I used to get asked, “Why are you so happy?” and for a while I didn’t know how to explain it without sounding strange. This conversation is my honest answer: my energy comes from faith, from practicing self-control, and from getting back to basics with my body. I share what happens when I put Jesus first, when I choose peace on purpose, and when I stop treating my cravings like they run my life. 

We dig into Lenten fasting in a very real way, including my decision to give up sweets...

A playful humpback whale breaks the surface at just the right moment and it flips a simple vacation memory into a spiritual signal: keep singing your song until it reaches the people it’s meant for. We start with the energy of the New Moon in Aries and the first lift of Spring Equinox, then weave it straight into the Lenten path of surrender, reflection, and stripping back the ego. The result is a grounded way to think about renewal that doesn’t live only in the sky or only in scripture, but in y...

The world feels loud and restless right now, but there’s a steadier way to move through it. We open with a Lent-season reset—choosing faith over fear, casting our worries at the cross, and reclaiming peace in a time of rapid change. From the blood moon to a Virgo eclipse, we use clear, grounded metaphors to explore why letting go of control can be the most productive thing we do, and how discernment grows when we pause, pray, and listen. No crystal ball needed—just honest reflection, simple practices, and the courage to kee...

What if one note could soften your chest and change your day? We open with a heart chakra sound bowl, a simple humming practice, and an emerald-light visualization that turns tension into warmth. Then we anchor that feeling with a short surrender prayer—“Lord, empty me, fill me, use me”—that helps quiet ego, push back fear, and keep love at the center of daily choices.

From there, we follow the trail of sound into community. I share the electric charge of worship rehearsals, the joy of taking my family to a stadiu...

What happens when cosmic urgency collides with sacred discipline? We open with worship and move into a powerful invitation: harness the Year of the Fire Horse’s momentum while using Lent to shape it into something lasting. Instead of sprinting blindly or stalling in reflection, we build a path that lets you gallop toward your calling without burning out. Along the way, we talk about releasing doubt and shame, naming distractions that dull your spirit, and choosing practices that keep your heart soft and your courage high.

You’ll hear how the...

A single proverb flipped the mirror for me: gray hair as a crown of splendor, not something to hide. From that spark, we dig into how culture, chemicals, cost, and time can push us toward default choices—and how stewardship brings us back to what truly matters. I share why I’m embracing silver strands, how that decision challenged my assumptions, and the way it opened a deeper path into self-care that actually fills the cup.

We get practical and honest. Meditation becomes the daily anchor—starting with YouTube guided tracks and gr...

A hard day can still hold a bright thread. We start there and follow it through an honest update on Sunshine—our beloved co‑founder—who stepped into full‑time caregiving for her mom after a sudden loss reshaped the family’s life. It’s a tender look at dementia’s daily realities, the courage it takes to pause work for round‑the‑clock care, and the quiet grace of doing the next right thing. We talk about what this example plants in the hearts of her daughters and why a short girls’ trip to Cancun isn’t...

Ever feel like you’re operating someone else’s machine and wondering why it keeps grinding? Let’s talk about Human Design, a practical map for your energy that blends astrology, the I Ching, chakras, and the Kabbalah tree of life with a modern, body-first way of making decisions. I share how I stumbled into my first reading, what clicked when I revisited my chart years later, and why learning I’m a Projector with splenic authority reshaped how I create, rest, and show up.

Ready for a season of bold visibility? We dive into a heartfelt transformation from private preparation to public action—anchored in faith, grounded in family, and powered by practices you can actually do this week. I share the messy middle of showing up: late nights mentoring at Cheryl’s Club, early mornings with the kids, and the steady decision to speak with courage even when confidence flickers.

We get practical about momentum. I walk through a simple audio-video setup that finally removed creative friction, a short breathwork reset that calms nerves befo...

What if the most powerful growth comes after the messy, imperfect start—the one with too many cables, a new mic, and a quick prayer for courage? That’s where we begin, then move straight into the heart of what matters: honoring a calling, serving community, and trusting God to meet us in the work. I talk openly about shifting from a year of surrender to a season of attract—less chasing, more alignment—and why it’s “selfish not to share” when your gifts could be someone else’s breakthrough.

What if the clearest answers aren’t in your head, but in your breath? We sit down with Jessica, a nurse of 17 years who walked away from the ICU and into a calling that blends breathwork, sound healing, and somatic coaching. The move wasn’t tidy, fast, or Instagram-perfect. It was shaky, faithful, and grounded in a simple shift: listen to the body, trust God’s nudges, and build a business that serves real humans under real stress.

What happens when a drummer’s sense of timing becomes the heartbeat of a visual style? Jeff Skomsky paints “rhythm of color on canvas,” and that phrase anchors a story that moves from bedroom sketches to city murals without losing the pulse of daily practice. A cosmic palette, clean linework, and a habit of finishing what he starts turned an outlet into a livelihood—helped by a perfectly timed fortune cookie and a wife who said, “Go for it.”

We trace the arc from his first mural—booked on a cold call—to commis...

Ever rebuilt a life by saying yes more often? That’s the energy here as we walk alongside Mari through a CrossFit comeback, a Hyrox sign-up in Vegas, and the quiet rituals that make progress stick—dogs underfoot, coffee flights on weekends, and friends who push you to the next rep. We open on nerves and barking chaos, then settle into an honest, funny look at how community and routine transform confidence.

We talk training that respects seasons: AMRAPs and chippers when the tank is full, trail runs when the woods are...

A simple question at a corner table—“Do you know Jesus?”—opened a story that surges with rescue, reconciliation, and unexpected courage. Michelle joins us to share how a TikTok sermon nudged her into a five-hour drive, an altar call that felt like electricity, and the moment a stranger handed her a Bible and said, go be alone with God. What followed wasn’t theory; it was sleep for a restless mind, peace in place of panic, and a slow, steady rebuilding marked by forgiveness and bold love.

A brother and sister pull up two chairs and a thousand memories, then steer straight into what really matters: raising kids with courage, honoring outdoor traditions without romanticizing risk, and choosing a clearer mind when the world nudges toward shortcuts. We start with small, vivid moments—donuts at a tiny school table, two wiener dogs burrowing under blankets—and follow the thread to big lessons learned in duck blinds, on Lake Erie’s open water, and along winter trails where snowmobiles can deliver wonder or danger depending on respect and preparation.

The cannabis shelves are full in Wisconsin, but the fields are quiet—and that contradiction tells the real story. We open up about life as a hemp farmer under total THC rules, why most intoxicating products aren’t grown here, and how the THCA loophole rewards sales over soil. If you’ve wondered how gas stations can stock euphoric drinks while local growers sit on the sidelines, this conversation lays out the mechanics, the stakes, and a path toward policy that actually serves people.

A birthday can feel like a spotlight and a mirror—bright, fun, and a little revealing. We sit down for a spirited mother–daughter chat to celebrate twelve with all the beautiful contradictions that come with it: Apple Watch excitement and school-day boundaries, snowmobile and babysitting licenses next to sprinkle pools and sleepovers, faith made simple alongside questions about bodies and growing up. The result is a warm, funny, and surprisingly grounded look at what responsibility, freedom, and joy can look like in a real family.

The livestream started as a birthday hang and turned into something deeper: a real look at purpose, partnership, and the gritty work of building a craft—on the job site and on the farm. We talk about hitting 45, feeling “halfway,” and why a sense of duty, not hype, gets you out of bed and back to the work that matters. From finish carpentry to hemp cultivation, Danny shares how treating people right, paying subs fast, and staying small and lean can beat top-heavy growth. It’s not flashy. It’s effective.

A Care Bear hoodie might not look like a doorway to transformation, but ours opened into a warm, candid journey through sisterhood, faith, and the kind of gardening that heals a heart. We invited Rachel—“Pretty Rachy,” the Dragonfly Princess—into a space where playful teasing gave way to the stories that shape us: a mother whose love is loud, a brother who refused to let a Christmas Eve invitation go, and a church home that feels like a bench where your people always save you a seat.

A field full of fragrant buds, a hive on the brink, and a word that can change a life—redeemed. This episode moves from dirt-under-the-fingernails farm work to a clear-eyed push for smarter hemp laws in Wisconsin, then lands in the quiet power of faith, testimony, and music as service.

We start with harvest—the short, ecstatic window when hemp colas are ripe and resinous. Along the way, we unpack the endocannabinoid system in plain English and share real, practical ways people use plant medicine: oils, topicals, edibles, smokables. From there, we h...

What happens when a ten-year-old leads his mom back to church? We sat down with Nixon for our very first interview, and what unfolds is a mix of kid joy, honest faith, and the kind of questions adults are often afraid to ask. From a viral “What’s up, my mammals?” moment at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to a preschool pastor who made Jesus feel close and kind, Nixon shows how curiosity can change a family’s path.

Awe is a muscle, and harvest is our gym. With Sunshine away, I jumped back on the mic to share what’s blooming on the farm and what’s shifting in my heart: a sober-minded reset, a deeper reverence for God’s design, and a hands-on blueprint for turning plants into daily wellness. We start in the hemp rows, where fresh colas sparkle with milky trichomes and the lesson is simple—healing beats hype. I talk through why I set down THC, what a week of clarity feels like, and how hemp’s non-intoxi...

A bright garden border turned into a teacher. We start by honoring Kelly’s loss and then follow a thread that runs from marigold folklore and calendula medicine to the everyday choices that shape our health, our farms, and our clarity. Marigold—Mary’s gold—steps out of the garden bed with real receipts: triterpenoids and flavonoids for inflamed skin, antimicrobial support for minor infections, carotenoids for eye health, and a place at the table as a vibrant, edible petal. We share simple, hands-on ways to work with it—garlands for drying, teas and salves...

The endocannabinoid system might be the most important bodily system you've never heard of. Discovered only in the 1980s, this master operating system oversees all other functions in your body, yet it's often reduced to a single paragraph in medical textbooks. Why is something so crucial kept so quiet?

In this illuminating episode, we hold up a freshly harvested, sun-grown hemp cola to examine the profound difference between hemp and marijuana. While they share the same plant family, hemp contains 0.3% THC or less, offering all the medicinal benefits without the high...
