Wild And Free

Have you felt disconnected, lost, and over-stimulated? When we experience these very real feelings and emotions, the only thing that truly helps us come back to a place of peace and tranquility is immersing ourselves in the natural world. In this episode, you will hear the immense benefits from returning back to humanity's roots.

42% of the adult United States population is deficient in Vitamin D and other regions of the world have severe Vitamin D deficiencies as well. Some of the symptoms of deficiency include: fatigue, muscle weakness, chronic pain, headaches, and depression. As you can see, these symptoms are very common and can be easily overlooked and dismissed by having other causes. Onjae offers up his experience with Vitamin D deficiency and how you can stay healthy by getting optimal absorption.

Have you ever felt like there are certain emotions and feelings that you are scared to express, due to the fear of judgement or shame? Once we started opening up and embracing our innate masculine and feminine energy, we both felt so much more connected with ourselves and had more confidence to show up authentically.  In this episode, we are deconstructing the beliefs and stereotypes that are built around masculinity and femininity so you can feel free to be who you are!

Have you ever thought about what it would be like if you stopped wearing makeup? In this day and age, its become such a common practice in our society for women to wear makeup no matter what the occasion is. Some women feel like they won't be seen as beautiful without it. Abigail didn't want to feel dependent on makeup to feel beautiful. She wanted to change the narrative by letting her natural beauty show and inspire others to be confident in their own authenticity.

It can be difficult to keep good hygiene on the road. Letting go of the simple luxuries of a home like warm water, a shower, bathtub, or even your own toilet certainly poses some challenges to keep clean while traveling in a van. Granted we do find ourselves getting a little stinky from time to time(that's just the nature of this way of living), we have figured out quite a few ways to make sure we stay clean and somewhat presentable while living this lifestyle. 

Do you smoke weed? The consumption of cannabis has become something that is rather commonplace in our society. Even though at one time it was incredibly demonized, it has gained popularity and a new reputation as a plant that can heal and be consumed recreationally. However, we let go of utilizing the drug and we wanted to share with you why we made that decision.

Have you ever set out to achieve a goal or make a habit stick, but you completely lost motivation (not even half-way along the journey)? You are not alone my friends... That's why we want to offer up to you tactics that we have employed that have helped us stay motivated and on course to achieve our goals!

In this episode, we talk about the biggest pitfalls when holding onto expectations of not only just our partners, but ourselves too. 

Have you ever wondered why certain cultures and groups of people do things a certain way? We believe that questioning social belief systems is crucial to the development of our own unique beliefs. Instead of following the herd, we all have the opportunity to embark on a journey that is authentically and genuinely ours. Why not make your dreams come true? And never let someone tell you otherwise!

 Losing weight, gaining it all back again, and then have to go on another diet to bring the weight back down... When will the dieting cycle end? Wouldn't it be nice if you could stay lean year-round without ever dieting again? There is a super simple way to make that your reality and here's how:

Have you ever felt like you want to build or create something but you don't feel qualified? Maybe a van conversion, a website, business, or help others... You don't have to wait for someone's approval to bring a dream of yours to fruition. You are qualified to bring YOUR unique creativity to whatever you aspire to do.

What are the things you do for yourself that help ground you and bring more enjoyment into your life? We believe it is crucial to establish self-practices that contribute to our mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well being. In this episode, we open up to our unique practices that help us recharge, center ourselves, and bring more vitality to our existence.

Life is too short not to "dive deep" into our emotional, affectionate, and spiritual selves with another human being. Staying on the surface and not actually opening up to friends, partners, or family members can really isolate us. Instead, let us be transparent and vulnerable with others to truly establish a connection with them like no other! We will then find those who love us for who we truly are.

Many might think that it's very strange that Abigail and I opt to sleep on the floor. Even when there is a soft, cushioned bed for our taking...we end up with a mat or our tatami bed on the floor. Now in the van, we are sleeping on an elevated surface but it has our floor bed as the mattress. We have found that the firmer the better for the health of our spine and the quality of our sleep!

Have you ever fallen prey to all of the "super food" and vitamin scams out there? The magic pills and exotic foods that the market claims will rid you of disease and keep your body within optimal health! Now I am not saying that they don't have nutritional benefit at all, but when you look at the prices of these items and dive into the nutritional literature...sadly, you can see that the hype is really there to just make you buy, buy, buy!

The #vanlife is a very sought after lifestyle in this day and age. Some might even say that it's the "millennial's American Dream". However glamorous it might look when seeing it on social media, there are a lot of realizations that have changed our perception of the lifestyle.

There is a lot of misconceptions that hang around the practice of meditation. A big majority of people believe they can't meditate because "they can't clear their mind". So when they do sit down and try to meditate--the thoughts that flood in, discourage them even further... Granted there are a lot of different types/protocols/procedures to get into a meditative state, this is one of the most simple and easy ways to practice. 

It can be one of the most daunting tasks of a van conversion... I know when setting up the electrical system, I didn't quite know what I was doing. I had a little bit of guidance from other online sources. The only problem was that the information didn't offer up as much directions as I would've liked. So here is the simple way that I hooked up our lights and other electrical componentry so you can now how to do it too! 

Most of us are yearning to adventure and explore the many corners of this Earth! But it's sometimes hard because of the overhead of the cost of flights, accommodations, transportation, and food. We are proposing a way that would allow you to see new places for a huge fraction of the cost and it also allows you the time to travel. It's something that you might least expect!
