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!

Ep. 12 - Zero-Waste Vegan
For many of us, plant-based eating has been an introduction to a bigger shift of living more consciously. Conscious of how our decisions impact not only our health, but the health of our planet and all of its inhabitants. That’s why we’ve been dying to do an episode about creating less waste! And who better to talk about it than someone who’s inspired both of us to go further down the path of zero-waste consciousness: Colleen Patrick-Goudreau!
