Healing ourselves and the world around us, with Alicia Silverstone

This week, Holly chats to actress, author and activist Alicia Silverstone, star of 90s classic Clueless. They discuss the wide-ranging benefits of a vegan lifestyle and the plant-based foods that can really nourish your body and soul. Alicia talks about raising her son as a vegan, his love of cooking and how her mum inspired her to live a zero-waste lifestyle. They discuss how we can subtly persuade those round us to go vegan, and delve into Alicia's brand-new podcast, The Real Heal, which looks at healing ourselves and the world around us with kindness and compassion. Alicia also shares what helped her cope with finding fame at such a young age, and why she's not a typical Hollywood actress.
