Episode 124: Sarah Lea & We're More Similar Than Different

“Every living being has the need and the drive to be a mother, they have maternal and paternal instincts, the ability to feel pain, to feel suffering, to be jealous, happy, excited, and the ability to recognize loved ones. Consider that, the next time you buy animal products.”On this week’s episode of the Eat Green Make Green Podcast, the one and only Sarah Lea is back! Sarah is a professional Animal Communicator, Reiki Practitioner, and outspoken animal rights activist originally from South Africa and now based in Los Angeles.
