Every Wednesday on the Hippie Haven podcast, learn how to live harmoniously with yourself, others & the planet. We talk about all things hippie, including eating vegan, reducing your trash, starting an ethical business, eco-activism, gardening, beekeeping, tiny house living, and so much more.
Happy Holidays, and a merry day after christmas if you just celebrated that. This week's episode is a little different, a little more laid-back due to the festivities. You might have already heard it, if you saw the IG live I did a couple weeks back on my account @ahippieinavan with Sabrina Katz of @sustainablesabs, but if not, we chat all about zero waste, veganism, minimalism, including common zero waste misconceptions, tips on going vegan, using a safety razor, her favorite books, new years resolutions, and we answer a few questions from the live viewers as well. To give her a proper introduction, Sabrina Katz is a texas girl now living in Brooklyn new york, working as the communication and marketing director for the wally shop, the first zero waste grocery delivery company, launching now in select NYC zip codes. Because we were recording on both our computers for the podcast audio, and on our cell phones for the IG live, there are a few places where there's a slight echo, and also I accidentally muted my side of the recording for the very first two questions I asked, so here's Sabs with how she got started in both zero waste and veganism, as well as how she ended up in New York.
The Hippie Haven Podcast is hosted by Callee - a zero waste activist & business owner. Formerly a translator for the US Navy, Callee was honorably discharged as a conscientious objector in 2017 following an episode of severe depression & alcoholism fueled by not living in alignment with her core values. That same year, at age 23, she started Bestowed Essentials, a handmade line of eco-friendly beauty & home products that are now stocked in over 100 stores around the US & Canada. Callee began hosting this free podcast in August 2018, as well as speaking at events and teaching educational workshops across the country, as part of her life mission to arm you with the knowledge & tools you need to spark positive change in your community. In December 2019, she opened The Hippie Haven in Rapid City, South Dakota - a zero waste retail store & community space with a little free library - the first of its kind in the state. She’ll be opening a second Hippie Haven in Salem, Oregon in Feb 2021.
