Jenni is a member of the LFTN and TSP community living with Stage 2 Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia. While she introduced “The Word of The Year” to our community, she’s also exhibited her courage with being transparent and vulnerable in sharing her challenges and lessons she’s learned along the way.

Good old-fashioned pot roast is nothing to sneeze at. It warms the belly and the heart and satisfies the taste buds. Traditional renditions include root crops like potatoes, carrot, and turnips, but there’s no need to limit yours.

Whether you prefer to thicken the broth to a light gravy in that last half hour before dinner or leave the drippinga as they are, this meal-in-one is a time-saver. Prep time is miniscule: thaw, season the meat, layer meat, liquids, and vegetables into a tightly-covered baking dish, and let it finish making your meal.

Nicole admires the flavor and texture a Römertopf baker provides, but even that is far from critical.

Main content of the show

Sarah Thompson uses the tools of classical homeopathy and shamanic perspectives to help you heal at the deepest level of susceptibility with safe homeopathic remedies and curated personal support. Her own path to transformational healing came through her diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia in 2010; if you are struggling with chronic ill health on any level, and feel as if you can’t get answers or make sustained progress, Homeopathy clears the way. Sarah trained at the Baylight Center for Homeopathy, the Academy for Homeopathic Education, Jaguar Path School of Shamanism, and Nancy Frederick Attunement, and holds certifications and registrations from the Association for International Homeopathic Certification, the Council for Homeopathic Certification, and the North American Society of Homeopaths

Frugality Tip from Dan

My first tip is to have gorilla tape, wherever you go. If you have quality pens that you can replace the ink, wrap it with as much tape as is comfortable for writing, and keep it until you use it. You never know when some formally tape is the difference between driving home and getting towed, which is a big difference of time and money. Also, who knows what other problems can be fixed for long enough to replace or properly fix the issue. It has saved my butt.
