  • Discipline Isn't A War: The Internal Fight No Man Ever Wins

    Discipline Isn't A War: The Internal Fight No Man Ever Wins
    Apr 16 2025
    Is your self-discipline actually causing your self-destruction? Could the grind be hindering the growth in your life? Has toxic masculinity quietly corrupted our views on taking action, and even our views about ourselves as men?

    These questions highlight much of our discussion today as we search for a way to "stay hard" on our habits while also finding a softness for ourselves. As I explain how I experienced this shift personally, I hope that it is relatable to men that feel a constant pressure to perform and attain perfection.

    This episdode will dispel the alpha-male lie that you are not doing enough, and give you a better way to deal with your self-discipline and your overall masculine duty.

  • Plant Medicine Mormons: Where Faith Meets Psychedelics

    Plant Medicine Mormons: Where Faith Meets Psychedelics
    Sep 10 2024
    Get ready for the most controversial episode yet! And one that many people might need today.

    My wife Rachel and I dive deep into the reality of our ever-evolving faith as we navigate through life. While being members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we are also strong advocates for the safe and intentional use of plant medicine. Rather than focus on the scientific studies of psychedelics, we share from the lens of our experience: that these are spiritual substances.

    We honor the Indigenous traditions that steward these medicines and credit how their knowledge is needed in today's world. We answer some questions of the soul around how these additional tools could fit into a westernized religious paradigm. As we discuss our own journey, we hope that some of it may resonate with people that might be feeling called to these aids for themselves or for others.

    This episode is to begin the discussion! Rachel and I share openly solely to help others that might feel like nothing else is working for them to feel better. We love you. God loves you. And He has given us many paths that lead to the one Truth. Enjoy!

    Hot Topic: Masculine and Feminine Energies
    Nov 29 2023
    Reap Your Roots has a NEW genre for episodes focused on hot topics that have been circulating around the health and healing space. Although the topic for today is nothing new, there has been a noticeable revival around this theme in recent times.

    My guest today is the beautiful and intelligent Rachel Daybell. She is (somehow) my wife; and excels as a photographer, breathwork facilitator, and mother also. Since I've known her I've looked up to her and appreciated her wisdom, some of which she shares here.

    For this episode, we chose separately 3 words to describe the masculine and 3 words to describe the feminine. Listen as we discuss definitions and real-life examples to gain a better understanding of these energies. Knowing about the masculine/feminine balance will help us understand ourselves better and will improve our relationships.
