In this episode of the Black Sheep Podcast, we dig into the lockdown in Nova Scotia that banned hiking, fishing, hunting, and more under the guise of wildfire prevention. At the same time, the government lifted a 15-year ban on uranium exploration in the very same forests now off-limits to citizens. We connect the dots between pandemic emergency powers and the new climate emergency narrative, asking who really benefits from these restrictions. From massive fines to social pressure, we unpack the same old playbook of control and fear, and why Canadians need to pay attention now.

In this episode of the Black Sheep Podcast, we sit down with Ajax, a Sudanese refugee who came to Canada 25 years ago. Ajax shares his family’s powerful story of escaping war, rebuilding life in Canada, and navigating what “home” means today. We dive into immigration, cultural identity, housing, healthcare, gang activity, and how Canada’s values have shifted over time. This is a raw, unfiltered conversation about safety, assimilation, and the future of Canada.

Ever dreamed of fresh eggs, raw milk, and golden sunsets on your own little slice of paradise? In this episode, we share the raw, unfiltered truth about starting and running a small farm. From early mornings and unexpected storms to livestock escapes, predator attacks, and costly lessons, we pull back the curtain on the realities of homesteading. You’ll hear the wins, the losses, the expensive mistakes, and the surprising ways farming changes you. Whether you’re curious about self-sufficiency, thinking of buying land, or just love a good behind-the-scenes story, this is the no-BS guide to what we wish we knew before starting a farm.

Big Dairy Doesn’t Want You to Hear This

In this episode of Black Sheep, we light the metaphorical pipe and crack open a messy, unfiltered convo about the pros and cons of therapy, where it works, where it absolutely doesn’t, and all the weird in-betweens. One host is literally a therapist. The other’s married to her and definitely didn’t ask for free therapy every day of his life, but gets it anyway.

We talk about:

• Therapy vs. coaching vs. ChatGPT vs. your friend who means well but gives terrible advice.

• The emotional gymnastics of growing up in the 80s, 90s, or early 2000s.

• Over-pathologizing everything, from childhood sadness to puberty-induced existential dread.

• What happens when therapists haven’t done their own healing (spoiler: it shows).

• Why experience > degrees, and how wisdom is born through doing the damn work.

• Pharmaceutical quick fixes and the dangerous myth of the “chemical imbalance.”

• Real talk on values, emotional self-reliance, and reclaiming your healing.

Whether you’ve spent years on a therapist’s couch or you’re just starting to peel off the mask you didn’t know you were wearing, this one’s for you.

The True Cost of Convenience: From Fluoride to Factory Chicken

In this raw and fired-up episode, we’re pulling the curtain back on the modern food system and asking the question nobody wants to answer: what are you actually eating? From nicotine pouches and parasite cleanses to factory-farmed meat and backyard chickens, we unpack how convenience culture has wrecked our health, hijacked our priorities, and disconnected us from the land. We talk perimenopause, chicken tractors, why our tomatoes taste like dirt (spoiler: they are dirt), and why your “Canadian” chicken might be Brazilian. We’re not just ranting, we’re living it. This is your invitation to think, feel, and farm a little deeper.

In this episode, we answer your raw, vulnerable, and beautifully honest questions about long-term relationships. We get into the real stuff, like what happens when you're both changing, how to keep intimacy alive, and whether marriage still makes sense in today’s world.

We talk about:

• What we wish we knew before getting married

• The fear of outgrowing each other

• How to navigate change inside a relationship

• The biggest myths about love and commitment

• Why some of the best relationships are built, not found

This isn’t a “how to get it right” episode. It’s an honest look at what it means to evolve together, and what happens when you don’t.

Another uncensored campfire over at The Black Sheep HQ. Jen and Jess trade the politics of last week for the politics of the psyche, ripping into mirror work, projection, and why your partner’s annoying habits are probably dragging a wounded part of you into the light. We wander from Nirvana nostalgia to a full-tilt rant on social media freeloaders, detour through chicken-poop etiquette on the homestead, and land in the hard truth that kids, spouses, and strangers online are all holding up glass, whether you want to look or not. Raw stories, salty language, and just enough practical reflection tools to make therapy blush. Grab headphones, preferably away from impressionable ears, and let’s get uncomfortable in all the right ways.
