As many topics are personal for the Two Broads, in this episode they discuss body image. The illusive journey for the perfect body. Even though nobody really knows who is the judge on this arbitrary "image" of our anatomies we sure act like we do. In the meantime the quest for the perfect abs, breasts, biceps and hind sides may actually be the biggest waste of time ever. A frank discussion about an all too popular obsession. Honestly, the time has come for us to shift perspective to optimum health as a focus not purely the illusive image that few ever see anyway. Good health will go so much farther in the long run than brutal obsession over how we look. Tune in, we are salty.

The Two Broads were in extra rare form in this coffee table convo. There is a lot of social and cultural observation and criticism in this and truly one can only listen to see if you are able to list all of the bullet points, lol, Honestly though, it seems like we have over saturated our desires for entertainment, foods, escapism, sex, shopping and more to a point that pleasure could be an enemy. Where do you go when you've exhausted how entertained you can be?

Well, here we go; we are heading straight for the time of year that seems to bring with it the best and worst of times. The Two Broads bring their annual pre-season tips for getting into the right mindset for all of the festivities. Why? Because the stress level of so many is palpable starting around Thanksgiving and honestly, it reveals things about ourselves that could be wonderful indicators that need our attention that we may be ignoring; gaining more peace within everyday, not just around the Holidays.

These Two Broads really enjoyed our conversation with Matt who came out of the public school "system" and once a Father realized he must do something different for his children regarding learning. He began to build what he thought learning could look like and invited everyone he knew to join in, and they did. Now Apogee learning centers are spread throughout the country. It is a great episode on lifetime learning, parenting, not accepting the status quo, building outside of the box and more. Tune in and share this important cast.

The Two Broads were so pleased to have had Author Joseph (Jake) Klein on this episode where a very important topic was discussed. Klein's new book, Redefining Racism; How Racism Became Power + Prejudice, is a very well researched and important book bringing to light a very little known history of how anti racists movements have actually pushed culture backwards in the arena of inclusion and diversity. This book has been a six year journey and Jake shares some of his research pointing out that the way to real progress in anti racism must include being anti racist towards all. Perhaps it boils down to the truth that the real way to raise a bar is not by pushing others down but to raise the bar on oneself. Despite some short tech difficulties this is an episode to hear.

It is past time to think that it cannot be true that the industrial food complex isn't out for us. It is naive to think the FDA would never allow harmful toxins to be in our foods. Does not everyone not yet know? There are decades of disease riddled data to show us just how far off from real food the complex of food scientists have brought us, begging the question, do we even know what real food is anymore? The Broads get fired up over this topic and one of incredible importance.... Our children, our nation, is sick. Own your own health, nobody is in your corner regarding it.

Starting a new business? Stuck in your business? Want a successful life? Guest Brooke Lenhoff of the Entrepreneurship Center, Focus Suites joins the two broads for some foundational advise that often times gets overlooked when doing your own thing; the entrepreneur themselves. Understanding one's strengths is one such foundational building block that gets discussed today. Of course there are a lot of laughs too and some of the laughs come at the expense of this broad who damn near did die with her mic in her hand today..... unpredictable per usual, tune in! Be encouraged.

For the first time, the Two Broads had a repeat guest on the show. Stacy Dam of Set Your Sites, joined us again after only under three months due to all of the barriers and goals she has busted down. Goals she spoke of in her first visit and boom, they happened. If you missed Stacy's first cast discussing her, "see a need, fill a need" business idea and the weird accident she had that spurred her into action, please go listen to the Set Your Sites episode back in June. We were so excited to see this lady who is fast becoming the first in a business league all her own; a pretty big deal actually. We discuss keeping motivated and taking time to acknowledge, celebrate and sit in the milestones for a minute as the journey really is everything. Also, it seemed fitting to celebrate Stacy's win with our own milestone here at Two Broad Casters as this is our 100th episode we have recorded. It won't take you long into this cast (like immediately) to see how there is zero improvement in the tech department after 100 episodes as Lauri tries to enter the show with what she thought was a sound bite of celebration and clapping sounds and well.... epic fail. Oh well, the broads are known for this type of awkwardness at this point. Tune in friends for this episode sure to encourage and make you laugh.

The state of education is a topic that is sure to ruffle the broad's feathers. In this episode Lauri & Sarah push back against the misunderstanding of what unschooling generally really is and then it's off to the races. What ensues is a litany of amazement and grievances towards public education over the years and where it now finds us. Tune in if you like course salt.

Sarah is currently partaking in a physical fitness challenge and while walking several hours a day currently she has had time to think a lot about motivation and perseverance. The two broads discuss these two golden qualities and all under the Lauri's shroud of exhaustion which is ridiculously obvious right at the start of the show when she boldly calls Sarah, Sarah Conners!! WHAT?? Well, if you are a listener regularly, this probably won't surprise you. Which is sad, lol. Thanks for listening.

In observation of our occasional series on forgotten people groups, in this cast we discuss prisoners. Amy Jurgens is the Director for the Focus Suites Entrepreneurship Center and teacher at Southeast Community College. Amy is also teaching in the prison and shares her observations and insights about that. We talk about the bias many have regarding people who are or who have served time. One thing is for sure, no matter your thoughts or bias regarding ex-prisoners, one thing is for sure; many are coming back out it's on us out here on the "outside" to care about their re-entry.

In this episode the broads come to the mics with some salty commentary regarding the Olympics. It has its touching moments when one Broad tells of her childhood connection to the Olympics. This is a fun episode sure to get you back into the spirit of gold and we think we may get gold in the category of best post game without having been there or watched any of it. Listen now!

Tragic heroes. We are all familiar with them as they are in most stories told; via plays, movies or books. Tragic figures and cautionary tales have been in our societal culture experience in everything from The Bible, to Greek mythology to Aesop's fables. We have been exposed to stories that warn of us many things and things like regret, bitterness, greed and lies to a point where it would seem like we could all see the end results of where such things lead. However, for some, it didn't take. What happens when the tragic hero is someone you know personally and are left no other option than to feel like the main thing their life ended up being was a cautionary tale. It is a very sad experience. The two broads discuss this hard topic as well as other random things like flash naps, mob naps, generational living and more. Tune in friends.

The Two Broads have a conversation on this episode about how convenience, or a least the sales pitch of it, has led us into the really deep end of consumerism. We wonder if we are better off for it all despite the obviousness of much of it. Do we purchase without much real thought whenever something is sold as making our lives easier or better in some ways? Has all of that stuff we have bought lived up to its promise? Do we even use half of the stuff we have? Why do we think we have to constantly buy stuff? We bring up this topic in an effort to perhaps put some thought into how we are actually managing our lives though our stuff and our finances and our impulses to over buy. Perhaps we should spend a little more time being a producer of something at least once in a while as being known as consumers starts to feel heavy.

In this episode, in an attempt to soften the edges to so many campaign weary and anxiety stricken hearts the Two Broads are here to give a possible moment to readjust perspectives. Propaganda is the topic on this cast. A little background about it, what it is, how it's used and more. We even created a game called Spot The Ganda which we feel could aid humanity in surviving what now seems like an every four year virus that needs inoculation. Tune in as this is insightful and important but plenty of humor is poured throughout along with some snark and salt of course. Tune in!!

Great conversation with 2+1 broad, Stacy Dam, owner of Set Your Sites which is an idea and service that brings campgrounds into the 21st century. We loved hearing this idea of hers that is now catching some major waves and even more fascinating is the story of when she decided to actually give what was "just an idea" her attention and roll the dice. Stacy came through quite an ordeal which left her leaning towards another way of life for her and her family. She went through a real rough season and is now understanding and seeing the lessons and the rewards of making a big change. This is a great cast for anyone who is an idea person who wishes to actually turn the idea into more than that. A passionate and motivating cast to be sure and we hope it leaves your feeling as pumped up as it did us.

Living off of the land. Going off the grid. There is a mass conscience directed towards the desire to own a piece of property and return to an agrarian society. To be able to grow your own food and own a few of your own animals. In this episode we have a great conversation with Shawn & Beth who have been doing just that for over 40 years. Not only do they live off of their land 95% they have a heart to teach others. They spend much time speaking at conferences and their book, The Independent Farmstead is a must for anyone setting out on this awesome journey. If you want to really understand how the ecosystem really works, how we can learn to understand the ground, how you can create better food for your family, how we are being lied to and so much more don't miss this one.

How much do you know about Joe? That beverage that may be the start to your every day. We got to chat with Amanda Pumphrey, owner of Pumphrey and Beard Coffee Comany which is both a coffee house with two locations but also coffee roasters. Learn about that bean, (not a bean) we love and seemingly rely on so much. Coffee is very interesting starting with the plant perspective to the global marketplace of it to the cultures that have coffee as an important centerpiece. Of course as any authentic coffee talk conversation would have it; we meander, boy to we meander. Good conversation. P.S. Support your local coffee roasters!

We had the pleasure of having good conversation with Angie Craft, artist and owner of Sassafras Galleria and The Back Room Event Venue located in Wahoo, NE. Angie loves art and is a warrior dedicated to promoting art, aiding young artists and providing events and opportunities for artists of all types. She has done so much for the small town of Wahoo and for artists as she builds community through creativity. It was a perfect match up with yours truly two broads who feel the same and promote creativity every chance they get as well. More people NEED to indulge themselves in some type of creativity no matter the level you are at with it. The mere act of creating anything has the power to heal, gain fresh perspectives, puts things into better perspectives, interrupts worry, aids in creating a relaxed feeling, helps in problem solving and so much more yet many do not try to learn these truths. Fun cast about a subject they are all passionate about. Despite a mic problem of Lauri's it is still a great conversation.

Fun conversation with Chuck Bush. Chuck is CEO of Provocation Pictures and F3 Films with Nick Corso. We learned about how F3 Films just entered a deal with Silver Screen Pictures; a provider for content for Hallmark, Lifetime, GAC and others. F3 will produce pictures that occupy the faith, family and freedom space. We learned how Chuck's passion for community shows through his bringing film work to Louisiana where he resides. We talked about counter culture and being a part of that. We talked about how exciting it is, like in a movie, to see someone after many years, perhaps be on the cusp of some big things. We also learned what Kevin Costner, Chuck Bush and a 7-11 have in common and how that became a community also. You will also learn how one of the Broads and Chuck know each other from the way back files. Tune in!
