A Care Bear hoodie might not look like a doorway to transformation, but ours opened into a warm, candid journey through sisterhood, faith, and the kind of gardening that heals a heart. We invited Rachel—“Pretty Rachy,” the Dragonfly Princess—into a space where playful teasing gave way to the stories that shape us: a mother whose love is loud, a brother who refused to let a Christmas Eve invitation go, and a church home that feels like a bench where your people always save you a seat.

You’ll hear how stepping away from religion after hurt didn’t end the conversation with God, and how the way back arrived in boots and mittens—warming a car, packing a baby bag, clearing a snowy path. We talk about breath as prayer, Yahweh on the inhale and exhale, and the simple habits that change a day: whispering blessings when an ambulance goes by, asking for love when yours runs thin, and letting joy be the signpost that you’re on the right road. No pressure, no preaching—just a lived faith that’s steady, humble, and real.

The garden threads everything together. Seed saving becomes a lesson in abundance and reciprocity. We swap practical tips—how to test zinnias for cutting, why dividing dahlias is easier in spring, what hummingbirds actually visit—and dream up Friday night clipping sessions, bouquets with hemp, and a field that feeds more than the eye. Craft shows up in unexpected places: hand-painted nails that carry quiet ministry, macrame lessons with mom, and the holy permission to keep it simple. By the end, the theme is clear: show up for each other, water early, share seeds, and let love get loud.

If you’re craving an episode that feels like a front-porch evening—tender, funny, and full of useful wisdom—press play. And if it speaks to you, send it to someone who needs a little light, subscribe for more heart-forward conversations, and leave a review telling us what moment stayed with you.

A field full of fragrant buds, a hive on the brink, and a word that can change a life—redeemed. This episode moves from dirt-under-the-fingernails farm work to a clear-eyed push for smarter hemp laws in Wisconsin, then lands in the quiet power of faith, testimony, and music as service.

We start with harvest—the short, ecstatic window when hemp colas are ripe and resinous. Along the way, we unpack the endocannabinoid system in plain English and share real, practical ways people use plant medicine: oils, topicals, edibles, smokables. From there, we head to Milwaukee, where policymakers debate hemp-derived cannabinoid (HDC) rules. I share why the proposed three-tier alcohol-style model could crush small growers, and outline a better path: a tier zero exemption for farmers, streamlined testing and labeling, and a sensible direct-sales threshold that protects consumers without erasing farm-to-table operations. Forty states have moved forward; it’s time to stop treating Wisconsin like an island.

Back on the farm, winter prep is love made visible. Perennials move into the hoop house. Garlic cloves get bone meal and a tight tuck in raised beds. A lost beehive is carefully recovered from yellow jackets and mice, while the remaining colony gets mite treatment, wind guards, and sugar feed. Then the theme turns inward. Redeemed becomes a mantra—freedom from the power of sin, courage to begin again. A gifted study Bible arrives at just the right moment, a reminder that grace often wears a friend’s face. I invite you to share your testimony, because spoken truth heals the room.

Looking ahead, season two goes mobile to feature our “high vibe tribe”—family, healers, and retail partners doing good work in their communities. And I’m stepping into Free the Music Ministry to write honest, conscious songs that point to Jesus and honor the land. If you’re nearby, consider joining us at New Life Church in West Bend for worship that lingers in your week like a good refrain.

If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review—then tell me: what testimony are you ready to speak out loud today?

What happens when a ten-year-old leads his mom back to church? We sat down with Nixon for our very first interview, and what unfolds is a mix of kid joy, honest faith, and the kind of questions adults are often afraid to ask. From a viral “What’s up, my mammals?” moment at Disney’s Animal Kingdom to a preschool pastor who made Jesus feel close and kind, Nixon shows how curiosity can change a family’s path.

We share a short prayer, then wander through the real stuff: losing a beehive to hornets and cold, suiting up to tend the remaining colony, and finding calm with a healing balm after stings. Nixon opens up about school, youth football, memes, and why SpongeBob still wins Halloween. I talk about why hemp matters to me—how plant medicine, homestead life, and time outdoors align with purpose—and we balance it with a practical look at when pills help and when gentle remedies do the job. Along the way, we face a tender goodbye as a beloved teammate steps away to care for family, and we ask how to keep showing up when a piece of the heart goes missing.

The most moving moments are Nixon’s big God questions: Why send Jesus to die? Did God ever sin? What do floods and justice mean for us now? We don’t force neat answers. We hold space, listen, and let faith grow through wonder. If you’re drawn to family faith journeys, beekeeping basics, hemp wellness, or the daily grit of raising kids who love both math and memes, this one will feel like a warm ride home with the windows down.

If this conversation made you think or smile, tap follow, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. And if you loved Nixon’s energy, subscribe to his channel, Stay Cool—then tell us: what’s one question you’d ask God today?

Awe is a muscle, and harvest is our gym. With Sunshine away, I jumped back on the mic to share what’s blooming on the farm and what’s shifting in my heart: a sober-minded reset, a deeper reverence for God’s design, and a hands-on blueprint for turning plants into daily wellness. We start in the hemp rows, where fresh colas sparkle with milky trichomes and the lesson is simple—healing beats hype. I talk through why I set down THC, what a week of clarity feels like, and how hemp’s non-intoxicating cannabinoids can help you find balance without fog. From there, we widen the lens to seeds, gratitude, and the power of rewriting old scripts about this plant.

The moon gets a say too. Coming off the hunter’s moon and moving into the 10/10 portal, I break down how timing can be a tool: let go of what drags, speak out what draws you forward, and align action with intention. That’s exactly how our kitchen turned into a community apothecary. We dive into fire cider—its 1970s roots, why garlic, ginger, horseradish, peppers, and turmeric pack antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory punch, and how raw apple cider vinegar and honey turn all that into an immune and digestive tonic. I share the full process, easy dosing, and creative ways to use it daily, plus why shaking a jar for six weeks can be a prayer as much as a recipe.

Through it all runs a thread of faith and service: Ho’oponopono for presence, farmers markets for connection, and blends that pair hemp with mullein, mugwort, and lemon balm for synergy. If you’ve been curious about hemp without the high, eager to make your first folk remedy, or ready to line up your habits with the lunar calendar, this conversation puts real tools in your hands. If it resonates, subscribe, share with a friend who needs a nudge toward natural wellness, and leave a review to help more people find the high-vibe tribe.

A bright garden border turned into a teacher. We start by honoring Kelly’s loss and then follow a thread that runs from marigold folklore and calendula medicine to the everyday choices that shape our health, our farms, and our clarity. Marigold—Mary’s gold—steps out of the garden bed with real receipts: triterpenoids and flavonoids for inflamed skin, antimicrobial support for minor infections, carotenoids for eye health, and a place at the table as a vibrant, edible petal. We share simple, hands-on ways to work with it—garlands for drying, teas and salves for winter, and kitchen ideas that turn color into nourishment.

From there, we zoom out to cannabis in Wisconsin. THCA’s strange legal status exposes a bigger question: are we chasing the high at the expense of the plant’s full healing? We lay out the entourage effect in plain language, why isolates can distort expectations, and how overregulation risks erasing small farms and patient choice. The stance is clear: protect people, legalize sensibly, and let folks grow their own medicine.

This conversation also gets personal. After two years without alcohol and finishing the Bible, I chose to set THC aside and lean into hemp-only support—clarity over fog, presence over escape. That shift runs alongside real farm life: UW–Madison test plots, compliance testing, a late-planted field that taught us hard lessons, and farm tours that reconnect product to plant. It all rounds out with the rituals that hold a season together—self-care tools, canning tomatoes, and the small practices that make health feel local and real.

The endocannabinoid system might be the most important bodily system you've never heard of. Discovered only in the 1980s, this master operating system oversees all other functions in your body, yet it's often reduced to a single paragraph in medical textbooks. Why is something so crucial kept so quiet?

In this illuminating episode, we hold up a freshly harvested, sun-grown hemp cola to examine the profound difference between hemp and marijuana. While they share the same plant family, hemp contains 0.3% THC or less, offering all the medicinal benefits without the high. We explore how this misunderstood plant speaks directly to your endocannabinoid system, creating balance rather than intoxication.

We dive deep into the practical applications of hemp, from harvesting to processing. Learn how to properly dry your buds, make tinctures, infuse oils, and incorporate this versatile plant medicine into your daily wellness routine. We also discover chicory as another powerful plant ally with deep roots and cleansing properties—a perfect companion to hemp.

Perhaps most fascinating is our exploration of how cannabis potentially influences all chakra systems, suggesting this plant works on multiple levels: physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. This connection between our endocannabinoid system and energy centers reveals why hemp feels so balancing to many users.

Whether you're a cannabis enthusiast or simply curious about holistic wellness, this episode offers practical knowledge and spiritual insights about a plant that's been misunderstood for far too long. Join us in reclaiming this powerful ally and discovering how it might support your journey toward balanced wellbeing.

Have you ever experienced a moment when help arrives at exactly the right time? When the universe conspires to bring you exactly what you need? That's exactly what happened when Sunshine and Bubbles found themselves knee-deep in a honey extraction fiasco.

This episode takes you on a journey through the sticky world of beekeeping as we share our triumphant honey extraction story featuring a surprise hero - Uncle Dave - who appeared with exactly the tool we needed at precisely the right moment. You'll hear about our adventures with infusing honey with medicinal herbs like turmeric, ginger, and garlic, creating natural remedies right from our backyard.

We don't sugarcoat the challenges either. From discovering a decimated beehive to getting stung near the eye during a sound bowl session, working with nature comes with its painful lessons. But these moments also reveal the resilience that grows when we stay connected to the natural world around us. Our monarch butterfly raising and releasing experiences highlight the magic that happens when we slow down and witness nature's transformations.

The conversation shifts to family life as we discuss our recent "screen detox" experiment with our children. Removing TVs, gaming consoles, and YouTube has created space for genuine connection through board games, creative play, and meaningful conversations. This digital disconnection has brought unexpected joy and productivity to our households - something many families might benefit from trying.

We wrap up by exploring the remarkable medicinal properties of echinacea (coneflower), a common garden plant with extraordinary immune-boosting capabilities. Could the natural medicine you need be growing right outside your door? Listen and find out how this beautiful perennial might become your new plant ally.
