Are you overwhelmed by the idea of cooking? Or wish you had a few more go-to recipes? Then this episode is for you. We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Learning how to cook is one of the most valuable skills you can understand, and preparing a meal is one of the creative and thoughtful ways to impress others and show love. And if you’re not cooking for others, you’re still cooking for yourself. In this conversation, Maša, the powerhouse responsible for all the recipes on our website, shares shortcuts, tricks, and tips to make cooking at home enjoyable. Looking for more?

One of our fondest memories is having a family outing at the zoo. It was surreal to see lions, tigers, elephants, and monkeys in person. Not only that, but zoos are critical for conservation and public education. At least so we thought… There’s a dark side to the zoo industry to suggest it’s more entertainment than conservation. But is it? In this conversation, we discuss the ethical considerations of zoos and some alternative ways to connect with animals. This episode is brought to you by Woron.

On the surface, it appears that minimalism has reached the mainstream. Minimalism is more widely accepted and, as a result, has lost its flair. Back in episode 46, we discussed what the future of minimalism would look like and pontificated on the trendiness of the movement. Well, almost two years on—where does it stand? More importantly, how do we feel about minimalism today? The answer might surprise you… In this conversation, we share our reflections on minimalism from people who create content about the very topic. This episode is brought to you by Woron.

Studies show that vegans are viewed more negatively than atheists, immigrants, homosexuals, and asexuals. In fact, the only group viewed more negatively than vegans were drug addicts! Beyond the surveys, we’ve felt it too. Whether it’s eating out with friends or meeting someone for the first time, veganism comes with an air of inconvenience, stigma and sometimes hate. Why is that? Why do so many people seem to dislike vegans? In this episode, we step outside of our vegan-friendly algorithms and face the harsh truth of how people feel about vegans and what that means for animal rights advocates.

When you meet someone for the first time, consciously and unconsciously, you’re assessing their status based on their job, education, where they live, the clothes they wear, the car they drive, and their cultural background. And you know what? They’re doing the exact same thing to you. But how healthy is status classification? Why does it matter so much to us? Whether we want to admit it or not, we have a deep desire to prove ourselves and feel important. And what’s scary is that we place much of our self-worth on these status signals. In this conversation, we explore the challenges with wrapping status into our identities, and how minimalism can play a role in shifting the perspective of identity and value.

The combination of automation and a global pandemic has pushed society into a new norm of work. There’s no escaping the digital revolution as it impacts every industry.

In this episode, we share our reactions to some pretty compelling statistics about the future of work before sharing our approach to navigating these changes. This episode is brought to you by Woron.

Wool is one of the oldest and most popular fabrics in human history. What was once a resource used for survival has evolved into a commercial behemoth leading to the exploitation of sheep and lambs worldwide. However, is the wool industry really all that bad? Can we still buy products using wool as ethical consumers? Is there such thing as vegan-friendly wool? We discuss all these questions and more in this episode in an attempt to bring some clarity to an often confusing area of veganism. This episode is brought to you by Bhumi.

It’s no secret; mindful meditation is officially mainstream and a particularly prevalent practice that you’ll see many high performers (in all fields) starting their day with. If you don’t currently meditate, you may wonder if it really lives up to the hype. I mean, it must if you’re to allocate time in your busy day to connect with your breath. We’ve been there! Trust us. You can listen to and read about meditation in many places, but you don’t often hear about people’s personal struggles and experiences with such a profound practice. We’re no experts in this area, but we believe that our journeys are very relatable. In this candid conversation, we share our initial experiences with meditation, what shifted for us to make it a priority in our lives, and what the practice looks like for us today.
