The True Cost of Convenience: From Fluoride to Factory Chicken

In this raw and fired-up episode, we’re pulling the curtain back on the modern food system and asking the question nobody wants to answer: what are you actually eating? From nicotine pouches and parasite cleanses to factory-farmed meat and backyard chickens, we unpack how convenience culture has wrecked our health, hijacked our priorities, and disconnected us from the land. We talk perimenopause, chicken tractors, why our tomatoes taste like dirt (spoiler: they are dirt), and why your “Canadian” chicken might be Brazilian. We’re not just ranting, we’re living it. This is your invitation to think, feel, and farm a little deeper.

In this episode, we answer your raw, vulnerable, and beautifully honest questions about long-term relationships. We get into the real stuff, like what happens when you're both changing, how to keep intimacy alive, and whether marriage still makes sense in today’s world.

We talk about:

• What we wish we knew before getting married

• The fear of outgrowing each other

• How to navigate change inside a relationship

• The biggest myths about love and commitment

• Why some of the best relationships are built, not found

This isn’t a “how to get it right” episode. It’s an honest look at what it means to evolve together, and what happens when you don’t.

Another uncensored campfire over at The Black Sheep HQ. Jen and Jess trade the politics of last week for the politics of the psyche, ripping into mirror work, projection, and why your partner’s annoying habits are probably dragging a wounded part of you into the light. We wander from Nirvana nostalgia to a full-tilt rant on social media freeloaders, detour through chicken-poop etiquette on the homestead, and land in the hard truth that kids, spouses, and strangers online are all holding up glass, whether you want to look or not. Raw stories, salty language, and just enough practical reflection tools to make therapy blush. Grab headphones, preferably away from impressionable ears, and let’s get uncomfortable in all the right ways.
