We're pulling back the curtain on the greenwashing taking place all around us. What happens when "clean" brands are bought out by major corporations? Do you know where your compost really comes from? Can certified organic produce actually be trusted? Let's talk about it.

When we first experienced the powerful effects of detoxing through diet, we knew we could never go back to eating the way we always had. Join us for this conversation about how our bodies have responded to short-term elimination protocols and how it has transformed our perspective on food for good.

Until we moved out to seven acres in the country, we did not realize how pervasively our mindsets had been shaped by the decades we spent in suburbia. In this conversation, we talk through our process of unraveling the habits that existed in our lives in the suburbs.

In a society that continually tells us to strive for ever-increasing material gain, we have embraced a different way of life. Choosing to live intentionally small with a large family certainly comes with challenges, but the benefits we have experienced far outweigh any obstacles. Our family's strong bond and the opportunities for character development make this lifestyle one we wouldn't trade.

Our initial journey into homesteading was based in a desire to change the way we were currently living. Over time, we have begun to look further into the future of our homestead— how we will age here, protecting our long-term health, and considering the tangible and intangible inheritance we will leave for future generations.

Since we have been on a years-long journey of producing our own food, we have learned how much intentionality is required to live this way. When you can't run to the grocery store every time you run out of an ingredient, you have to plan ahead. Listen in as we discuss how we approach planning for an entire year's worth of food consumption.

When our eyes were opened to the pervasive problems in our modern food system — factory-farmed meat, chemical-laden produce, unnatural preservatives and additives — we couldn't look away. In this episode, we are taking a look at our family's food journey over the last decade and sharing why we prioritize sourcing the highest quality food for our family.

Artificial intelligence is becoming ubiquitous in the world around us. We have a choice: will we unplug and refuse to engage with AI? Or will we embrace it?
