Taboo Enlightened

Just Amber and Aaron sitting down talking about how music has effected their lives and how it helped at certain times in their lives.

Happy New Year! 

I hope you are kicking the year off with good food, good drinks, and good company. 

We are back after a little snag over the holiday. We're fine, just internet-less for almost a week due to a winter storm (*gasp, I know).

In this episode Amber and Aaron talk about Pedophilia, imprinting, and racism.  Some unexpected conversation happened, which is the goal of this podcast! 

Amber and Aaron talk about addiction on this episode. From statistics to personal life experience and treatment statistics.

Here are some links to experts in the drug and addiction field speaking on the topic:
(yes I'm aware we link a lot of Joe Rogan podcasts...who else is interviewing experts?!)

You can do hard things.

Epigenetic research is fascinating.  Even though the research is in its infancy, we seem to be learning that changing gene expression is possible in some cases. Could positive mindset really be a key factor in our health? It seems like it's possible in some cases.

OBVIOUSLY, Amber and Aaron are not doctors or researchers, and you should always verify anything with your medical team. And of course there are plenty of disabled people who can't physically just decide to walk; it doesn't work like that. And it for sure doesn't mean flare ups and bad days suddenly go away. But it seems like some people could really see a positive gain from changing the the environment of the cells.

Here are some links to the ACTUAL doctors and researchers!

Is laughter the best medicine for our society? ...I mean, probably... Aaron and Amber talk about their thoughts on comedy. At the end Amber reveals an upcoming project!

Thank you for listening! Enjoy the ride!

Dive in with us to break down the meaning of the yin yang symbol and the natural ebb and flow of the universe. And meet our new cat Sugar!

The symbol started as just an idea! Throughout time, drawings were altered to create the symbol we now know as the yin yang and every part of the developed world knows what it means in their culture!

We used the following sources to learn about this universal symbol:

Alan Watts video on youtube
Tea Time Taoism with George Thompson video on youtube
Chasing gods podcast and article you can find here

What is restorative agriculture? Can it really turn back global warming? What changes could we be making?

Find out all this and more by joining us in today's episode!

Restorative farming is really about working with nature instead of against it. We had to learn the hard way back in 1930 during the dust bowl, and now history is repeating itself. Only this time it's on a larger scale. Will we change our ways before it's too late?! I truly hope so.


A special thank you to our sources!

A very special thank you to Rose at Wholesome Roots! Rose really ignited my love of soil, giving back into the Earth, and homesteading! She is a great teacher and has many videos you can find here!

Joe Rogan and Joel Salatin- I encourage everyone to take a listen to this episode!

Gabe Brown has so much insight on regenerative agriculture. He has gone through trial and error and learned so much along the way. He runs a very successful farm business and created Soil Health Academy, which is a non profit that teaches people how to farm using these methods and why it is so important that we do so. This interview was full of great information!

From the Ground Up is another great short video on regenerative farming!

This video has great information on regenerative agriculture and how it can make a very positive impact on climate change!

Kiss the Ground is a great documentary that can be found on Netflix! 

Thank you to all of our listeners! We appreciate each and every one of you so much!

This one is a rough episode. Religious groups have done a lot of awful things to people who are different than them.
We start off talking about the Indigenous children's remains recently found in Canada, then how the US did the same $hit, the holocaust, qanon, the witch trials, westboro baptist church, and a priest that was just jailed that is related to one of us.
