68. The Future is Green
Today we share about our vision as an organization and what our next steps are to continue to serve our mission for our community. The Love the Green Life Wellness Center, Cafe & Vintage Shop will be the change we want to see in the world.
All of us are in dire need of services that make it easier to choose the green solution. Our organization; Love the Green Life, offers a beacon of hope with the most effective courses, guides, media, and events to carry us into a healthy future. Love the Green Life is a 501(c)3 non-profit educational service organization that specializes in cruelty-free, chemical-free and compassionate living. We encourage a more eco-friendly lifestyle through coaching, a vintage shop, our podcast, a weekly radio program and an annual conference. 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. We plan to become a demonstration model in many ways. For example: we plan to hold a catering license so that we can safely offer local vegan grab & go meals, bakery items and farm-to-table fast food. We have vendors in line. Local food artisans, chefs and baristas, all who have chosen to join our mission. The best part of being on the Green Team is that we accept everyone on their journey to a better planet.

66. The Conscious Consumer
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

48. Diana Nicholson: Owner of Kind Cakes Bakery, LTGL Vice President
Today we chat with Diana Nicholson, our board vice president. Diana is the owner of a local vegan bakery, home gardener and supporter of encouraging others on their green journey. I (Jess) have known Diana a good portion of our lives and it is so cool to see the journey we have both taken to get here together today. I personally am honored to have her as part of the organization, a friend and colleague. She really has so much to teach and to offer and I am looking forward to all of that here with Love the Green Life.
Diana's family transitioned to a vegan lifestyle almost 6 years ago. They started for health reasons but then learned more about the ethical aspect. They are raising 3 kids (16, 8 and 2) and are excited to help produce the next generation of "green" individuals. Because of the kids Diana founded “Kind-cakes”, a vegan bakery out of Cuyahoga Falls. Her drive for doing so was that she didn't want them left out at birthday parties or school functions. She also wanted to show that these celebrations can still be enjoyed with vegan ingredients.
