One late night in Chicago turns into a surprisingly deep reset. After dancing our faces off at a Satsang show, I come home tired but lit up, and I start pulling on the thread of why live music can feel like medicine. It’s not just the venue or the merch or the “hope dealer” energy, it’s what happens when a community shares a frequency and you remember you’re allowed to feel joy.

From there, I get real about conscious music and why intentional lyrics matter. Satsang’s blend of hip hop, reggae, and high-vibrational songwriting opens the door to a bigger conversation about faith and the boldness of pointing the spotlight back to God. If what we consume shapes what we carry, then the music we play on repeat is spiritual input, emotional input, and mental health input all at once.

Then we go straight into James 3:5–10 and the power of the tongue. I talk about how small phrases can plant seeds, how words can set a whole forest on fire, and how mindful speech becomes even more important when election season gets heavy. Finally, I share what’s on my heart about the Wisconsin hemp ban, cannabis legalization, and the future I want for farmers, small businesses, and families who need natural options.

Wisconsin waited decades for this kind of sports moment, and when the Brewers finally take the World Series, the celebration turns into something surprisingly personal. I’m sharing the joy of a hometown win, what it feels like to watch an underdog story unfold in real time, and why the phrase “we won our way” made me stop and think about grit, character, and the kind of confidence that doesn’t come from money or hype. If you love Wisconsin sports, community stories, or simply need a shot of optimism, this one brings that energy. 

What really moved me is how openly several players gave glory to God in interviews and on the field. We talk about faith in public spaces, the courage it takes to name Jesus when you know criticism is coming, and how one act of testimony can plant seeds in people you’d never expect. I also share a scripture that frames competition and life with a steadier mindset: the Lord is my helper, so I don’t have to live in fear. 

Then the conversation shifts from cheering to serving. I walk through a morning volunteering with Franciscan Peacemakers in Milwaukee, a nonprofit doing street-level outreach and providing support for women facing homelessness, addiction, and the aftermath of exploitation and abuse. We get into why “women helping women” is more than a slogan, and how small acts of service can restore dignity and hope. 

Finally, I give a clear update on the Wisconsin hemp industry, the coming December 11 hemp ban, new total THC rules, and why DNA Hemp is facing major e-commerce hurdles with credit card processing. If you care about hemp wellness, small business realities, cannabis policy, or the endocannabinoid system, you’ll hear exactly what’s changing and what I’m doing next.

A bar full of people raising their hands in worship feels like a plot twist, until you realize how hungry we all are for peace and connection. We’re recording from the farm with kittens underfoot, sunshine overhead, and a simple challenge that sets the tone: get outside, ground down, and remember what’s free love, faith, and the chance to start again.

We open up about what it means to live “free” through salvation and to quiet the swirl of anxiety by returning to God’s Word. A passage from Luke 10 reframes everything: peace is not just a vibe, it’s your home base. When peace lands, you stay and build. When it doesn’t, you shake off the dust and keep moving until you find your yes.

Then we tell the story of a Christian worship event at Sheryl’s Club 175 with DJ J Bird bringing Christian house music to a space many people only knew for drinking. The turnout, the conversations, and the “revival energy” spark bigger dreams: writing a Christian song (even exploring AI music tools), inviting live instruments, and imagining a full Christian music festival with sermons, creators, and even outdoor baptisms. We also share the next date November 22 plus a simple way to serve together by bringing a non-perishable item for a local food pantry, and we get honest about trusting God through a hard moment in the hemp business.

A tambourine, a Packers win, and a Sunday that felt almost unreal somehow turned into a bigger question: what happens when we stop keeping faith locked inside “church walls” and let it show up in real life? We’re coming off the electrifying Packers Bears game at Lambeau Field, where family time, loud joy, and a no-shame noisemaker reminded me how music and rhythm can carry a whole room.

From there, I share what’s been on my heart: a worship session at Sheryl’s Club 175 on Sunday, October 18 from 2 to 4 p.m. Yes, a bar. We talk about the disconnect so many of us feel between our spiritual life and our everyday workplaces, why discomfort can be part of discipleship, and how Matthew 18:20 reframes everything: where two or three gather in Jesus’ name, he’s there. If you’ve ever carried church hurt, felt unsure where you belong, or wondered if God would meet you where you are, this is for you.

You’ll also hear how DJ J Bird stepped in with a vision called Our Father’s House, blending Christian worship lyrics with house-style energy, plus a few personal moments that feel like small miracles and nudges to “try something new.” If this sparks something in you, subscribe, share this with a friend who needs hope, and leave a review so more people can find it. What would it look like for you to take one brave step this week?

I almost talked myself out of recording because the weather was too perfect to stay inside, so I carried the setup out to the farm and let the day lead. What starts with a simple tongue drum and a few deep breaths turns into a grounded harvest season story, where organic carrots become a teacher. I talk through the very real gardening lessons: why thinning seedlings matters, how you can accidentally “sprinkle seeds like glitter,” and what it feels like to pull a five-gallon bucket of carrots from the soil and share the bounty with friends and family.

From there, we move into herbal remedies and plant medicine, with a special focus on holy basil, also known as Tulsi. I share why I love it as a beginner-friendly herb, how I dry and preserve herbs at home, and why adaptogens are often described as supporting balance in the body. I also reflect on cannabis as part of an herbal journey and why relationship and dosage matter, not just recommendations from someone else.

The deeper thread is listening. I contrast quick, reactive “treat and prescribe” health care with the slower, more intentional work of nature connection, plant energy, and learning to trust what your body is telling you. That listening also brings me to faith and scripture, including words from 2 Timothy about power, love, and self-discipline, plus an invitation to support your local farmers market and find a church community where you can grow over time. If you want a mix of gardening, holistic health, and spiritual encouragement that feels real, press play, then subscribe, share, and leave a review so more people can find it.

A jar of apple cider vinegar doesn’t look like hope, until you pack it with horseradish, ginger, turmeric, garlic, onion, hot peppers, citrus, healing herbs, and raw honey and let time do its work. We’re sharing why we’re so excited about homemade fire cider, how we made it as a “fire cider and fellowship” night with friends and family, and how this old-school herbal remedy fits into real-life wellness. You’ll hear the exact ingredient ideas we used, why parchment paper matters under the lid, how long to infuse it, and the easiest ways to take it so it actually becomes part of your daily routine for immune support, digestion, and cold and flu season.

Then the tone shifts to something deeper. We talk about saying goodbye to our friend Emerald, the gift of closure at her funeral, and one message that stayed with us: “Jesus wept.” It’s a reminder that grief is human, tears are holy, and faith meets us where we are. We also share a powerful example of community care through a memorial car show benefit that brought people together and raised $5,000 for Emerald’s daughter, Sammy Joe.

To close, we give a quick update on plant-based body care, including our new ultra-creamy full-spectrum hemp lotion made with sun-grown organic hemp and packed with cannabinoids for pain, inflammation, mood support, and deeply moisturized skin, plus where to buy it locally and online.

Grief can hollow you out, then ask you to show up anyway. Ashley Amber comes back from a needed break with a tender, unfiltered reflection on losing a dear friend and coworker, the weight of an upcoming funeral, and the strange mix of heartbreak and gratitude that follows. We talk about what it means to face the darkness without letting it define you, and how community support can feel like “angels” showing up through neighbors, coworkers, loved ones, and even a butterfly in nature.

We zoom in on faith as something you practice, not something you pose with. The story of David and Goliath becomes a reminder that God’s promises often come with real preparation, real mountains, and a faith that gets tested. Worship music becomes a lifeline, with songs and simple refrains that interrupt spiraling thoughts and bring us back to a steady mind. We also share a gentle challenge: use your voice, even if you think it’s small, because it isn’t about performance, it’s about obedience and love.

Then we shift into herbalism and plant medicine with a deep dive on goldenrod (Solidago), an abundant wild plant with a bright signature and practical uses. We connect confidence-building “I am” affirmations to the solar plexus, explain easy ways to work with goldenrod as tea, tincture, or topical, and talk about supporting your body while you’re healing your heart. The conversation also names sobriety, the cost of alcohol culture, and what it looks like to rewrite the script with clearer choices, better inputs, and spaces centered on connection.

A song about rest opens the door, and then the truth lands hard: two lives, Emerald and Eric, were gone in a tragic motorcycle crash that happened in minutes. We’re still stunned, still grieving, and still trying to make sense of how fast a normal night can turn into a 2:30 AM phone call you never forget. If you’ve ever lost someone suddenly, you’ll recognize the swirl of emotion: heartbreak, anger, guilt, and the exhausting loop of “if only.” 

We also talk about what helps when answers don’t come. For us, that means faith and community, even in places people don’t expect to find it. We wrestle with the idea of “hallelujah even here,” not as denial, but as a choice to reach for peace while our hearts are cracked open. Along the way, we address social media speculation, why it can hurt families and friends, and what it looks like to respond with compassion instead of noise. 

This story is also a sobering reminder about motorcycle safety: speed, helmets, and the power of speaking up when something feels unsafe. We honor Emerald’s legacy as a listener and a helper, from years at Sheryl’s Club 175 to her work doing nails and holding space for people one conversation at a time. We close with Psalm 23 for anyone walking through the valley, plus ways our community can support Emerald’s daughter and show up for each other with real care.

You ever hear a lyric that feels like it was written straight for your life? I can’t shake Ben Fuller’s “Jesus Loves You, Black Sheep,” and it opens the door to a bigger question: what if the parts of you that feel “different” aren’t a flaw, but a calling. I share my own story from wild teenage choices and a party-heavy season into the steady work of faith, forgiveness, and learning to live with purpose even when I’m misunderstood. If you’ve carried regret or felt like the outsider in your friend group, I want you to hear this clearly: grace is still for you. 

From there, I connect the black sheep theme to bold women who broke the mold, including Dolly Parton and the way songs like “Coat of Many Colors,” “Jolene,” and “9 to 5” still speak to confidence, grit, and authenticity. I also recap a powerful night at Beats for Heartbeats at Washington County Fair Park, including meeting Coin A, Sanctus Real, and Ben Fuller, and why something as simple as a real hug can feel like ministry. We talk community, showing up, and why worship is sometimes the bravest thing you can do in public. 

I also get practical about Wisconsin hemp and cannabis education, the confusion that still surrounds hemp vs marijuana, and why the endocannabinoid system matters when you’re trying to understand how this plant supports the body. I shout out the Rooted in Wisconsin cannabis festival, then close with a grounding, release-focused reflection on eclipse energy and the anchor verse I’m holding onto, Ephesians 3:20: God can do super abundantly more than we dare to ask or think.

A lake day with frizzy “Lake Hair Don’t Care” energy turns into something deeper: a real-time practice of gratitude, presence, and letting the best moments actually count while they’re happening. I share the little things that make summer feel like heaven, from tubing laughs to the surprisingly meaningful question we asked the kids: if you were a mermaid, what color would your tail be?

Then the tone shifts into parenting and surrender when my kids take over the podcast and I have to step back, stop managing, and let them be fully themselves. That experience cracks open the bigger theme I can’t stop coming back to: walking by faith, not by flesh. I break down what I’m learning from Galatians and Hebrews, why striving and overthinking drain our joy, and how choosing a supernatural mindset can look painfully practical in everyday life.

That practicality shows up fast when I get pulled over for going 8 mph over on the way to the 2026 UW Madison Hemp Research Field Day in Arlington, Wisconsin. From there we dive into Wisconsin hemp research, hemp genetics, cover crops, nitrogen trials, sensor-based crop data, pathology and disease resistance, and why traits like purple hemp flower (anthocyanins) matter in the real market. We also talk candidly about the Wisconsin hemp ban conversation, seed banks, total THC testing, the THCA loophole, and what’s missing most: clear cannabis education and processing infrastructure for industrial hemp fiber and grain. If you care about plant medicine, regenerative agriculture, or the endocannabinoid system, this one’s for you.
