Hey Change Podcast

Have you ever felt like the life you built for yourself wasn’t really what you thought it would be? Or have you maybe felt too pushed by society and expectations - both your own and others - to follow a certain path even though deep inside you know you’d rather do something else? And if so, have you ever considered just saying “heck with this” and go for it? I know, it can seem super scary, but in this talk with Sinead Bovell, the top of her class business student who completely switched gears and decided to do her own thing, we talk about what it means to trust your intuition and follow your heart. Sinead is all about building that life for yourself that you are meant to live and to do the work you’re put on this earth to do, and so she started her own business to be able to educate and inspire other millennials to follow their own dreams. She’s the model who talks tech, the girl boss who gets invited to attend meetings at the UN and hang out with presidents at Bloombergs Business Forum, and one of the most earth-bound and humble humans I’ve ever met. I’m super excited to share this talk with you guys, so get ready to feel inspired! Follow Sinead:Instagram: @SineadBovellWAYE: www.wayetalks.comWAYE IG: @waye_wayetalksPodcast Sources:Website: www.heychange.netIG: @heychange_podcastHost IG: @AnneThereseBengtssonWebsite: www.heychangepodcast.comFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heychange_podcast/Host: https://www.instagram.com/annetheresegennari/Hosted by The Climate Optimist: https://www.theclimateoptimist.com/Music produced by Jackson Whalan Hosted on Acast.

Did you know that one in five fruits and vegetables are considered too ugly for grocery stores, meaning that billions of pounds of fresh fruits and veggies every year never make it to a store? And more so, that actually 40 % of all food that is produced gets thrown away? From an environmental point of view, the food we waste is responsible for roughly 8 percent of all global emissions. YIKES! But, like with any alarming facts like these, there’s room for positivity and solutions. In this episode, get ready to learn a thing or two about food; how you can get better at making the most of what you buy, how to make sure you don’t shop too much in the first place, and how to support ways that those “ugly” produces find a home. According to Project Drawdown (scientific research led by Paul Hawken), reducing food waste is number 3 on the list of the 100 most efficient ways of reducing global warming, so step up your game and get to action with your food! Reilly Brock is a content manager for Imperfect Produce, and amazing company that sources ugly and surplus fruits and vegetables that would be thrown away, and deliver them to people’s doors.

In today’s episode with vegan model and social influencer Brad we talk a lot about (plant-based) foods, of course, but even more so about the impact food has on us and Planet Earth. Brad shares his story about growing up an unhealthy, lost, and chubby kid and how he one day decided to take matters in his own hands and start loosing weight. The reason? Simple, he wanted to attract that pretty girl in school! But the path it lead him down had a much greater impact on his life than he first might have thought. What we’ll cover today is the importance of self-empowerment and of choosing a lifestyle that will make you both feel and look good. We talk about how what might seem like vain reasons at first, will actually catalyze you into a new version of yourself - a self-loving, self-empowered and humble you, who will one day be the one who helps and empowers others. Brad also gives his best advice on how to take on something as scary as going plant-based, and how it’s all about a marathon and not a sprint. Brad is a former chubby and timid kid turned fit international male model represented throughout the US. His relationship with food has greatly impacted his life from a young age and in 2017, Brad decided to start weaning himself off meat as a way to find inner peace with the world around him. Today, Brad is purely plant based and shares his story and expertise to inspire others to obtain a physically, mentally, and spiritually healthier life. Read Brad's Ebook for free: https://www.bradleyjarryd.com/resources/ Instagram: @The_Bradass Stay connected, say hi!Website: www.heychange.netIG: @HeyChange_PodcastHost: @AnneThereseBengtssonWebsite: www.heychangepodcast.comFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/heychange_podcast/Host: https://www.instagram.com/annetheresegennari/Hosted by The Climate Optimist: https://www.theclimateoptimist.com/Music produced by Jackson Whalan Hosted on Acast.
