Some historical events have been hiding dark secrets.

Between 1854 and 1929, more than 200,000 children were loaded onto trains and shipped across the United States. The deeper I went into the records, the less the official story held up. Many of these children were not orphans. Some had living parents; Some were taken because of poverty; Some just vanished into a system with almost no oversight at all.

Once I started looking at what else was happening in that same time period, I couldn't unsee it. Cities were burning down one after another. Insane asylums were being built in places that didn't have the population to fill them. World fairs were putting up massive Roman-style buildings in empty fields and tearing them back down a year later. Baby incubators were a paid public attraction with real infants on display.

I walk you through the orphan trains, the fires, the fairs, the asylums, the Cabbage Patch Kids, and a passage from the Book of Jasher that I genuinely could not stop thinking about. If a reset of history was happening, this is what it would look like.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction
[02:03] Over 200,000 children were relocated with no real oversight, and many weren't even orphans
[04:42] The orphan trains weren't just an American phenomenon; it was happening worldwide
[07:02] The great city fires of the 1800s and the dynamite theory nobody talks about
[09:16] The world fair buildings that appeared overnight and were never supposed to exist
[13:12] Why live infants were displayed alongside machinery at world fairs
[19:17] Who were the insane asylums actually built for, and what happened to the people inside
[22:16] The Cabbage Patch Kids origin story might not be as innocent as it seems
[23:15] The ancient text that was left out of the Bible and what it says about children in fields
[28:05] What a global reset would actually look like, and whether we already lived through one

Women trust pap smears, mammograms, skincare labels, and feminine hygiene products without question. The full risk and ingredient information rarely makes it into the conversation.

I uncover five areas of women's health where transparency is seriously lacking. Gynecological tools are sterilized with a known carcinogen. Cumulative mammogram radiation is seldom mentioned by doctors. Skincare routines layer over a hundred synthetic compounds onto your skin before breakfast. Chlorine-bleached fibers sit against permeable tissue for days each month during menstruation. And the word "fragrance" legally conceals dozens of undisclosed toxic ingredients on a single label.

This is not about fear. It's about giving women the information to make real decisions. Understanding false positive rates, reading ingredient labels, and reducing chemical burden are practical steps anyone can take today.

Whether you're rethinking your skincare shelf, questioning a screening recommendation, or learning what "fragrance" actually means, this episode fills in what the system leaves out.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction
[04:32] Ethylene oxide on pap smear instruments and what consent forms leave out
[07:24] How abnormal pap results can trigger a cascade of follow-up procedures
[12:13] Mammogram compression, cumulative radiation, and the overdiagnosis problem
[19:58] Why screening campaigns emphasize urgency over diagnostic nuance
[23:14] Endocrine-disrupting chemicals hiding in everyday skincare products
[29:20] Chlorine bleaching and the case for cleaner feminine hygiene products
[35:45] What the word "fragrance" legally conceals on ingredient labels

What if the plant you’ve been taught to destroy is actually one of the most useful things growing in your yard?

I’ve started looking at dandelions in a completely different way since living closer to the land, and that shift has changed how I think about natural medicine and self-sufficiency. When something grows this abundantly without intervention, it raises a real question about whether the issue is the plant or how we’ve been taught to see it.

Reconnecting with homesteading practices has a way of challenging modern norms around lawns, food, and what we consider useful. Every part of the dandelion serves a purpose, from leaves that support digestion to roots and flowers that have been used traditionally in everyday life.

The deeper you dig, the harder it is to ignore how much we’ve been pulled away from our bodies, our food, and the natural systems around us. Simple practices like grounding, spending time outside, and paying attention to what naturally grows start to bring that connection back and reshape how you think about natural medicine.

Something as simple as a plant in your yard can change the way you see food, health, and the systems around you.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction
[01:02] Who benefits from teaching us to hate dandelions
[07:26] Dandelions as essential bee forage, and the link to colony collapse
[10:24] Leaves, root, and flowers: what every part of the dandelion actually does for your body
[22:39] How the dandelion was rebranded as a weed, glyphosate's health concerns, and the delay-and-replace playbook
[29:05] The systemic pattern behind it all, and why questioning the dandelion leads to questioning everything

Not believing in conventional systems led me to homesteading.

I’ve been thinking about what it means to live a life that isn’t fragile, and why so many of us feel pulled toward self-sufficiency right now. This is me slowing things down and reintroducing myself in a way that actually reflects where I’m at, because this space has grown and I’ve grown with it.

I’ve spent nearly a decade learning homesteading, and what matters most to me now is helping you see that you’re more capable than you’ve been led to believe. You don’t need to grow up this way to step into self-sufficiency.

It can start in your kitchen, with small shifts like cooking your own food and learning how to analyze ingredients. As you begin to question where your food comes from, it naturally expands into food independence, self-reliance, and even deeper curiosity about the systems around you.

That curiosity becomes a foundational part of your life. It’s the motivating factor to start prepping, thinking critically, and building a life that can actually support you when things shift.

Homesteading isn’t about perfection. It’s about starting, staying curious, and realizing you have more control than you’ve been led to believe.

You’ll Learn:

[00:00] Introduction
[02:08] Why Gubba homesteads and who this lifestyle is suitable for
[08:56] How the school system kills independent thinking and where that rabbit hole leads
[16:04] The Dr. Phil appearance that made people question everything about her
[19:39] Why Gubba stopped trusting big pharma, and started making her own skincare products
[24:03] The waking-up story she hadn't fully told yet, starting with raw milk
[32:56] How questioning everything led her to a truth she'll never un-see

Are you looking for natural flea and tick prevention for dogs without relying on toxic pesticides? In this episode of the Gubba Homestead Podcast, we break down the “terrain” approach to naturally repelling fleas and ticks by strengthening your dog from the inside out.
Instead of focusing only on killing parasites, we dive into how a raw diet for dogs, immune health, skin barrier support, and environmental management can make your pet less attractive to fleas and ticks in the first place. You’ll learn how to use garlic for dogs safely, why the fear around garlic is based on a high-dose extract study, and how small, thoughtful amounts may support natural deterrence.

We also discuss how brewer’s yeast may help repel fleas, how to properly garlic for flea control, and how to apply apple cider vinegar and coconut oil for dogs to support healthy skin and coat resilience.

Finally, we take a clear look at conventional flea and tick medications, what their product inserts actually say, and why many of them are classified as pesticides. If you’re concerned about systemic flea treatments, oral tick medications, or chemical spot-ons, this episode gives you a grounded, informed perspective on natural alternatives.

If you’re searching for:
• Natural flea prevention for dogs
• Natural tick repellent for pets
• Raw feeding for parasite resistance
• Garlic and brewer’s yeast for fleas
• Pesticide-free flea and tick control
This episode walks you through it in detail.
Build the terrain. Strengthen the host. Reduce chemical load. That’s the Gubba Homestead way.
