Brian Berneman

On this episode we talk with Carly Jean Puch, host of the Consciously Clueless podcast, which assists listeners in discovering the connection between a healthier you and a healthier world through veganism, mindfulness, and a love for the planet. 

We explore how being mindful and living a vegan lifestyle can help create a healthier planet and society, the importance of not judging others or make them feel guilty for their lifestyle choices, understanding that everyone is on their own journey of awareness and change, the importance of focusisng on living your values rather than perfection and how individual actions matter even if you can't fix everything.

Carly's journey

Carly shares about her background in sociology, women's studies, trauma counseling, and yoga instruction. How she found mindfulness and veganism and brought everything together in a way that felt authentic for her work and lifestyle.

Communication Challenges

People can react defensively when presented with new information that contradicts their worldview.

It's valid to feel angry about injustice, but channel that into effective communication.

Using "I" statements to share your personal experience rather than preaching at others.

Ask questions to open up conversations instead of trying to prove a point.

Creating Change

It is important to maintain a mindset that individual actions matter rather than feeling hopelessness.

Look to history and social justice movements to see how change can start small.

Find ways to make an impact on issues you care about in your own life and community.

The Consciously Clueless Podcast

Carly wanted a podcast name to signal a space where perfection is not required to learn and grow.

We all have more to learn on these topics, so "clueless" invites people in.

Starting the Journey

Meet people where they are at and explore why they want to learn about mindfulness or veganism.


Carly aims to create content and a community where you can learn about living a mindfully vegan life. A place where you can show up imperfectly, ask questions, and be ready to change the world.

Sometimes, the world can feel overwhelming, and it might seem pointless. But for Carly, the alternative—giving up—isn't an option. Carly's passion for making a difference started when she was young and was solidified through her education. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Sociology and Women's Studies and a Master's Degree in Social Responsibility.

Carly is a 200-hour registered yoga instructor a certified Health and Wellness Coach and a certified Meditation and Mindfulness Coach. Carly teaches yoga and mindfulness to adults and children in local schools ages 1st to 8th grade.
