Jess and Jen, married and homesteading. Like most of the listeners we are black sheep in many different ways. Not ones to follow the collective mindset or herd mentality. We will be discussing anything we want from psychedelics, the LGBTQ agenda, the matrix, regenerative farming, homesteading, the plandemic, healing/spirituality, parenting and anything else we f*****g feel like. We might even bring on some wicked people we know to discuss and debate. Triggered easily? Move the f**k on, this isn’t for you.

    Perimenopause: A Rite of Passage into the Wise Woman

    What if perimenopause wasn’t just something to survive, but a powerful rite of passage into a new version of ourselves? In this solo episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, I’m sharing my personal journey through early menopause, the challenges of navigating a medical system that often leaves women feeling unheard, and the profound physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual transformations that come with this transition. Perimenopause is so much more than fluctuating hormones. It’s a time of shifting identity, changing nervous system needs, and an invitation to reconnect with our bodies in a deeper way. We explore how chronic stress, nervous system dysregulation, and lifestyle factors can influence our experience of this transition, along with practical ways to support ourselves through nutrition, movement, rest, self-care, and nervous system regulation. We also dive into the spiritual significance of this rite of passage: the transition into the archetype of the Crone, the Wise Woman. A season of reclaiming our sovereignty, honouring our changing bodies, and stepping into a new level of wisdom, authenticity, and personal power. This isn’t about fighting aging or trying to become who we once were. It’s about learning how to support the woman we are becoming. Because menopause isn’t the end of our vitality. It’s the beginning of a new relationship with ourselves. 🎙️ Join me for an honest, empowering conversation about navigating this transition with greater awareness, compassion, and sovereignty.

    When the World Feels Unrecognizable: AI, 9/11, & Leading with the Heart

    The world is changing—fast. So how do we stay human in the middle of it? In this episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, Jen and Jess sit down for a wide-ranging conversation about some of the events and questions shaping the cultural moment: the rapid acceleration of artificial intelligence, the Allison Inquiry, reflections around the anniversary of 9/11, and the one-year anniversary of Charlie Kirk’s death. But underneath all of these conversations is a bigger question: As technology becomes more powerful and the world becomes increasingly complex, what parts of our humanity do we need to protect? We explore the tension between incredible technological advancement and our deeply human need for connection, intuition, compassion, community and heart-led leadership. AI may be able to process more information than we ever could—but information and wisdom aren’t necessarily the same thing. Maybe the future isn’t about rejecting technology or surrendering ourselves to it. Maybe it’s about finding the balance. Using the tools available to us while remembering what makes us human. Staying curious. Questioning what we’re told. Remaining connected to one another. And continuing to lead from the heart—even in a world increasingly led by algorithms. What kind of future are we creating—and who do we want to be inside of it?

    Building Health From the Ground Up with Lee Snider | Movement, Healing & Breaking Generational Patterns

    In this episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, I sit down with Lee Snider of MVNT 190, a biomechanics trainer based in Beachville, Ontario, for a conversation about what it really means to build health from the foundation up. We dive into functional movement, biomechanics, and the foundational pillars that support long-term health—not just treating symptoms, but looking at how we move, live, recover, and care for our bodies every day. Lee and I also get personal about our own health journeys, including the impact of generational trauma, the patterns we inherit, and what it looks like to consciously choose a different path forward. We talk about: • Functional movement and why the way we move matters • Building strong foundations for lifelong health • Taking responsibility for our health without striving for perfection • Generational trauma and breaking inherited patterns • The connection between physical, mental, and emotional well-being • What our own health and healing journeys have taught us along the way Health isn’t a destination. It’s an ongoing relationship with your body, your choices, your history, and the life you’re creating. 🎙️ The Black Sheep Podcast with Lee Snider of MVNT 190

    The Hidden Cost of AI: What Data Centres Mean for Our Future

    Artificial intelligence is advancing at an incredible pace—but what does that progress actually cost? In this episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, we explore the rapid expansion of AI data centres through both a practical and personal lens. We discuss the growing demand for electricity and water, the potential impacts on local infrastructure, and the questions communities are beginning to ask as these projects move into municipalities across North America. From a local perspective, we examine why municipal engagement matters, how community members can become informed and involved in conversations that may affect their environment, and the importance of transparency as decisions are made. We also zoom out to explore a broader perspective: our relationship with nature, technology, and the importance of staying grounded in discernment rather than fear. As the world changes rapidly, how do we remain connected to the natural world, honour balance, and make thoughtful decisions that support both innovation and the health of our communities? This isn’t an episode about choosing sides—it’s about asking meaningful questions, staying curious, and encouraging open dialogue. Whether you’re excited by AI, concerned about its impacts, or simply wanting to understand the bigger picture, this conversation invites you to think critically while staying connected to what matters most. In this episode we discuss: The rapid growth of AI data centres Municipal planning and community involvement Electricity, water, and infrastructure demands Environmental and public health considerations Why local voices matter in development decisions Balancing technological innovation with stewardship of nature Spiritual perspectives on remaining grounded, connected, and discerning during times of rapid change If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to follow The Black Sheep Podcast, leave a review, and share it with someone who values thoughtful conversations about the future we’re creating together.

    Can Men Explain This?

    Can men explain… such and such? 👀😂 After roasting women last episode, it was only fair that the guys got their turn. So we asked the important questions… Why do projects sit at 97% complete for six months? 🤔 Why is there always that one pair of underwear that should’ve been retired years ago? 🩲 Why does “I’ll do it later” have no actual timeline attached to it? 😂 Somehow we started there… and ended up talking about communication, marriage, expectations, how couples accidentally drive each other crazy, and what actually helps relationships work when you stop trying to “win.” This episode went completely off the rails in the best possible way—with plenty of laughs, side quests, and a few surprisingly meaningful conversations mixed in.

    The Great Food Divide: Lab-Grown Futures vs Homestead Living

    What happens when food starts coming from printers, laboratories, and corporations instead of farms? In this episode, we dive into the rapidly changing food system, including 3D-printed foods, cultivated and cloned meat, and the growing divide between industrial food production and local food sovereignty. We explore why real environmental stewardship starts at the local level, from advocating for backyard chickens and community food systems to supporting regenerative farming practices that actually restore the land. Along the way, we discuss the difference between true sustainability and virtue signalling, the impact of centralized food production, the importance of critical thinking, and why getting involved in your municipality may be one of the most powerful things you can do for the future of your food. As always, expect plenty of laughs, rabbit holes, and thought-provoking conversations from two women who aren’t afraid to ask uncomfortable questions. Tune in and let us know: What do you think the future of food should look like?
