Today, I am joined by Tara Stone. Tara is a speaker, holistic success coach, and passionate advocate for conscious living. Her journey into veganism began with a deep-rooted love for animals, leading her to years of hands-on experience in animal rescue. This commitment to compassion naturally evolved into a plant-based lifestyle, inspiring her to found Grounded for Life, a plant-based café dedicated to nourishing the body and soul with good food that tastes great and just so happens not to have animal products in it!

With a background in real estate, business coaching and leadership development, Tara helps high-achievers move beyond burnout and into sustainable success both personally and professionally. She empowers entrepreneurs and executives to align their work with their values, prioritizing well-being, impact, and purpose. Through her work, she has helped countless individuals shift from the toxic hustle mentality to a more intentional and fulfilling way of living.

Tara’s expertise spans across mindset coaching, workplace culture transformation, and accountability, making her a sought-after speaker and consultant. Whether she’s leading executive retreats, coaching high-performing teams, or helping individuals build habits that align with their holistic success, her mission remains the same: to end suffering and empower people to create a life by design, embrace struggle as a gift and fund the life they love.

Today, I am joined by long-time vegan Tim Barford of VegFest UK and new venture, Why Go Vegan.

From his bio: Tim was born in the 60's in the UK, conceived the same day as Ringo Starr joined the Beatles, brought up on impeccable musical tastes & at 6 years old 50 miles downwind of Woodstock, he was born to rock n roll. Living in Greece as a child in the early 70's, Tim forged a long-standing bond with what he calls a true friend and trusted & revered companion through life - hummus of course.

One of the UK’s most dynamic voices in the vegan movement, Tim has spent decades igniting change and inspiring action. You don't want to miss this!
