Seasoned Vegans, this one is for you.

You have lived this lifestyle. You have navigated the questions, the holidays, the restaurant hunts, and the label reading. Veganism is not new to you. It is second nature.

But what happens after the transition feels complete?

In this heartfelt episode, we explore why seasoned Vegans are the backbone of the movement and how your lived experience can support Pre-Vegans, strengthen local businesses, uplift nonprofits, and shape the future of our communities. We talk about mentorship, leadership without ego, and the quiet tug many long-time Vegans feel to give back in a deeper way.

If you have ever wondered how to plug back in, stay inspired, and make a meaningful impact beyond your plate, this episode is your invitation.

Animal cruelty is now a federal felony punishable by up to seven years in prison. That sounds like a major victory for animals. But what does this law actually cover, and what does it leave out?

In this episode, Sean A. Russell breaks down the federal animal cruelty statute, what qualifies as criminal abuse, and why “customary agricultural practices” like slaughterhouses are exempt. We explore where the legal line is drawn, whether it will be meaningfully enforced, and what this moment says about how society values different animals.

Is this real progress, a symbolic policy, or the beginning of a larger shift in public consciousness?

We celebrate the win, but we also ask the hard questions. With clarity, nuance, and a little humor, this episode invites you into a thoughtful conversation about law, ethics, food systems, and cultural evolution.
