social scientist who is passionate about bringing meaningful discussions of sustainable living to the dog community. Drawing upon her experiences working in the domains of sustainability, well-being, and conservation education in a zoo setting, Briahna hopes to spread the message that a fulfilling life with dogs needn't compromise the environment.

The production pace of the beauty and fashion industry is out of control, but what's the solution? We talk about being more mindful with our fashion and beauty choices, and brands that encourage the same (see: KraveBeauty's #SlowDownSkincare initiative). As journalists who report on a lot of these new products, we realize we're part of the problem! But there's room for nuance in this conversation, so let's discuss. Also in this episode: Pat McGrath Labs Divine Skin Rose 001; Curlsmith's acquisition (and the curly-hair soufflé everyone loves); Onda Beauty news; and the intriguing role a Milani concealer palette played in Johnny Depp's defamation suit against Amber Heard.Shop the products mentioned on Ep. 400: shopmyshelf.us/collections/48349Links and sponsor promo codes: fatmascara.com/blogPrivate Facebook Group: Fat Mascara Raising a WandSocial media: @fatmascara, @jessicamatlin, @jenn_editSubmit a "Raise A Wand" product recommendation and be featured on the show: email info@fatmascara.com or leave a voicemail at 646-481-8182 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
