Description

Have you ever stumbled over your own intentions to live more sustainably? Have you ever questioned how much it even matters when there's 8 billion other people out there? Or maybe you're already committed to living more sustainably and you'd simply like a dose of contagious motivation? 


Great news: this podcast is for you. 


Hayden Kessinger & Evelyn Wallace reveal the fun and freedom... and STRUGGLES... of life "on the other side" of living more and more sustainably. While they strive to live 1% better every day, they are also VERY normal people.  Segments include: Yeah, But (about personal experiences of Resistance), Heroes of History (about a person or persons, past or present, who took some kind of inspiring ACTION), and Truth or Dare (don't worry... it's wholesome!)


Please keep in mind this whole podcast is for entertainment only. We hope it's clearly evident, but let's just spell it out: we are not giving medical advice or legal advice. Talk to your own appropriate professionals if you have questions about that kind of stuff.
