How many of you bristle at the mere mention of the word surrender? I know I did for most of my life. I equated it with giving up or giving in. In this episode we reframe surrender as an act that reflects our self-worth and self-trust. When we aren’t surrendering, we’re resisting, we’re fighting uncertainty and trying to control our reality. Our higher selves know this is a fool’s errand, but our nervous systems still attempt to control in order to keep ourselves safe. We both share our personal journeys to the path of surrender, and how allowing instead of controlling has upleveled how we show up in the world. We also unpack how surrender shows up in a healthy romantic relationship with an intact masculine/feminine polarity. Surrendering to doing hard things, building willpower, and how this process ends up serving you is how we end the episode. This has been one of the episodes we are most proud of to date!

With all of the conflict affecting the world right now, in typical fashion, we dive right into the depths. What is evil and how does it manifest in our world? We don’t claim to be experts on geopolitical affairs, but merely present our views on what could have gotten humans to the place to want to murder each other to begin with. Is humankind inherently good or bad? Is anyone truly irredeemable? Does spirituality mean we are all one? Is it luxury to view the world without evil? Who are we to even judge?

You think you've seen us riled up? Wait until you hear us dissect the modern American diet. *sigh* We dive into how diet culture and body positivity can be both helpful and harmful, and what we would like to see instead that actually empowers folks to feel connected to their bodies. In more counter-culture news- gluten is not the problem. Yep, we said it. We talk about convenience food, being connected to where our food comes from, and how a healthy diet isn’t so complicated, no matter what we are being sold. And lastly, a good big ole soapbox on modern beef production. Stick around to the end to hear our encouraging remarks on how you can change these systems in the microcosm of your own body.
