    Healthy Holiday Cooking with Kids

    Stephanie Conner, the host of the Kiddos in the Kitchen Podcast, explains how to cook with kids and why it's important. Reforming the food system is essential to help slow climate change, which seems daunting. But when we go back to the basics and teach our children to cook, not only do we give them the skills they need to eat healthy in the future, we also influence the next generation's relationship with food. Stephanie Conner shares her story about the challenges that came with having a picky eater who also has food allergies, and how she turned that challenge into an opportunity to get him into the kitchen from an early age. If you're looking for tips and tricks to get your kids into the kitchen this holiday season, this episode is for you.  Stephanie Conner is the host of the Kiddos in the Kitchen Podcast and the voice behind the blog KiddosCook.com. She's also a content strategist at TheActiveVoice.com and one of my favorite former editors.

    Circular Economy 101 with Katie Whalen

    In this episode, I interview Katie Whalen, the host of the Getting in the Loop podcast about circular economy basics, and why it's important for our environment and economy.  She explains the concept behind slowing loops and closing loops, and uses cell phones as an example. We also discuss how the idea of a circular economy is seen in the United States compared to Europe. For example, we talk mostly about zero waste and sustainability in the United States. In Europe, the importance of transitioning to a circular economy is more widely accepted. Finally, we discuss the challenges associated with getting to a circular economy.  Katie is an enlightening, knowledgeable and easy to understand expert in all things circular economy. She is currently getting her Ph.D. in circular economy at Lund University in Sweden. She is also one of the teachers in Coursera's Circular Economy course.  I hope you enjoy the episode and share it with friends and family who are interested in sustainability and the economy.
