Perseverance stands as the cornerstone of hemp farming and advocacy. When faced with regulatory hurdles, market uncertainty, and lingering stigma, what keeps farmers and entrepreneurs moving forward? This question drives our conversation as we unpack the meaning of persistence in an industry still fighting for its rightful place in American agriculture.

We're excited to share insights from the US Hemp Roundtable, where farmers across America are uniting their voices to create meaningful change. The current system of annual testing requirements and restrictive THC thresholds (0.3%) threatens entire crops and discourages farmer participation. Through organized advocacy, we're pushing for sensible regulations that recognize hemp's potential as a climate-smart commodity and valuable rotation crop. As we say in the episode: "If not me, then who? And if not now, then when?"

Our discussion highlights the remarkable resilience of the hemp plant itself – growing in diverse conditions, requiring minimal water, and possessing natural pest resistance through its cannabinoid production. We draw parallels between the plant's determination to thrive and the persistence required of those working to build this industry. We also challenge misconceptions about cannabis cultivation, championing sun-grown organic methods that honor how nature intended this plant to flourish.

Beyond hemp, we discover another example of natural perseverance in purslane – a nutritious "weed" that grows in the most challenging conditions yet offers impressive health benefits. These botanical lessons remind us that resilience surrounds us if we simply pay attention. Whether you're a farmer, entrepreneur, parent, or simply curious about plant medicine, this episode offers perspective on staying the course when facing obstacles and trusting the process of growth – both personal and agricultural.

Discover the healing wisdom hiding in plain sight as we delve into the remarkable properties of milk thistle—that prickly plant you've likely stepped on but never considered medicine. Learn how this often-overlooked herb supports liver health, aids in detoxification, and even helps nursing mothers with milk production. The plant's Latin name, Silybum marianum, reveals its connection to powerful compounds while its thorny exterior and medicinal interior symbolize the balance of protection and vulnerability we all navigate.

Meanwhile, our farm has transformed into a monarch butterfly sanctuary where we're witnessing the miraculous process of metamorphosis. From tiny eggs to hungry caterpillars to gold-flecked chrysalises, these creatures offer profound lessons about transformation and trusting life's processes. With only one in ten monarch eggs surviving in nature, our conservation efforts feel especially meaningful as we prepare for their incredible migration to Mexico.

Between abundant herb harvests, hemp advocacy work, and preparations for back-to-school season, we're finding moments to ground ourselves in nature's rhythms. There's something magical about recognizing that the plants often dismissed as "weeds" contain powerful medicine—a reminder that healing and wisdom surround us if we simply slow down enough to notice.

Ever wondered what happens when two self-described "wild earth mamas" decide to guide you through a crystal sound bowl meditation? The answer is pure magic, transformation, and a whole lot of heart-centered wisdom.

Sunshine and Bubbles (Ashley Kelly) invite you into their sacred sound healing space where ancient techniques meet modern stress relief. Through the resonant tones of chakra-tuned crystal bowls, they create a journey that's part meditation, part energy alignment, and part spiritual pep talk for your week ahead.

The session moves through different energy centers – beginning with the heart chakra where walls are gently dissolved, then to the sacral chakra for awakening creativity, and finally to the third eye to strengthen intuition. Throughout, their gentle guidance reminds us of profound truths: that we're divinely loved, that our creative power is immense, and that intentionality shapes our reality.

What makes this episode special isn't just the beautiful sounds (though they'll certainly transport you), but the authentic wisdom shared between tones. From reminders about forgiveness ("Feel the feels, just don't stay there") to reflections on parenting ("Your best work out there in the wild"), Sunshine and Bubbles weave practical spirituality with genuine warmth.

The session concludes with a beautiful Ho'oponopono practice and the simplest yet most powerful advice: share your smile, it's contagious. Whether you're seeking chakra alignment, stress relief, or simply a moment of peace in a chaotic world, this sound healing journey offers a touchstone to return to whenever you need to remember that "everything's going to be all right."
