In a time of so much material excesses, why do we feel so empty as a society? Why has it become so dang hard to simply take care of ourselves? And must one be wealthy to live sustainably? Welcome back Carly from Consciously Clueless to the podcast as she and Calen dissect these topics together. In the spirit of turning issue into action, they share epic ideas for alternative gift giving as the holidays move in upon us. They also share about their mental health journeys and what particular practices (such as therapy, mindfulness, and somatic movement) have helped them along the way. This episode was lovingly created for anyone who struggles around the holidays with mental health, wants to lessen their material overconsumption, or is ready to directly contribute to a greener future. “There is pressure on people during the holidays to spend money. Why spend it on shit that no one cares about? Shit that’s going to go to the landfill and go sit in the ground.” - Carly Jean Push Download the Upsdie gas app: https://upside.app.link/eby3Y929MEb | Code: 72UXEM Grab a copy of the Unruly Travel guide: https://wanderwoman.online/index.php/unrulystore/The-Art-of-Unruly-Travel-on-a-Budget-Printed-Copy-p390907964 Join the Unruly Podcast on Patreon: www.patreon.com/unrulytravel The Travel Blog: wanderwoman.online/ Connect with Carly: https://www.consciouslycarly.com Nude Trans Calendar: https://www.tnet.store/afterhours Take action for Palestine: ceasefiretoday.com Sign up for email alerts: buff.ly/3CUNL0D

In today’s episode Jimena Suárez sits down with us to discuss the ‘pursuit of beauty’ and how that concept relates to fashion, leather, and social justice. Did you know that with just 3 mature cactus leaves you can create one linear meter of plant-based leather? Incredibly, cacti collect water from the air overnight and can be grown in their native space, organically, with no pesticides or herbicides. In addition to sharing epic facts, Jimena breaks down myths about leather production (like, “Isn’t it sustainable because it’s a byproduct of meat and dairy?”), speaks to what going vegan 14 years ago in Mexico was like, and shares her thoughts on superficiality, style, and sustainability.

In today’s episode we sit down with the mother and daughter duo who created the Trude Sojka museum in Quito, Ecuador. Trude Sojka was a Holocaust survivor and artist who painted until she was almost 100 years old. The house museum celebrates the life of Tude Sojka while educating and inspiring visitors from all over the world. Gabby says “We are nature” and shares with us how that sentiment, plus the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador, influenced her grandmother's art (as well as her own). She also lays out a timeline of Trude’s life, include the periods before and after the Holocaust. Through the preservation of hundreds of paintings, Anita explains how you can step back in time and see how Trude used her art to process her difficult experiences as well as her joyous ones.

How do we live as green as possible on a warming planet? And what the heck is up with so-called "sustainable" influencers trying to sell you things on the internet?
