Welcome Back! Thank you so much for joining us! I am so excited to share with you my conversation I had with former LEO turned botanical freedom fighter, Jon Griggs! Jon is a kratom consumer and advocate. He's been working in law enforcement since he's been 21 years old. He worked in a variety of capacities such as: corrections officer, police officer, gang task force officer and investigator. Jon was subsequently fired for whistleblowing from his task force position in St. Louis Missouri! He blew the whistle on officers smuggling heroin to sell to inmates in drug treatment program and other blatant corruption. He won a 3 year lawsuit for wrongful termination against the State of Missouri. Jon has been instrumental in facilitating the ongoing investigation into the in-custody murder of Marshall Price. The Arkansas State Police and Greene County Prosecutor announced they will not be charging anybody in the in-custody death of Marshall Price. They will be closing the case. The official story goes like this. No exaggeration: Marshall Price died from a consensual toilet paper and socks, two hit, punch for punch boxing match that nobody eyewitnesses Marshall agreeing to or participating in with 5'11 Odell Lewis - Marshall died three days later, later in the day that he sustained a gruesome head injury on his bunk from a slip and fall in his cell. All other injuries were abdominal injuries sustained weeks before Marshall entered the jail. Keep in mind injuries not so bad he didn't mention it to his closest family and friends, including who he's closest, his sister Sheena who is an RNA, but so bad enough to go around telling inmates of he previous injuries. Jon continues to help facilitate many other ongoing investigations like the ongoing crony capitalism going on in Gonzalez Louisiana, Ascension Parish, Livingston Parish, The Life House Treatment and Smith Tank & Steel and how this all connects to Louisiana many local and state kratom criminalization attempts.

In this bonus episode on #givingtuesday, I am so excited to be joined by wild child gardener, Dawn Birdsong, as she tells us about Mighty Moms and their new program to help food insecure families in Livingston Parish. For gardeners, we don't think much about food insecurity because we have plenty to choose from right outside the back door, but for so many families, the overwhelming anxiety of where the next meal is coming from is a huge daily burden. Mighty Moms is doing amazing things, and the Wild Child Garden Club is thrilled and honored to partner with them to sponsor a month of Feeding Young Minds. Listen in and learn about this amazing program, how it started, and where it's going.

492. Part 2 of our interview with Terry Ellis about his book, Reasonably Happy. "Are You Unhappy and Not Sure Why? Reasonably Happy gets to the self-centered heart of the problem. In many ways, this book is about how to recover from the addictions all of us wrestle with. Substance addiction is the clearest example of the spiritual poverty in our culture today, but gambling, pornography, spending, and unhealthy eating also erode our spiritual awareness of God's grace. Ultimately, we're all addicted, or attached to caustic habits of thought and action that distance us by degrees from the God who created us for happiness.

Tickfaw State Park Canoeing Enjoy a serene paddle on your visit to Tickfaw State Park. Tickfaw, a Native American name meaning “Rest Among the Pines,” is a fitting name for this state park. Located in Livingston Parish, Tickfaw State Park offers visitors plenty of places to rest, among pines, in a canoe cruising the lazy Tickfaw River or in one of the scenic cabins or campsites. The park shows its different personalities during each season. Spring brings occasional flooding from the Tickfaw River that nourishes native plants and provides breeding grounds for its wildlife. The dense tree canopies, water playground and cool river offer respite during hot summer months, and the fall and winter months offer more solitude and reasons to keep warm by the barbecue grill. Start your trip at Tickfaw State Park's nature center, which hosts programs about the park's ecology and biodiversity. Check out the 800-gallon aquarium that holds native fishes found in the Tickfaw River. Nearby in Hammond, grab a pint at Low Road Brewing, and in Ponchatoula, get up close with the local wildlife with Kliebert & Sons Alligator Tours.
