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 49 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast Chloe & Keshia have a light hearted conversation and good laugh with Phil Escott as we delve into the intricate web of human health and nutrition.

Phil is a Health/lifestyle consultant, nine-year carnivore and drummer Phil Escott got chronically ill as a vegetarian, and his body revolted with psoriatic arthritis and other autoimmune conditions in 2010, leaving him unable to move without severe pain, let alone drum or exercise, and he had to throw out all his existing “expertise” and start from scratch. Phil’s eventual combination of a carnivore diet with EMF and artificial light avoidance, cold thermogenesis and a range of other health enhancing practices reversed the “incurable” diseases that he suffered from.

His book “Arthritis, The Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me” gained a foreword by Dr. Jack Kruse and has become an Amazon Kindle bestseller and is now available in print. Phil talks from personal experience about contemporary lifestyle and diet choices, disconnects from our ancestral heritage, emotional balancing and the simple but often misunderstood nature of spiritual awakening.

He now consults with clients worldwide helping them to reverse their metabolic and autoimmune issues and runs The Big Fat Challenge with Ben Hunt as his main project. In this chat Phil uncovers the hidden dangers lurking in seed oils and vegetable oils, shedding light on their detrimental effects on our well-being. Drawing from his own journey, Phil shares how autoimmune disease and metabolic dysfunction can wreak havoc on our bodies, and explores the pivotal role the carnivore diet played in his healing process.

We take a deep dive into the introduction of seed oils and their insidious impact on human health, touching upon the concept of deuterium and its significance in maintaining optimal health.

Phil underscores the toxicity of certain plants and advocates for a return to ancestral diets as a key to unlocking vibrant health. We chat on various dietary landscapes, from the allure of veganism's honeymoon phase to the nuanced use of plants as medicinal agents.

Phil addresses concerns surrounding raw dairy and delves into the considerations of adopting a carnivore diet during pregnancy, as well as its potential effects on children's health. Phil shares insights into resilience and the gradual reintroduction of foods, framing the carnivore diet as the ultimate elimination diet.

In episode 31 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast we are exceptionally delighted to bring you our conversation with the amazing Yolande Norris-Clark.

Yolande is known for dedicating herself to dispelling the myths around childbirth and celebrating birth as the catalyst that it is: for insight, self-love, healing, and spiritual evolution. Yolande has a deep commitment to medical freedom, bodily autonomy, and energetic sovereignty, growth and self-development through birth and motherhood.

One of her most ardent passions is holding women as they embark on an exploration of their own capacity for multi-dimensional knowing, resonance, recovery, and transformation through the interrogation of belief and deep embodiment. In our riveting conversation with Yolande, we delve into profound topics showcased in her latest book, "Portal: The Art of Choosing Orgasmic, Pain-Free, Blissful Birth."

Portal is not just about birth, or pain (or the absence of pain) during birth. It’s part memoir, part philosophical treatise, part theological discourse. It deals with the subject of God, quantum physics, faith, love, religion, sex, mothering, and the nature of power and of existence itself, offering a roadmap for an experience of birth (and of life) imbued with joy and integrity. In our episode together Yolande eloquently shares her journey of recovering from radical feminism, addressing the allure of drama, and escaping the victim triangle—all crucial elements influencing our ability to choose a blissful birth.

Yolande sheds light on the cultivation of fear surrounding childbirth in our cultures, emphasizing the role of men in the birthing process and unveiling the transformative potential of orgasmic birth. This episode is a treasure trove of insights, offering a roadmap to reclaiming power in childbirth and womanhood.

In Episode 25 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast, Chloe and Keshia engage in a thought-provoking discussion about sunscreen, exploring its potential as both a protector and a source of harm. They are joined by Dr. Elizabeth Plourde, a Clinical Laboratory Scientist, Medical Researcher and the author of multiple books including her more recent "Sunscreens Biohazard 2: Proof of Toxicity Keeps Piling Up." Dr. Plourde challenges the conventional belief that sunscreen is a foolproof defense against skin cancers. Instead, she reveals how it can inadvertently promote them, citing the absorption of its chemicals into our bodies and their disruptive impact on our hormonal balance. The conversation extends to the environmental consequences, particularly the damage to coral reefs, which holds significance for Australians who have long followed the "slip, slop, slap" mantra. Dr. Plourde offers practical advice on safely enjoying the sun, including gradual sun exposure, the importance of a healthy diet, and the protective role of melanin.

In Episode 22 of The Road to Wisdom Podcast, Chloe and Keshia engage in a profound and candid discussion with Jo Robertson, a renowned expert in the fields of and Relationship Therapy, Betrayal and Trauma Specialization, and Sexual Health Consultation. In this chat, we delve into Jo's significant body of work pertaining to the exposure of young individuals to pornography. Confronting this issue head-on and shedding light on the alarming ease with which today's youth encounter explicit content, the prevalence of aggressive and detrimental material on freely accessible online platforms, the resulting impact on young people, and the potential challenges they may encounter due to such exposure. As parents, we approach this conversation with genuine curiosity and a sincere desire to learn how to effectively communicate with our children about the likelihood of them encountering pornography. We seek insights on how to provide our young adults with a comprehensive and trustworthy framework for discussing sexuality within the confines of our homes for years to come. This dialogue is not only eye-opening but also, at times, astonishing, making it an imperative listen for parents who wish to stay informed and engaged in their children's lives.
