In episode 71 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast, Chloe and Keshia chat with Jinti Fell.  We currently have 14 children between us and thought we would get together to chat simply all things relating to having many children. We touch on so much, from registering a birth, legalities of not seeing a doctor, dealing with paperwork, and the challenges of keeping track of milestones. We also talk about getting our partners on board with having more kids, the importance of intimacy and great sex in a relationship, and the financial aspects of having a big family. We share perspectives on money and the need to shift mindset and trust in our partners' ability to provide. Touching on the challenges and joys of managing a household and raising children. We also had questions about the importance of letting go of control and sharing responsibilities with our partners while also nurturing the desire to have financial independence and the freedom to spend money on personal needs. The conversation then shifts to homeschooling and the benefits of a flexible and child-led approach. Covering themes of balancing household tasks and teaching, as well as the importance of self-care and setting boundaries. We wrap with a discussion on sibling rivalry and the importance of allowing children to express their emotions and resolve conflicts.

In Episode 58 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast, we are joined by Daniel Ebbett,  founder of Block Blue Light. In this episode Daniel shares his personal struggle with chronic insomnia and migraines. Despite trying various remedies such as sleeping pills, natural herbs, and breathing techniques, Daniel's health continued to decline, leaving him feeling helpless and frustrated. Even consulting with specialist doctors proved to be of little help. We delve into what the motivation behind starting Block Blue Light was and we learn more about why artificial light is causing havoc to our health.

Daniel Ebbett is a visionary leader in the field of blue light and its effects on human health. As the founder and CEO of BlockBlueLight, a premier global brand for blue and artificial light-blocking products, he has made it his mission to promote and educate the science behind modern phenomena such as digital eye strain and poor sleep, and the connection these have with screen overuse.

Determined to find a solution, Daniel embarked on extensive research and discovered the impact of blue light on circadian rhythms, which can suppress melatonin secretion and cause sleep issues. He also learned about the dangers of chronic exposure to artificial light during the day, including eye strain, migraines, and even permanent eye damage.

Today, BlockBlueLight is recognized as one of the most trusted and respected international brands in blocking blue light technology. With a passion for helping people live healthier lives, the company aims to make mitigating blue light a mainstream concern and empower individuals with the tools and knowledge they need to thrive in today's digital age.

We ask Daniel ways to be productive with arming ourselves in a modern world when we are often unintentionally doused in blue light!

In episode 55 Chloe & Keshia chat with Kiera Lea. Kiera shares her transformative health journey and her holistic approach to wellness using quantum biology. Kiera grew up in a rural setting, enjoying a healthy lifestyle. However, moving to the city in her teenage years marked the beginning of her health challenges. She suffered from chronic fatigue, bloating, nausea, migraines, anxiety, and depression, seeking medical help without finding relief.

In her early twenties, Kiera explored various diets and treatments, eventually, she connected with a physician who educated her on nutrient-dense foods, circadian rhythm, and holistic health principles. Implementing these changes transformed her health significantly.

Today, as a quantum clinician and educator, Kiera focuses on holistic health beyond just diet. She addresses environmental toxins, circadian rhythm, gut health, and more, tailoring her approach to each client's unique needs.

Kiera Lea shares with us her mission to empower individuals to reclaim their health.
