Plant-Powered People Podcast

Life is always easier and more exciting when you have friends to share in your journey, and the path to plant-based living is no exception! On the Plant-Powered People Podcast, you’ll hear from folks who’ve embraced plant-based living while they share their experiences overcoming obstacles in the most graceful (and sometimes not-so-graceful) ways. Join hosts Michelle Cehn (founder of World of Vegan) and Toni Okamoto (founder of Plant Based on a Budget) every other week as they tackle challenges like being the only vegan in the family, what it’s like to be plant-based while working at a non-veg restaurant job, and more!
Very motivating!

This is one of my favorite podcasts. I appreciate the realness of Michelle and Toni, and also the positive messages. They are a wealth of knowledge and very generous with sharing. They have great guests on the podcasts for all things plant based. Great variety and I look forward to each new episode!

I’ve been vegan since 2006 and focused on a WFPB nutrition since 2011, I’ve been to numerous seminars, symposiums, conferences etc with many of the WFPB “giants” (Dr Barnard, Dr Esselstyn, Dr Campbell, Dr McDougall, etc) and your podcast episodes still deliver new information! I especially loved Dr Funk’s! Thank you!
Not What I Hoped

I listened to the June 15th episode about living with a partner who is not vegan hoping to hear some practical advice about how to sanely manage cooking for two different diets. Instead I got hear about how the guest speaker’s poor husband has to “shame eat” meat by leaving the house and eating alone. I feel terribly sorry for that husband and can’t imagine doing that to someone I love. The fact that the hosts thought this was acceptable was also disappointing, to say the least. I will not be listening to any other episodes.
Outstanding podcast!!

I love this podcast! Being a vegan is hard in a harshly nonvegan world, but Toni and Michelle’s spirits lift you up and they both share such great values. They are sweethearts and have great guests on their podcasts! Love love love 💕
Motivating for a Plant-Based Lifestyle
11/17/2023
I just found this podcast a few months ago and have been binge listening ever since. I listen to the new episodes as they come out, then go back and pick up where I left off with the older ones. I LOVE this podcast. I’m not yet caught up all the way, but I have a lot to say! This is truly like having 2 vegan friends who discuss all things related to veganism. Consuming plant-based media helps keep me motivated as I have no vegan friends IRL. This podcast is truly evergreen and even the first episodes from years ago have info that can be used now. I love Toni. I love how she is always complimentary to Michelle, lifting her up and celebrating her. I agree with Michelle and would banish Uggs from existence. Toni - I don’t go on Nextdoor anymore either. It’s a snake pit. Since you asked in your 11/1 episode, I am a middle-aged woman with no kids (by choice), just trying to make healthy, yummy, whole food plant based meals for my husband and myself. Constructive feedback- please don’t piggyback on each other’s questions to guests. I’ve noticed multiple times where the guest doesn’t remember all that was asked and the questions go unanswered. And sometimes I really want to know those answers. Thank you for an amazing resource!
Regarding parenthood

I wanted kids but waited too late and couldn’t have them. It breaks my heart to hear when someone who could just chooses not to. Children are not pollution. We are under the threat of under-population, thanks to low birth rates. Just makes my heart sad.
Plant-based BFFs

Long time listener, not just for the lifestyle tidbits but because I enjoy listening to Toni and Michelle’s close friendship. The ladies wanted to know who their audience is in the latest episode. I’m a millennial latina, with 2 rescued senior mutts :- )
