What is the "truth"? What things in life truly matters? How do we learn to love ourselves and our bodies and how to de get in touch with that inner voice we know is always there?In today's episode of change, we chat with Katina, a 20-something-year-old blogger and inspiration-seeker who just moved to San Fransisco from New York. We talk about finding our place in the grown-up world, about trusting our gut and dealing with doubt, as well as the importance of choosing our environment and the people who surround us. We talk about the life of a control freak (both guilty), how to have a happy relationship with your significant other and also; how to challenge ourselves when things are hard.This is definitely a very personal conversation when both Katina and I share a lot of our own experiences in our career paths and life, so I hope that you will find your own way to relate.

This is a fun and empowering talk with ex-super model and best-selling author Dawn Gallagher. We find ourselves in the heart of Soho where we have a deep conversation about beauty, society, and how to make your life the best it can possible be. Dawn shares her story of when she moved to New York and was thrown into the modeling world at the age of 16, and how she had to deal with people's opinion of "not being smart enough" or not having a "proper degree". But how, which she realizes now looking back at it all, life turned out exactly the way she always wanted it to be. Dawn Gallagher is a former supermodel, best selling author, blogger, beauty expert, television host and a mom. She’s a veteran of the beauty business for over 25 years and discovered years ago that taking care of yourself is not self-indulgent, but can only do good. Dawns mission today is to empower and inspire women and men to look and feel their best at any age.

What's the real deal about protein? How much does one actually need per day and can we get enough from only eating plants? According Marc Wood, the nightclub boss who decided to go vegan 6 years ago and who started doing Triathlons at age 48, you absolutely can. He's now also a certified nutrition health coach guiding people at the gym how to build muscles and stay healthy on a plant-based diet and lifestyle. Listen to find out why Marc found the vegan route to be an easy choice and learn why plant-based proteins are the future. Marc stopped eating meat at age 23 when he went to see an animal rights convention in Earls Court, London, where he for the first time became aware of the suffering and cruelty animals are subjected to. After eventually meeting a vegan friend several years later who educated him on the dangers of dairy and the cruelty that industry, it was an easy step to skip the T in vegetarian and go fully vegan. From volunteering at the Hospice of New York, Marc witnessed people suffering from a lot of diseases, which got him thinking about why so many people in the western world die from cancers and heart-related problems. He began educating himself on the causes of such diseases and today he's a certified Family Health Coach and helps others by going into their homes and giving lessons on how to cook tasty and nutritious plant-based meals.

Want to learn how to make chocolate ice-cream out of sweet potatoes? Then tune into this fun episode with New York model and Vegan Chef Leo Rusanov. As we share the floor in his Harlem apartment we talk about both of our journeys to a plant-based life; how they started, what changes we went through and how it made us feel. We kill some typical "vegan myths" and Leo shares why he at first was afraid of the term "vegan". Are you curious about changing to a plant-based diet but don't really know how? Then I hope this episode can help you get that journey started! Leo is a Russian guy who moved to New York six years ago. When he about 16 months ago (by accident, almost) got introduced to the plant-based kitchen when assisting a chef, he found himself introduced to a whole new world. He got to eat all she prepared and was amazed by how good vegan food could be, and he thought to himself "why should I ever need to eat anything else?" In other words, Leo became vegan simply because he loved the food so much! But being a model and a man, of course, he struggled with some of the doubt that everyone asks themselves. Will I get enough protein? Will I lose a lot of weight? Will I be able to find enough things to eat? Well, listen to find out... Instagram: @VeganChefLeo Facts from the Episode: One thing that vegans might be lacking is B12, and it's essential that you make sure that you get enough. Most groceries of lifestyle stores carry B12 supplements and one pill a day usually makes it (be careful not to buy the ones with gelatine in them though - NOT VEGAN!) There's also one other life-saver out there and it's called Nutritional Yeast - cheesy in its flavor and goes with lot's of food!

Would you ever wear roadkill? What does it mean to vote with your wallet? Could it actually be fun to help save the world? In today’s talk with sustainable fashionista Cora Hilts, we put end to some confusion that is Ethical and Sustainable fashion. I mean, what is really the difference between recycled, upcycled and something that’s sustainably made? What does it mean that a piece of clothing is organic?? Is vintage is in our out and is it ok to claim yourself the title of a hero?WHO IS CORA?Cora Hilts who is one of the co-founders of British fashion store RêveEnVerte – a hip and trendy place for consuming ethical and sustainable fashion online. She founded the company together with her partner Natasha four years ago, in response to the evolving nature of contemporary style, something they both felt to be a bit too consumptive and trend-based for their taste.
