As Americans we are raised to believe in “American Freedom” and that we are the most free country in the world. While in some aspects, sure, we do have some freedoms that other countries do not have but what if we told you that we are not as free as we think we are, that “American freedom” be believe so intensely in may actually be an illusion of freedom. This episode may be triggering for some, but we are going to challenge that standard American belief in freedom and take a deep dive into the societal institutions and systems that may actually be enslaving us instead of freeing us! This is an exciting episode that covers SO MUCH in the realm of freedom and self-reliance and we cannot wait to go on this journey of finding true freedom with you!

In a social media focused world, we've become everything but social. Technology has overtaken the upcoming generation and shifted our focus from reality to virtual. Listen in as we discuss the pros and cons of these major changes and whats in store for the future.

There’s no doubt that masculinity is being attacked from all angles. Unfortunately it’s apparent in almost everything. Not only are we neglecting the provision & balance that men bring to the table, but the traits that women once dreamed of and sought after in a man, are now being labeled as “toxic”. We’ve discussed the pros and cons of feminism and have briefly touched on this topic in previous episodes; but in this episode we dive a bit deeper with our special guest, into what it really means to be a man, why it’s so important to cultivate an environment where men are able to embrace their strong masculine qualities and why women should show appreciation and respect for it. Say it louder for the feminists in the back: MAKE MEN MANLY AGAIN!

Don’t get us wrong, women are amazing, powerful, beautiful, strong ect… but has our obsession gone too far when society has adopted the mentality that “we don’t need no men”? We think it has. In this episode we discuss the differences in the feminism movements. What it started out as, vs what it is today, and what we fear it will be in the future if we don’t develop a new mentality. This is also the first episode that we welcome a special guest, to be able to provide multiple perspectives. Enjoy the Freak-show!

There’s no doubt that the times we are living through are unprecedented, frustrating, and outright scary. The only thing that could possibly make it harder?.. KIDS. With the agenda that’s being pushed from all angles, and the kids being the ones targeted, it can be horrifying to think about bringing kids up in today’s society. Listen in as we take a deeper look at the struggles parents face, raising children in a time like this, and how to ensure they come out the other side with their innocence in tact.

The “Mental Health” movement has been on the rise, and for good reason.. It’s never been more important to focus our attention on solutions, rather than problems. But we look at this particular topic through a much different lens than most of society. Join us as we discuss why we think this movement is highly mislabeled & quite harmful to our actual mental health.

In a society with ever-changing, unattainable beauty standards, we discuss the past, present & future of the toxic ‘body image’ movement, why it’s harmful, and how to let it become and STAY a thing of the past.

In this episode we share our views around the hypersexuality in our culture. From media, music, and propaganda, all the way to our education system, over-sexualization is plaguing the minds of our children and tainting their innocence. Are we too far gone, or is there some shred of decency and hope left for our future generations?
