In this episode, we share 26 things we’ve learned by 26 — lessons and realizations collected unpredictably, intentionally, and sometimes the hard way. From relationships and purpose to personal growth, happiness, and long-term vision, the list we curated is full of what we both believe matters most. It’s raw, reflective, and meant to feel like a letter to our younger selves (or maybe even our current selves). Whether you’re navigating dating, motherhood, career, or working on protecting your peace, we hope something in here resonates. From why you should sometimes drop $40 on a pedicab, to how the 80/20 rule might actually be the key to everything (mental health, money, love—you name it), this one’s got range. We hope you connect with at least one of the things we ramble on about—and if you do, let us know what you think.Available on all listening platforms and our website! -https://www.highlyinspiredpodcast.comSocials:IG: @jordancraft / @ella_mcfarland / @highlyinspiredpodcastX: @_jordancraft / @ella_mcfarland / @highly_inspired
In this episode, we dive into the emerging identity of the Generalist Woman — a multifaceted, adaptable archetype reshaping modern femininity. From motherhood and dating to cultural pressures and workforce shifts, we explore what it means to reject extremes, embrace nuance, and move through life with intention. We chat about the narratives of the “trad wife” vs. “girlboss,” unpack the enshittification of social media, and rejoice in the beauty of being uncategorized. From attachment styles and suburbia to porn, childcare, and strategies to keeping your cup/s full — this entire topic holds such a special place in our hearts. We hope you friends find some good food for thought in this. <3
The Golden Age

The Golden Age

2024-12-1802:21:36

In honor of 2024 coming to a close, we’re taking a moment to give it the send-off it deserves. There were so many pivotal moments that have set the stage for us to step into 2025 with a more optimistic outlook. This week, we’re mapping out our vision for the next several years, starting with 2025: lots of gold, color, quiet luxury, and a cultural renaissance filled with intentionality and even more breakthroughs. We’re hoping to see a massive resurgence in timeless art, prioritizing strong relationships, vibrant third spaces, and even meet-cutes while ditching corrupt capitalism, living in autopilot, digital enslavement, and dating apps. We share some musings on the recent political calm, eagerly wanting a modern renaissance, and why authenticity is everything. The Golden Age isn’t a far-off dream—it’s within our grasp… but it’s on us to take the reins, step up, and do the work to create the world we want to live in. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! See you all in 2025!
October surprises? You bet. But how about what’s the one event that constitutes this year’s infamous “October Surprise”. First up, Hurricane Helene – totally normal, right? Or was there maybe a little “weather weaponization” at play? Then, Hollywood delivers yet another surprisingly unsurprising scandal, with P. Diddy front and center. And as if things weren’t spicy enough, Kanye’s back on the scene, doing Kanye things, of course. Join us in this episode as we unravel some of the October chaos, from shady disaster management to more Hollywood underbelly, just in time for the final stretch leading up to the election. It’s about to get interesting… but you already know that.

60% of Americans have a chronic disease. 18% of Americans struggle with depression. 50% of Americans are chronically obese. 1 in 36 children have Autism. 11% of women and 9% of men experience infertility. On average, US children spend only 4-7 minutes daily doing unconstructed play. Conclusion: We are a very sick nation with a major health crisis. Solution: Make America Healthy Again. (aka MAHA) What is it? Well, it's exactly what it sounds like. It’s about taking the poison out of foods, cleaning up our water, ending chronic disease, restoring our soil, and preserving our environment for us and future generations. It’s clear America has a deep and systemic health crisis. It’s entangled in the corrupt corporate greed of Big Pharma, Big Ag, Insurance agencies, and ultimately, our government. The same people who work for many agencies like the FDA that exist to conduct safety testing and regulate our food end up going to work for the same drug and food companies they are supposed to regulate. And when you travel outside the US, it is easy to see they do not have these problems at the levels we do in the US. RFK Jr. happens to be the face of the MAHA movement, whose primary goal is to end chronic disease in America but restore our soils, clean up our water, and take out the chemicals in our food…just to name a few. Who is he, you may ask? He’s JFK's nephew, a famous environmental attorney who decorated his life with cleaning up the Hudson River, seeing Big Oil, polluters, and Big Pharma in defense of the little guys (like those who are harmed on a daily basis from these chemicals). Join us in this episode as we chat about some high-level information we’ve dug up surrounding the current health crisis and what we can do to Make America Healthy Again and end these medical loops so many Americans find themselves trapped within.
As we predicted in our previous episode, this would be a summer of black swan events, one after another. And, well, some may have been easier to guess than others. Biden's "stepping down" (aka good ole Nancy gave him a little convincing talk that it was time to retire... in reality, it was probably a coup) was a given. However, Americana summer turning into Brat summer was not something on our bingo card. Tune in to hear our reactions to the recent black swan events in the past month, everything from the assassination attempt and brat summer, the 2024 Olympics, to everything in between. Cheers!
An Americana Revival

An Americana Revival

2024-07-1802:10:51

It’s looking like an Americana Summer & we are all here for it. If 2024 is the feature film, 2020 was the trailer. And although we may know some of the possible plot points, we have zero way of fully telling what’s in store this season with all the twists & turns that have happened & are yet to come as the year continues. Tune in this week to hear our thoughts on what has happened thus far & predictions of what is to come in these upcoming weeks. (Note: this was recorded before the assassination attempt on President Trump)

Just when we thought the 2020 election was behind us, with many of the lawsuits finally being put to bed, a new documentary called "2000 Mules" emerged. The film shows how "True the Vote", a non-partisan election integrity organization, used three trillion cellphone geo-tracking signals along with surveillance video to reveal a revolutionary scheme: "a network of 'mules' in battleground states busily collecting ballots from non-profits and stuffing them, a few at a time, into multiple d...
Medical Loops

Medical Loops

2022-06-0101:20:22

Many people find themselves stuck in medical loops when they go through a medical intervention that only provides a temporary Band-Aid fix while leading to more health issues that require more medical inventions and medications. With a health system that cares more about profiting off pills and surgeries than finding long-term healing solutions, it's no surprise people find themselves in these loops they don't know how to get out of. Join us this week to find out the history of these med...
While Americans have spent the last few weeks fighting over the healthcare issue of abortion, our government has been working in the background on handing over ultimate control of America's health care system and national sovereignty over to the World Health Organization (WHO). This started in January of 2022 when officials from the Biden administration quietly sent the WHO extensive amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR).This week, these amendments will be voted on at the i...
Guys, we made it to 50 episodes! Before recording, we thought to ourselves - How do we make this one stand out? How do we make episode 50 truly SPECTACULAR? We dug up many of our favorite topics we've touched on and you can catch us reacting to our most Day 1 recordings, many of which have since been buried in the depths of the ether and are no longer available for streaming. When we started the podcast back in 2019, we had no idea where this journey would take us. The podcast has n...
Energy is what powers our everyday modern lives, from the gas we put in our cars, the electricity that powers our houses, and the fuel that transports our food. Society would collapse without it. So what do we do when gas prices increase at insane rates or, even worse, when the non-renewable energy sources run out?This week, we hosted David Ramsden-Wood on the show to discuss all things energy. With his background in oil and gas engineering, experience as the Co-Founder and COO of OneEnergy P...
Things... things. There are lots of things. But, typically, depending on what the media is focused on, there is always a "current thing". Even before the internet people have always been told to support the most "current thing" without question. But today with social media, it is easier than ever to show your support for the "current thing". From wearing a mask to posting a picture of your post vax to adding the Ukraine Flag in your bio. Because most people have good hearts, it makes for...
The Fake American Dream

The Fake American Dream

2022-03-1701:13:12

“If we aren’t being taught how to grow our own food, how to take care of ourselves and our families, how to live without the need for huge governments, banks, and corporations - as our ancestors once did - then we aren’t being educated; we’re being indoctrinated to be dependent and subservient to the system.” - Gavin Nascimento The “America Dream” means a lot of things to different people. But historically speaking, the American Dream meant creating your own self-sufficient life with lit...
2/22/22 was a significant date for many reasons. Not only was it the last date featuring all one repeating number that we'll get to see in our lifetime, but it is heavily correlated to this year's Pluto Return. After a mere 248 years, the planet Pluto is coming full circle (literally), and the last time it was in this exact position in orbit was the year 1776 - when the USA was established. At large, this year also represents when individual freedoms first existed worldwide. Regardless o...
John F. Kennedy, Patrice Lumumba, Diana Spencer, and Muammar Gaddafi all shared a common attribute. Although they influenced humanity from different geographical locations and periods, their revolutionary importance can be boiled down to one profound impact: their efforts to reveal institutional power. Yet, curiously, each of these individuals suffered intense deaths shortly after rising to peak levels of praise and admiration from the public. Modern history teaching touches on the events of ...
Living with Intention

Living with Intention

2022-01-2001:04:05

Intention and planning are often used interchangeably in our overachieving, hyper-focused, fast-paced world that we live in. But in reality, the two couldn’t be more different. As Americans, we plan a lot. The most significant difference between planning and being intentional is that planning is doing; while intention requires deep thought before any executive can occur. Planning has become so ingrained in our culture that we rarely take a step back to question why we do the things we do...
We did an episode on the "Great Reset" about a year ago. This was the very first time we had come across the topic and discovered the true agenda stemming from World Economic Forum. Since then, a lot has changed, more truth has been revealed, and our perspectives have broadened. Even though we seem to be moving faster and closer to the 2030 plan in less than a year, luckily, there seem to be even more awakened people this year, and the resistance is growing every day worldwide. Thus, it is cr...
Travis Scott's Astroworld was the scene of the crime of 10 deaths. Following this news, first-hand stories exploded across social media, with concert attendees posting their experiences directly to the world. We heard every explanation under the sun, from stampedes to cardiac arrests, to people being injected with needles, to even claims of this event feeling like actual hell. Yet, even with the abundance of these easily accessible first-hand accounts, the mainstream media and so-called "jour...
