"Let the fears that come in, because of course they do. They do for all of us. Kind of let that fear ride, give it a chance to unfold and see what happens."
-Dotsie Bausch
I was flying high for quite some time following the recording of my discussion with Dotsie, a human who I have SO much respect and admiration for. I’m confident you’ll agree when I say that her inner light shines bright, her energy is truly magnetic, her story is inspiring, and her message is empowering.
What does it take to stand on the Olympic podium? Let our guest, Dotsie Bausch, a former professional cyclist and now a passionate plant-based advocate, take you on her inspiring journey. From battling life-threatening eating disorders and drug addiction to becoming an Olympic medalist, Dotsie shares her struggle, resilience, and her belief in a plant-based lifestyle. Step into her world as we discuss her upcoming campaign with her non-profit, Switch for Good, which challenges the conventional association of milk as a symbol of power.
Imagine overcoming a severe eating disorder by the sheer power of self-discipline. Dotsie did exactly that, as she shares how she managed her food intake and transitioned to a plant-based diet against all odds. We explore the Blue Dot system, a meditation technique that aided our guest in managing triggers and making positive choices. As Dotsie shares her journey of adopting a plant-based diet, she details the challenges she faced, the impact it had on her as an Olympic athlete, and the role of self-discipline in overcoming them.
But what's it like being an ethical vegan in today's world? As we delve deeper into her world, we discuss the roadblocks and the constant learning it entails while promoting veganism. We touch upon the current political climate's impact on the vegan movement and the continuous struggle for change. The discussion concludes with Dotsie's commitment to promoting a plant-based lifestyle, holistic health, and compassion for all beings. This high-vibe episode will leave you pondering on the power of self-discipline, the potential of plant-based eating, and th

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.
In this candid conversation, Chris unveils his transformation, sharing stories of his grandmother's influence, the rush of competing on The Great American Baking Show, and the birth of 'Betta with Butter'.
His personal anecdotes extend beyond the kitchen, touching on his path to veganism and the importance of embracing one's true self.
This episode is a feast for the ears, seasoned with tips for veganizing desserts and Chris's adventures from his TV debut to crafting plant-based delights for the stars. The aroma of charity work fills the air as we explore his contributions to PETA and community fridges, and the sweetness of his global Cake Initiative.

Eat to Thrive with Dr. Joel Fuhrman

Rise & Thrive with Sexy Fit Vegan Founder Ella Magers

05/09/23 • 47 min

“When you take care of your physical health and your brain health with the right nourishments, the right nutrients and the right foods then it gives you the ability to have more feelings and emotions for the outside world and things that are not you.... nature, people, animals.” -Dr. Joel Fuhrman

In this fascinating interview with the incredible Dr. Joel Fuhrman, I loved seeing his face light up, after so many years into his career, when he talked about the lives he has, and continues to, change through his written and spoken word, and thanks to his Eat for Life Retreat Center.

Our conversation goes way beyond the scope of nutrition for individual health. We zoom out and look at the big picture in terms of the effects of nutrition on our society as a whole... Something we don’t talk about enough... which was the topic of Dr. Fuhrman’s books, Fast Food Genocide. We dive deep into how nutrition affects people mentally and emotionally, and how that may be a contributing factor to the hostile political climate in this country today.

Dr. Fuhrman shares his backstory, what motivated him to take the path of medicine, specializing in nutrition, and how he almost talked himself out of going to medical school.

He paints an inspiring picture of the Eat for Life retreat center and his home next door, and how he’s created a holistic space that allows people to adopt a healthy, whole foods, plant-based way of life that they’re able to sustain long after leaving the grounds.

Dr. Fuhrman also sets the record straight when it comes to largely misunderstood topics from oil, to claims that raw kale could harm the thyroid (hint: good news, I can keep eating kale for breakfast even though I have Hashimoto’s disease!).

I’m excited for you all to listen to this one!

Running Towards Health with Robbie Balenger

"As much as I run, to think of it as fitness, to think of it as movement, all those apply, but it's really my practice. It's one of the things that really helps me to be the best version of myself." - Robbie Balenger
There are multiple paths that we can choose to take when we are on the journey to living a more healthy lifestyle. Many of us look at running as a quick way to shed some pounds or improve our cardio, but running can provide so much more than just a fitness routine.
I had the pleasure of meeting with Robbie Balenger and discussing how running has impacted his life, taking him from an unhealthy lifestyle to a whole food, plant-based diet and supporting him through his run across the United States.
Throughout his training, he discovered that running starts as a physical game where conditioning your body becomes the first hurdle to jump, but after your body is in running shape — your mind is where the real work is done.
Running has opened the doors to self-reflection and mindfulness throughout Robbie's big-event runs that help bring him clarity and reduce his anxiety. As running continues to require him to push his body beyond the limits he previously thought possible, he is faced with letting go of negative self-talk and boosting his confidence for accomplishing new goals and bigger challenges.
Robbie compares his running events to experiences in life with the reminder that everything is temporary and that as long as you continue to push through and take one step at a time, you will eventually reach the finish line.
Listen in to hear Robbie's story and how running and a plant-based diet help him embrace his life and tackle new challenges.

Plant-Based Seeds of Change: Nourishing the Body, Mind, and Soul with Planted Expo's Stevan Mirkovich

Rise & Thrive with Sexy Fit Vegan Founder Ella Magers

02/27/24 • 51 min

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).

Cultivating a solutionary mindset is the key to a positive, life-affirming, meaningful life that helps build a just, healthy, and humane world for everyone. -Zoe Weil

If making an impact in this complex world is something you value, then I have no doubt you’re going to get SO much out of this eye-opening and empowering episode.

Today’s guest is award-winning educator, best-selling author, and 6-time TEDx speaker, Zoe Weil, who also happens to be a badass vegan cross-fitter (which is where our conversation begins).

In addition to diet and exercise, Zoe shares how important it is to include our sense of purpose and connection (with nature, other people, animals, and the planet) in our definition of holistic health and wellness.

In this episode we dive into...

Zoe’s backstory: How she became connected with her purpose and discerned how she would use her passion to create true impact.
How easy it can be to feel hopeless about the state of the world, and how Zoe helps people shift their mindset to a more empowering perspective that leads to solutions.
The meaning and application of the term, ‘solutionary.’
Actionable ways we can use move through the world with more consciousness and compassion.

According to Zoe...

“There are so many problems in our communities and world but there is a way to solve them – by learning to become solutionaries who address the root and systemic causes of problems and solve them in ways that do the most good and least harm for people, animals, and the environment. Being a solutionary is the antidote to polarization, either/or thinking, and endless debates. Cultivating a solutionary mindset is the key to a positive, life-affirming, meaningful life that helps build a just, healthy, and humane world for everyone.”

An Intriguing Path of Personal Evolution and Purpose with James Aspey

Rise & Thrive with Sexy Fit Vegan Founder Ella Magers

05/23/23 • 62 min

In terms of my purpose, I would say that I am here to be an instrument of truth and peace and love and respect. -James Aspey

James Aspey has made waves across the globe with his message over the years, sometimes in a really positive light, and, yes, there’s also been quite a bit of controversy over his methodology and language as well.

One thing I really admire about James is his commitment to his own evolution and his willingness to share his journey with the world.

In this episode we cover a ton of ground, starting with the death-sentence he was given at the age of 17 when he was diagnosed with cancer.

I invite you to listen with an open mind to his fascinating story.

“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.

Stay tuned until the end to learn about The Vkind experience... a plant-based fully immersive epic event coming up November 11th and 12th in Los Angeles. Check out the show notes for a link to learn more and code for 10% off your tickets.
