Enjoy my conversation with Mariann and Jasmin from Our Hen House.

In this heartfelt conversation, author Colleen Patrick-Goudreau joins Jasmin and Mariann to discuss her eighth book, A Year of Compassion: 52 Weeks of Living Zero Waste, Plant-Based and Cruelty Free, exploring how compassion can be a guiding force during challenging times and offering practical ways to manifest it in everyday life.

This episode explores:

• How compassion is often misunderstood and how we can reclaim its true meaning in secular contexts
• The psychological barriers that prevent people from aligning their actions with their compassionate values
• Practical ways to make a difference, from rewilding our gardens to support native pollinators to embracing a zero-waste mindset
• The importance of starting where you are rather than doing nothing because you can’t do everything
• How Colleen’s personal journey, including her relationship with her mother, shaped her compassionate worldview
