In this episode of Black Sheep, we light the metaphorical pipe and crack open a messy, unfiltered convo about the pros and cons of therapy, where it works, where it absolutely doesn’t, and all the weird in-betweens. One host is literally a therapist. The other’s married to her and definitely didn’t ask for free therapy every day of his life, but gets it anyway.

We talk about:

• Therapy vs. coaching vs. ChatGPT vs. your friend who means well but gives terrible advice.

• The emotional gymnastics of growing up in the 80s, 90s, or early 2000s.

• Over-pathologizing everything, from childhood sadness to puberty-induced existential dread.

• What happens when therapists haven’t done their own healing (spoiler: it shows).

• Why experience > degrees, and how wisdom is born through doing the damn work.

• Pharmaceutical quick fixes and the dangerous myth of the “chemical imbalance.”

• Real talk on values, emotional self-reliance, and reclaiming your healing.

Whether you’ve spent years on a therapist’s couch or you’re just starting to peel off the mask you didn’t know you were wearing, this one’s for you.

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.

In this emotionally charged episode of the Black Sheep Podcast, hosts Jen and Jess reflect on the recent Canadian federal election with raw honesty, political skepticism, and a dash of dark humour. From personal grief and grassroots activism to controversial claims of electoral interference, the duo dives deep into what they believe went wrong. From redrawn ridings and voter ID loopholes to media manipulation and immigration policies.

As self-proclaimed black sheep building a life off-grid on their homestead, they explore what real change looks like beyond ballots, community involvement, personal sovereignty, and preparing for the next fight (hello, wind farms). Buckle up for a fiery ride through politics, farming, and what it means to be awake in a system designed to keep you asleep.

In this no-holds-barred emergency episode, Jess dives headfirst into the political chaos leading up to election day... ranting, reflecting, and roasting everyone from local debate liars to virtue-signaling keyboard warriors. From getting booted off Facebook friendships to shouting “LIES!” at public forums, this episode is equal parts unfiltered fury, deadpan humor, and raw truth-telling. Expect rants about the R-word, liberal hypocrisy, stolen signs, pipeline flip-flops, and ballot box conspiracies. This isn’t your average political podcast. It's part breakdown, part breakthrough.

This ain’t your average polite Canadian political chat. In this no-holds-barred episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, Jen and Jess go off the leash to expose the backroom deals, media smoke screens, and elite puppetry infecting Canadian politics.

They break down how media manipulation, boomer brainwashing, and a complicit political class are steering the country into a ditch, and why waking the hell up matters more than ever. Oh, and yes, there’s still room for a little chicken tractor talk, because sovereignty starts at home.

If you’re tired of the lies, sick of the show, and ready to reclaim your mind, this one’s for you.

In this episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, Jess and Jen dive deep into the realities of entrepreneurship—why people chase it, why many fear it, and how it can be both liberating and terrifying. They discuss the transition from traditional jobs to self-employment, touching on the mindset shifts needed to succeed.

With humor, honesty, and real-life examples, this episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling stuck in the 9-to-5 grind and considering making the leap into self-employment. Tune in for insights, laughs, and a push to start building the life you actually want.

In this deep-dive episode of The Black Sheep Podcast, hosts Jess and Jen sip their coffee while unraveling a web of hidden histories, secret power structures, and controversial claims surrounding global elites. They kick things off with a farm update (spoiler: Peggy Sue isn’t adjusting well), before diving into their main topic: the mysterious past of French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte.

Drawing from investigative sources, they explore the shocking theory that Brigitte Macron is not who she claims to be—diving into allegations of identity swaps, hidden family connections, and deep political grooming. From the Rothschilds' influence to media manipulation and elite bloodline preservation, they expose the mechanisms used to maintain control over society.

The discussion expands into broader conspiracies—Hollywood's secret agendas, political figure deception, and the disturbing normalization of power abuse. The hosts connect dots between high-profile elites, secretive relationships, and the unsettling truth about how history is written by those in control.
