Today I am joined by coach Amy Brink-Peterson.

From her bio: Amy Brink-Peterson helps vegan and plant-based advocates who are feeling run-down, depleted and frustrated to access their brilliance and become influential changemakers. As a certified plant-based health coach, she supports advocates in rebuilding their health, resilience, and vitality — so they can lead sustainably and thrive for the long haul. Her approach weaves together expertise in whole-foods plant-based living and a transformative Woman-Centered Coaching methodology, moving beyond behavior change to spark deep identity transformation — empowering clients to step into their full potential as leaders and visionaries.

Drawing on her own journey through burnout and the profound, challenging, and beautiful transformation of becoming a mother (matrescence), Amy is passionate about helping others treat their health as the foundation it truly is — not just for personal wellbeing, but for lasting impact in the world. She believes veganism is a practice of loving kindness that extends not only to non-human animals, but to ourselves as well.

Amy is trained and certified by Food Revolution Network and continues to expand her expertise through advanced training with The Institute for Woman-Centered Coaching and collaboration with vegan psychologist Clare Mann. Based in the Netherlands, she offers coaching (online) in both English and Dutch to clients around the world.

My guest, Anna Balser currently serves as the Programs Manager at Woodstock Farm Sanctuary in the Hudson Valley, NY. She holds an MS in Anthrozoology from Canisius College, where she primarily focused her studies on sanctuary regulation, public policy, and animal ethics. She loves helping people question their assumptions about veganism and think more deeply about their relationships with other species. In her free time, she enjoys experimental vegan baking (and eating), road trips, and puzzles.

Today’s episode speaks to the power of sanctuary, why it matters, how you can be part of it, and ultimately, how sanctuary doesn’t just change the lives of the residents but ours too.

In addition to years of investigative work on factory farms, karol is the director of Maximum Tolerated Dose, a feature-length documentary about the psychological toll of vivisection on both animals and humans. He completed a Bachelor of Environmental Studies and an MA in Communications and Culture at York University, writing theses on nationalism and the Atlantic seal hunt, and Canadian rodeo culture, respectively. When he's not working for Faunalytics, karol is the Board Chair of a non-profit independent news publication in his hometown. Outside of work, karol is often reading about computer hacking and infosec, organizing and performing at events in his local arts scene, or walking with Raoul the rescue dog.

In this episode karol shares his experience as an undercover investigator, how even 20+ years in it is still possible to feel like the odd person out when surrounded by non-vegan friends and family, the study that launched what is now Faunalytics into the news, his vegan journey and more!

Today, I am joined by Robin Singh of Peepal Farm. An ex-hacker and ex-techie, Robin today runs Peepal Farm, an animal rescue and awareness organization that helps animals heal and be heard. He lives on-site in a mud house, grows his own food and brews and sells Kombucha.

His bumpy career start in 1997-hacking Internet accounts and selling bootleg CDs-had landed surprisingly smoothly, when a misspelled e-mail landed him a job in the US in 2003. That same year, he started a technology service that helped tens of thousands independent artists sell their digital goods directly to consumers.

In 2010, with all the checkboxes checked on the societal template, he had a crisis of meaning of sorts, and he came back to India to try and be happy perpetually. It was his pursuit of happiness that put him on the path to purpose. It was eventually on that path where he stumbled upon happiness after having given up on it.

The Happiness Happens ebook and paperback are available for purchase now, but, if you love a beautiful hardcover like I do, that will be available here in the U.S. on May 19, 2026. Check out my instagram post for this episode to see just how gorgeous it is.

Today, I am joined by Deanna Meyler. Deanna cares strongly about social justice and has been vegan since 1998. Today she is the Director of Development at the Lancaster Cleft Palate Clinic. It is the only independent nonprofit and approved craniofacial care clinic in the United States that accepts all patients, no matter their background or ability to pay. In the past, Deanna led a small nonprofit focused on animal rights, was part of the advocacy team at a large immigration rights nonprofit, worked in advertising/consulting for a decade, and was in academia for a decade. Deanna has a PhD in sociology, advanced certification in Community Leadership, is a Master Certified Vegan Lifestyle Coach & Educator, and has a certification in plant-based nutrition. She is the founder of An Everyday Vegan, a lifestyle website. Deanna’s personal mission is to make the world a better place one meal at a time.

That’s not all Deanna is up to though, as a member of the Leadership team of Women Funders in Animal Rights (WFAR), Deanna is part of an organization that is making it possible for those of us who want to have an impact in the animal rights movement not just with our actions but with our money too. For those listening to this episode when it is first released on March 2nd, WFAR is holding their next open meeting (guests are welcome) on Tuesday, March 10th at 3pm EDT, 12pm PDT, the topic for the meeting is generosity.
