Matt Johnson, animal rights activist and press coordinator for Direct Action Everywhere (DxE), joins us for this episode to talk about the dangers, health risks, and immoral nature of factory farming. He recently went viral for duping Fox News into thinking he was the CEO of Smithfield Foods; the largest pork producer in this country, with the goal of bringing awareness to the role of factory farming when it comes to disease and pandemics. 99% of all meat produced in the USA comes from factory farms, and that's just the truth of it. We aren't here to shame anyone or to change anyone's food consumption habits, but we are here to tell you what you're actually consuming. This episode isn't super graphic, but it is real, and it is shocking - this is the reality of what's happening and we all deserve to have the facts.

"If only we can overcome cruelty, to human and animal, with love and compassion we shall stand at the threshold of a new era in human moral and spiritual evolution - and realize, at last, our most unique quality: humanity." - Jane Goodall

We had the absolute pleasure of interviewing Tik-Tok sensation Bobby Waldner aka The Glitter Dad. He is sassy, funny, and above all a fantastic father and role model. He and his husband adopted their two children out of foster care 4 years ago, and he was kind enough to share their journey and story with us. We dive into the differences between the gay and straight parenthood experience, and how at the end of the day it's really all about providing a loving and safe home. Get your tissues ready, this one is special!

"Everything happened fast. Our Foster Care license was approved at the end of November and days later we were introduced to a brother and sister needing a forever home. They had been living in separate homes for two years and were seeking to be placed in a home together, with the goal of being adopted. The hubs and I were thrilled. To say I was nervous is an understatement, so many thoughts ran through my head; “Will they like me?” “What are they like?” “Am I ready for this?” etc…

The moment they walked through the door all my fears melted away. Their smiles were beautiful, their eyes full of light their excitement was pure joy. We chatted with them and played with them, they didn’t know at the time that we were a potential home, but they took to us right away. We were giving piggy back rides, tossing balls back and forth, and laughing about nothing. Everything seemed right. And it was. Less than a week later, they moved in." - The Glitter Dad Blog

Cannot be unlived, but if faced

With courage, need not be lived again."

We talk with Amber Carvaly; a licensed mortician who is best known for her work at Undertaking LA, and most recently for running Death Care Connect - a safe space and networking platform for those dealing with grief, and much more. Her goal is to provide direct access to those who may have questions, have feelings, and generally offer a place of nurturing for this very tough subject. Death is one of the great equalizers in this world, and it’s something most of us are scared to talk about. Amber’s sensible and gentle approach is definitely something to be admired, and her work undoubtedly has changed the lives of many and will continue to do so.

"I co-founded and ran Undertaking LA, a mortuary in Los Angeles that believes that one of the best ways to process a death is to be a more active participant in the funeral process. This can include washing and dressing the body, doing the make-up and hair, helping to fill the grave in a burial, or simply witnessing the cremation." , said Carvaly.
