    The State of the American Farm With Special Guest Clare Dunn

    Country music veteran, singer songwriter extraordinaire, Clare Dunn joined Lauri & Sarah on this recent episode.  Clare, being bold enough to strike out on her own and disassemble from the major label and the demoralizing music biz  reconnected with her values and makes music that is close to her heart which has led her on an additional path. Clare, who grew up on a family ranch in Southeast Colorado has recentered herself with her roots and wisdom of the plight of an American farmer.  Clare spends much of her time now advocating for America's farmers, educating the public on the state of farm scarcity and busting myths that people think about farmers.  She tours, writes music, speaks at agriculture events and has a new podcast called The Real Rural which highlights farmers and provides much needed schooling on what is happening with our farms today. Fast fact: it's not good.

    These Broads Got Some Questions

    The world stage is nuts whether near or far. So many distractions and so many big headlines that keep people glued to the screens for any scrap of what could resemble anything like closure, progress or realistic reporting.  But, alas, those things rarely emerge.  It gets clearer day to day that we live under a massive dose of deception, trickery, violence and mind control. But hey, let's not let our hearts be weary shall we?  Tune in for some frank discussion and salty commentary on just a few questions we have.

    Forgotten People Series: The Alarming Rise of Illiteracy

    In this episode we discuss a known yet glossed over the problem of illiteracy in this country.  We went into a backward view of where we were concerning literacy as far back as the early 1800's to where the numbers line up today.  We discussed all of the implications this bears on both someone unable to read/write as well as into the many societal ills it may very likely be affecting.  We of course could not help getting pretty startled by the stats and how there seems to be nothing but a continual downward spiral; if not more excelerated by our current age of technology.  It is a problem and our hearts truly feel for those trapped in such an outlier realm.  We touched on what we, as individuals or as groups might consider for aiding in this hubris problem outside the system machine which has passed so many through. Tune in, share and chime in.

    Happy New Year All!!  We jumped on our mics coming in at episode #141 and the first of the new year filled with positivity and hope.  We chatted about what fresh starts can do and how important taking stock of what one has gone through is important for moving forward and for settling in with what is at hand.  Health was brought up since no other accomplishments can be done without feeling well. Discussions were had surrounding letting go, getting out of our own way, spiritual leaning and random other encouraging thoughts.  Tune in.  2026 hopes to be a good year for the broads and they will expand to video and more. Let's all get to it shall we? We wish you all upgrades to your life.

    Shining A Light On The Darkness Of Grief

    Grief. One of the things that connects us all. Never welcome, rarely seen coming but the depths grief strikes in us rarely passes anyone over.  When it strikes it throws your center of gravity completely out of any sense of what was solid ground and while we all have or will experience grief it is deeply personal at the same time.  We wanted to talk about grief purposefully around the Holidays when so many feel completely out of step with feeling festive.  Our Dear friend, Maria Sloan joins us and shares her loss as well as her experience through being a Grief Share leader.  This is a very raw episode with the hopes of touching those who may feel seen by listening.

    More On Data Centers With Lynne Taylor

    Sarah and I discussed the topic of data centers dodgyness a few weeks ago. Since then, we have been privy to so many areas fighting these beheamoth industrial data dumping grounds which made us want to visit the topic again.  Many are behind in learning just how many of these centers there are and the real fun fact is that they are ramping up the building of more at a rapid, we are in a race pace.  Lynne Taylor was part of a local fight against one moving into her area in North Carolina and they pushed back enough to halt the project, but as she wisely said, "for now." The amount of farmland being rezoned for these is quite alarming and while the horse is out of the gate, they need to be fought! Tune in and learn more.  Watch your local government my friends, the sufficating control is real.

    Are We Streaming Away Too Much of Our Life's Stream?

    Friends, Sarah and I got into a passionate discussion based around the word streaming. Streaming; a word one would have never seen coming as a reference to so much and used so often.  Upon pondering the word we compared an analogy of our own personal lives being a stream and wondered how much attention that stream is getting vs all the other streaming options.  Caution, this conversation had us coming face to face with self-discipline. Tune in and catch the wave.

    Tales From Two Broad Travel

    Both of the broads were abroad this past month; not together but near the same time and near the same part of the world.  Sarah was off in various spots in the UK and Lauri was in Ireland with a northern dip to that Uk piece of Ireland.  Just know that the stories of their adventures and observations were flowing and this episode is perfect for a mental vacation, some storytelling and some laughs. It's a great combo for this time of year.  Come escape with us for awhile friends.
