  • I thought, “Well, I could talk to you for four hours, Ella, about a carrot… every bit of nutrition, it's energetic quality, all of it. And then you leave me and you still don't know how to cook that carrot. I gave you nothing. But if I could do both, then I'm doing something.” - Christina Pirello

    Get ready for a super fun and inspiring episode, because today we’re cooking up some serious compassion with the fabulous Christina Pirello! Christina is not only the Emmy award winning host of 'Christina Cooks' vegan activist, bestselling author, gym rat and food lover, environmental activist and educator about wellness.

    Christina is not just any chef though — she’s a culinary wizard from Philly, and she’s a total firecracker both in and out of the kitchen!

    We dive into her wild vegan culinary adventures across the globe and get all the juicy details about her plant-based cooking course. Spoiler alert: no butter, eggs, or white flour allowed! Christina shares some seriously inspiring stories, like one of her students who totally rocked the vegan cooking game while embracing Chinese medicine principles.

    But that’s not all—meet a couple who are living proof that love and global sustainability go hand in hand. Their journey is a rollercoaster, from kicking cancer to the curb at a young age to getting real about climate change. And if you think recycling is boring, wait till you hear how the Italian system turned it into a lifestyle!

    We also chat about handling those tricky convos about climate change with humor and empathy, plus why Qigong and meditation might just be your new best friends. And oh, the difference between American and Italian lifestyles? Let’s just say the Italians know how to live it up and keep it balanced.

    We wrap up with a heartwarming reminder that life is short, so let’s spread positivity, support each other, and savor every moment. So, what are you waiting for? Hit play and let’s get cooking with compassion!

  • I thought, “You know, I need another adventure,” and I was worried it was going to ruin my career. But it turned out to actually be very good for my acting career. Because after you come off a series like Baywatch, everyone thinks you're just incompetent and dumb and I don't know, they just don't give you any credit for anything. And then you go do an Ironman. -Alexandra Paul

    In today’s encore episode, we dive deep into the life and mission of Alexandra Paul, beyond the accolades, discovering who actress Alexandra Paul is at her core and what drives her.

    Alexandra shares her incredible story of deciding in 6th grade to remain child-free by choice and how that decision has shaped her activism, including her TEDx talk on overpopulation—a topic she passionately believes needs more attention.

    We discuss her transformation to vegetarianism at 14, inspired by Diet for a Small Planet, and how a year between high school and college sparked her love for acting, leading to a career where she stood firm in her ethics, refusing to wear fur or use makeup tested on animals.

    She also opens up about her battle with an eating disorder during her teens and early 20s, her fears around restricting dairy, and the profound moment at 47 when she went vegan and her heart “cracked open,” seeing the injustices of the world more clearly.

    We touch on her direct action activism, where Alexandra literally takes a stand—physically—for her beliefs, having been arrested over 25 times. She discusses the privileges that allow her to engage in civil disobedience, her training in it, and some of the experiences that have stood out, including moments of fear and claustrophobia.

    This conversation is rich with reflections on activism, personal growth, and the ongoing journey of recovery from bulimia.

    Alexandra’s story is not just about overcoming challenges—it’s a powerful reminder of how our choices, big and small, can shape a better world. You won’t want to miss this one!

  • When I was pronounced dead, I knew it, not because they said it, but because all of those emotions were gone. I only felt peace, I had a deeper understanding and I was so hyper aware and it was like that's me, but I'm me and I'm just an energy, I'm just a presence. - Elayna Fernandez

    Have you experienced the transformative power of pain?

    Today’s episode is extra special… The extraordinary experience that my guest, Elayna Fernandez shares, from her upbringing in the slums of the Dominican Republic, to being kidnapped and assaulted, to literally dying in a terrible accident, to her incredible rise to the top as a world-renowned speaker, coach, and entrepreneur, are insanely inspiring.

    As a 4x TEDx Speaker, TEDx Organizer, and Certified Speaker Coach, Elayna is a bestselling author, international keynote speaker, and award-winning storyteller who was named one of the 125 Top Impactful Leaders to Know worldwide by SUCCESS Magazine and has been sponsored by over 500 brands.

    I personally stumbled upon Elayna, who also happens to be vegan, when I was seeking support to take my own professional speaking career to the next level, and I hired her as a coach, which was one of the best decisions I've ever made.

    In this episode, Elayna guides us through the philosophy of harnessing pain as a catalyst for growth, sharing her own remarkable journey to highlight how adversity can lead to profound positivity.

    In a heartfelt narrative, we explore the significance of compassion, the alchemy of transforming pain into possibility, and the importance of setting bold visions for a future filled with love and abundance.

    Elayna's story is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, from her early struggles to her current influence as a global thought leader.

    Wrapping up this inspiring conversation, we reflect on how personal tragedies can redefine our sense of self-worth and purpose. Through the creation of the Positive Mom brand and the values Elayna strives to impart to my children, she underscores the importance of embracing our painful experiences to forge a path of growth for ourselves and for future generations.

  • Religion, in its pure sense is to reconnect, in this sense, humankind to the transcendent. So I think it's actually a positive word, but you have to reclaim it, much like the LGBTQ plus community has taught us to reclaim the word queer, which can be a very positive word if understood correctly. So in that sense, I think veganism can be religious in that positive sense. But when religion becomes about erecting unnecessary walls and drawing lines with those walls regarding who is in and who is out, that's when it becomes problematic. -Stevan Mirkovich

    Embarking on a plant-based journey can be as transformative as it is challenging, something Stevan Mirkovich knows all too well.

    Stevan is co-owner of Planted Expo, a plant-based trade show, platform, and network designed to support you, no matter where you are on your plant-based journey.

    Join me for this intimate conversation with Stevan, where we peel back the layers of his own transformation, revealing the heart and soul behind choosing a life nourished by plants.

    We explore the profound impact of our relationship with food, the quiet revolution in our kitchens, and the way our plates can reflect our deepest values. It's not just about what we eat; it's the stories, the culture, and the love that simmer in every bite.

    Steven generously shares his complex and evolving relationship with food and his body, including his profound weight-loss journey, the endlessly rewarding adventure of fatherhood, veganism, and how he came to embrace a more mindful approach to eating and wellness.

    Our discussion then turns to the philosophy of veganism, challenging the notion that it should be anything less than a progressive journey. With empathy at its core, veganism, as Steven describes, is akin to laying down walls to pave a path toward unity and understanding, leaving dogmatic approaches and exclusion behind.

    We invite you to join us at one of the upcoming three epic Planted Expo events coming up in 2024, two of which I'll be speaking at (Toronto and Seattle).

  • I ended up getting on [The Great American Baking Show] which was crazy... went over to London and shot for six weeks and just had the time of my life. When I got home I was like, I don't want to go back to doing hair. I feel like this is my actual calling, like this is what I should be doing. And it was from that moment on that I kind of started transitioning my hair clients into food clients. - Chris Tucker

    Join us on a delectable journey with Chris Tucker, the vegan baking maverick who whisked his way from hairstyling to the heart of the culinary scene.

  • I heard a lyric from a song the other day... that said, "There's no one more thankful to sit at a table than the one who best remembers hunger's pain." And so when these hard times come and these moments, it really is like a gut punch. But then you look back and it just makes you appreciate things going forward. - Shane Martin

    When Shane Martin decided to swap his Southern comfort food for kale and quinoa, he didn't just change his diet to plant-based —he transformed his life.

    In our heartwarming conversation, Shane takes us through his journey of self-discovery, from his days as a high school athlete to becoming a beacon for plant-based living with his Shane and Simple brand and the Real Men Eat Plants podcast. His tales are filled with authenticity and humor, particularly when he reminisces about our zany first encounter during a food demo that perfectly captured the beautiful chaos of transition.

    This episode isn't just about food or plant-based diets and weight loss; it's about finding harmony in the unexpected symphony of life. Shane, an ex-musician, strings together his experience with weight gain, personal loss, and career shifts, showing us that it's possible to compose a new life score, no matter the setbacks.

    His stories offer a candid glimpse into the emotional challenges he faced and the resilience it took to embrace a healthier, plant-based lifestyle for himself and his family. Our chat is sure to strike a chord with anyone who's ever had to pick up a different tune and learn to play along.

    We wrap up with a generous helping of inspiration as Shane shares the evolution of his blog, from a simple spark of encouragement to a full-blown career that feeds not just the stomach but the soul. He reminds us that sometimes, the most delectable recipes come from the simple ingredients of vulnerability and transparency.

    As Shane stirs the pot of his plant-based wisdom, listeners are bound to feel a dash of motivation to cook up their own changes, whether in the kitchen or in life.

    So grab a snack, and join us for an episode that's as nourishing for the mind as it is for the body.

  • At the end of the day, if you are not happy, if you don't have pleasure, if you don't have play and if you're not passionate about something, the number [of dollars] in your bank account doesn't really mean so much. - Mahala Nirvano

    I have the wish for you, Rise & Thrive listener...

    My wish is that you have a friend in your life that is as full of life and love as my dear friend, and today’s guest, Mahala Nirvano.

    Mahala a leader in the vegan and tantra communities, and in this episode we explore her insights on tantric practices, offering you a glimpse into a life enriched with profound pleasure and spiritual connection, and revealing how these ancient teachings can elevate our everyday experience.

    Embarking on a vegan path intertwines seamlessly with the spiritual essence of Tantra. This heart-to-heart with Mahala isn't just about plant-based diets or animal compassion; it's about the intuitive harmony that arises when we listen to our inner guide and nature's rhythm.

    We share tales of transformation, both personal and collected from our community, spotlighting the significant strides made when we align with principles of kindness and awareness. We also venture into discussions about self-acceptance and aging with grace, areas where society often imposes its harsh standards.

    Mahala gifts us practical applications of Tantra for everyday living, from breathwork to sacred tools, encouraging us to honor our divine essence and navigate life's complexities with a sense of pleasure and self-love.

    We also discuss the Pleasure Path, a women's mentorship container for channeling an abundance of joy, love, and pleasure (learn more HERE).


    This conversation is an open invitation to awaken love within yourself and carry forward the inspiration to touch lives and embrace conscious living.

    I invite you to listen to discover these transformative insights that promise to foster your journey towards a life of authentic joy and compassion!

    I'm down at least two sizes and it feels really good because I did it in a way that was healthier. I was full and eating normally and I worked out. So not only do my clothes not fit, but I also feel really strong and really light... and my numbers, like my cholesterol, are better in three months. - Jen Whorton

    This is an incredibly inspiring episode featuring one of my most recent coaching program graduates, Jen Whorton, who, in just 3 short months, experienced extraordinary shifts in not only the size and shape of her body, but also in how she moves through the world, to the point that we joke that her friends are not going to believe it’s her talking on this podcast.

    I felt called to invite her to come on the show and share about her journey, with the intention of helping others who are unhappy with their body, who feel out of control when it comes to consistently eating healthfully, who are sick and tired of dieting and quick-fix-type programs out there making promises that lead to 80-90% of people gaining all the weight they lost back, and who are ready to align their lifestyle with true health and finally find FREEDOM.

    It's been such a privileged to play a role in Jen's metamorphosis that took her from the shackles of emotional eating to the liberation of a plant-based lifestyle. Her story is nothing short of awe-inspiring and it exemplifies how changing our relationship with food isn't just about what we eat, but why and how we eat.

    It's been an emotional voyage, marked by the trials of disordered eating and the joy of finding peace in aligning values with actions. Jen's story isn’t just about weight; it's about unwrapping the layers of self-love and kindness that have been buried under years of struggle. It's clear that the journey to well-being is about more than just the physical—it's a holistic path paved with mindfulness, creativity, and an open heart to the world around us.

    Yes, I'm a humanitarian, but I'm also a pragmatic spiritualist. I'm also a fan of MMA and billiards and all types of sports. I'm also a vegan chef, and an author. I'm more than [someone who] promotes the idea of food being a medium to connect with our divine nature and to connect with people on a very deep spiritual level... So that's one of the challenges I've always had is how to define myself. - Paul Rodney Turner

    Have you ever considered how a simple meal can speak volumes, transcending languages and borders?

    Director of Food for Life Global, Paul Rodney Turner, joins us to unravel the fascinating story of food as a universal language and its power to connect us beyond words. His own journey from monkhood to leading a global non-profit serves as a testament to food's ability to bring people together, nourish the soul, and foster unity across diversities.

    Our conversation with Paul dives deep into the philosophy of food yoga, revealing how intentional cooking and eating can be a form of spiritual practice that enriches our lives. We learn about the transformative experience of preparing food with love, the spiritual harmony achievable through a plant-based lifestyle, and how such acts create a ripple effect of compassion and mindfulness. This episode is a celebration of the sacredness embedded in the culinary arts and the profound impact it can have on our well-being and sense of community.

    Together, we delve into a world where spirituality meets everyday life, and where each bite we take can be an act of love and connection. Join us on this journey of discovery and make your meals a bridge to a more conscious and compassionate existence.

  • [Pet food] is a really interesting, wacky industry.
    -Caroline Buck

    What if your dog's diet could do more than just keep them healthy but also help save the planet? That's one of the intriguing questions we're exploring today with our guest, Caroline Buck, the co-founder and CMO of Petaluma, a company that's shaking up the pet food industry with sustainable, organic, plant-based options.

    Caroline takes us on her journey of founding Petaluma, a company that's turning the pet food industry on its head with healthy, organic, plant-based options for dogs.

    We talk about the challenges they faced marketing a vegan pet food brand in an industry filled with unfounded claims and delve into the fascinating process of selecting organic ingredients for their product.

    We chat about how Caroline's personal transition to a plant-based diet and her passion for animals, combined with her husband's experience in pet nutrition, shaped this unique venture that's not just about feeding dogs, but also about saving the planet.

    Caroline also shares heartwarming tales of her pet family, which includes two rescue dogs, Leo and Oscar, and the amazing chickens she adopted during the pandemic. These stories form the backbone of her mission to create a better world for animals.

    Finally, we get candid about common misconceptions about dog diets, the importance of transparency in pet food ingredients, and the inspirational drive behind the Petaluma brand.

    This episode is a treat for animal lovers, eco-conscious pet owners, or anyone interested in the revolutionary world of sustainable pet nutrition. Don't miss out on this heartwarming, enlightening conversation!

  • My journey started four years ago when I stopped drinking although I really started down the rabbit hole two years ago and I started to learn about frequency, vibration and all the limits the matrix imposes. - Quinn Donahue


    I am excited to share today’s episode, which is by far the most intimate episode to date, given that I get to introduce you to the extraordinary human being whom I’m calling, my “person” (though I suppose it’s interchangeable with partner, significant other, boyfriend, beau). I’m not that into labels.

    What I am into is connection, love, respect, compassion, health, intimacy, intuition, peace, freedom, growth, and discovering the things I don’t know I don’t know. And I feel like those are all components of our relationship, and reasons why having him on this show is in total alignment. And guess what? He has a name! It’s Quinn Donahue.

    Quinn has a fascinating life story to share. He lives in Austin, Texas, where he was born and raised. He has had a life-long passion for music, which is the industry in which he built his career.

    It was four years ago when he made a dramatic shift from the stereotypical music business kind of lifestyle... partying, alcohol, drugs, cigarettes... to doing yoga daily and following a spiritual path of self-discovery and growth. A year ago he felt called to further his health and embody compassion for all living beings by adopting a plant-based lifestyle and going vegan… another huge shift, given that he was a hunter in his past!

    In this introductory episode we tell you all about our unique love story that blossomed from a plant-based/vegan dating app.

    Our journey is a testament to the power that comes from approaching the world with profound curiosity.

    This episode is also about exploring our spiritual connection and how the Universe aligned to bring us together. We unravel the exciting intersection of science and spirituality from our mutual fascination with Quantum mechanics.

    Our goal for these episodes is to have raw and organic discussions on various holistic health-related topics that will leave you with profound insights and help you make powerful shifts and take courageous actions that are aligned with becoming the best version of yourself!

    Have you ever wondered about the transformative power of a plant-based lifestyle? What if you could tune into your body's natural rhythm, achieve an enviable flow state, and make a positive impact on the world all at once?

    Join me, Ella Magers, on this enriching journey where we explore the vegan way of life with Sherri Johnson and Paige Parsons-Roache, the remarkable duo behind the popular lifestyle brand, Plant-Based in the Burbs.

    In this episode, we shed light on Sherri and Paige's inspiring work, including their fascinating Let's Chat show on the global streaming network Unchained TV, and the joy they spread through their YouTube channel. We delve into the duo's journey, their passion for leading by example, and how they inspire others to embrace plant-based eating. This enlightening talk also offers a sneak peek into my monthly newsletter, the Way, and the unique power of mindful word choices.

    Topping off the conversation, we discuss the challenges and triumphs of transitioning to veganism, and the importance of mindful eating. We look at how food plays a crucial role in our cultural and familial traditions, and how our dietary choices impact our bodies, animals, and our planet. We also explore how vegan meals can be made affordable for all.

    So join us as we celebrate the joys of healthy, sustainable living, and take a step towards a happier, healthier you!

  • The opposite of addiction is not sobriety… it’s connection. -Mike Brcic

    I’m thrilled to share what turned out to be a fascinating and deeply meaningful discussion with community-builder and serial entrepreneur by nature, Mike Brcic.

    Mike is passionate about helping entrepreneurs live inspired, more connected lives, and our conversation was focused on the themes of the role of human connection in human health and our ability to thrive.

    He's traveled to and spent time with locals in some of the remotest places on earth, from the nomadic Kazakhs of western Mongolia to the Batwa forest people of Bwindi Impenetrable Forest in Uganda. In the process he's learned a thing or two about how to live a meaningful human life.

    We talk in depth about his events and adventure retreats around the world with Wayfinders, the business Mike created to help entrepreneurs find the tribe and the support they need to achieve great things and personal fulfillment.

    We also cover his personal journey, including his own struggle through periods of depression.

    Mike is a passionate speaker on many topics related to entrepreneurship, community building, and mental health. Via his Substack channel, he shares tips and resources about human connection and how to live a more deeply connected life.

    Enjoy!

    I've always been a truth seeker… which is at the core of everything I do. And so winning the Ultimate Fighter and producing The Game Changers are really manifestations of that deep desire to find out the truth. I'm honestly not really sure where that comes from. I know I hate being lied to. There are a lot of correlations actually, between martial arts - there's a lot of BSS in the martial arts world, people teaching stuff that doesn't work - And I feel it's the same in the diet space… teaching all these diets that just aren't based on the evidence. - James Wilks

    I have a ton of respect and admiration for today’s special guest, not only because of all that he’s accomplished in his life and career… but also because of the truth-seeker he is and his commitment doing everything in his power to make sure people across the globe also have access to the truth when it comes to nutrition, plant-based advocacy and sustainability.

    His name is James Wilks and most people know him as the producer and narrator of The Game Changers: the critically-acclaimed documentary about the dramatic rise of plant-based eating in professional sports.

    James is an elite combatives instructor and winner of The Ultimate Fighter. We go places in this interview that I haven’t heard him go during other interviews, exploring the man behind the accolades, an update on Game Changers 2, and a look Into his latest venture as the CEO of FȲTA: A line of delicious, convenient plant-based protein products designed to optimize athletic performance, health, and environmental sustainability.

    For me, part of joy comes with a sense of wonder. So it's not just about feeling good. I think it's about feeling awe and feeling wonder and being open and being surprised, and being open to being surprised. So I think it's that wonder piece that grounds happiness and creates the joy. - Colleen Patrick-Goudreau

    Today’s guest is one of my favorite humans on the planet, and someone with whom I feel deeply aligned and connected.

    Her name is Colleen Patrick-Goudreau, and I interviewed her about 2 years ago on The Vegan Life Coach Podcast. What we talked about on that show is quite different from the conversation we had for this show, and I can say with total confidence that both conversations are extraordinarily thought-provoking and inspirational!

    A few of the topics we cover:

    The difference between joy, pleasure, and happiness and how to achieve a life you loveHow Colleen defines holistic wellness and how we can all get/stay on the path to holistic healthColleen’s personal and professional journey as related to her intrinsic drive to live a meaningful lifeIncredible stories about joyful vegan travel across the globe

    A little more about Colleen…. She is a recognized expert and thought leader on the culinary, social, ethical, and practical aspects of living compassionately and healthfully, she is an award-winning author of seven books. Colleen is an acclaimed speaker and host of the inspiring podcast, “Food for Thought” and a spin-off podcast, “Animalogy,” which is also the title of her TEDx talk. She co-founded the political action committee East Bay Animal PAC to work with government officials on animal issues in the San Francisco Bay Area, and she also hosts sustainable vegan trips around the world.

    “My dollar is my vote. I tell my students that every day when they feel helpless. You're not! Everything you purchase, everything you consume, everything you use... That is your contribution to society. And I think when you make that choice every day, every moment, leading with someone else being at the forefront of your decisions. That's a selfless life. That is a life that I am proud to be a part of, because I feel like we are on the right side of history.” -Shabnam Islam

    I’m especially excited to be sharing today’s episode with you, because I got to meet my guest, Shabnam Islam, in person for the first time just a few months ago at the Vegan Women’s Summit where she was speaking. And it seems crazy that we hadn’t met, because as you’ll hear (or see if you’re watching on YouTube), we get on like we’ve known each other for years which makes for a super fun and deep conversation.

    Shabnam is a global health educator and first-generation Bangladeshi-American vegan, a Professor of Kinesiology, Clinical Exercise Physiologist, television host, and spokesperson for health-based projects across the country.
