“We need to feed people, and if we're going to do that, we need to do it responsibly.” —Dayna Ghirardelli
Measure J, a controversial ballot initiative in Sonoma County, aims to restrict the size of local farms and animal operations. If passed, it could devastate the county's thriving agricultural community, putting family-owned businesses and thousands of jobs at risk. The measure's true goal is to eliminate animal agriculture entirely by 2040, even though farmers are already committed to sustainable and ethical practices.
Dayna Ghirardelli, the Executive Director of the Sonoma County Farm Bureau, has dedicated her career to protecting the region's diverse agricultural landscape. With over a decade of experience in the industry, she is a passionate advocate for family farms and the vital role they play in the local economy and community. Dayna firmly opposes Measure J, recognizing the catastrophic impact it would have on Sonoma County's cherished way of life.
This in-depth conversation uncovers the alarming truth behind Measure J, shedding light on the measure's true intentions and the devastating consequences it poses for Sonoma County's farmers, businesses, and residents. Tune in!

“I'm waiting at the sunset, in the light of the moon for tomorrow, where they'll come running on the horizon.” —Jodi LaRae Cunningham
It can be such a heartbreaking experience when someone just drifts away and cuts off contact. It can happen for all sorts of reasons but whatever they are, it can be really tough to deal with. The good news is, that there are ways to work through it and find a path towards healing, even if the relationship can't be fully repaired.
Jodi LaRae Cunningham never imagined she’d go through estrangement with her own family. After years of being cut off from her own children, Jodi channeled her pain and wisdom into writing ESTRANGEMENT, a book that's equal parts heartfelt memoir and practical guide for anyone struggling with broken relationships.
In this week’s episode, Jodi offers a compassionate and practical roadmap for navigating the complexities of estrangement, from setting healthy boundaries to finding peace through self-love and faith, all while maintaining hope for healing and reconciliation.

“You can go when you want to go. You deserve something more than that. You're worth more than that.” —Allyn Amerongen
Narcissistic partners can be the ultimate masters of manipulation— one minute they'll shower you with love and the next they'll tear you down. They’ll slowly chip away at your confidence until you're questioning everything. But you know what? You're stronger than their games!
Our guest this week, Allyn Amerongen, has been through the wringer with a narcissistic ex. But instead of letting that experience break her, she's using it to lift up other women.
Buckle up as Allyn spills the tea on the red flags of narcissistic abuse, the incredible strength it takes to break free, how subtle manipulation can chip away at your self-worth, the importance of having a strong support system, the healing power of sharing your story, and the unbreakable strength you'll discover on the other side of trauma.

“The last thing I want is to lose connection with the people who matter most to me.” —Carly Burr
The social media pandemic has really taken over, hasn't it?
It seems like everyone is constantly glued to their phones, scrolling endlessly through the highlight reels of everyone else's lives. It can be so easy to get caught up in the comparison trap and feel like we're just not measuring up. But you know what they say— comparison is the thief of joy!
Several years ago, Carly Burr made the bold decision to ditch social media altogether, and she hasn't looked back since! As a mom and business owner, Carly has found that living life offline has allowed her to cultivate deeper connections with her family and build a thriving business in a refreshingly authentic way.
