TEDx Talk for the Animals Dec 23, 2020

Show notes

Changing the way we talk about animals may not change animals, but it might just change us, and it could just change the world. That is how I wrap up my new (and first) TEDx talk called ANIMALOGY: CHANGE YOUR LANGUAGE, CHANGE THE WORLD. I would be so grateful if you would go watch, comment, and share this TEDx talk. For the animals, thank you.

14-Year Podcast Anniversary Love Fest Dec 14, 2020

Show notes

Every single person who has ever written me an email or a kind comment has shaped who I am, has provided me with hope, and has guided the work I do to help create a compassionate world. May the stories you hear in this FOURTEEN-YEAR PODCAST ANNIVERSARY do the same for you.

So put your feet up (or get them moving), and take in the beautiful responses I've received from listeners, followers, and students this past year. I hope you are as moved by the letters as I am humbled by them.

This episode is about creating meaningful holidays (and lives) and includes a list of 25 Meaningful Zero-Waste, Ethical Gifts we can give during the holidays or anytime of year.

Creating an Extra Special Thanksgiving / Holiday During the Pandemic Nov 12, 2020

Show notes

People. Atmosphere. Beverages. Food. That's all we need to create a special event, holiday, or meal — but this year, we deserve to go just a little above and beyond to make it EXTRA special.

By the end of this episode, you'll have some ideas for doing just that — whether you'll be sharing a Zoom meal with out-of-town family or having a small gathering outside and safely distanced.

(NOTE: All of the suggestions apply even if you don't celebrate a traditional American Thanksgiving.)

Animal-Related Scary Movies Oct 23, 2020

Show notes

Don't worry! I don't recommend films in which animals are the victims of gruesome violence. So, grab some popcorn, get a pen and paper, and settle into this episode where I share my suggestions for films that are perfect for Halloween — for kids and adult alike.

Animal-Friendly Gardens: Plants, Flowers, and Trees Named After Animals Sep 02, 2020

Show notes

The thousands of animal-related words and expressions we have in our English language illustrate how deeply connected we are to animals, and that's never more apparent than in the names of plants — both the common names and the botanical names. Join me on this fun journey through gardens, fields, and forests as we discover plants, trees, flowers, and fungi named after animals.
