Our friend Lynne Taylor joined us to discuss the upcoming 250th milestone celebation for the United States. We weave around the constitution in conversation seeking for some of the long ago signs of it being off the track. We have been watching slowly but surely ways to skirt logic, original intent, accountibilty, responsibility and down right tryanny over a slow simmer. Are we now boiling frogs? This episode may be a rather salty take to many but it's also possible we are not alone in feeling not in a celebration mood regarding this. Sometimes it just feels like a mourning.

In this episode we discuss what it looks like to be job searching in todays fast moving and changing employment market. The jobs themselves are changing along with the hiring process with the advent of AI and human resource tools. The average time to find an early/to mid career professional job is 2-4 months, specialized technical roles 3-5 months, director levels 4-6 months and VP and C level execs 6-9 months. Factoring in rising costs and minimal if any savings for such time lines it does seem like a real wild west market with peoples lives on the line. The Broads wanted to initiate a conversation regarding this with the hopes of shedding some encouragement and mostly to let people under the weight of these timelines to feel seen.

Special guest, Jen Lefforge of the very popular lifestyle and travel YouTube Channel, Joyful Living with Jen Lefforge, joined the Two Broads in this episode where we gathered to talk about our seasons of caregiving for a parent, although the sentiment is targeted to all types of caregivers. This topic hits home for so many right now and the number is growing. There is an inadaquate foundational structure and cultural support in regards to caretaking and this episode hopes to aid anyone going through this season to at least feel seen. We discussed dementia and how that presents extra layers to what is already a time when energy, resources and endurance can run thin. Here's to all the caregivers out there.

In this episode the Broads discuss getting a new perspective and strategy on your physical stuff. The decisions about the importance of all of the stuff we collect that follows us through all seasons of life even when the seasons no longer require the stuff. Swedish Death Cleaning, the act of organizing, downsizing and making a plan for your stuff so that your stuff does not become a burden to those who one day will have to deal with your belongings. There is a heaviness to stuff and a freedom to letting go.

This could be called Lions, Tigers & Bears; OH MY. Our informative researcher friend, Lynne Taylor, AKA, Common Core Diva, is back with the broads for more illumination on the scripts behind the stages. In this episode we get into America's AI Action Plan document, the 2027 budget, data centers & more. It's quite the web that is being woven and it's a lot to try and grasp. It's also documentation of how the reshaping of the world is happening and it's all written down for those who choose to see. Rest assured though friends, nobody delivers audacious and diabolical news quite like these broads as we have many laughs throughout this episode. Afterall, resistance and laughter is an option. Such exciting times we live in!

Somewhat inspired by the passing of Lee Estes, aka; The Man on the Mural, the broads take time in this episode to just appreciate all the regular people out here. By regular, meaning only not famous, not wealthy and not on a stage. While the dark theater of the worlds center stages rage on there are people out here everyday touching the life of another person and holding this crazy world together. The real stuff legacies are made of. Tune in and thank you for listening,

Clearly the broads were suppressing some real feels about the grotesque culture's environment for children. Between Epstein files, literature for youth, the children clothing industry, the non stop sexual inuendos in everything and the access the whole world has to our children, there is a war against kids. Innocence, naivete, and natural child development seem on hiatus replaced by "real world", fears, too much information for the sake of over protection, lack of screen monitoring and screens delivered into tiny hands. Replaced by real relationships that foster natural curiousities in due time, outdoor adventures, space and time to be a kid. Buckle up and listen without the young ones around as this is a gloves off salty episode and a cry to leave kids alone!

Sarah shared a story in this episode about an ordeal she and her family were undergoing for a good part of last year and felt the need to use it as a cautionary tale. Property disputes with a neighbor can be very stressful and once a neighbor decides to sue you, it adds a whole other layer to the discomfort. This is a good cast to listen to if you have an easement on your property. She, like a lot of other people are really not informed well at all regarding easements during the purchase of land but they are quite common for legal disputes so heads up if this is you. Of course there is some Two Broad rants thrown in regarding the state of this war we find ourselves in and some other salty takes.

Like a breath of fresh air the Two Broads were graced with special guest Dennis Ferrier for a casual, frank and uplifting conversation focusing on goodness. Dennis is the cheif investigative reporter for FOX 17 out of the Nashville, TN market and produces the Ferrier Files segments, which covers both investigative reports and human interest stories. It was for the latter that we asked Dennis back to the cast to share a glimpse into a big part of his world; finding people doing good things, upholding traditions and keeping community. This cast shines light through all the darkness and it is full of reminders of why we humans are and can be awesome, how community, traditions and values are the benchmarks for healthy families and society. Enjoy!

County Mayor candidate Reggie Weaver joined the broads for a conversation about real people running for office. Real people, meaning people involved in their local communities who are outside of the insider ball game club. We discussed the need for people outside the political machine to step up and run for a local office, help someone who is and at the very least be involved with local politics by holding these people more accountable. People tend to ignore the politics in their own back yard, focus on the President of the country only and wonder how we got here. Everything starts local and should push up but we live in a top down french press form of government and we are feeling the squeeze. How refreshing it was to talk to someone willing to put himself out there who walks the talk and truly is a man about the love of people.

Have you heard of 15 minute cities? Smart city? C40 cities? Have you done any research on what the development of them involves? Karen Bracken, founder of TNCSS, researcher and citizen activist brings this episode a presentation she put together for the AG and comproller in TN regarding C40 cities. There are 14 cities in the US designated as C40 cities at this point and using the pages from the C40's blueprint guide itself, Karen shows and explains why she calls these prison cities. It's worth learning about so that you can find the things to resist and you will be able to spot these plans as they trickle into every aspect of how we live; afterall, these plans never happen overnight but they are being set up.

Connor Jenkins, who works in the tech field, joined us for this interesting episode as he brought his insights about what tech is up to and layered with his passion for not only his love for tech but his watchful eye for us humans. Did anyone notice the advertising trend during the Superbowl? This episode highlights conversations we need to be having with each other as algorithms, AI and data integrations are affecting the job market landscape as well as small business's, who may be under some new found trickery that we may not be so aware of. AI is going nowhere in for forseeable future so it is incumbent upon us to decide how we can navigate this new landscape that none of us are truly ready for. It starts with conversations and being more aware. Afterall, humans made this all possible. Tune in and share this important epidsode.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
