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!
