In this episode we're continuing our series, Woo-woo or Woo-hoo, and we're talking about the practice of forest bathing/grounding/earthing. We're answering the questions, what is it, what's the difference, and is it all a bunch of woo-woo or does it deserve a woo-hoo?

Is it possible for us to create our own reality with just the power of our thoughts or is it all a bunch of woo-woo? In this, our third episode in the Woo-woo Or Woo-hoo series, we'll be tackling this question by talking all about the phenomena of manifesting and deciding if it's woo-woo or woo-hoo.

Meditation is not new to the scene of both the areas of religion and self-care, but is it just a bunch of woo-woo, or can it actually make us better?  In this episode we explore that and more including our spicy takes on the "He Gets Us" campaign. 

We are kicking off a new series, Woo-woo or Woo-hoo where we will be talking about different practices, ideas, and topics and discuss whether they're nothing more than a bunch of woo-woo or whether they're worth considering and implementing into our lives. Our first topic is revisiting our conversation about deconstruction one year later- where we are now, what's changed, what hasn't and whether the buzzword that is "deconstruction" is woo-woo or woo-hoo.

It's time to celebrate because the Live Your Freakin' Life podcast turns 1 this week! In this episode we talk all about how this last year podcasting has changed us, some of our favorite episodes, favorite feedback from listeners, and which episodes made our hands sweat as we clicked "publish". 

Check out what exciting things are coming for season 2 of the Live Your Freakin' Life podcast!
