Meet Liz Haselmayer. She has a nourished family, living on hunted game, homeschooling, running small businesses, and leaning into the Lord's calling.

Two years ago she wanted a way to teach her girls about real food, food freedom, and the beauty that comes with nourishing ourselves well. Unfortunately, there was nothing out there.

Liz believes conventional nutrition education based on the USDA MyPlate food guidelines (a revised version of the food pyramid) is incredibly one-sided, outdated, non-descriptive, and poorly designed. In order to teach her girls the truths about important topics like saturated fats, raw dairy, grains, and more, she decided to create a resource on her own. She took her cues from the most well-respected experts in the real food nutrition world including the Weston A. Price Foundation, Lily Nichols, RDN, Holistic Nutritionists, and the works of many others.

Cynthia speaks with Sebastien Falardeau today on the topic of Grief. So many seem to be grieving these days. It could be a loss of a loved one, an acquaintance, a way of life, a job, a friendship...it can all be overwhelming. It's very important to have tools at this time to work though grief. As you will hear Sebastien say "Action, not time, heals."

Cynthia is so happy to bring to you her conversation with Peter Bouteneff on his book How to Be a Sinner.

Cynthia talks with Fr. John Vlahos today about how we, as living icons, should be relating to others. What does this look like?
