We dream of offering the eco-conscious market a permanent gathering space with a zero-waste vegan cafe, wellness events, and our vintage shop. It is our ultimate goal to be a visible environment of active change in Northeast Ohio. We dream of a space that honors our local history, highlights vegan cuisine, and attracts visitors from all walks of their green journey. We often greet our listeners as our “Green Team”. Let’s face it, we all want to be a part of a supportive team. The Love the Green Life Wellness Center, Cafe and Vintage Shop will be our headquarters.

    Today we are sharing a really special episode with you all! We are sharing one of our Plant Power client office hours with you! This question that a client had was really good and relevant, so we thought we would share it here for everyone! Plant Power is our 13 week lifestyle program that teaches goals, habits, meal planning like a pro, how to read labels, learn about ingredients, and what to cook for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks. We created this course in a way that makes sense for busy families and to fit into their daily lives. Our clients get 2- 1:1 coaching calls from us, bi-weekly office hours to receive help and feedback on their personal journey and what they are working on, as well as a membership to a community group to ask questions and share with others on the same journey. In today's office hours, we are discussing how to stay on track in the summer. We discuss eating out at restaurants, BBQ's and picnics, vacationing and just how to stay motivated to eat healthy and continue to achieve your goals, while not missing out on the fun of summer! Hope this episode speaks to you in your current season. We would love to work with you! Head to lovethegreenlife.org/plantpower to learn all about the program and to fill out your interest form.

    66. The Conscious Consumer
    Jun 17 2022
    Today's episode is a little change up! You are going to hear a conversation Natalie had with ecommerce consultant, Jason Shepherd. Natalie had the ability to be a guest on his podcast The Real Heroes of Ecommerce and discusses what it means to be a conscious consumer. All of us here at Love the Green Life have different levels of conscious consumerism. We are pretty careful about the things we purchase and buy and as a 100% women owned nonprofit organization, almost all of us as women are the main buyers of stuff for our homes. We hope to debunk some myths as to what a conscious consumer looks like and is portrayed and hope to push your ideal consumer view. Conscious consumers are the consumers of the future. We are the people who are going to be making the decisions that drive the commerce in our country. We need to vote with what we put in our grocery carts. Hopefully you will gain some insight from this episode. Head over to Jason's podcast, The Real Heroes of Ecommerce on instagram @therealheroesofecommerce and take a listen! If you need help with meal planning and grocery shopping, we would love to assist you and give you the tools you need to be a conscious consumer! Head to lovethegreenlife.org/plantpower

    Fashionable and Sustainable Ways To Dress ENCORE
    May 27 2022

    We are bringing you a favorite episode that we did over a year ago. This is perfect to listen to if you are new to the podcast or to review since there was so much information. This time of year you are changing over your closet from Winter to Summer and you can do it in a more eco-friendly way.

    With over 7 billion people in the world, we all have one thing in common. Every day we all get dressed. The struggle to find fashionable items to wear while supporting something that follows your personal ethics and morals can seem like a challenge. In this episode we share what to look for when selecting clothes and accessories and how to support the companies that are doing the right thing for the environment and our future generations. We discuss Fair Trade, B Corp, Cruelty Free, Vegan, Sustainable Practices and GOTS.
