Today my sister Emily and I talk with Didi Pershouse, who is the Founder of the Center for Sustainable Medicine as well as the Land and Leadership Initiative, and the President of the Soil Carbon Coalition. Her most prominent book, "The Ecology of Care: Medicine, Agriculture, Money, and the Quiet Power of Human and Microbial Communities" speaks on the health of the planet, and how it relates to our own health and well being. We speak on climate change, issues in the health care system, the impact soil has on everything, and how we can implement meaningful change. Didi is a beautifully positive individual who has done so much work across the world and continues to educate on soil, the health of the planet, and how to better live in harmony with each other and ourselves.

Talking with Registered Psychotherapist Nicholas Balaisis on mens mental health issues, toxic masculinity, relationship health, and sex. Coming from a Jungian Psychoanalyst background, Nicholas has a great take on some of the most pressing questions we as men can ask ourselves, as well as how we can be good partners and figure out who we are/what we want. I feel like these conversations aren't just for men though, I think it would do everyone some good to take a glimpse into another perspective that you cannot fully understand and appreciate, and to use that perspective to give more clarity and compassion to what we as humans from all walks of life go through.

If you would like to book therapy and get in touch with Nicholas, here is the link to his practice: https://www.psychologytoday.com/ca/therapists/nicholas-jacob-balaisis-kitchener-on/720524

Talking with author, former Project Censored Director, and retired Sociology Professor at Sonoma University in California Peter Phillips. We talk primarily about his profound and eyeopening book, "Giants The Global Power Elite" which sheds light on the issues within a capitalist system that is leading to more and more wealth and resource inequality every day. We talk about the issues within mainstream media, BLM and other populist protest movements, globalization, private military and endless wars, and most importantly, the ways in which we can create change at both an individual and collective level. I loved this conversation and the chance to speak to such an amazing and brave individual, I highly suggest that listeners go beyond just this podcast and read his book, as well as subscribe to Project Censored which is a non-profit media watchdog organization telling the real stories of whats going on that isn't aired by mainstream media. Enjoy!

Building off our first discussion we talk deeply about what it means to be authentic, how to find balance in ourselves and the world, synchronicities and dreams, and the power of compromise!

Speaking today with writer, journalist, editor and longtime contributer for the Washington Post, Tom Shroder. Speaking specifically on one of his books, "Acid Test" we go over the history of psychedelics, and the modern day breakthroughs in the research and theraputic world regarding them. We also discuss another of his books "Old Souls" in which Tom travelled around the world with world renowned scientist Dr. Ian Stevenson, documenting stories of reincarnation in a variety of cultures. I highly recommend his books and hope conversations like this can further change the way we view psychedelics, skepticism, and the way we view things in which we cannot fully understand. 

In such a polarized political and social climate my hope is to shed some light on whats been going on, specifically in the United States. I am incredibly passionate about politics and philosophy so I would love to get a discussion going about it, and maybe help someone better understand the intricacies of politics currently.

A conversation about our lives and the struggles we face and have overcome, importance of conversation and open dialogue, issues within the school system, and cultural topics such as OnlyFans and generalizations. This is a little different from other podcasts I've done, in the sense that it's much more of a free flowing conversation where we talk about anything and everything and get very personal. Hope you enjoy, and excited for your feedback!

A conversation going deeper into our relationships, both healthy and toxic, recognizing our self worth, and understanding who we are and what we deserve. Diana is a life reinvention coach who has impacted the lives of many, specifically those getting out, or looking to get out of toxic relationships. Her slogan, "Wake up. Stand up. Live Free." is both powerful and positive and hopefully this conversation can help someone struggling or help someone better communicate their needs with a partner. Her book, "Me and My Shadow" can be found on amazon, and her site is http://www.redthornsolutions.com/About-Us.html
