    #74 How To Go Plant-Based On A Budget With Grocery Wizard & Texas Herbivore Destiny DeJesus

    Have you ever thought about adopting a plant-based diet? Or maybe you’re like me, an old timer vegan who still feels lost in the kitchen.

    *Enter Destiny DeJesus on stage left*

    Destiny, creator of Eat Yo Destiny, is here to show us how to eat in a way that helps our bodies thrive, the planet heal, and protects animals from harm. A tiny house livin' vegan in Texas, she highlights how to make plant-based eating affordable by sharing her best money saving tips for the grocery store and beyond.

    In this episode she reveals how to transition from eating animals to a plant-based diet (even if you travel often), her healthy and easy go-to meals, a fool-proof recipe for crispy tofu, the reality of buying and living in a tiny house, and why food pantries are for everyone.

    We answer questions from our listeners like, “Does going raw vegan really make your period cramps go away?”, “Have you ever accidentally eaten something that wasn’t vegan?," and most importantly, “How does Scotty like VDog?” 🐶

    Podcast guest list: Charlie Sprinkman from Everywhere is Queer, Kaysn Kile from Rural Gone Rouge, Wesley Kile from By Wesley Photography, Rivers Wilder Green (musician), Dianni Hall from While She's Away, and Charlie Alexander from TNET. Sound clip including pattrice jones from VINE Sanctuary.

    #72 Cows, Colonization, And Comradery: Exploring The Beyond Human World With pattrice jones

    #72 Cows, Colonization, And Comradery: Exploring The Beyond Human World With pattrice jones

    How are cows, colonization, and comradery all connected? Tune in to today’s episode with pattrice jones, co-founder of a LGBTQ+ led refuge for farmed animals that works at the intersection of social and environmental justice, to find out.

    At any one moment they care for upwards of 500 residents, forming a multi-species community which has informed the way pattrice navigates, writes about, and changes the world.

    In this episode jones candidly shares the stories of residents who are brave escapees of animal agriculture and speaks to the ways in which homophobia and specisism intersect.

    pattrice also gives practical advice on finding balance in your activism in a world where so many issues deserve our attention at any one moment, and what to do when we make mistakes in social justice movements.

    “As activists and advocates for animals, we need to help break the backgrounding and stereotyping of nonhuman animals in part by drawing peoples attention to the diversity — the wondrous diversity — of nonhuman life.”

    #71: From People Pleaser To Villain: The Recipe For Delicious Living With Kallie Klug

    #71: From People Pleaser To Villain: The Recipe For Delicious Living With Kallie Klug

    We’ve all heard the hero’s tale, but what about those in the shadows? Have you ever looked at a villain and thought that they looked divine, that their words or actions were delectable, or that they were living deliciously?

    In today’s episode Kallie Klug explains how we’ve gotten villains all wrong, and what we can learn from them when it comes to our own people pleasing tendencies. We ask questions like, ‘Why does being in our bodies matter?’ ‘How can I transform hurtful words that people assign to me and play with them instead?’

    We discuss what glimmers are, how to stop giving your precious life energy away to randos at the park (LOL…no, seriously), practical grounding techniques in moments of fawning, and what we can learn from the infamous Cruella De Vil.

    #70 All About Morocco: What To Know Before You Go (But Do Go, It's Awesome)

    #70 All About Morocco: What To Know Before You Go (But Do Go, It's Awesome)

    Is Morocco safe?
    What about for solo female travelers?
    How strict is the dress code for women?

    While the Unruly Podcast usually supplies the sound waves with tales of inspiration and bravery, today we sit down by the crackling wood stove with Calen and their partner Tim to answer all of these questions, and more.

    In this episode they discuss how to get to Morocco from Spain, dish out all you need to know if you decide to rent a car, and highlight some of their favorite destinations that they hit along the way. Additionally, they get real about what they would have done differently, what they wish they would have known before hand, and what it was like traveling as vegans in Morocco.

    Consider this interview as your go-to guide to traveling Morocco for the first time, brought to you by two seasoned travelers who want you to make the most out of your trip.
