New Humans for New Earth

011: Riding Joyfully To Oil Freedom

In a country literally built around the car, switching to bike life can feel intimidating. Won’t I sweat? Isn’t it dangerous? Won’t it take forever? If you’ve found yourself asking one or all of these questions, you’re not alone. (And there’s no need to worry, because the answers will pleasantly surprise you). In this episode, Queenie is joined by Brad Davis owner of Nomad Cycles and e-bike evangelist to discuss the movement taking over our cities: e-bikes. They discuss all things about the e-bike experience. This is bigger than a question of “should I own a car or not?” It impacts our environment, communities, and how we connect with the world around us while bringing back a sense of whimsy into everyday life.

010: How to Find Certainty in Uncertain Times

We're living in a time where it's becoming increasingly difficult to know what's true. Information is constant, conflicting, and easily manipulated (through AI, media narratives, and bill!onaire interests shaping the direction of reality itself). There are loud, monied influences that would like you to believe the world is moving one particular way, and to buy into that story. And if you don't have something else to ground into, it's disorienting. As old paradigms dissolve and the ground seems to be shifting under your feet, it's very easy to get pulled into external narratives and lose your sense of clarity. So how do we prevent ourselves from being swept up? What do we use to inform our decisions when logic and perception feel unreliable? In this episode, I explore intuition as the voice of the soul, and how to build a relationship with it. I talk about choosing a method to connect with your intuition, how to ask clear and honest questions, and how to interpret the answers through the body. Our minds are powerful, but they are meant to be used as a tool to serve something deeper. As this episode drops on Earth Day, it's a reminder that this intelligence is part of everything. The more we learn to listen, the more clearly we can move through this transition into New Earth. In this episode, 🧭Guidance in the chaos: Making aligned decisions in the information overload, and this moment as an invitation to go within 🗝️Learning the language: Practical ways to connect with your intuition: how to ask, receive answers, and interpret signals through the body 👁️The body-soul relationship: As humanity learns to listen within, we access guidance from higher intelligence, both internally and beyond Dive Deeper: Read Journey of Souls: https://bookshop.org/a/120651/9781567184853 [https://bookshop.org/a/120651/9781567184853] Stay connected: @newhumansfornewearth on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook & YouTube www.newhumansfornewearth.com [http://www.newhumansfornewearth.com] New episodes every Wednesday By accessing this Podcast, I acknowledge that the entire contents are the property of New Humans for New Earth, or used by New Humans for New Earth with permission, and are protected under U.S. and international copyright and trademark laws.

009: Imagining Life Beyond Money with Karl Wallace

This episode drops on Tax Day, which makes it the perfect moment to take a closer look at money. How it shapes our lives, and how it influences the way we define value, security, freedom, and success. We explore the ways that money impacts our relationships, decisions, society at large, and ask whether the system we rely on is really the only way to live, or just the most familiar one. I'm joined by Karl Wallace, a builder, welder, self-proclaimed bike geek, and mechanical artist who is dedicating his life to creating alternatives. His work focuses on helping people live more independently and sustainably, from rethinking transportation to experimenting with alternative fuel and off-grid systems. We talk about why those options aren't widely promoted, how to creatively work within and around existing structures, and why investing in sustainability can be a form of future-proofing your life. In this episode, 🧠 How money shapes us: the influence on our values, relationships and sense of security 🛠️ Alternatives to full dependence on traditional systems: exploring more self-reliant ways to live and power our lives 🔄 Investing in the future: as the old systems begin to crumble, now is the time to be less dependent on the grid and more intentional with keeping money in your community Support your local credit union!

008: Finding the Light in Dark Times with Gabriel Torres

In this moment of seemingly endless stories of violence, chaos, and environmental destruction, it’s easy to feel disheartened. To feel overwhelmed by darkness and pessimistic about where we’re headed. In this episode, we explore the idea that either everything is sacred and magnificently orchestrated or nothing is. Gifted tattoo artist Gabriel Torres -owner and tattooist at Shamanic ink- is back for another episode to continue our exploration of what it means to be a New Human. We discuss how to find your center beneath the noise and chaos. And how this heavy (yet transformative) moment may be the beginning of a more conscious New Earth. As old structures begin to unravel, today is an opportunity to choose connection, community, and a more conscious way of living.

007: Conscious Consumption in an Abundant World

I used to think thrifting was something you did until you could afford not to. When I finally entered the workforce, I remember thinking, "Finally! I don't have to thrift anymore!" But the more I bought into fast fashion and buying new, the more I started to feel like a f****ng fool. 🥴 In this episode, I unpack why. From the fashion industry's massive environmental impact, to the sheer volume of waste generated every second, I take a closer look at the true cost of convenience. When we stop expecting instant gratification and start embracing secondhand as a kind of treasure hunt, buying directly from people, or donating within our communities, we keep resources circulating locally and reduce unnecessary waste. Join me in rethinking value in a system that equates success with spending, and recognizing that secondhand isn't a limitation but a smarter, more conscious way to tread a little lighter on this Earth. In this episode, 🛍️The state of the global clothing industry: Waste, pollution, exploitation & corporate greed 🪞Changing cultural expectations: The internal mindset shift to live secondhand life 🤝Thinking beyond thrift stores: Other options for clothing donations and resale that keep money in our communities Make your own laundry detergent: Ingredients: 2 cups Borax 2 cups washing soda 1 bar castile soap (grated) Grate the bar of castile soap into a bowl. Add 2 cups of Borax and 2 cups of washing soda and mix. Store in a good-sized, reusable container. Use 2 tablespoons per load of laundry. For smaller loads, just use 1 tablespoon.
