Dr. Bob Sears, board-certified pediatrician and I discuss childhood vaccination schedules in light of Pfizer's renewed application for EUA of their controversial injection for babies 6 months to 5 years. Hear Dr. Bob’s nearly three-decades of experience with children’s health issues and his perspective on how to raise healthy kids in today's increasingly toxic world.

Wherever you stand on this issue (even if you're not sure), as parents we have the right to do our due diligence and make the choices that are best for our own families, without coercion, without shaming. Unfortunately, much of the information out there is one-sided, so this episode is meant to balance that so you can make an INFORMED decision regarding your own family.

As you know, I am allllll about sovereignty and raising children naturally. That’s what pottying our babies from birth is truly rooted in! So although this episode is “different,” Dr Bob and I make lots of references to this style of parenting throughout the interview. Hope you enjoy this fresh, well-researched perspective!

 

PLEASE NOTE: If this topic is sensitive for you, I highly recommend listening in full or skipping this episode altogether. I strongly believe this decision is each person's to make, for themselves and their children, and I have no judgment for your choice in the end. My goal is to decrease division, actually. Right now we really need each other, so if you have done your due diligence and we end up disagreeing, no worries, no judgment. I just feel this is a very important and timely, almost urgent, topic, and I hope you enjoy the information.

Have you wanted to check out homeschooling but wondered how to fit “all the things” into your already busy days? Are you worried you won't be able to juggle multiple kids, or toddlers in the mix? Need help navigating your state's regulations (or even where to find them?)? You do NOT want to miss this JAM-PACKED interview!!

 

Peggy and I share how ANYONE, ANYWHERE can start giving their child/ren the gift of an empowering, engaging, life-long learning experience RIGHT NOW. (This is the SAME method I use with my kids, while also running three businesses!) And yes, we answer the socialization question!

PLEASE NOTE: I staunchly believe that parents are the best people to decide what's in their own childrens' best interests. Peggy (and yours truly!) touch quite a bit on FREEDOM in this episode, including how that relates to all the stuff that's been a huge part of everyone's life, lately. If those topics aren't your cup of tea, feel free to skip listening to the episode and jump right to the resource section for all the links homeschooling, curriculum, focus time, and work-from-home! No hard feelings, no judgment.

Maureen McDonnell, RN, founder of Millions Against Medical Mandates and I discuss Pfizer's recent application (and surprising withdrawal) for EUA of their injection for babies 6 months to 5 years. If you have been concerned with the spiking accounts of side effects of the injection, DROP EVERYTHING and listen in!

Wherever you stand on this issue (even if you're not sure), as parents we have the right to do our due diligence and make the choices that are best for our own families, without coercion, without shaming. Unfortunately, much of the information out there is one-sided, so this episode is meant to balance that so you can make an INFORMED decision regarding your own family.

As you know, I am allllll about sovereignty and raising children naturally. That’s what pottying our babies from birth is truly rooted in! So although this episode is “different,” Maureen and I make lots of references to this style of parenting throughout the interview. Hope you enjoy this fresh, well-researched perspective!

PLEASE NOTE: If this topic is sensitive for you, I highly recommend listening in full or skipping this episode altogether. I strongly believe this decision is each person's to make, for themselves and their children, and I have no judgment for your choice in the end. My goal is to decrease division, actually. Right now we really need each other, so if you have done your due diligence and we end up disagreeing, no worries, no judgment. I just feel this is a very important and timely, almost urgent, topic, and I hope you enjoy the information.
