We're diving deep into the sea of choices we navigate daily, from the personal to the political, and everywhere in between. We laughed, we pondered, and we might have even stirred the pot a bit – all in the name of growth, of course!
Our journey took us from the sunny shores of Hawaii to the heart of heated debates, touching on everything from health activism to the ever-polarizing world of politics. But hey, why choose between talking vaccines or vibing to the tune of environmental conservation?
We're all about embracing the full spectrum of conversation – the raw, the real, and the really complicated. Join us as we unpack the baggage of societal expectations, dance through the minefield of social media censorship, and maybe, just maybe, find that elusive common ground. Remember, it's not about picking sides; it's about opening minds and hearts. So, here's to becoming better versions of ourselves, one open-hearted chat at a time. Catch you on the flip side!
"And he was open-minded enough to listen to other sides and take in that information and be open-minded enough to explore it."

We’re here to make better choices consciously and truly understand the connection to our subconscious mind. We’re seeking the questions no one is daring to ask and are here to listen to answers with an open mind & loving heart - are you willing to do the same and help move the conversation forward?
