    New Podcast: "Disenfranchised" by Michael Beck

    New Podcast: "Disenfranchised" by Michael Beck

    There seems to be a generational gap between boomers and Gen X-Y-Z youth about, well, everything. Instead of sticking our heads in the sand and assuming we're right, listening to what they have to say may help us reinvent ourselves and society as we begin to build the new normal in the wake of the coronavirus.

You can listen to this 20-minute podcast here, or find GakkoMom on iTunes, and subscribe to my podcast. Beck's podcast is also embedded here:

    New Podcast: Water Filters for Christmas

    In today's podcast, I talk about how I'm changing my gift-giving habits this year so I can stand behind what I believe and promote a healthy future!  To that end, I'm giving water filters this year!  There are a lot of reasons for this (which are covered in the podcast), but I feel good that my loved ones will be receiving gifts that will help keep them healthy when I'm not around.  I picked water filters because the majority of drinkable water in the United States barely qualifies as "drinkable", because our water sources are poisoned by industrial chemicals, byproducts from fracking, pesticide run-off, and more.  Take a look:
