My guest today is combat veteran and artillery gunner, Kelsi Sheren. Kelsi served in the Canadian army alongside American and British troops in Afghanistan. With an unsurprisingly turbulent reentry into the real world, Kelsi shares how she managed feelings of depression, anger, and suicidal thoughts. We discuss her journey to healing with the help of psychedelics and what it's like to go from soldier to wife, mother, and podcaster.To say Kelsi is an intense fireball is an understatement, and she is on a mission to help as many people as she can who are suffering from trauma survive and thrive. Kelsi shared, 'Maybe if somebody had told me after my military operation it was OK to have the feelings, take time to work through them, and it was normal to have the reaction to what I had gone through versus putting me on eventually 11 medications, that could have been really helpful.'After listening, make sure to check out her podcast, Brass and Unity.

My guest today is Mr. Light Watkins, a meditation teacher and expert. Light has authored a series of books on meditation, including "Bliss More," "The Inner Gym," and his latest creation - an exploration of spiritual minimalism titled "Travel Light."In the course of our discussion, Light shares his journey of living with nothing more than a backpack's worth of belongings. Light is not against "stuff" or "nice things," but he had an intense calling to offload all of his physical objects to live a minimalist life. He doesn't think it is forever, but he shares his experience and insightful lessons from these past five years.One of the great reminders that Light talks about and that struck me was that there are the mechanics of meditating, and what keeps most of us from it is not understanding, learning, and practicing the mechanics. If you want to learn more about that, he really dives into meditation in his book "Bliss More."Light has a humble attitude and makes the pursuit of spirituality accessible. He reminds us that we can be the architect of our reality based on whatever is important to us.

Even though regenerative farming is still less than 1% of our country's agricultural technique he explains that by adopting regenerative farming practices and incorporating regenerative meat into our diet is essential but also more achievable than we might think. We discuss cost and accessibility and whether you are eating animal protein or are a vegan or vegetarian this impacts all of us. Together where we put our dollars will determine our future.
