Renée King-Sonnen & Dr. Sailesh Rao on "Rowdy Girl," Animal Agriculture, and the Climate, June 2026

Dr. Sailesh Rao, founder of Climate Healers, has believed in this work for so long. He has been such an inspiration on my journey, so sitting down with him for this conversation meant the world to me. We talk about animal agriculture and the climate, and what it really takes for a rancher to change course. Sailesh has championed our Rancher Advocacy Program from the beginning, helping ranchers and farmers transition to plant-based businesses and sanctuaries, and this conversation goes right to the heart of why that work matters. If you've been waiting for a reason to look at our food system differently, I hope this conversation is it. You can hear my whole story (and I mean whole story, ya’ll — I spill it all!) in my new memoir Rowdy Girl: Confessions of a Vegan Cattle Rancher, out now. 📖 Buy Rowdy Girl or download on Audible: https://rowdygirlsanctuary.org/the-ro... 💛 Learn about the Rancher Advocacy Program: https://rancheradvocacy.org/ #RowdyGirl #SaileshRao #ClimateHealers #AnimalAgriculture #AnimalSanctuary
