"Safe and effective." This is the mantra of those in favor of vaccinations, who claim that they save lives. But, there is mounting evidence that they are neither safe nor effective. Most of us simply haven't been privy to the facts. That is about to change. Magdalene Taylor is the Director and Editor of The Informed Parent (TiP), a journal to encourage an informed vaccination decision based on a wide range of information. Magda was once a believer in vaccines until she came across some literature that gave her pause. Now she equips parents with information on the hazards associated with so-called immunizations. This episode focuses on many relevant topics including how few doctors speak out about vaccination risks, how little they actually know about vaccines, and how the entire medical industry is captured by the pharmaceutical industry. Magda also shares books, reference materials, and more to empower parents, along with suggestions for how to manage well-meaning relatives and friends (and medical professionals) who insist that any vaccine hesitancy is problematic.

Sometimes homesteading is idealized and you get stars in your eyes, thinking it'll be so perfect... until it's not. Aimee and John Willis of Vintage Meadows tell the story of how a health crisis made them pivot from their original life goals into homesteading. They bought 4 acres and gave it a go. Then they had to sell it all and start all over, and over, and over again. You might call it a failure, a pivot, or simply relatable – but whatever it is, it shows the resilience of two people who want to nurture themselves and their community well and who haven't thrown in the towel just yet.
