    Kindness Is Helping Street Animals—How one woman is helping street animals in India.
    Jun 10 2026
    Animal lover Aliesha Verma joins Anitha to talk about all she does to help stray animals in India, including rescuing a puppy who couldn’t walk.

    Aliesha who lives in Canada, regularly returns to India to visit family. Most of her visits are spent helping the many stray animals she comes across. From feeding them to providing shelter to getting them medical care such as spaying and neutering. But on one visit, she came across a puppy who was in such dire condition she knew they wouldn’t survive if she left them behind. So, Aliesha brought Baby Girl (the name she gave to the puppy) and her two sisters back to Canada.

    Aliesha talks about the journey from India to Canada with three puppies and updates us on how they are all doing now.

    An episode for all animal lovers.

They are dedicated to creating a nation where each and every stray animal receives all the basic medical treatment.

  • Kindness Is Publishing, Plants & the Planet—How a Canadian publisher combined a love for books and helping the environment

    Kindness Is Publishing, Plants & the Planet—How a Canadian publisher combined a love for books and helping the environment
    Jun 3 2026
    Jon Seymour, the founder of Tielmour Press, joins Anitha to talk about the world of publishing and how he united his love for the environment and his love of books.

    By their very nature, books destroy trees. Books are made from paper and paper is made from trees. As someone who cares about the environment and the preservation of trees, it was important for Jon to find a way to reduce the environmental harm the publishing industry causes. And he has—Every book sold supports reforestation!

    Tielmour Press, an independent Canadian publisher, promises that when someone buys one of their hardcover books, they donate to One Tree Planted, a non-profit organization focused on global reforestation.

    Jon also talks about some other kind initiatives he has brought to publishing, such as amplifying books of other publishers. And of course, he and Anitha talk about books and what Tielmour Press is looking for in terms of submissions.

    **UPDATE** As of June 2, 2026, Jon shared that unfortunately, Tielmour Press is winding down production and operations and will not be accepting any submissions until further notice. THEY STILL WILL be selling books and supporting reforestation.
