Send a text I've been going through a lot these days. The old beliefs are crashing down. As babies we're 100% vulnerable and without boundaries. We learn through interacting with our caregivers. We respond to input and reactions. We then form a sense of self based upon this. Beliefs and emotional scaffolding begin to from. Almost on autopilot we live and trust this model into our 20's, 30's, 40's, and we simply accept this as gospel. The filters and lens we see life through becomes our ...
Send a text As Long As Rivers Run is a tale of lore, wisdom, and wonder; a story of hardship and healing in a rugged wilderness full of challenges and rewards.

After the war, he and his 13 year-old daughter, Brooke, cross the Continental Divide and stumble upon a Ute father and son in their own tragic...
Send a text ICE has been rounding people up without due process. Immigrants, typically of Hispanic descent, both legal and illegal, have been accused of the most heinous crimes. And yet, research shows they are one of the groups with the lowest violent crimes. So what's really going on? We're also told they don't pay their taxes. And yet, the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policies states that illegal immigrants paid almost 100 billion dollars last year. Your beliefs might get chall...
Send a text Donald Trump calls himself a patriot — but his actions prove otherwise. From undermining elections and inciting January 6th, to cozying up to Putin, betraying Ukraine, and grifting the American people, Trump has shown us what we are not. This episode lays out his corruption, cruelty, and chaos — and contrasts it with what true American leadership should look like: truth, service, and defending democracy and ideals. Trump isn’t a patriot. He is the Un-American President. Support t...

Send a text Hey folks, I haven't done a solocast in quite a while. You should expect more of these in the future. Short nuggets on subjects that need addressing. Here goes: We were born into humanity and then are indoctrinated into society. It's often like the square peg in the round hole. Society was born out of humanity to navigate life: laws, government, religions, institutions, the external of goods and services. What happens is often the homogenization of the individual. Whereas humanity...

Send a text It's the economy stupid. Well, it's a lot more than that. Is the economy rigged? We often make political decisions based upon economic situations. And what a perfect time for this episode to air as our economy is rapidly changing under Trump's new tariffs and the rollbacks of many beloved and necessary programs. *Please note, this interview took place beforehand, so we don't directly discuss that.* The government licenses corporations and sets the rules. Often the way the ri...
Send a text New Year's resolution? Diet? Eat better for a few weeks, then go back to old habits? Well, maybe they aren't resolutions at all but wishful thinking. Resolution means to be resolved, a firm decision to do something or not. But what if deeper beliefs run contrary to that "resolution" preventing you from getting that better body or better life and not eating emotionally. Why keep going through that awful cycle of shame and diet, rinse and repeat? Something deeper is going on.&nbs...

Send a text Many of us suffer alone, in silence, with those negative thought loops keeping us stuck, small, afraid. But if you had a broken arm that got treated, there would be no shame in it. Shouldn't we treat the mental and physical the same? Mental health, or should I say mental well-being, we all hear so much about now and all need more of it. Just think if we were all mentally and emotionally well what the world would look like. Today we dive into this topic with Dr. Bonnie Wims, a p...
