In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with longtime activist and organizer Rachel Ejsmont to talk about the real impact of street activism, pressure campaigns, open rescues, and what it actually takes to fight for animals in public.

This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. We explore what it means to show up for animals when it’s uncomfortable, inconvenient, and sometimes even risky and why being visible can create real, lasting change.

We get into:

• How Rachel first became active in the movement

• Why she was protesting before she even went fully vegan

• The connection between anti-fur activism and veganism

• How pressure campaigns actually work

• What goes into organizing a major march or protest

• Crashing fashion events and disrupting cruelty in powerful ways

• Why rescue and liberation work matter so much

• The emotional toll of witnessing suffering up close

• How to avoid burnout and stay grounded in activism

• Why infighting hurts the movement

• What makes street activism effective

• How new activists can get involved and find their place

This isn’t just about protesting. It’s about using your voice, your body, and your presence to challenge cruelty in real time.

If you’ve ever wondered whether activism in the streets actually makes a difference,

this episode is for you.

In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with Dr. Andrew Knight, professor, and one of the leading voices researching plant-based nutrition for dogs and cats.

This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. Because while many people are open to veganism for themselves, the conversation changes fast when it comes to their pets.

Can dogs really thrive on a vegan diet?

What about cats?

Is it safe, nutritionally complete, and actually backed by science?

We get into:

• Why Dr. Andrew Knight started researching vegan pet food

• The biggest myths around dogs and cats eating plant-based

• What the science actually says about health outcomes

• Nutrients like taurine, amino acids, and supplementation

• The difference between homemade diets vs. nutritionally complete commercial foods

• Why allergies, obesity, and vet visits may improve on plant-based diets

• The cost issue, accessibility, and why this topic is so emotional for pet parents

This conversation is eye-opening, practical, and deeply important, especially if you love animals but have never questioned what goes into your pets’ bowls.

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s possible for your dogs or cats to be healthy on a vegan diet,

this episode is for you 🐾

In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with Jessica Cruz — founder of Vegan Street Fair, Vegan Exchange, and Vegan Creator Con — to talk about one of the most underrated tools in the animal rights movement... Joy.

This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. We explore why leading with joy, community, and inclusion is not selling out, it’s strategy. And why the vegan movement desperately needs more of it.

We get into:

• Why Jessica ditched aggressive activism for joy-based outreach

• How Vegan Street Fair became a gateway for non-vegans

• The funnel theory of veganism and where joy fits in

• Why vegans cannibalizing each other is hurting the movement

• How to create viral social media content that actually converts

• The difference between rage bait and real impact

• Why guilt and shame are the lowest vibrational tools we have

• Burnout, breast cancer, and why you must protect your energy

• How Vegan Creator Con is creating the next generation of vegan voices

• What the movement needs more of right now

This isn’t about being soft. It’s about being strategic and understanding that joy is the most powerful seed you can plant.

If you’ve ever felt burned out by activism… wondered if your approach is actually working… or just needed permission to have fun while fighting for animals, this episode is for you.

In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with physician-scientist Dr. Mari Mitrani to uncover the hidden realities of science, medicine, and ethics.

This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes — into the parts of healthcare and research that most people never question.

From animal testing to women being excluded from studies, to how nutrition is completely overlooked in modern medicine… this episode challenges everything we think we know about health.

We get into:

• What really happens behind the scenes in medical research

• The truth about animal testing and why it’s still happening

• The emotional conflict of being vegan in a non-vegan scientific world

• Why most animal-tested drugs don’t even work in humans

• The shocking history of women being excluded from research

• Hormones, fertility, menopause — and what women were never taught

• The real impact of plant-based diets on health, fertility, and hormones

• How industries influence doctors, trends, and misinformation

This episode is raw, eye-opening, and honestly… a little unsettling.

Because once you see it — you can’t unsee it.

If you’ve ever questioned what you’ve been told about health, medicine, or the food on your plate,

this episode is for you.

In this episode of Just So You Know, Jamie and Justina sit down with two very special guests:

their dads.

This conversation is personal, emotional, funny, uncomfortable, and deeply real. Because when it comes to veganism, family can be one of the hardest spaces to navigate.

This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. We explore what happens when the people who raised you still don’t fully make the connection, and what love looks like when your values shift but your family doesn’t move at the same pace.

We get into:

• What Jamie and Justina were like as kids

• How their dads reacted when they first went vegan

• Why family dynamics can get so complicated around food

• The tension between love, support, and resistance

• The health changes their dads experienced from eating more plant-based

• What still holds people back, even when they know better

This episode isn’t about perfection. It’s about honesty, progress, and having the conversations that matter most — especially with the people closest to us.

If you’ve ever felt frustrated, heartbroken, or misunderstood by family on your vegan journey,

this episode is for you 🤍

Is lab-grown meat actually the future… or just hype?

This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. We explore what cultivated meat really is, how it’s made, and what it means for animals, our health, and the future of food.

We get into:

• What lab-grown / cultivated meat actually is

• The difference between plant-based and cultivated products

• Whether this truly reduces animal suffering

• The health, safety, and transparency concerns

• What’s real vs what’s hype in this industry

• Whether this is a solution… or a distraction

This isn’t about blind acceptance or rejection. It’s about understanding what’s actually happening and asking better questions.

If you’ve ever felt curious… skeptical… hopeful… or unsure about lab-grown meat,

this episode is for you.

What happens when you go vegan… but the people around you don’t?

This conversation goes deeper than surface level takes. We explore how relationships can change when your beliefs evolve, why shared values matter so much, and how finding the right community can make all the difference in staying grounded, supported, and strong in who you are.

We get into:

• Why community matters so much when you go vegan

• Dating non-vegans and navigating differences in values

• How friendships and family dynamics can shift

• The loneliness that can come with change

• Finding support systems that actually align with you

• Why building community helps people stay committed and empowered
