0:15
SPEAKER_00: So thank you so much for tuning in.
0:19

0:34
SPEAKER_00: So let me see if I can go ahead and do that there thing.
0:41
SPEAKER_00: Ooh, okay, here it is.
0:44

SPEAKER_00: Watch live friends.
0:48
SPEAKER_00: And I'm sorry I have to do this.
0:50
SPEAKER_00: I'm, you know, one day gonna go on StreamYard and be able to do this all with just one click, but for now, this is gonna work.
0:57
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna make it work for ya.
0:59
SPEAKER_00: Woo! And that is just what I've been doing today.
1:06
SPEAKER_00: I've been making it work for me because that is just what we do.
1:10
SPEAKER_00: Despite all obstacles, despite all odds, we are still gonna keep showing up and showing out.
1:17
SPEAKER_00: And that is all I know to do.
1:20
SPEAKER_00: Hi everybody, my name is Ashley Amber Schaefer, and I am here today as a healthy, capable, open-minded individual, harnessing all of the possibilities and potential that today has to offer.
1:35
SPEAKER_00: Because today is a really good day to have a really good day, and that's what we're about to do.
1:40
SPEAKER_00: If you're even hop on here for five seconds, five minutes, maybe you're gonna be on here for the full 35 minutes, and that's my goal of time for this to be.
1:50
SPEAKER_00: I appreciate you.
1:51
SPEAKER_00: I love you so much, and I feel like you are listening to this right here, right now, for a reason, and we are connecting on this level because it is how uh the universe has designed it to be.
2:04
SPEAKER_00: I don't think that I have any interaction with any individual or person or loved one for no reason because I serve a God that is that that good, that everything is going according to plan, that no matter what I do, not it's not about me.
2:22
SPEAKER_00: It's not about what I do, it's not about what I say.
2:24
SPEAKER_00: I can't mess it up, and I just feel so, so called, especially into this new year, to just keep on sharing.
2:35
SPEAKER_00: There has been so many different tools of communication to be able to spread a message, to spread the love, to it give some energy zap to our loved ones.
2:45
SPEAKER_00: And I'm just using all the tools, and it just so happens that I have so many tools.
2:49
SPEAKER_00: I'm swimming in tools, and it has been such a challenge uh to be able to figure out all of those tools because turns out I have like four microphones, maybe five.
3:01
SPEAKER_00: I'm using one right now, the one that my mother got me from Thank You Mama Cheryl for Christmas, because it actually plugs into my computer along with my headphones.
3:12
SPEAKER_00: So the microphone and the headphones are on and they're synced and they're ready to rock and roll.
3:18
SPEAKER_00: And then I can cross post to the other businesses that I'm involved with, like DNA Hemp, as I'm the proud creator and visionary of DNA, the A in DNA, if you will, uh, where I can cross-post and utilize that network, which is super groovy and awesome.
3:34
SPEAKER_00: And I'm also cross-posting Cheryl's Club 175, which is the OG mother shift and the place to be, because Cheryl's Club is just all good vibes, mostly all the time.
3:45
SPEAKER_00: Let me tell you, you add a little bit of fuel to the fire and things get a little wild.
3:49
SPEAKER_00: We get turned up at the club, but I don't regret any of it for any minute.
3:54
SPEAKER_00: I work there every Friday from 9 to 5.
3:57
SPEAKER_00: I'm working at nine too fast because this girl's got to make a living.
4:02
SPEAKER_00: And I love that I'm able to be on that platform at Cheryl's Club to spread the good messages about DNA hemp and what we're doing in the fields on the ground, boots on the ground style, Halen right here, and for Sunshine and Bubbles, which is uh encompassing and embodying all of the high vibing goodness that I've been learning about through all these channels.
4:23
SPEAKER_00: So that's why I've created this podcast, and that's why I keep continuing with this podcast, is to be able to share what I've learned along the way.
4:34
SPEAKER_00: And trust me, I have met so many beautiful, wonderful, like-minded individuals on this holistic health journey that I didn't even know I was going on.
4:46
SPEAKER_00: And again, another testimony to how and why this God is so good.
4:51
SPEAKER_00: Because if you would have asked me seven years ago if I would be a hemp farmer and had a full CBD hemp product line and offering them at my mother's business, Cheryl's Come 175, and and being successful at it, I would have thought you were crazy.
5:05
SPEAKER_00: But here we are.
5:06
SPEAKER_00: I'm here to stand up and stand tall and stand proud and use all my knowledge and my skills to be able to further the message and continue the education that you and I are whole people, and we have all the answers to our health.
5:21
SPEAKER_00: Us, me, I, I have all the answers to my health.
5:25
SPEAKER_00: It's just look within, tapping in and tuning on and turning, tuning into that intuition, that knowledge, that knowing, that inner wisdom that is inside all of us.
5:36
SPEAKER_00: And I would love to say that inner wisdom, that knowing, that intuition, that that that source energy is Jesus.
5:43
SPEAKER_00: It is God, it is his Holy Spirit that he's breathed into us.
5:48
SPEAKER_00: And as I look into this camera and as I'm connecting with viewers here, you are all children of God.
5:55
SPEAKER_00: You have all this infinite power and capability to be able to transform yourself and be whoever it is you want to be.
6:03
SPEAKER_00: And you know, if you have enough courage to keep getting up and take step by step, day by day, moment by moment, you will find exactly what you're looking for.
6:12
SPEAKER_00: And even more so abundantly than you could ever wildly dream.
6:15
SPEAKER_00: And that is the reality that I'm living in, baby.
6:17
SPEAKER_00: Who's coming with me?
6:18
SPEAKER_00: Can I get some likes?
6:19
SPEAKER_00: Can I get some stars?
6:20
SPEAKER_00: Can I get some shares?
6:22
SPEAKER_00: If you vibe on this level, I just love it.
6:25
SPEAKER_00: It's so good.
6:26
SPEAKER_00: And with this new year, becomes new opportunities, new resolutions, and new passageways to enter into that vortex of awesomeness that all both you and I can access at any time.
6:38
SPEAKER_00: It is just a prayer away because when we pray to God, He gives us wisdom and He gives it to us generously.
6:46
SPEAKER_00: So today was super tough because I'm I don't this microphone that I got that is hooked up to the computer and now cross-posting and all these different pages.
6:56
SPEAKER_00: I, you know, it seems like a lot, it was a time vacuum of spending it with technology.
7:01
SPEAKER_00: And I'm not sure that always aligns to me because this wild heart just wants to be outside running around doing cartwheels in in the in the uh in the sand, like I just did on uh on vacation.
7:15
SPEAKER_00: But no, I have to spend some time here, and I know it is time well spent because I know that the time I spent today, I am further ahead than what what I was before the time I spent today, and that is just a beautiful thing.
7:26
SPEAKER_00: So I just I feel like I just gotta keep showing up, just keep showing up for myself so I can keep showing up for you and keep motivating and encouraging and inspiring because every time I do think, like, oh man, am I on the right path?
7:38
SPEAKER_00: Am I doing the right thing?
7:39
SPEAKER_00: Should I be doing something else?
7:40
SPEAKER_00: What am I doing?
7:40
SPEAKER_00: What am I doing?
7:42
SPEAKER_00: I have a little angel friend that reminds me that comes to me and says, Hey, I was really inspired by what you're doing.
7:49
SPEAKER_00: I really like what you're doing, or even a simple like or share just kind of you know reaffirms that I'm on the right path.
7:55
SPEAKER_00: So thank you for all of it.
7:57
SPEAKER_00: It means so, so much.
7:59
SPEAKER_00: And I feel like that's what the juxtaposition is with social media is that we see other people out there doing their thing.
8:07
SPEAKER_00: And and and I love that, but there is that that angel and devil on your shoulder moment where that the angel's like, wow, that person's awesome! Like, yes, cheering them on.
8:19
SPEAKER_00: This is amazing.
8:20
SPEAKER_00: But then it's the devil that's like, Am I worthy?
8:23
SPEAKER_00: Am I enough?
8:24
SPEAKER_00: Oh, look at them, they're doing the things, I'm not doing the things.
8:26
SPEAKER_00: Should I be doing the things?
8:27
SPEAKER_00: What else can I be doing?
8:28
SPEAKER_00: Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
8:28
SPEAKER_00: And then all this that starts getting like clouding in your head.
8:31
SPEAKER_00: And I'm so much for that angel side.
8:34
SPEAKER_00: And all it is just a prayer away where it's just like, cheer them on, cheer other people on.
8:44
SPEAKER_00: I know immediately it's the devil trying to slip in and do its work and say, you know, put other people's down or compare.
8:50
SPEAKER_00: And and really it's just a switching of that mindset to the to this side where you're like, no, that that person is doing it, and I'm inspired, and I want I'm I'm encouraged, I want to encourage them and motivate them to go farther because that showing up is allowing me to show up as my true authentic self.
9:08
SPEAKER_00: And I want to give a huge shout out to the Freedom Family that I've been working with on Thursdays.
9:14
SPEAKER_00: They hold a sessions for production in music because their family is very musically oriented, and they're sharing all their downloads and insights that they've learned along the way in their years and years and years of musical performance and production history.
9:34
SPEAKER_00: And it's it's such a beautiful thing to have that community and that container, that space to be able to be affirmed that yes, I am worthy, I am capable.
9:45
SPEAKER_00: I am here at this point in time speaking to you for a reason.
9:49
SPEAKER_00: And it is a beautiful thing, and I'm gonna quit doubting it because that's just the devil trying to do its work.
9:54
SPEAKER_00: And the ministry is beautiful.
9:56
SPEAKER_00: And as a matter of fact, Miss Kat on there, who is just a badass in her own right, and I just absolutely adore and love her.
10:03
SPEAKER_00: I've never met her, it's only through an online community, but I feel like I know her soul.
10:08
SPEAKER_00: Um, and she actually, you know, put it out on a limb and said that it is selfish not to share, which I think that's a little crazy.
10:20
SPEAKER_00: At first, I was like, what?
10:21
SPEAKER_00: Like it's selfish not to share.
10:23
SPEAKER_00: Like, come on, like what if I'm just a private person?
10:26
SPEAKER_00: What if I just don't want to share sometimes?
10:29
SPEAKER_00: Like, gosh, like, can't I keep anything to myself?
10:31
SPEAKER_00: And yes, of course, there is a difference between privacy and secrets, but I do really think that it is selfish.
10:39
SPEAKER_00: Not, I agree with her.
10:41
SPEAKER_00: As I'm like, prayed on it, as I sat with Anna and meditated about it.
10:44
SPEAKER_00: I do think it is selfish for you not to share your gifts because that is what Jesus put us on this earth to do.
10:51
SPEAKER_00: What God, God gave you special talents, he gave you a fingerprint that is all your own.
10:56
SPEAKER_00: You are the only one with that fingerprint, with that human design.
11:01
SPEAKER_00: And he gave you special talents and gifts and and and clues along the way to unlock them and angels that to affirm them.
11:08
SPEAKER_00: And it's your job to share them, be courageous, be bold.
11:12
SPEAKER_00: And so I have to practice what I preach and and putting myself out there like this.
11:18
SPEAKER_00: And this is hard to get in front of the camera and do all this technology and be able to set this all up.
11:24
SPEAKER_00: It is hard.
11:25
SPEAKER_00: I mean, some people are like, wow, you're really confident.
11:27
SPEAKER_00: I didn't think that you'd be scared or nervous about it.
11:30
SPEAKER_00: And I am every time I go here, I have to like say a little prayer, like, Dear Lord, give me the strength, show me the grace, give me mercy and the wisdom to be able to make a positive impact on other people's life and my own.
11:42
SPEAKER_00: Because even by me, can I get an amen?
11:47
SPEAKER_00: Because even by me sharing, it is giving other people permission to be their true and authentic self.
11:54
SPEAKER_00: And and then my work is done here because that's what it's all about, is that love and and operating from that heart space to be able to vibrate on that level where we can just be ourselves, just be more being and less doing.
12:11
SPEAKER_00: And that is one of my many resolutions for this year.
12:15
SPEAKER_00: This new year's got me super motivated.
12:17
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, hey, hey, how are we gonna make a difference?
12:20
SPEAKER_00: How are we gonna keep propelling forward and staying in that vortex moment?
12:25
SPEAKER_00: And last year, 2025, it was like my true like intention.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: I had it at my core from all the the energy spaces and the chakras to just surrender.
12:36
SPEAKER_00: Surrender the whole time.
12:37
SPEAKER_00: I'm like, surrender, surrender, when things went my way, surrender, when things didn't go my way, surrender, when things, when I thought things were gonna go a certain way, but they only went the other way, surrender, because I just want to fully embrace and and that that peace, that peace of I and the peace of you, and the peace of mind, knowing that it is not my plan.
12:59
SPEAKER_00: And that like I said before, I really can't mess it up.
13:03
SPEAKER_00: I can't screw it up and and and it has really nothing to do with me, nothing to do with me at all.
13:08
SPEAKER_00: And as a mother, like I feel like it's everything to do with the future and my children and the legacy that they're gonna be carrying forward, and that is what gets sets me fire because they are on fire for Jesus, and I just love witnessing that.
13:20
SPEAKER_00: It's a beautiful unfolding, and it's just super awesome.
13:23
SPEAKER_00: And I'm just cheering them on the whole way, and I feel like that's like one of the biggest jobs as a parent is to be able to bring your children and expose them to this force so they can have their own experience, their own testimony, and witness his greatness and goodness.
13:37
SPEAKER_00: And a lot of times, they because they're so receptive, right?
13:40
SPEAKER_00: Like these their child their minds are just so open to all of the the magic and wonder that he creates in everyday moments.
13:48
SPEAKER_00: And so they're gonna grasp onto that and they're gonna run with it.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: And I feel like, you know, I can't look back and be like, well, I didn't, you know, have that have that, you know, opportunity.
14:00
SPEAKER_00: I didn't have that exposure to God, but I can't say that anymore.
14:04
SPEAKER_00: And that's like where the the forward motion just keeps propelling and the and the the vibration and the frequency just keeps growing because now we do, we we're here, we're gonna be here now and in this space and keep sharing and keep loving and and keep growing.
14:18
SPEAKER_00: And and I'm just so stoked that I have all of the resources and opportunities living in America, especially to be able to do so.
14:26
SPEAKER_00: And what a wild time.
14:27
SPEAKER_00: What a wild time.
14:28
SPEAKER_00: Oh, this week has just been so great.
14:31
SPEAKER_00: I just got back from Florida with my family over winter break and kind of just getting back in the swi swing of things here.
14:38
SPEAKER_00: We went to Cocoa Beach, which is on the Atlantic Ocean, which was cold but definitely swimmable.
14:43
SPEAKER_00: I went for a couple dips.
14:44
SPEAKER_00: My kids just absolutely loved boogie boarding in there.
14:47
SPEAKER_00: I just the laughs and the giggles that they had out there was just awesome.
14:50
SPEAKER_00: And then me being able to ground down on the beach and read my book, which was called Mad Honey.
14:56
SPEAKER_00: I'm not gonna spoil it for everyone that did not get to read Mad Honey by Jody Pacult and another author.
15:02
SPEAKER_00: I am sorry, I apologize, I don't know her name offhand, but man, that was like sitting on the edge of your seat, mind-blowing.
15:08
SPEAKER_00: The reading, it was just nice to read something that you know wasn't so like dense in in a knowledge base.
15:15
SPEAKER_00: But man, I left after that book, after reading Mad Honey, transformed.
15:19
SPEAKER_00: Like it opened up my mind, it opened up my heart, and the way that the the way that they weaved that that book together just really was fascinating.
15:29
SPEAKER_00: And and I'm a changed person if for the better because of it.
15:32
SPEAKER_00: I I would would love to tell you what it was about, but I can't.
15:35
SPEAKER_00: I can't tell you about it because it would spoil the entire book, and I don't want to be that person.
15:39
SPEAKER_00: I don't want to be that the movie spoiler, but just reading not dense material where it's all about, you know, health and wellness and systems and and herbs and all this.
15:48
SPEAKER_00: It was just kind of liberating to be able to finish that book in that in that week's time.
15:52
SPEAKER_00: That was one of the highlights uh for me, aside from all the ice cream that we ate.
15:56
SPEAKER_00: I swear my kids ate ice cream every single day on the vacation, if not two or three times a day.
16:04
SPEAKER_00: I uh they just overindulged, and I was like, hey, we're on vacation.
16:08
SPEAKER_00: Surrender, surrender to what is.
16:12
SPEAKER_00: And I just love it.
16:13
SPEAKER_00: But looking back, I am hitting the gym extra hard.
16:16
SPEAKER_00: I am one of those people.
16:17
SPEAKER_00: I'm at the YMCA.
16:18
SPEAKER_00: I was there three times this week, just working it out and planking at home, doing wall sits at home and other like stretching and some yoga at home.
16:26
SPEAKER_00: Because I'm like, I gotta work off this ice cream because I was right there with them, but it was so good, no regrets.
16:31
SPEAKER_00: But now one of my things for this year is and it's a jingle, so it sticks in my head.
16:36
SPEAKER_00: It goes, no sweets till Sunday.
16:41
SPEAKER_00: Uh uh, because there's a sweet lady Kieran at our church that makes all kinds of homemade goodies.
16:47
SPEAKER_00: So if I'm gonna eat any sweet, it's gonna be the homemade one from Karen, where she's pouring literally her love and her little piece of her soul into every bite.
16:55
SPEAKER_00: And I just love it.
16:56
SPEAKER_00: So, Karen, I'm holding up for you, and no sweets till Sunday.
16:58
SPEAKER_00: And that'll hold me accountable because I literally like I might not drink alcohol anymore.
17:04
SPEAKER_00: I quit smoking cigarettes a long time ago.
17:07
SPEAKER_00: I don't have very many vices, so to speak.
17:10
SPEAKER_00: So sugar is one of them.
17:12
SPEAKER_00: Like, and there is for a while, like I was addicted, like I could not say no, and it's all around you.
17:17
SPEAKER_00: You don't realize like how much sweets are out there until you're like, oh my gosh, it's everywhere, and everyone's always offering me.
17:22
SPEAKER_00: And especially around the holidays, right?
17:24
SPEAKER_00: When it's like that's the love language, right?
17:26
SPEAKER_00: Is you're baking for people, you're giving to people, and then of course, reciprocity and all that just brings it back to you tenfold, and you're like, no, I am 38 and I've had two children, and I don't get to the gym as much as I should, and I cannot eat whenever I want, whenever I want, and it's just not the reality.
17:45
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, this button I can get even better than they already are.
17:49
SPEAKER_00: Woo! So I gotta maintain, maintain that.
17:53
SPEAKER_00: So no sweets till Sunday will really help me for that.
17:57
SPEAKER_00: I'm so excited.
17:58
SPEAKER_00: I actually get the opportunity to worship this Sunday, and by worship, I'm meaning singing with the worship team.
18:06
SPEAKER_00: And that is just a wonderful thing.
18:08
SPEAKER_00: I think, you know, sharing that with the Freedom Family, I was just kind of digesting, like having that opportunity, being able to join the worship team at church.
18:16
SPEAKER_00: I've been, I'll be doing it for eight months now, uh coming up on a year in April, right around Easter time.
18:23
SPEAKER_00: And I was just like, wow, like I don't think, and and then another testimony of how good our God is.
18:31
SPEAKER_00: I don't think at any other time I would have been able to say yes to this opportunity if it wasn't in the name of Jesus.
18:39
SPEAKER_00: Like, I would love to join a band.
18:41
SPEAKER_00: I would love to be able to sing cover songs or make up my own songs and and and and and commit to that.
18:46
SPEAKER_00: But the reality is I have I have small children.
18:49
SPEAKER_00: I have a 10 and 12-year-old who need all of my love and attention, and I with a grateful heart give it to them, but I wouldn't be able to commit to anything else.
18:56
SPEAKER_00: But the fact that it is for Jesus, that it is for the church was just like a no-brainer for me.
19:01
SPEAKER_00: I was like, yes, yes, this is happening.
19:03
SPEAKER_00: Yes, I can take this commitment and and commit to this fellowship building because I feel like the songs that we're singing just speak to to my soul.
19:14
SPEAKER_00: And the people that I'm singing with are just so sweet and so so pure and just regular people, just like me, and and so relatable.
19:22
SPEAKER_00: So I love forming those new relationships with the people that have dedicated some of their time and energy to take their fellowship to the next level and commit to Jesus that way.
19:34
SPEAKER_00: Um, there's a word for it, but it'll come to me.
19:37
SPEAKER_00: But it's just so sweet.
19:38
SPEAKER_00: And honestly, the songs this week are some humdingers.
19:42
SPEAKER_00: We have God of Wonders, where it's it's awesome, where it's Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth.
19:53
SPEAKER_00: Hallelujah to the Lord of heaven and earth, and then it's good God.
20:00
SPEAKER_00: Almighty, I hope you'll find me praising your name no matter what comes.
20:10
SPEAKER_00: Oh, so it tell me, is he good?
20:14
SPEAKER_00: He's good.
20:15
SPEAKER_00: Tell me, is he good?
20:17
SPEAKER_00: He's God.
20:19
SPEAKER_00: God, God almighty.
20:24
SPEAKER_00: Yes, uh, and then King of Glory, where it is.
20:30
SPEAKER_00: Who is this King of Glory?
20:32
SPEAKER_00: The Lord strong and mighty.
20:36
SPEAKER_00: Who is this King of Glory?
20:38
SPEAKER_00: The Lord strong.
20:39
SPEAKER_00: I don't have the beat right on that.
20:40
SPEAKER_00: I gotta practice that one a little bit more.
20:43
SPEAKER_00: Oh, but this hallelujah feeling.
20:45
SPEAKER_00: I literally I get so jacked on this.
20:48
SPEAKER_00: And I feel like sometimes when I first started singing there, like honestly, they've been like really accepting of me and my energy.
20:54
SPEAKER_00: Like sometimes you gotta get used to it a little bit.
20:56
SPEAKER_00: It's a lot to handle at times.
20:59
SPEAKER_00: I uh realize this, I understand this, but this is how just God made me.
21:03
SPEAKER_00: When I first started going to church, they're like, you know, like who is this?
21:07
SPEAKER_00: But now they're like, just let it go, Ashley, because shit's contagious, okay?
21:12
SPEAKER_00: Oh, I got that holly, Louia, feeling down in my soul.
21:19
SPEAKER_00: I got that holly, Louia, feeling in it won't let go.
21:24
SPEAKER_00: Now I've been born again.
21:26
SPEAKER_00: Yes and amen.
21:28
SPEAKER_00: No matter what comes, I know I got that high, Louia, feeling down in my soul.
21:36
SPEAKER_00: Holly, Louia, Hallelujah.
21:41
SPEAKER_00: Okay, that one's done, and then glorious day.
21:43
SPEAKER_00: Oh, oh, you called my name, and I ran out of the grave, out of the darkness, into your glorious day.
21:58
SPEAKER_00: Uh, so good.
22:00
SPEAKER_00: Also, and then that's the power, and this one too.
22:04
SPEAKER_00: I we're learning this one.
22:06
SPEAKER_00: I don't know if we'll be singing this at church on Sunday, but you'll just have to come and find out because it's gonna be amazing.
22:12
SPEAKER_00: If you have not been invited to church before, they say most people don't come because they were never invited.
22:16
SPEAKER_00: This is me inviting you.
22:18
SPEAKER_00: I hope you're in the area to be able to join us for this worship and praise and uh sermon that Pastor Aaron delivers.
22:25
SPEAKER_00: It's super amazing.
22:27
SPEAKER_00: Um, it's a come as you are type church.
22:30
SPEAKER_00: No need to feel to get extra.
22:32
SPEAKER_00: Don't need to, you can leave your five-piece suit in the closet.
22:35
SPEAKER_00: Okay, you don't even have to wear a dress if you don't want to.
22:37
SPEAKER_00: You can come dirty after chores because we are not judging you.
22:41
SPEAKER_00: It is a come as you are because that's how Jesus loves us.
22:44
SPEAKER_00: He comes, he lets us come right as we are, and no matter what we do, you know, he still loves us.
22:49
SPEAKER_00: So come as you are to New Life Church off of Highway D in West Bend.
22:57
SPEAKER_00: We would love to throw our hands up and worship with you.
23:00
SPEAKER_00: Okay, okay, let's go.
23:02
SPEAKER_00: This is your personal invitation.
23:04
SPEAKER_00: Don't make me hand write it.
23:06
SPEAKER_00: Okay, but I will.
23:07
SPEAKER_00: I will.
23:07
SPEAKER_00: If you tell me that you want it that way, I will serve it up that way.
23:12
SPEAKER_00: And that has led me to another point of this new year of you know, pushing past, you know, your your self-doubt and feelings of self-worth.
23:23
SPEAKER_00: And I was thinking about the the West Bend Farmers Market application is due at the end of this month.
23:31
SPEAKER_00: And when I was first thinking about it, I'm like, yeah, like it's so like I love the West Bend Farmers Market.
23:38
SPEAKER_00: I've been doing it for seven years, every Saturday morning from 7:30 to 11 for 22 weeks throughout the summer.
23:45
SPEAKER_00: And we're pretty committed.
23:46
SPEAKER_00: Like, we are there hella high water, okay?
23:49
SPEAKER_00: Like people, we are dependable.
23:52
SPEAKER_00: We show up and we show out and we bring things and we have a lot of fun while we're doing it.
23:56
SPEAKER_00: But I'm missing my girl, Miss Kelly Sunshine.
23:58
SPEAKER_00: She is not gonna be there helping me this season, but I know my dragonfly princess and hot stuff Aunt Amy will be.
24:07
SPEAKER_00: Um, but that's beside the point.
24:08
SPEAKER_00: I was I wasn't feeling like super fired up about it, like like I want to be, because I feel like with this hemp, it's just so uncertain right now.
24:17
SPEAKER_00: And people are just what's going on with the hemp bam?
24:20
SPEAKER_00: Like, I don't know, you tell me.
24:22
SPEAKER_00: Is it gonna change?
24:23
SPEAKER_00: Is it not gonna change?
24:24
SPEAKER_00: Is it being banned in November?
24:26
SPEAKER_00: We nobody can be sure.
24:27
SPEAKER_00: It's politics as usual, which I try to stay out of because the Lord knows I have no business in politics.
24:33
SPEAKER_00: Okay, I will write the letter to my legislators, but that is bad.
24:36
SPEAKER_00: And I will I will be some kind of voice here, but I'm just gonna keep doing what I'm doing, and that's putting seeds in the ground.
24:42
SPEAKER_00: But, anyways, I prayed on it, and I'm like, Lord, am I supposed to be at the farmer's market this year?
24:50
SPEAKER_00: Is this still the path that you want for me?
24:53
SPEAKER_00: And he I heard it loud and clear.
24:58
SPEAKER_00: He wants me to perform there at the farmer's market, and it'll be just good practice, just trying it out, being able to, you know, get out there and shine your light.
25:11
SPEAKER_00: And so that made me so nervous.
25:13
SPEAKER_00: And I was like, really, like perform like what?
25:16
SPEAKER_00: Like with the what do I bring my handy dandy microphone over there and you know, just a speaker?
25:21
SPEAKER_00: Do I bring my karaoke set my son's karaoke set?
25:25
SPEAKER_00: What do I do?
25:26
SPEAKER_00: What's going on?
25:28
SPEAKER_00: And it was like, yeah, yeah, do what you gotta do.
25:31
SPEAKER_00: Like, that's what you're gonna be doing.
25:32
SPEAKER_00: So normally we rent two stalls at the farmers market, and I don't necessarily need a two-space stall space.
25:39
SPEAKER_00: I just don't like being on top of one another.
25:41
SPEAKER_00: And having an extra space gives room for activities.
25:45
SPEAKER_00: So I actually have an email out to the events coordinator at the West Bend Farmers Market, and I'm speaking it into existence that he will let me perform maybe once a month at the farmer's market, in which what would I perform?
25:59
SPEAKER_00: I have a ton of musical instruments of all different sorts, they're fun and funky and fresh, and I know a little bit about a lot of them, and so I want to play them.
26:07
SPEAKER_00: I could bring my sound bowls, I could bring my chimes, I could bring my lovely voice, which will travel with me everywhere, and Lord knows it carries.
26:14
SPEAKER_00: I thought I could, you know, sing the songs that we're learning at church as a wonderful practice and spread the message.
26:21
SPEAKER_00: And who knows what that'll be.
26:23
SPEAKER_00: But that kind of put me on fire and kind of like spoke to the evolution of where I'm going with this communication and herbalist degree.
26:29
SPEAKER_00: I'm hoping to actually create songs about Jesus and about his handiwork and herbalism and you know, can make simple messages for people to remember what herbs can do for you, what Jesus can do for you, all this and that.
26:41
SPEAKER_00: And so we'll see.
26:42
SPEAKER_00: It'll all I'll I'll keep you tuned in.
26:44
SPEAKER_00: Let me know if I'll be forming.
26:46
SPEAKER_00: If not, if nope, nope, I'm gonna be to perform, stay tuned, and I'll let you know if it's actually gonna happen.
26:52
SPEAKER_00: But I think that'd be pretty super groovy, and I'm up for the challenge because that is where the magic happens, that's where the growth happens, is when you do things that make you super uncomfortable.
27:01
SPEAKER_00: And I must say that would make me super uncomfortable.
27:04
SPEAKER_00: But I just love having these songs and being equipped with these lyrics because I'll tell you what, when I do have that doubt and that that devil on my shoulder, I just start singing that hallelujah.
27:17
SPEAKER_00: I got that hallelujah, feeling down in my soul, and that just devil, he goes away.
27:23
SPEAKER_00: I don't even know where he goes, but he ain't here, okay?
27:25
SPEAKER_00: And then and then I get back into that vortex and then live my true purpose and my truth, speaking my truth and being just my true, authentic, unapologetic Lee Ashley.
27:35
SPEAKER_00: Woohoo, that's me.
27:37
SPEAKER_00: That's me, and that is me, your humble and modest hemp farmer who has been growing hemp with my husband Danny for the since 2019, and it has been a wild, fun, and crazy journey.
27:51
SPEAKER_00: And I feel like it is just right now, today, there was a huge hearing at in Madison about hemp and the Senate Bill 682 and the Assembly Bill 747.
28:09
SPEAKER_00: And I know my friends over at the Wisconsin Hemp Farmers Manufacturer Association, WEFMA, Philip Scott and Dustin Reimenheimer, and a lot of other business owners showed up in that space today.
28:23
SPEAKER_00: And they were able to use this democracy and voice their opinions and concerns and express themselves in a way that's so admirable and so courageous and so needed.
28:34
SPEAKER_00: It's just this hemp ban is wild.
28:37
SPEAKER_00: What they slipped into the reopening of the government that they're essentially gonna ban hemp in November of 2026.
28:44
SPEAKER_00: And that bans most CBD products because they're regulating that 0.3 Delta 9 compliancy off of a container, not per piece.
28:52
SPEAKER_00: And so that totally wipes out any of the THCA Delta 8 and Delta 9 products, which I think that was the intention was to close that loophole.
29:01
SPEAKER_00: But the verbiage on there is even more restrictive than we could ever even fathom.
29:06
SPEAKER_00: So I'm really not quite sure.
29:09
SPEAKER_00: Yes, we have time to speak on Wisconsin's behalf and be able to write some sensible legislator that is going to make sense for our constituents in our great state, pushing us forward.
29:22
SPEAKER_00: Um, but it's gonna take a lot of time, effort, and energy from the great individuals that can really speak politics and get out there and let their voices be heard and make those relationships with the Senate to be able to pass a bill that makes sense for us.
29:36
SPEAKER_00: Because how are you gonna tell business owners that yeah, you can build your entire life, your entire livelihood on a CBD and hemp and wellness for their community, but on this day, no more.
29:49
SPEAKER_00: No, shut it down.
29:50
SPEAKER_00: The products are out.
29:51
SPEAKER_00: Like the genie is out of the bottle.
29:54
SPEAKER_00: You know, like people know that this plant is good and that it's helping them.
29:59
SPEAKER_00: And like me, like how are you even talking about?
30:00
SPEAKER_00: Like, yes, I can grow hemp for seven years, but yet this year, I don't know if I'm putting seeds in the ground because I don't know if they're gonna be legal or compliant or not.
30:08
SPEAKER_00: Like, what?
30:09
SPEAKER_00: I'm just really scratching my head about the rationale about it all, and I really just don't make sense to me.
30:14
SPEAKER_00: And you know, it's a very volatile market as it is, you know, with it being put in there with firearms and sex toys, the way that you know, our processing and things that we have to work with.
30:24
SPEAKER_00: That's what we're the the group that we're lumped into.
30:27
SPEAKER_00: But now that President Trump has rescheduled cannabis from schedule one to schedule three drug has really opened up the doors for research that is so necessary and needed to kind of deploy all these misunderstandings and and the stigma associated with the plant because it's nonsense.
30:50
SPEAKER_00: It really is, it's propaganda and it's politics as usual that's fed by corporate greed and a bunch of lame brains who can't seem to wrap their head around that.
30:59
SPEAKER_00: It is a plant, God given, and we are here to utilize it.
31:03
SPEAKER_00: And without man misconstruing this and and being fueled by ulterior motives, like we really have an opportunity to be able to dive into the science of the endocannabinoid system, that the cannabinoids that are available in cannabis and how that interacts with our systems and improve the quality of life for people.
31:24
SPEAKER_00: And that's really what it's all about.
31:26
SPEAKER_00: And that's how God intended it, and that's how nature intended it.
31:30
SPEAKER_00: And that's what I can really get behind is just speaking this common sense goodness that needs to happen.
31:38
SPEAKER_00: So shoot, I lost one of my my cameras, but that's okay.
31:41
SPEAKER_00: We'll get back, we'll get it back somehow.
31:44
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, common sense goodness.
31:46
SPEAKER_00: And so when people ask me what's going on with the hemp bill, you know, geez lord, I wish I had the answers for you, but I just really, I really don't.
31:56
SPEAKER_00: And I and I wish I did.
31:58
SPEAKER_00: And maybe one day, maybe one day I will.
32:02
SPEAKER_00: But today is is is that day where they met in Madison to be able to talk about the the hemp, the hemp bills, and to keep our children safe, to make industry standards that producers can follow.
32:17
SPEAKER_00: And I really hope it does make a difference and that we can see keep going forward here in Wisconsin.
32:23
SPEAKER_00: I know that we here at DNA Hemp can promise the same uh sun-grown, organic, high vibrational healing like we've always been.
32:33
SPEAKER_00: Working with plant medicine has been one of the greatest gifts that he has bestowed upon me and a wonderful opportunity to keep on the soapbox and in stand up for our rights to be able to self-medicate ourselves from nature's gifts.
32:49
SPEAKER_00: And I'm here to announce the alliance and partnership with Antidote Health Company, which is a functional health facility that is providing primary care for individuals that are looking to go down the holistic route.
33:06
SPEAKER_00: So Antidote in Westband, Wisconsin now offers our entire natural pharmacy as different options for people to choose and to enhance their quality of life and feel better.
33:18
SPEAKER_00: And it's all legal, it is licensed and insured, it is trusted, third-party lab tested.
33:24
SPEAKER_00: We have been playing by all the rules and then some.
33:27
SPEAKER_00: So I really hope that whatever the new bills that are coming to light can get rid of the shady characters and the misaligned stigmas that are out there of people that are just out there and make a quick buck because clearly that is not us, and that's not the good folks that showed up there today and were able to voice their opinions and stand up for uh somebody's gotta.
33:52
SPEAKER_00: And if it's not them, then who?
33:53
SPEAKER_00: If it ain't me, then who?
33:54
SPEAKER_00: Then and if it ain't now, then when?
33:56
SPEAKER_00: You know, all of that good stuff.
33:57
SPEAKER_00: So I think that's really inspiring that they took their time and energy to be able to do that.
34:03
SPEAKER_00: And kudos to them.
34:05
SPEAKER_00: That is just such a wonderful, wonderful thing.
34:09
SPEAKER_00: And what else were as I going to on to?
34:12
SPEAKER_00: I really wanted to challenge you in this new year.
34:17
SPEAKER_00: I know that sometimes resolutions can be cringy, and you know, it's kind of like, oh, I'll make a resolution, and then you don't stick by it, but really pray on it.
34:29
SPEAKER_00: Meditate on it, dig deep of what you want your 2026 to look like, speak it into existence and share it with a friend because that's really just affirming what your goals are, and you can be held accountable.
34:48
SPEAKER_00: For me, instead of surrendering, you know, I'm still gonna be surrendering this year, but I really my word this year is a tract.
35:00
SPEAKER_00: I'm done chasing, I'm done, you know, singing the song of want you to want me.
35:08
SPEAKER_00: And I certainly do, but I'm not chasing you anymore.
35:12
SPEAKER_00: I'm just not.
35:13
SPEAKER_00: I know, you know, my vibe will attract my tribe.
35:18
SPEAKER_00: And I hope that I can attract guests on this podcast that really want to be here and have a wonderful message to share.
35:26
SPEAKER_00: And I'm here to hold space for that and and vibe with you and be able to help spread that good message.
35:32
SPEAKER_00: It doesn't necessarily have to be about Jesus, but if it is, that's a bonus.
35:36
SPEAKER_00: But I'm a multifaceted human and with a big, huge, open and loving heart.
35:41
SPEAKER_00: So I'm I have open ears and an open heart and an open mind to be able to receive any messages that come my way.
35:48
SPEAKER_00: But I really just want to attract things that are aligned with me, and I'm becoming a lot better of with that discernment of what is working for me and what isn't.
36:01
SPEAKER_00: And and I'm not, I'm just done chasing.
36:03
SPEAKER_00: And I don't know if it's my age and where I'm at and my career and my life.
36:06
SPEAKER_00: Like I'm just not chasing anymore.
36:08
SPEAKER_00: I'm attracting.
36:09
SPEAKER_00: And I know that again, God is so, so good that He is going to put the people in my life that need to be in my life.
36:16
SPEAKER_00: He's gonna take away the people out of my life that don't that no longer serve me.
36:20
SPEAKER_00: And I know that everything's going according to plan and all things together are working together for good.
36:25
SPEAKER_00: So this is really, really good news for the new year.
36:28
SPEAKER_00: So that is my intention this year, and I have a goal to meditate for at least 10 minutes a day.
36:39
SPEAKER_00: And I know first that seems like a lot, or like, whoa, 10 minutes a day, like I can't even focus for 30 seconds.
36:47
SPEAKER_00: Well, then start at 30 seconds.
36:49
SPEAKER_00: Start with one minute, then it's gonna work its way up to two.
36:52
SPEAKER_00: Maybe you're up to five minutes by the end of the year.
36:55
SPEAKER_00: That's how I was.
36:56
SPEAKER_00: I've been meditating for quite some time, inconsistently.
37:00
SPEAKER_00: So I, you know, try to meditate multiple times a week.
37:03
SPEAKER_00: Gotten pretty good about doing it every day.
37:05
SPEAKER_00: So that's why I think I can step my game up a little bit here and do 10 minutes a day.
37:10
SPEAKER_00: But maybe yeah, you know, he always meets you where you're at.
37:14
SPEAKER_00: So even if you meditate for a couple seconds a day, just with the intention of, you know, clearing your mind and letting it go and and and and just not thinking about anything and then letting things flow the insights flow into you, you'd be pleasantly surprised what you download, what the insights are, what you come up with, even what you think of.
37:36
SPEAKER_00: Just make sure that's not ego or the devil sneaking in because he tends to want to sneak into those quiet moments that you etch out for yourself.
37:42
SPEAKER_00: But that is just a prayer way of saying, no, no, no, not today, devil.
37:46
SPEAKER_00: Um, so my goal, 10 minutes a day for meditation.
37:49
SPEAKER_00: And I really want to be consistent with the physicality of working out, you know, physical sweat at least three times a week.
37:57
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna do planks at home every day.
38:00
SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna drink more water, even though I drank a ton of water, but Lord knows I can always drink some more, and continue to podcast at least once a week.
38:08
SPEAKER_00: And maybe it is just by myself, maybe it is just me.
38:11
SPEAKER_00: Lord knows I got enough to say and enough to share.
38:14
SPEAKER_00: And I'm so excited to bring that energy from the farm and what we're doing here and the movement that we're making here and keep just showing up.
38:23
SPEAKER_00: So those are some of my goals.
38:25
SPEAKER_00: I took a while, uh kind of an afternoon to myself to journal and write down what all my goals are and what I see 2026 looking like.
38:34
SPEAKER_00: And then I even went as far as to do a five-year and 10-year goals just to kind of keep me on track, and then I can trip myself out later when I read them and I'm like, whoa, that all happened.
38:43
SPEAKER_00: But yeah, it's gonna be really, really good.
38:46
SPEAKER_00: 2026.
38:48
SPEAKER_00: We're coming, we're gonna be coming up in February, the year of the horse, and this season was the year of the snake.
38:54
SPEAKER_00: So, really letting go of what no longer serves you, and the year of the horse is like that fire, that passion, and just running wild with it.
39:01
SPEAKER_00: So, those wild horses.
39:04
SPEAKER_00: I want to be just like them in 2026.
39:07
SPEAKER_00: So it is a uh a beautiful, blessed life that we get to share together, and you only get una vida, one life.
39:18
SPEAKER_00: So let's do it to it, friends.
39:20
SPEAKER_00: Thank you so much for tapping in and tuning in and turning it all the way on with me today.
39:25
SPEAKER_00: Feel free to leave me some stars, leave me some likes, maybe even share it with some of your friends if this resonated with you at all.
39:32
SPEAKER_00: And if it didn't, that's okay too.
39:34
SPEAKER_00: It's sometimes, you know, what you don't like in other people is maybe some shadow work that you have to do within yourself.
39:42
SPEAKER_00: So I'm just gonna keep on being me.
39:45
SPEAKER_00: And you keep on being you because it is a beautiful, wonderful thing, and it is worth celebrating for every single day, moment by moment, day by day, year after year.
39:57
SPEAKER_00: Let's just keep showing up and getting after.
40:00
SPEAKER_00: And elevating those vibrations.
40:02
SPEAKER_00: Can you do it?
40:02
SPEAKER_00: Can I get a amen?
40:07
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
40:08
SPEAKER_00: All right.
40:09
SPEAKER_00: I love you so much.
40:11
SPEAKER_00: And I couldn't be more thrilled to share this space with you.
40:15
SPEAKER_00: I'm going to try to end this thing at 42 minutes.
40:20
SPEAKER_00: I know I went a little over, but this is pretty good.
40:22
SPEAKER_00: I'm just going to say a little prayer.
40:25
SPEAKER_00: And if you want to join me, that'd be wonderful.
40:27
SPEAKER_00: If you could take a deep breath in.
40:31
SPEAKER_00: Take a deep breath out and let it all go.
40:35
SPEAKER_00: And then close your eyes and drop into a space of peace and tranquility.
40:40
SPEAKER_00: And where we live in a utopia of a world that people are positive, people are happy, people have received the gift of salvation.
40:52
SPEAKER_00: And that is found in our good Lord Jesus Christ that tells us to go tell it on the mountain with joy in our hearts and be fishers of men and spread the good news that we don't have to worry, that we can cast all of our worries and fears and burdens onto him and that he will let us be light and joyous and let us live to share our gifts.
41:18
SPEAKER_00: And may you always have the courage to keep doing so.
41:22
SPEAKER_00: And with his strength and with his almighty awesomeness, as he has paid the price on the cross and you know, gave us his only son to shed his blood for our sins and make us, as we are sin nature, make us perfect in his eyes, and know that we have eternity to be able to figure these things out together with so much love and grace and mercy in my heart.
41:54
SPEAKER_00: I love you.
41:56
SPEAKER_00: I'm sorry.
41:58
SPEAKER_00: Please forgive me.
42:00
SPEAKER_00: Thank you.
42:03
SPEAKER_00: God bless.
