On today's Sustainability In Your Ear, meet Brenna Simmons-St. Onge, a systems strategist, regenerative futurist, and founder of B the Light Consulting, as we explore her family's extraordinary three-year journey around the world. The Regenerative World Quest isn't your typical travel adventure; it's a deliberate mission to identify, amplify, and help replicate Earth's most promising regenerative communities and projects. From Costa Rica to South Africa, she and her family engage with leaders, learn from Indigenous knowledge holders, and discover models that regenerate land, restore community agency, and reconnect people to purpose. Brenna's aim is to demonstrate how regeneration—not just mitigation—can serve as our organizing principle for addressing the climate crisis.Rather than extracting experiences as tourists, Brenna and her family integrate into the places they visit, contributing through forms of meaningful exchange. Her key insight is that true abundance comes from within—our creativity, generosity, and the love we share with others and the planet. Thee regenerative communities she's visited focus on building a prosperity based on relationships, ecological health, and community resilience rather than accumulating material possessions. The Regenerative World Quest will culminate in a documentary series and practical playbook that others can use to live more lightly on the planet, thinking seven generations ahead following Indigenous traditions. To follow Brenna's journey and learn from the regenerative communities she discovers, visit https://bthelightconsulting.com/ or follow her on LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.

We open with the media saying the Pope did not meet with VP JD Vance, only to find they did meet before the Pope passed away. I am on-call to fill-in on the Erick Erickson Show this Thursday if they sign the Ukraine mineral rights deal. Then we look back to just over a year ago to remind everyone how the Democrats thought of illegals as the “Americans they care most about.” This leads to more about the Democrat Party siding with MS-13, to the point of claiming Donald Trump is the one who wants this story to be kept alive in order to hide how bad the economy is doing. Economist Peter St. Onge says we are starting to enter deflation and sides with Trump on wondering why Fed Chair Jerome Powell won't lower interest rates? Disgruntled and fired leakers from the DoD put out a hit-piece on Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth that the NYTimes dutifully ran with and got people repeating over the weekend. Once again, seems to be just another fake hit from the usual suspects. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) says the Democrat party will remember those countries who worked with Donald Trump and they will be thought of unkindly. Seems rather ominous and authoritarian. SCOTUS seems to have contradicted itself after putting out an emergency midnight ruling that says the opposite of what the put out just over a week ago regarding the presidency and foreign policy. A judge in New Mexico has resigned after it was discovered he was sheltering an illegal and member of the TdA gang in his home. The NLRB whistleblower who claimed DOGE stole data to sell to the Russians is now being investigated for making up the story. Finally, if you are going to photoshop someone into a picture, at least put some effort into it. Please take a moment to rate and review the show and then share the episode on social media.

In this “Kim on a Whim,” Kim St. Onge dives into the viral SNL skit that pokes fun at gay parenting tropes and questions whether it's a true sign of a cultural shift—or just a ratings ploy. Kim and the team debate if this means mainstream media is backing off progressive sacred cows or if it's just a temporary detour. They also expose how big corporations like Disney, Google, and Kohl's are quietly rebranding DEI efforts under terms like “Belonging” to dodge backlash while continuing the same agenda. Plus, Kim breaks down the social double standards conservatives face in everyday life, from sticker-shaming Elon Musk to being berated on planes for watching Fox News. As usual, the woke mob is all bark—unless you push back.

While the event is intended to spotlight the alarming drop in male fertility rates, Kim and the crew question whether it's raising awareness—or just eyebrows. They dig into the environmental and lifestyle factors behind fertility issues, joke about training regimens for microscopic “sea biscuits,” and debate the deeper concerns about how we treat diseases in America, with Kim pointing to toxins, vaccines, and diet as culprits often ignored by big pharma. Oh, and yes—there are plenty of jokes.

In this “Kim on a Whim” segment, Kim St. Onge dives into the absurdity of robot security guards rolling through downtown St. Louis during the Frozen Four weekend. With the city still hundreds of officers short, she questions whether these AI-powered machines—like “Romeo” and “Rad Dog”—can actually deter crime or are just expensive PR stunts. Kim highlights the unanswered questions: how much do they cost, are they bulletproof, and what data are they collecting? She slams the idea of replacing real cops with glorified vending machines on wheels, warning that without the ability to stop real threats, these robots are just waiting to get tagged, trashed, or jacked.
