Did You Bring the Hummus? with Kimberly Winters

Today, I am joined by coach, Alyssa Almond of Rooted Rise. Alyssa began her career with Teach For America as a 3rd grade bilingual teacher in Washington Heights, NYC. Her fascination with languages and language learning called her to specialize in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL). She helped immigrants acquire the language skills needed to succeed in the US. Alyssa worked both as a middle school ESOL teacher and as a program administrator in Adult Basic Education.   But, her veganism reminded her that she’s not just about humans.   So, in 2017, after some intensive coaching, Alyssa gathered her courage and left her full-time job in education.   This leap landed her at a farmed animal sanctuary and The Last Pig. Following her passion, talent, and empathetic nature led her to create the perfect role for herself.  As a Certified Professional Co-Active Coach (CPCC), she gets to help animals by supporting the humans who serve them!  In this episode, Alyssa and I get into the philosophy of veganism and discuss a specific idea called Effective Altruism, we also discuss how we each approach spreading the vegan message, the cats with whom we live, farmed animal sanctuaries, Alyssa’s coaching practice, and of course hummus.  To connect with Alyssa: Visit her website at www.rootedrise.com www.linkedin.com/in/alyssa-almond-ⓥ https://www.facebook.com/rootedrise/ https://www.instagram.com/rootedrisecoaching/ Mentioned in this episode: Peter Singer Effective Altruism/The Life You Can Save A Well Fed World Farm Sanctuary To connect with me: Follow me on Facebook and Instagram @didyoubringthehummus Join my mailing list and get 3 free recipes just for signing up! https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/3recipepdf Join my Podcast Fan Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/didyoubringthehummus/ Book a free 30 minute call with me: https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/book-online To be a guest on the podcast: https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/beaguest ©2023 Kimberly Winters - Did You Bring the Hummus LLC Theme Song ©2020 JP Winters ⁠@musicbyjpw⁠

Today, I am joined by vegan restaurant owner, Nathaly Posso Londono. Growing up in Colombia, it wasn’t always easy being the vegan kid but that didn’t stop Nathaly. Vegan since she was 7, inspired and led by her mom after one of Nathaly’s siblings became sick from eating animal products, Nathaly grew up with a strong sense of what is right and wrong and an even stronger sense of who she is. She thanks god every day that her mom choose this lifestyle for her family and she thanks her mom for teaching her to love all animals and nature.  Nathaly is now the proud owner of Red’s Leaf Cafe, where she brings her knowledge and experience of her 33 years as a vegan to the dishes she prepares every day.  To connect with Nathaly: Visit her website: https://redsleafcafe.com/ Follow her on Instagram: @reds_leaf_cafe Mentioned in this episode: Newark Animal Save: https://www.instagram.com/newarkanimalsave/ To connect with me: Follow me on Facebook and Instagram @didyoubringthehummus Join my mailing list and get 3 free recipes just for signing up! https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/3recipepdf Join my Podcast Fan Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/didyoubringthehummus/ Book a free 30 minute call with me: https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/book-online To be a guest on the podcast: https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/beaguest ©2023 Kimberly Winters - Did You Bring the Hummus LLC Theme Song ©2020 JP Winters ⁠@musicbyjpw⁠

Season 4!! I can't believe it! For those who have been waiting for the return of this podcast, thank you for being here and hanging out with me. A big welcome to those new here, it's a fun, safe, space where we talk about all things vegan.

Final episode of Season 3! Listen through the end so you don't miss my thank you message to my listeners and my guests. Thank you all so much!!I'll be back with Season 4 later this year! Today, I am joined by Food Inclusivity Mentor and Expert, Heather Landex. Heather has worked in hospitality, restaurants & food businesses for 20 years, qualified in Environmental Health & specialized in food safety for 10 years. She has advised & trained 1000s of food professionals in several countries, auditing/inspecting restaurants & hotels. The highlights of her career include the 2012 Olympics, Michelin-starred restaurants & some of the world's biggest franchises. Vegan since early 2019 & around 6 months later suffered a spontaneous, serious allergic reaction in a hotel on a work trip. Let's just say she has naturally specialized in food inclusivity. Most businesses are already compliant in a food safety sense but they do not recognize how many people with dietary preferences are their potential customers and they are turning them away. There's 20-40% of the population left out of eating out. Heather mentors food & hospitality professionals to attract & serve more customers, reduce risk & liability & ultimately earn more money. In addition to a great discussion on food allergens and how patrons can be safe when dining out as well as the efforts restaurants and hotels can make to be more inclusive, Heather and I also discuss our mutual love for public speaking and Toastmasters, which we both believe has the ability to help make the vegan movement louder and more effective.  To connect with Heather: Website (free resources) - https://freeresources.heatherlandex.comLinkedIn https://linkedin.com/in/heatherlandex Instagram, Facebook, & Tik Tok: @heatherlandex To purchase Heather's book: https://book.heatherlandex.com Toastmasters: https://www.toastmasters.org/ To connect with me: Join my Podcast Fan Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/didyoubringthehummus/ Book a free 30 minute call with me: https://www.didyoubringthehummus.com/book-onlineWho wants to beta test a 4 week group program with me?
