The long of it is Dani and Katt like to talk. Like a lot. So why not record it for everyone to enjoy! Topics center around veganism, feminism and just activism in general, but that doesn't mean some side convos about their cats or the food they have just eaten won't happen. It will happen. It will happen a lot. So come join these two friends and be their new best friend as we all just try to survive the world together while being cool to each other, having some fun and just not taking it all too seriously.

  <description>&lt;p&gt;Once again, we address the issue of people not truly giving thought to the meaning of compassion.  Recently we were shook with the loss of two "celebrities", but more importantly two human beings. As suicide is now the 10th leading cause of death- it's time we did something about it, but change has to start with awareness, understanding, and compassion...something being vegan is supposed to be all about. Unfortunately that is not always the case as we have come to notice that being vegan does not mean it's cruelty free.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;**Warning- this episode does contain discussion of mental illness, depression, and suicide. &lt;/p&gt;
