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.

If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more farm-level truths and herbal how-tos, and leave a review with the one insight you’re taking into your week.

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.

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.
