The Proof with Simon Hill

In today's episode of the podcast I talk to Carly Puch, host of the Consciously Clueless Podcast. Carly Jean Puch is a passionate advocate for mindful living, veganism, and environmental sustainability. She hosts the Consciously Clueless podcast, which explores the interconnection between personal health and global well-being through a vegan lens. Carly's mission is to inspire and empower individuals to live compassionately and make collective changes in the world.

With a Bachelor's degree in Sociology and Women's Studies and a Master's in Social Responsibility, Carly brings a well-rounded perspective to her work. She is a certified 200-hour yoga instructor, Health and Wellness Coach, and Meditation and Mindfulness Coach. Carly currently teaches yoga and mindfulness to both adults and children, sharing her expertise with a diverse audience.

In addition to the Consciously Clueless podcast, Carly hosts and produces The Mindfulness Monday podcast, which offers practical tools for incorporating mindfulness into daily life. She also produces The Otterpod, a collaborative project with local middle school students that tackles important global issues from a youth perspective.

Carly's approach to veganism and mindful living is inclusive and compassionate. She believes in the interconnectedness of all liberation movements and strives to create a welcoming community for both longtime vegans and those new to the lifestyle. Through her content and coaching, Carly encourages individuals to embrace imperfection while exploring how individual action can make collective change for all. 

But aside from all her expertise and knowledge, Carly was a gem to talk to, so fun that I know without a doubt she will be a return guest so we can expand these topics even further. In this conversation we talk about how she found veganism in the first place, and navigating this change in a family where the bonding and time shared happened while hunting and fishing. How the patience others had with us, is an important reminder of why we need to have patience with our loved ones too. We talk about mindfulness, anxiety and depression, about navigating the harsh reality of what happens to animals, living in a non vegan world with non vegan friends and family, the big "should I date someone who isn't vegan" question, and finding our own way to advocacy. I had such a fun time with Carly and her enthusiasm is palpable, contagious and invigorating, and I can’t wait for you to listen to her and get to know her in what I know will be just one chat of many.
