I love Bec and say this with kindness: I think she would benefit from learning more about ADD/ADHD. So many of her questions and things that seem to puzzle her about Eamon can be linked back to his diagnosis. His brain is wired differently than a neurotypical human’s and therefore behaves differently and seeks different things (like chaos - anyone with ADHD watching this is not surprised at all by Eamon’s need for stimulation). I think a lot of people think it just means you’re hyper or easily distracted and that can be mitigated with discipline, but a person with ADHD’s brain is physically different and operates differently. Of course working on himself and making healthy changes is fantastic, as it is with everyone. I love that they both acknowledge the many strengths that come with it too. I’m a mom with ADHD diagnosed in adulthood still unlearning things I believed about myself before I knew that there is a reason behind the things I do and the way that I think. I don’t use it as an excuse to perpetuate habits that are not serving me but I also don’t allow my internal monologue to call myself lazy or distracted or stupid anymore.
They also really need to get their daughter tested for it as soon as they can because it is genetic and she is 9x more likely to have it because he does.
Yes! And it comes across as her way is the right way. She wants Eamon to change. Seeing someone else's way of doing things or looking at things as simply different from how I would do things has been so helpful for me. My partner's way of doing things is different than how I might do them, but it's not wrong, just different. (My partner was very much trained that different = wrong. I admit that I am trying to get him to see that different is just different.)
I love both of you. Bec, let Eamon talk, let him BE. I’ve had adhd all my life as well as being spiritual. No amount meditation, breathwork, soundbaths, etc has rewired my brain entirely. It has balanced my nervous system which in turn helps me manage my adhd. When you are on your self love/spiritual journey, there is a tendency and desire to dig into others, avoid that. Even with the best intentions, one must realize, there is no one way, just different directions. We are all growing things and we all find our way to the light. All love!
Please don’t diminish Eamon by saying his ADD is not real. It is how his brain functions. That is okay. He is different than you and that’s what makes him unique. I’m so happy you are on your healing journey. It would be like Eamon telling you that your meditation and positive thinking isn’t real. Perspective is everything. There is real love between you and sometimes holding a mirror to your words can be powerful. We all are continuously evolving as we have more and more experiences. Acceptance is love. ❤️
And both Eamon& Bec should research more of the current understanding of the ADHD super brain in case it turns out that Frankie is also blessed...since this neurodivergence is inherited. It won't be easy for a new Mom navigating Motherhood, rewiring her mind and purposefully embracing self love to find time to research ADHD so perhaps invite a specialist in the field to your podcast?!?
As someone with an adhd diagnosis, bec I’d love for you to learn and explore it a bit more. It’s a diffrent brain type and there’s a lack of dopamine in our brains. That’s why Eamon seeks Chaos and thrill ! It’s really interesting to learn!
Me too! I am blown away by her ability to be so happy meanwhile facing what she is. Like can we get specific here? Is there some kind of happy pills that go along with the meditation? Is she currently on meds to stop the spread of her cancer or is she literally healing herself with her mind? Of course these things are none of my business, but I just feel like Bec could help SOO many people… I am personally trying things like deciding to have a good day in my mind before starting the day and it does work to a degree… I just love listening to her speak about controlling her mind and thoughts. She would make a wonderful therapist. Love you guys ❤️
26:36 Love ya Bec but I sure disagree about rewiring the ADHD out of a brain. You can force a left handed person with great effort to fake being right handed but what has been lost? ADHD isn’t a disease or even a disability in the right environment. It gets diagnosed that way because the K-12 educational environment is biased towards a certain type of brain and natural traits. Those that don’t shine there get diagnosed and offered remediation for a way of being that is not a liability for many normal healthy life patterns outside of education. There are many many necessary jobs that need people who are wired to enjoy a highly stimulating environment. ER or other emergency staff on all levels, creators of many types, child care (not school), retail, technical work that requires on the spot diagnosis with lots of variables, zillions more that aren’t coming to me now. It’s not a fringe group that shines and comes into their own after k-12. It’s a large portion of the population. We are not damaged, we’re just waiting until we are not living an institutional life to come into full flower.
Just wanted to comment on forcing Leftys to be rightys. School did this to my daughter and told me oh she may be dyslexic. Also her hand writing was so bad I couldn't read it. At all! 4 years later, we discovered she's left handed and has no issues writing letters or numbers backwards. Her writing is clear now.
Eamon, your introduction to parenthood was traumatic. Becoming a parent is challenging enough, but you 2 were faced with extremely stressful life events on top of it. Give yourself some grace. You are both doing an amazing job❤ Signed a mama of 2
Im seeing all these comments being a bit extra critical of Bec, and I wanted to share a different perspective. As someone whose mother went through a similar breast cancer journey, it truly changed her in every way. It did make her more positive and present, such as I've seen in Bec, but it also changed integral parts of her. For instance, her brain was greatly affected, and she forgets much easier and speaks her mind more freely and maybe harshly at times. I see her praising Eamon for who he has been for her and trying to grow together, and that comes with hard conversations and maybe over analyzing at times. I think if it really bothered him deeply, they probably talk about that in private as well. I absolutely love these videos, and I dont think us adding extra pressure and stress to Bec is helpful.
Oh wow, ADD is real. That's wild to say it's not. Management with all sorts of tools is so important. Please don't use toxic positivity on others real, lived experiences.
As someone who has ADD also, I would love to see both of you learn more about it. I think it could really benefit both of you in different ways in your relationship and work life to understand how Eamons brain works.
I'd be careful about perpetuating the myth that they give kids "speed" for ADHD, there's already enough stigma around the diagnosis, it doesn't help to spread misinformation. ADHD is a dopamine deficiency disorder, meaning that the brain can't respond to dopamine as well as neurotypical brains. ADHD medication is often stimulants, because the brain needs that extra boost. They are often in the class of "amphetamines" but that doesn't mean they are literally meth or speed. Also, lots of non stimulant medication exists now for ADHD. It wasn't like that when Eamon or myself were kids, but things have changed a lot!
Im a retired teacher from Maine. Forget big machinery operator or drug addict. I think you would make an excellent teacher. Everyday is something new and you’re constantly striving to help others.
Ok, I’m a retired maternity nurse and an old granny and I love you guys! I’ve watched your TH-cam’s for a few years and think you are both amazing. First, I believe a baby rolling off the bed is a right of passage and rarely harmful. Next, as a premie, you should adjust Frankie’s age to align with her due date for at least for 12 -18 months when watching her developmental milestones. And by the way, she is sooo cute and adorable! I so admire how you guys are doing life. Wishing you happiness and good health ❤
What I love so much about this podcast/Eamon & Bec is how genuinely real they are. They don’t just share authentically; they somehow always seem to expand on and give comments/answers to exactly what I’m still wondering or want to hear. It’s so fulfilling to hear them voice the thoughts and questions many of us have but rarely get fully addressed. Unlike other conversations that sometimes leave key points unsaid or glossed over, they dive in and cover everything you hope they will-and it feels so satisfying when topics are explored that completely.
Bec is a lovely lady. But she seems to make everything about herself and doesn’t give Eamon space to answer without her being defensive or inserting herself. Let him talk. Please. When she asked him what things HE hopes Frankie gets from HIM..she turned it into but I’m stylish, but I’m this and that. He wasn’t saying you’re not..he was trying to answer your question!
Uhhhh, Bec is giving off a lot of “i went to therapy so now i feel like I can break down my friends like my therapist does to me” but it seems to bug Eamon more than help.. let the kid breathe. Let him itch his nose. Not everyone is on the same timeline and i feel like Eamon has really shown us a lot of what goes on inside his head naturally, without Bec adding her two cents of “i think why”.
All 5 of my kids have fallen off the bed and as they got older much more happen to them . They are fine today . Frankie is beautiful and lucky to have you all for parents.💕
I LOVE you, Bec so please don’t take this the wrong way, but, it feels like you are hammering Eamon on EVERYTHING that makes him so unique, relatable, and awesome!! You have changed a lot from the early days. Keep being YOU, Eamon! We all LOVE you, EXACTLY as you are 💜
me too! But I used to be super into the meditation/manifest reality stuff and in that world it was tempting to try to pry more and more into the "source" of things. I learned that sometimes, there ISNT a deeper reason! God bless you all! LOVE YOUR AUTHENTICITY! BE WHERE YOU ARE!
I will note that I think Bec is a beautiful and curious person. Perhaps she's just exercising her curiosity! She wants to understand things which is great! Love you Bec!
Eamon, you are a great dad!! We CAN always be doing more with our kids, but that isn’t ALWAYS healthy for parent and/or child. I can imagine you are such a FUN and HAPPY dad- and that means everything!!! ❤ You are amazing.
I’m still picturing Eamon & Bec doing cartwheels in the field with all of the children. Finger painting & playing in the lake, completely 100% healthy and happy. ❤
I became vegan 4 years ago and one of the reasons I did was because of you two💚. You made it look so easy so I gave it a try and haven’t gone back. I will say being on the journey for 4 years now I have become more lenient with how I think of other non vegans. Veganism isn’t for everyone. I enjoy being vegan but it’s not healthy to be judgemental of others who make different choices! We are all out here trying to do what is best for us and that’s the type of vegan I love to be! I try to be as compassionate to others as possible! Love love love the podcast. It’s the highlights of my Wednesday!
I feel this. I’ve been vegan for almost 5 years now and I strive everyday to be a compassionate, nonjudgmental vegan. I will never talk about what I eat or what someone else is eating unless they ask about it. It’s unfortunate that vegans have gotten the reputation of being so intense(some definitely are). I just want to do the best I can to make a difference whether that’s for the animals, the environment, the vegan stigma, and the people around me. 🤍
I just have to say, kids falling off the bed is common. As a toddler i fell off the bed and have a scar on my forehead to this day to show it. Love you guys!
Love to you both. But, I agree with others in the comments, I think Bec because you are so into your mindfulness and therapy, you may be trying to apply that knowledge and understanding of yourself to Eamon, and you may be misinterpreting his actions and need for different stimuli. His brain does not work how yours does. Having ADHD is woven into to everything about his personality, in every aspect of his life. Trying to analyse him in the way that works for understanding yourself, will be impossible and could be detrimental to him, and your understanding of him. I have ADHD, and my partner does not, it's really difficult to understand each others intentions sometimes, and I can be easily hurt by his misunderstanding. It can often breed resentment between a couple, and make the ADHD partner feel unloved and misunderstood. So just be careful, and do as much research into ADHD behaviour, as possible. Also to note specifically, people with ADHD, don't just find building routines hard, it is literally not possible to form habits as an ADHD person. Our brains do not work that way. So your meditation and mindfulness routine, will never be the same for Eamon, he will always have to choose to do something when his brain allows him to, and will never just do something on autopilot as part of a routine. This even applies to things like personal hygiene and brushing teeth etc. Love to you both as you navigate this xxxxx
there are people who are like "soul of the company" and Eamon this person who connect and inspires people around. these type of people are rare but really needed. Thanks for sharing!
I have to say that finding spirituality less than a year ago has changed my life enormously. It's so refreshing to hear you talk about being connected to everyone and approaching things with love. my daughter was diagnosed in 2021 and my sister in 2022 and spirituality has been a gift and so is your podcast. Found you back in 2020 on TH-cam and enjoy every single episode. Bec you are the living example of what positive thinking and spirituality can do. And I have nothing but positive outcomes for you and your adorable little family. ❤
Thank you for saying that ADD is a gift. I truly believe it is. My kid is dyslexic in addition to adhd and we tell her all the time it's her super power :)
“While there's no "cure" for ADHD, the concept of neuroplasticity means that individuals with ADHD can potentially "rewire" their brains to some degree by engaging in specific activities and training programs that target cognitive skills like attention, planning, and working memory, which can help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning; this often involves techniques like brain training exercises, mindfulness practices, regular physical activity, and cognitive behavioral therapy” -Google I think this is what Bec means when she says ADHD isn’t “real” I think the brain is very powerful. I think ppl lean into their labels and diagnosis a little too much at times and it can hold them back. I also think getting diagnosed has really help a lot of ppl as well. Two things can be true at once.
Thank you for this post! Your honesty is appreciated. I left veganism 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. There are so many inconsistencies with veganism and capitalism. In essence, ifs not sustainable. I was obese as a vegan and now the majority of my diet is animal protein and I’m thriving as an O blood type this is essential. Protein =energy and I’m feeling alive again. Also too much plant food also causes pain in joints from oxalates. So much more but I’ll end here ❤
I’m ADHD but not in need of intervention. I have some very close ADHD friends and we have been very successful humans, ( in our 60’s and 70’s.). Get it Eamon!! You are so fun to watch because you are always busy on a project that you complete with ease!! Love the turmeric tea!! Gotta get some more for the fall!! I have a secret crush on Bob! Hi Bob!!
I hope she gets your fearlessness Eamon you seem to be so fearless in life which will make her successful and we love watching you be that way 💙💙 its common that kids fall off things, it does happen, you guys are such great parents and Frankie is SOOOOOOO Lucky to have you both
I heard a great quote the other day.... When you figure out what you want to be in life and you go for it and apply yourself to a single thing i.e nurse, doctor etc. then you are just a noun your entire life! But if you never really know what you want to be and you can do a lot of things, then you become a verb! How exciting to be a verb all your life...... so go out there and be the best Verb you can be!
This podcast has easily become my “habit”. The fact that I need to have a box of tissues when I watch your episode, my heart is always touched by the beauty and the depth of your discussions. Clearly, you are two heart centered people in hoping to spread light and joy in our world. Thank you for sharing your light so people do not have to live in darkness.❤❤❤
You don’t need to buy factory farmed. Yes big Ag sucks. Support and befriend your local family farmers! Yes, their animals have a good life. THAT is who needs the support. Not the factories. I grew up in a farming community and if we want ACTUAL health, people need to realize that they need to support local REAL family farms.
You know what’s insane is that we cant just go to a farm and get milk here In Canada? We have no choice but to get it at the grocery store. I wish I knew exactly where to buy eggs and even cheese I’d have to drive around some farm areas and see but it’s not encouraged or talked about enough here because our government doesn’t want us too!
Hey Eamon. I have ADHD and it really has helped me a lot learning more about what that means and how it affects people in their day to day life. I love the TH-cam channel "How to ADHD". She has really good tools and information about ADHD from people with ADHD. She has ADHD and talks about her experiences with it. There is a huge ADHD community and disability community on TH-cam that I think you would benefit from. It has helped me a lot as an adult. It's definitely a very real disability, and you can't just "mind over matter" your way out of it. However, with the right tools you can make symptoms more manageble. A bit part of it is not being so hard on yourself and accepting that your brain does work differently and need different strategies to be successful. It's a lot harder to live with than most people realise and you can't exactly try harder to not have it or not experience symptoms. And Bec, there are lots of good videos about being supportive of someone with ADHD and how to understand what they are going through. And as for the ADD/ADHD difference, currently they are under the same umbrella term ADHD and you either have ADHD with inattentiveness, ADHD with hyperactivity or ADHD combined type. I was diagnosed with the ADHD inattentive type at 14 but recently got a reevaluation and am diagnosed with ADHD combined type (and autism, OCD, and CPTSD). Since you were diagnosed so young it could be beneficial to get a reevaluation as an adult. I have to say watching your videos it seems like you have a bit of the hyperactive side as well haha 🤣🤣 always on the go working on a new project. My dad who has the combined type is just like you in that sense. He just works on his house all day every day with building projects.
Thriving in chaos is also super normal for people with ADHD. We thrive in new environments and in situations that make neurotypical people feel stressed. We thrive as entrepreneurs, ER doctors, and like me I work in entertainment/theater and its constantly new and constantly chaos and need to be thinking on my feet quickly.
I’m a critical care nurse and my friends tell me I have ADHD . I thought they were being funny but have since looked up characteristics and I do fit the mold. I learn by drawing out the words into pictures because the words make no sense in my brain. But I have the energy of 10 people and function in complete chaos far greater then those friends that pointed out my super power !! Keep on keeping bro !! Love these guys.
Amazing!! Bec, you are such a shining example to so many. You’re one of a kind! So happy for you. Eamon. Dude. You are a cool dude. Ive followed y’all since almost the start and Im really impressed with y’alls relationship and now what great parents you both are. Thanks for sharing. Bec❤ Eamon👊🏼 btw, former RAW food vegan chef. Now carnivore/keto. I love it all. Good on you.
Thanks for the podcasts . Your podcasts have already shed light on cancer, depression, suicide, ADHD, perfectionism, ethics around foods and drugs/ medicines and so much more . Opening up discussions on these topics helps others . With all the privatisation , medicalisation and economic focus , we rarely get to discuss individual, community and society trauma and the repercussions in a meaningful, genuine and honest way ; so thank you both for already raising awareness on so many important issues. Prayers and hugs
Parenting is HARD AF - and I'm here for normalizing saying that. It's hard, it's exhausting, it's challenging, and sometimes you just want to get tf away from it for a day or five. THAT IS NORMAL and no one should beat themselves up about it. Take care of you so you can take care of Frankie; and give yourself some grace. 💜
Thank you both for being so honest! I just want to say you are both exactly the perfect parents for Frankie. You are doing a great job with her. Accidents happen, kids get bumps as they grow and learn their space, all totally normal!! Don’t stress! Also, Bec I do related to your feelings about parenting. I became a Mom by adoption, and struggle every day with the thought “someone trusted me to make his life better, so I have to do the most”. It is my most trying mental health challenge
Thank you so much for sharing. I may be 52 years old but I have to say that I have taken a lot from this podcast and am going to apply it to my everyday life. We are all living beings. You two are absolutely incredible 🎉 Thank you🙏❤️❤️ From Vancouver Frankie (sp) has the two most amazing parents on earth. Peace ☮️
I love this podcast and I love you guys! You’ve kept me company for years as I’ve listened to you at my lonely mundane desk job. Thanks for spreading positivity and laughter. The world needs it! ❤
I really vibed with Eamon about reading aloud in grade school...I had dyslexia; words bounced around, I read right to left not left to right and I too cannot spell to save my life!! I finally just leaned into it, taught myself how to read correctly and haven't looked back. All of my babies fell off the bed and they are all fine😂😂😂 LOVE listening to you! Your willingness to be open and awareness of of being a work in progress is inspiring❤🥰💚🌈 I learn so much from you! 🙏🙏
As a mom of six GREAT kids (all grown up), falling off the bed happens...as did, I will admit, tossing the first one into the air and hitting the ceiling fan. There were no tears with the ceiling fan, it made no marks, but it was horrifying! We blame a lot on his encounter with the fan, but really he was ok, and it never happened again. Also, many times if you hesitate before going into teacher mode, they will teach you something miraculous. My youngest was crawling along the floor and past the pantry shelves. She saw the peanut butter jar, stopped, sat up and picked up the peanut butter jar and started studying it. It was upside down. I went towards her, to turn it over for her and tell her it was peanut butter. I stopped because she touched the sides of the jar very gently, then moved the the edges of the lid and checked those out. She then stuck out her tongue and felt the ridges before lifting the jar towards her head as she shook it up and down. Finally, she put the jar on the floor on its side and pushed it away and watched it roll. Then she clapped her hands. I stood back and took in that she probably really knew more about that jar of peanut butter than I was going to share with her. It was a moment that still sticks to me. :)
Guys!!!! ❤❤❤ My first born fell off the bed one too many times 🤦🏻♀️ You’re awesome parents. It is so common. We would pile up the pillows and he’d still get around. It happened to me and it happened to my husband. Just have love and grace for each other 💕 Y’all are going to mess up along the way but as long as you remain a team and know that the other would never harm Frankie on purpose yall will fly in parenthood. ❤ Parenting is so amazing! Hard but the best ever. Love you guys so much!!!
I think 80-90% plant based is a terrific balance. Ultimately, we just need to educate people and then give everyone grace for their decisions. I don't think I could give up eggs and real cheese, but I try to be mindful (and demure 🙃) about how much animal products I am eating. P.S. When your wellness center is all over the U.S. and I can join for $10 per month, I'll drop my Planet Fitness membership 😆
Labelling any person with the correct diagnosis of how their brain works is freeing and empowering not a way of holding them back Labelling a child as lazy or not capable when it’s the way their brain works is far more damaging than having a child understand themself and how their brain works and living empowered and not shamed 🎉❤ love you both x
Bec is an excellent interviewer. She DOES understand Eamon fully. Stop with the negative comments. Not helpful. She is trying to show his personality ( ADHD) and why he says and does things. Bec has so much wisdom and patience. There are two sides of living with an ADD individual. I speak from experience. Can’t use it as an excuse to do things your own way and not include others.
I always love these podcasts, they help fill that sense of communithy, which i have been struggling to build. They encourage me and uplift me and truly help me feel so much better. I am so thankful for both Eamon and Bec for showing and sharing their life so openly and authenticly. I have learned so much from both of you and your community and I can see growth within my self, so for that I want to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
As someone who fell off of the bed when I was young and broke a bone, you guys are FINE! You love that baby. She’s your whole world. You would never intentionally hurt her. It’s hard for parents to realize when their baby isn’t so much of a baby anymore. You can set them down ANYWHERE for at least 4 months and KNOW they won’t move.. it’s hard to break that cycle. You guys are absolutely amazing. Big hugs ❤️
Eamon's intensity with things reminds me a lot of my husband. He has ADHD and is much the same way. There is an analogy.I like to use when trying to explain to people how his emotions/thoughts are. It's like having Ferrari emotions with bicycle breaks. The emotions or thoughts in his head take off so fast his breaks can't handle it. You are his emergency brake. 😊. I think it would go a long way to helping him understand himself better if he really dives into learning about ADHD and how his brain processes things. He isn't broken. He is a superhero who has not learned how to fully harness the full potential of his superpower yet. Please don't say ADHD is not real. It is minimizing and hurtful to those who have it.
Just so u know…I’m 68 and JUST getting to know my current self… and to add, you are going to have soooo many selves to get to know! Be easy on yourself 🥰 Love and Adore you 3! 🥰
Hey you guys, please please please read the book ADD a different perception, a hunter in a farmer’s world by Thom Hartman. For me, it truly laid out how people “with ADD” are just people who think differently than what is considered manageable, who don’t fit in to the way our schools are structured. I shudder to think what my life would have been like if I didn’t read that book. It made me actually proud of how my brain works, instead of ashamed.
I think we have control of our thoughts and feelings to some extent. You can choose how you react to some things, but also sometimes it does come down to chemistry and genetics and if you grew up with PTSD and in abusive situations, it's not something you can do on your own. If you have chronic depression or deal with PTSD, you can't just wake up one day and decide to be happy because you want to. I definitely have tried, and the healthiest thing for me as been accepting that somedays I'm going to feel bad and sometimes I just need to curl up with some hot chocolate and watch some youtube and get through it. Ive done all the meditation and yoga and gratitude and decades of therapy. I've tried positive thinking and telling myself "today I am going to have a great day". But sometimes the biochemistry wins and being okay with not being okay, is the healthiest and kindest thing for myself when I just want to curl up and disappear forever. If I could just snap my fingers and be happy I would, but sometimes it takes all my strength just to get through the day.
I have never seen you be more Canadian than in this episode! I couldn't be more infatuated with two humans! You two are really something else! Thanks for being so real, raw and transparent! It's soo incredible! Everything on here these days is smoke and mirrors! Not you guys! It's beyond refreshing!!! Xoxo Love from your Alberta fan! ❤❤
I love your new business idea and was frankly just thinking about this last night. A Wellness center incorporating various health modalities like a gym, cold plunge, sauna, nutrition classes, etc.. would be fantastic!
Thank you for sharing this episode, liked getting to know Eamon better! What amazing new Bec! I would love an episode of how you worked through running a business with your partner and it not taking over your entire relationship, navigating that challenge now.
I'm a vegan and I resonate with this so much. My husband and I have some pet chickens, so we eat their eggs and still consider ourselves pretty much vegan. I think if more people were open to eating plant based meals some of the time, it could create a much better environment where the reliance on factory farming to produce mass quantities of meat is lessened. I don't try to get my friends to go vegan, but I do encourage them to try the delicious vegan things I make!
You are both great. Bec i too was always at 150% as a mom. Everybody told me I was a great mom. Im 48 now and my daughter is 28. She told me, yeah you are a great mom except in one way, my one flaw as a mom according to her, is that I did not set an example of true self care, the self care that most people have baked into themselves. I keep going even when it causes me harm. If my loved ones especially my child want it, I have to do it even at the expense of my sanity, my rest, my physical health, mental health etc. I hope you give yourself rest. Real rest.
"We're all here on the same planet and doing the best we can" Bec, you are truly a GEM 💎 💖 Congratulations on your healing and success 🙌 this is truly amazing amd inspiring 🎉❤
I was vegan for 5 years, felt great at the beginning but after 4 years I started to feel weaker, realized I had lost too much weight, and wasn't feeling healthy. I stopped being vegan and started eating meat again and it made my life so much better. I enjoy food way more, gained a lot of muscle, and just am more relaxed around food in general.
Love you guys and happy to hear about healing and continue to pray for you guys. I will say watching this I got just a tiny bit triggered lol because I feel like women like to read into men like that and most times it’s not that serious or deep for us. We are wired differently, the masculine energy is just different and doesn’t necessarily need to be comprehended by women, works both ways. We can live in harmony but our natures don’t have to harmonize all the time. Also think that we have to consider genetic makeup of each individual. Bec, you probably as a woman have many differences with a Latina or Asian woman and it’s strictly cultural and genetics so there’s that level of complexity too. Who knows what’s in Eamons DNA as well that could explain a lot about his personality. Live this podcast, enjoyed listening to this conversation.
Thanks so much for the HONESTY! I've been following for years, so I'm really enjoying this deeper dive into knowing you all. You're so inspiring in a genuine way. Thank you and keep goingggggg
Loving Eamon's total presence and honesty throughout the podcast! Bec you are strong 💪 woman! Continue prayers for total healing!! Thanks for sharing more of yourselves in this podcast ❤❤❤
Bummed to hear that you’re no longer vegan lol (I’ll be the person who opens up that can of worms lol). It was a bonus for me when I found your channel. I’ve been an ethical vegan for 14 years and will never go back. I’ll always choose kindness over a little less stress. On the protein side of your argument, look up vegan athletes, protein is not an issue and there are world champions and huge heavy weight body builders (any athlete you can imagine) who are vegan and performance actually improves. Maybe your energy levels decreasing are from being a Dad? Don’t hate me, I can’t not try to change your minds lol
Emon I am 61 years old and I’ve been on this spiritual journey or over 25 years I lost count lol. If you would love to have a great “HIT” meditating talk to your Higher yourself and then listen. I know it sounds Monday boring but what comes in is so profound. Because you’re someone who has ADD you live in your right side of your brain. The information comes in so fast and furious it will blow away. You will learn so much about who you are. I use this practice when helping my students learn to tap in to all that is.❤❤❤ keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers and sending you good vibes. Thank you for the work that you both are doing.❤❤❤❤
I love the idea for a one stop shop focus on health and wellness! As a mom, I would love quality childcare! So many gyms just have a tv on and all the kids crammed into a room...childcare could be Montessori style so while you are taking time to better yourself you aren't dealing with mom guilt and know your child is also having a wonderful experience!
Babies, toddlers and kids fall of the bed quite often, so don't worry, you are not the first parent that this happen to them. After it happened to mine, i always made sure bed is pushed to the wall and on the other side i am either me sleeping or there are cushions on the floor all around the bed. Or cushions on the edge of the bed. It is scary but babies kinda know how to fall, strangely to say. We adults are way more clumsy and it hurt us all over after lol. Don't worry, you both are the best parents you can possibly be to Frankie
Just be, follow your intuition, believe in yourself. Always try to be your best, live every day with no regrets. Talk to people if all ages . You might be surprised they are just like you but just older . Having children does change your life. You now are truly responsible for other humans that you will love line you never thought you could. As a person who has never gone vegan I have and am living a good life Just enjoy life and be thankful to everyone and everything that is a part of your life!!
Great podcast! I learn so much by actually hearing you, your experiences with how you are continuing to grow as individuals and as a team. Real food for thought and stimuli to become healthier myself.
I resonate with everything you said about being plant based! I have never been able to go full vegan and I really appreciate hearing you say all the same things I've been thinking about. Preach!
Being a parent is a marathon not a sprint, no parent is perfect or can give 100% of their best 24X7. Give yourselves a break & grace - Life happens and you learn as you go 🙏🏼
Ouuu only a minute in and I’m already hooked, all smiles, so excited to get into this episode. What a great intro, great job. Let’s get to listening 🙏🏽😁☺️
We are “rooting” for you guys. So thrilled to hear how great Bec is doing! I actually lost my dad when I was a little baby to “C” and things were so different back then. I can’t say enough how thrilled I am for you! Sending all the positive vibes!!!! 🙏💝
I’ve Followed you both for years now and appreciate your content and your honesty through all the ups and downs throughout life. Always sending positive thoughts and prayers to you and your family. And I want to help support your dream. On that note, this episode was excellent! I relate to Eamon, I can’t spell either! 😂 so this comment is with much love because it’s not my comfort zone 🤪
Love hearing about Eamon and I would love to hear more about how to learn how to meditate and what avenues Bec has explored. I figure if Eamon can meditate for one hour with all his energy then maybe I can too. It’s hard to not think in your brain “Why me” and not have a pity party for yourself when health issues pop up. I am hoping I can heal myself the way Bec has
I am completely on Eamon's side on the Frankie falling case. That is a normal thing that will happen a million times. Whether it's somebody's fault or not, it will happen. Nothing to argue about or even discuss . In my opinion .
I found your convo about ADD intresting. They do now just use ADHD and it has 3 types: Hyperactive, Inattentive, and Combination. I think getting a diagnosis was a crazy experience as I was 13. For my family suddenly I was able to get the right support in school, and my parents had an understanding of what was happening. I would either be ultra focused or singing and dancing.( I have combined) Knowing what was happening in my brain made our family stop trying to have me conform or that I was being defiant. Instead it was looking at tools and skills to be successful that are more aligned with ADHD. It also explained to my parents why I had a reliance on caffeine at 14.( but not coffee) I think that diagonisis offer better access to the right support.
You guys complete each other so well! Great listen. I always take something out of your episode and run with it to continue to evolve and just be better. Thanks!
Lots of attention on Bec in this comment, Eamon im so happy to see you on this journey of self discovery, scary i can imagine but exciting and helpful ❤ love what you do and I would hate to see you less but i would even more love for you to be the truest to yourself ❤ Bec, maybe the pattern of over pressuring yourself can be broken through opening up to other people in some way. Im on a similar journey and I am realising that I have an enormus struggle with letting go of some of my own believes and opening up to considering other posebilities. You are both doing amazing for this world by sharing this, but with that said i would like to say as a friend that it would be okay to focus on yourselfs and let someone else bring similar knowledge into the world, to let go of some of that pressure that i guess comes with it❤ I also want to say that what you are right now in this moment is also incredibly enough. In a way the world is failing you for putting you in the crappy situation. I also just know that you are going to be here for a long time. Sendig loooove ❤
Totally agree there is so much toxicity on both ends of the diet camps, which is just as bad for you! Thanks for being honest and dont beat yourselves up about this - we need to create spaces to have more non-judgemental conversations about topics like this ❤
I love all of this! I’m so proud of you both and have loved watching you for YEARS. Healing internally and subconsciously is such a shift and so many won’t understand until they see how much inner self work brings clarity. Rewiring your brain is SO REAL. 🫶🏻🕊️ same journey. Was so happy when I heard you started listening to Dr. Joe Dispenza, I was hopeful you’d both find him on your previous journey.
Also, mom of 3 here… babies falling off the bed is in fact okay. It’s happened to all 3 of mine… no matter how careful you are. Grace in parenting is so difficult to have within yourself, but it’s OKAY.
I love Bec and say this with kindness: I think she would benefit from learning more about ADD/ADHD. So many of her questions and things that seem to puzzle her about Eamon can be linked back to his diagnosis. His brain is wired differently than a neurotypical human’s and therefore behaves differently and seeks different things (like chaos - anyone with ADHD watching this is not surprised at all by Eamon’s need for stimulation). I think a lot of people think it just means you’re hyper or easily distracted and that can be mitigated with discipline, but a person with ADHD’s brain is physically different and operates differently. Of course working on himself and making healthy changes is fantastic, as it is with everyone. I love that they both acknowledge the many strengths that come with it too. I’m a mom with ADHD diagnosed in adulthood still unlearning things I believed about myself before I knew that there is a reason behind the things I do and the way that I think. I don’t use it as an excuse to perpetuate habits that are not serving me but I also don’t allow my internal monologue to call myself lazy or distracted or stupid anymore.
💯💯💯
They also really need to get their daughter tested for it as soon as they can because it is genetic and she is 9x more likely to have it because he does.
Yes! And it comes across as her way is the right way. She wants Eamon to change. Seeing someone else's way of doing things or looking at things as simply different from how I would do things has been so helpful for me. My partner's way of doing things is different than how I might do them, but it's not wrong, just different. (My partner was very much trained that different = wrong. I admit that I am trying to get him to see that different is just different.)
Agreed!!! totally!!!!!!
Agreed, also he’s a man and she’s a woman! Totally different up bringing, habits, hormones, nobody is the same nor perfect!
I love both of you. Bec, let Eamon talk, let him BE. I’ve had adhd all my life as well as being spiritual. No amount meditation, breathwork, soundbaths, etc has rewired my brain entirely. It has balanced my nervous system which in turn helps me manage my adhd. When you are on your self love/spiritual journey, there is a tendency and desire to dig into others, avoid that. Even with the best intentions, one must realize, there is no one way, just different directions. We are all growing things and we all find our way to the light. All love!
Please let him BE🙌🏻
Please don’t diminish Eamon by saying his ADD is not real. It is how his brain functions. That is okay. He is different than you and that’s what makes him unique. I’m so happy you are on your healing journey. It would be like Eamon telling you that your meditation and positive thinking isn’t real. Perspective is everything. There is real love between you and sometimes holding a mirror to your words can be powerful. We all are continuously evolving as we have more and more experiences. Acceptance is love. ❤️
And both Eamon& Bec should research more of the current understanding of the ADHD super brain in case it turns out that Frankie is also blessed...since this neurodivergence is inherited. It won't be easy for a new Mom navigating Motherhood, rewiring her mind and purposefully embracing self love to find time to research ADHD so perhaps invite a specialist in the field to your podcast?!?
As someone with an adhd diagnosis, bec I’d love for you to learn and explore it a bit more. It’s a diffrent brain type and there’s a lack of dopamine in our brains. That’s why Eamon seeks Chaos and thrill ! It’s really interesting to learn!
I would LOVE to have a very specific and long podcast surrounding Bec’s meditation and inner healing. 🕊️ 💛
I would really love this as well.
Me too. Just that stuff.
Me too! I am blown away by her ability to be so happy meanwhile facing what she is.
Like can we get specific here? Is there some kind of happy pills that go along with the meditation? Is she currently on meds to stop the spread of her cancer or is she literally healing herself with her mind?
Of course these things are none of my business, but I just feel like Bec could help SOO many people…
I am personally trying things like deciding to have a good day in my mind before starting the day and it does work to a degree…
I just love listening to her speak about controlling her mind and thoughts.
She would make a wonderful therapist.
Love you guys ❤️
Absolutely! On a meditation journey myself and I would love this!
Me too! I would love to understand it more.
26:36 Love ya Bec but I sure disagree about rewiring the ADHD out of a brain. You can force a left handed person with great effort to fake being right handed but what has been lost? ADHD isn’t a disease or even a disability in the right environment. It gets diagnosed that way because the K-12 educational environment is biased towards a certain type of brain and natural traits. Those that don’t shine there get diagnosed and offered remediation for a way of being that is not a liability for many normal healthy life patterns outside of education. There are many many necessary jobs that need people who are wired to enjoy a highly stimulating environment. ER or other emergency staff on all levels, creators of many types, child care (not school), retail, technical work that requires on the spot diagnosis with lots of variables, zillions more that aren’t coming to me now. It’s not a fringe group that shines and comes into their own after k-12. It’s a large portion of the population. We are not damaged, we’re just waiting until we are not living an institutional life to come into full flower.
Wow ! Well said !
Just wanted to comment on forcing Leftys to be rightys. School did this to my daughter and told me oh she may be dyslexic. Also her hand writing was so bad I couldn't read it. At all! 4 years later, we discovered she's left handed and has no issues writing letters or numbers backwards. Her writing is clear now.
I totally agree 💯
Eamon, your introduction to parenthood was traumatic. Becoming a parent is challenging enough, but you 2 were faced with extremely stressful life events on top of it. Give yourself some grace. You are both doing an amazing job❤ Signed a mama of 2
Im seeing all these comments being a bit extra critical of Bec, and I wanted to share a different perspective. As someone whose mother went through a similar breast cancer journey, it truly changed her in every way. It did make her more positive and present, such as I've seen in Bec, but it also changed integral parts of her. For instance, her brain was greatly affected, and she forgets much easier and speaks her mind more freely and maybe harshly at times. I see her praising Eamon for who he has been for her and trying to grow together, and that comes with hard conversations and maybe over analyzing at times. I think if it really bothered him deeply, they probably talk about that in private as well. I absolutely love these videos, and I dont think us adding extra pressure and stress to Bec is helpful.
❤❤❤ I agree.
Oh wow, ADD is real. That's wild to say it's not. Management with all sorts of tools is so important. Please don't use toxic positivity on others real, lived experiences.
As someone who has ADD also, I would love to see both of you learn more about it. I think it could really benefit both of you in different ways in your relationship and work life to understand how Eamons brain works.
💯💯💯
I'd be careful about perpetuating the myth that they give kids "speed" for ADHD, there's already enough stigma around the diagnosis, it doesn't help to spread misinformation. ADHD is a dopamine deficiency disorder, meaning that the brain can't respond to dopamine as well as neurotypical brains. ADHD medication is often stimulants, because the brain needs that extra boost. They are often in the class of "amphetamines" but that doesn't mean they are literally meth or speed. Also, lots of non stimulant medication exists now for ADHD. It wasn't like that when Eamon or myself were kids, but things have changed a lot!
Yeah, my meds allow me to do the laundry, they don't make me high
Im a retired teacher from Maine. Forget big machinery operator or drug addict. I think you would make an excellent teacher. Everyday is something new and you’re constantly striving to help others.
Mainer here too 😉
Neighbor tonight man here. Love that state. I’m in Massachusetts close to the Vermont New Hampshire border. ❤❤❤❤
The tears of joy that came to my eyes when Bec started talking about her healing. I’m so happy to hear the news.
Ok, I’m a retired maternity nurse and an old granny and I love you guys! I’ve watched your TH-cam’s for a few years and think you are both amazing. First, I believe a baby rolling off the bed is a right of passage and rarely harmful. Next, as a premie, you should adjust Frankie’s age to align with her due date for at least for 12 -18 months when watching her developmental milestones. And by the way, she is sooo cute and adorable! I so admire how you guys are doing life. Wishing you happiness and good health ❤
And I’d like to order your tea but don’t know how!

@@nancysmith8572 P.S. Yes, there's a link to HABIT in their description box --- 😉
Parenting is hard and it is okay to be honest about how hard it is. I appreciate the honesty.
What I love so much about this podcast/Eamon & Bec is how genuinely real they are. They don’t just share authentically; they somehow always seem to expand on and give comments/answers to exactly what I’m still wondering or want to hear. It’s so fulfilling to hear them voice the thoughts and questions many of us have but rarely get fully addressed. Unlike other conversations that sometimes leave key points unsaid or glossed over, they dive in and cover everything you hope they will-and it feels so satisfying when topics are explored that completely.
Bec is a lovely lady. But she seems to make everything about herself and doesn’t give Eamon space to answer without her being defensive or inserting herself. Let him talk. Please. When she asked him what things HE hopes Frankie gets from HIM..she turned it into but I’m stylish, but I’m this and that. He wasn’t saying you’re not..he was trying to answer your question!
Uhhhh, Bec is giving off a lot of “i went to therapy so now i feel like I can break down my friends like my therapist does to me” but it seems to bug Eamon more than help.. let the kid breathe. Let him itch his nose. Not everyone is on the same timeline and i feel like Eamon has really shown us a lot of what goes on inside his head naturally, without Bec adding her two cents of “i think why”.
They are the ones who are dating/married and have a child. I think they can handle it without yt comments my friend. Leave them be
All 5 of my kids have fallen off the bed and as they got older much more happen to them . They are fine today . Frankie is beautiful and lucky to have you all for parents.💕
I LOVE you, Bec so please don’t take this the wrong way, but, it feels like you are hammering Eamon on EVERYTHING that makes him so unique, relatable, and awesome!! You have changed a lot from the early days. Keep being YOU, Eamon! We all LOVE you, EXACTLY as you are 💜
I was noticing the same thing😅
I had the same thought. Really enjoy their content, but this was a little cringe to listen to.
me too! But I used to be super into the meditation/manifest reality stuff and in that world it was tempting to try to pry more and more into the "source" of things. I learned that sometimes, there ISNT a deeper reason! God bless you all! LOVE YOUR AUTHENTICITY! BE WHERE YOU ARE!
@@candicemattson8621 he wasn't even "allowed" to touch his nose??
I will note that I think Bec is a beautiful and curious person. Perhaps she's just exercising her curiosity! She wants to understand things which is great! Love you Bec!
Eamon, you are a great dad!! We CAN always be doing more with our kids, but that isn’t ALWAYS healthy for parent and/or child. I can imagine you are such a FUN and HAPPY dad- and that means everything!!! ❤ You are amazing.
I’m still picturing Eamon & Bec doing cartwheels in the field with all of the children. Finger painting & playing in the lake, completely 100% healthy and happy. ❤
I became vegan 4 years ago and one of the reasons I did was because of you two💚. You made it look so easy so I gave it a try and haven’t gone back. I will say being on the journey for 4 years now I have become more lenient with how I think of other non vegans. Veganism isn’t for everyone. I enjoy being vegan but it’s not healthy to be judgemental of others who make different choices! We are all out here trying to do what is best for us and that’s the type of vegan I love to be! I try to be as compassionate to others as possible! Love love love the podcast. It’s the highlights of my Wednesday!
I feel this. I’ve been vegan for almost 5 years now and I strive everyday to be a compassionate, nonjudgmental vegan. I will never talk about what I eat or what someone else is eating unless they ask about it. It’s unfortunate that vegans have gotten the reputation of being so intense(some definitely are). I just want to do the best I can to make a difference whether that’s for the animals, the environment, the vegan stigma, and the people around me. 🤍
I just have to say, kids falling off the bed is common. As a toddler i fell off the bed and have a scar on my forehead to this day to show it.
Love you guys!
Love to you both. But, I agree with others in the comments, I think Bec because you are so into your mindfulness and therapy, you may be trying to apply that knowledge and understanding of yourself to Eamon, and you may be misinterpreting his actions and need for different stimuli. His brain does not work how yours does. Having ADHD is woven into to everything about his personality, in every aspect of his life. Trying to analyse him in the way that works for understanding yourself, will be impossible and could be detrimental to him, and your understanding of him. I have ADHD, and my partner does not, it's really difficult to understand each others intentions sometimes, and I can be easily hurt by his misunderstanding. It can often breed resentment between a couple, and make the ADHD partner feel unloved and misunderstood. So just be careful, and do as much research into ADHD behaviour, as possible. Also to note specifically, people with ADHD, don't just find building routines hard, it is literally not possible to form habits as an ADHD person. Our brains do not work that way. So your meditation and mindfulness routine, will never be the same for Eamon, he will always have to choose to do something when his brain allows him to, and will never just do something on autopilot as part of a routine. This even applies to things like personal hygiene and brushing teeth etc. Love to you both as you navigate this xxxxx
there are people who are like "soul of the company" and Eamon this person who connect and inspires people around. these type of people are rare but really needed. Thanks for sharing!
Well said!
Oso on the couch is EVERYTHING. Such a good boy.
I have to say that finding spirituality less than a year ago has changed my life enormously. It's so refreshing to hear you talk about being connected to everyone and approaching things with love. my daughter was diagnosed in 2021 and my sister in 2022 and spirituality has been a gift and so is your podcast. Found you back in 2020 on TH-cam and enjoy every single episode. Bec you are the living example of what positive thinking and spirituality can do. And I have nothing but positive outcomes for you and your adorable little family. ❤
Thank you for saying that ADD is a gift. I truly believe it is. My kid is dyslexic in addition to adhd and we tell her all the time it's her super power :)
“While there's no "cure" for ADHD, the concept of neuroplasticity means that individuals with ADHD can potentially "rewire" their brains to some degree by engaging in specific activities and training programs that target cognitive skills like attention, planning, and working memory, which can help manage symptoms and improve daily functioning; this often involves techniques like brain training exercises, mindfulness practices, regular physical activity, and cognitive behavioral therapy” -Google
I think this is what Bec means when she says ADHD isn’t “real”
I think the brain is very powerful. I think ppl lean into their labels and diagnosis a little too much at times and it can hold them back. I also think getting diagnosed has really help a lot of ppl as well. Two things can be true at once.
Thank you for this post! Your honesty is appreciated. I left veganism 2 years ago and haven’t looked back. There are so many inconsistencies with veganism and capitalism. In essence, ifs not sustainable. I was obese as a vegan and now the majority of my diet is animal protein and I’m thriving as an O blood type this is essential. Protein =energy and I’m feeling alive again. Also too much plant food also causes pain in joints from oxalates. So much more but I’ll end here ❤
I’m ADHD but not in need of intervention. I have some very close ADHD friends and we have been very successful humans, ( in our 60’s and 70’s.). Get it Eamon!! You are so fun to watch because you are always busy on a project that you complete with ease!! Love the turmeric tea!! Gotta get some more for the fall!! I have a secret crush on Bob! Hi Bob!!
I hope she gets your fearlessness Eamon you seem to be so fearless in life which will make her successful and we love watching you be that way 💙💙 its common that kids fall off things, it does happen, you guys are such great parents and Frankie is SOOOOOOO Lucky to have you both
I heard a great quote the other day.... When you figure out what you want to be in life and you go for it and apply yourself to a single thing i.e nurse, doctor etc. then you are just a noun your entire life! But if you never really know what you want to be and you can do a lot of things, then you become a verb! How exciting to be a verb all your life...... so go out there and be the best Verb you can be!
Love this comment ❤
I feel more like a cloud of question marks than a verb though... it would be nice to have some sense of what I wanted to do😅
I was a teacher for 37 years and now I have retired I am definitely exploring being a verb!!!
This podcast has easily become my “habit”. The fact that I need to have a box of tissues when I watch your episode, my heart is always touched by the beauty and the depth of your discussions. Clearly, you are two heart centered people in hoping to spread light and joy in our world. Thank you for sharing your light so people do not have to live in darkness.❤❤❤
You don’t need to buy factory farmed. Yes big Ag sucks. Support and befriend your local family farmers! Yes, their animals have a good life. THAT is who needs the support. Not the factories. I grew up in a farming community and if we want ACTUAL health, people need to realize that they need to support local REAL family farms.
You know what’s insane is that we cant just go to a farm and get milk here In Canada? We have no choice but to get it at the grocery store. I wish I knew exactly where to buy eggs and even cheese I’d have to drive around some farm areas and see but it’s not encouraged or talked about enough here because our government doesn’t want us too!
Hey Eamon. I have ADHD and it really has helped me a lot learning more about what that means and how it affects people in their day to day life. I love the TH-cam channel "How to ADHD". She has really good tools and information about ADHD from people with ADHD. She has ADHD and talks about her experiences with it. There is a huge ADHD community and disability community on TH-cam that I think you would benefit from. It has helped me a lot as an adult. It's definitely a very real disability, and you can't just "mind over matter" your way out of it. However, with the right tools you can make symptoms more manageble. A bit part of it is not being so hard on yourself and accepting that your brain does work differently and need different strategies to be successful. It's a lot harder to live with than most people realise and you can't exactly try harder to not have it or not experience symptoms. And Bec, there are lots of good videos about being supportive of someone with ADHD and how to understand what they are going through. And as for the ADD/ADHD difference, currently they are under the same umbrella term ADHD and you either have ADHD with inattentiveness, ADHD with hyperactivity or ADHD combined type. I was diagnosed with the ADHD inattentive type at 14 but recently got a reevaluation and am diagnosed with ADHD combined type (and autism, OCD, and CPTSD). Since you were diagnosed so young it could be beneficial to get a reevaluation as an adult. I have to say watching your videos it seems like you have a bit of the hyperactive side as well haha 🤣🤣 always on the go working on a new project. My dad who has the combined type is just like you in that sense. He just works on his house all day every day with building projects.
Thriving in chaos is also super normal for people with ADHD. We thrive in new environments and in situations that make neurotypical people feel stressed. We thrive as entrepreneurs, ER doctors, and like me I work in entertainment/theater and its constantly new and constantly chaos and need to be thinking on my feet quickly.
Yesssssssssss make your words Mine. Both would be rally beneficted about more knoledge about the condition. Is absolutely not only about the school
I’m a critical care nurse and my friends tell me I have ADHD . I thought they were being funny but have since looked up characteristics and I do fit the mold. I learn by drawing out the words into pictures because the words make no sense in my brain. But I have the energy of 10 people and function in complete chaos far greater then those friends that pointed out my super power !! Keep on keeping bro !! Love these guys.
Amazing!! Bec, you are such a shining example to so many. You’re one of a kind! So happy for you. Eamon. Dude. You are a cool dude. Ive followed y’all since almost the start and Im really impressed with y’alls relationship and now what great parents you both are. Thanks for sharing. Bec❤ Eamon👊🏼 btw, former RAW food vegan chef. Now carnivore/keto. I love it all. Good on you.
Thanks for the podcasts . Your podcasts have already shed light on cancer, depression, suicide, ADHD, perfectionism, ethics around foods and drugs/ medicines and so much more . Opening up discussions on these topics helps others . With all the privatisation , medicalisation and economic focus , we rarely get to discuss individual, community and society trauma and the repercussions in a meaningful, genuine and honest way ; so thank you both for already raising awareness on so many important issues. Prayers and hugs
18:57 being able to hug and love someone face to face is everything
Parenting is HARD AF - and I'm here for normalizing saying that. It's hard, it's exhausting, it's challenging, and sometimes you just want to get tf away from it for a day or five. THAT IS NORMAL and no one should beat themselves up about it. Take care of you so you can take care of Frankie; and give yourself some grace. 💜
Thank you both for being so honest! I just want to say you are both exactly the perfect parents for Frankie. You are doing a great job with her. Accidents happen, kids get bumps as they grow and learn their space, all totally normal!! Don’t stress! Also, Bec I do related to your feelings about parenting. I became a Mom by adoption, and struggle every day with the thought “someone trusted me to make his life better, so I have to do the most”. It is my most trying mental health challenge
Definitely number 1 podcast. I just love Bec you’re still learning stuff about Eamon ❤❤❤. You two truly are made for each other ❤❤❤.
Thank you so much for sharing. I may be 52 years old but I have to say that I have taken a lot from this podcast and am going to apply it to my everyday life. We are all living beings. You two are absolutely incredible 🎉 Thank you🙏❤️❤️ From Vancouver Frankie (sp) has the two most amazing parents on earth. Peace ☮️
I love this podcast and I love you guys! You’ve kept me company for years as I’ve listened to you at my lonely mundane desk job. Thanks for spreading positivity and laughter. The world needs it! ❤
I genuinely enjoy your podcasts- you both clearly put a lot of effort into being very candid and forthright and I admire that vulnerability!
I really vibed with Eamon about reading aloud in grade school...I had dyslexia; words bounced around, I read right to left not left to right and I too cannot spell to save my life!! I finally just leaned into it, taught myself how to read correctly and haven't looked back.
All of my babies fell off the bed and they are all fine😂😂😂 LOVE listening to you! Your willingness to be open and awareness of of being a work in progress is inspiring❤🥰💚🌈 I learn so much from you! 🙏🙏
As a mom of six GREAT kids (all grown up), falling off the bed happens...as did, I will admit, tossing the first one into the air and hitting the ceiling fan. There were no tears with the ceiling fan, it made no marks, but it was horrifying! We blame a lot on his encounter with the fan, but really he was ok, and it never happened again.
Also, many times if you hesitate before going into teacher mode, they will teach you something miraculous. My youngest was crawling along the floor and past the pantry shelves. She saw the peanut butter jar, stopped, sat up and picked up the peanut butter jar and started studying it. It was upside down. I went towards her, to turn it over for her and tell her it was peanut butter. I stopped because she touched the sides of the jar very gently, then moved the the edges of the lid and checked those out. She then stuck out her tongue and felt the ridges before lifting the jar towards her head as she shook it up and down. Finally, she put the jar on the floor on its side and pushed it away and watched it roll. Then she clapped her hands. I stood back and took in that she probably really knew more about that jar of peanut butter than I was going to share with her. It was a moment that still sticks to me. :)
Guys!!!! ❤❤❤ My first born fell off the bed one too many times 🤦🏻♀️ You’re awesome parents. It is so common. We would pile up the pillows and he’d still get around. It happened to me and it happened to my husband. Just have love and grace for each other 💕 Y’all are going to mess up along the way but as long as you remain a team and know that the other would never harm Frankie on purpose yall will fly in parenthood. ❤
Parenting is so amazing! Hard but the best ever. Love you guys so much!!!
I think 80-90% plant based is a terrific balance. Ultimately, we just need to educate people and then give everyone grace for their decisions. I don't think I could give up eggs and real cheese, but I try to be mindful (and demure 🙃) about how much animal products I am eating.
P.S. When your wellness center is all over the U.S. and I can join for $10 per month, I'll drop my Planet Fitness membership 😆
Labelling any person with the correct diagnosis of how their brain works is freeing and empowering not a way of holding them back
Labelling a child as lazy or not capable when it’s the way their brain works is far more damaging than having a child understand themself and how their brain works and living empowered and not shamed 🎉❤ love you both x
Bec is an excellent interviewer. She DOES understand Eamon fully. Stop with the negative comments. Not helpful. She is trying to show his personality ( ADHD) and why he says and does things. Bec has so much wisdom and patience. There are two sides of living with an ADD individual. I speak from experience. Can’t use it as an excuse to do things your own way and not include others.
I always love these podcasts, they help fill that sense of communithy, which i have been struggling to build. They encourage me and uplift me and truly help me feel so much better. I am so thankful for both Eamon and Bec for showing and sharing their life so openly and authenticly. I have learned so much from both of you and your community and I can see growth within my self, so for that I want to say Thank you from the bottom of my heart ❤️
Also, truly did not realize how large of a dog he was, mine would be babies compared to him 😂❤
As someone who fell off of the bed when I was young and broke a bone, you guys are FINE! You love that baby. She’s your whole world. You would never intentionally hurt her. It’s hard for parents to realize when their baby isn’t so much of a baby anymore. You can set them down ANYWHERE for at least 4 months and KNOW they won’t move.. it’s hard to break that cycle. You guys are absolutely amazing. Big hugs ❤️
Eamon's intensity with things reminds me a lot of my husband. He has ADHD and is much the same way. There is an analogy.I like to use when trying to explain to people how his emotions/thoughts are. It's like having Ferrari emotions with bicycle breaks. The emotions or thoughts in his head take off so fast his breaks can't handle it. You are his emergency brake. 😊. I think it would go a long way to helping him understand himself better if he really dives into learning about ADHD and how his brain processes things. He isn't broken. He is a superhero who has not learned how to fully harness the full potential of his superpower yet. Please don't say ADHD is not real. It is minimizing and hurtful to those who have it.
💯💯💯
Just so u know…I’m 68 and JUST getting to know my current self… and to add, you are going to have soooo many selves to get to know! Be easy on yourself 🥰 Love and Adore you 3! 🥰
Hey you guys, please please please read the book ADD a different perception, a hunter in a farmer’s world by Thom Hartman. For me, it truly laid out how people “with ADD” are just people who think differently than what is considered manageable, who don’t fit in to the way our schools are structured. I shudder to think what my life would have been like if I didn’t read that book. It made me actually proud of how my brain works, instead of ashamed.
I think we have control of our thoughts and feelings to some extent. You can choose how you react to some things, but also sometimes it does come down to chemistry and genetics and if you grew up with PTSD and in abusive situations, it's not something you can do on your own. If you have chronic depression or deal with PTSD, you can't just wake up one day and decide to be happy because you want to. I definitely have tried, and the healthiest thing for me as been accepting that somedays I'm going to feel bad and sometimes I just need to curl up with some hot chocolate and watch some youtube and get through it. Ive done all the meditation and yoga and gratitude and decades of therapy. I've tried positive thinking and telling myself "today I am going to have a great day". But sometimes the biochemistry wins and being okay with not being okay, is the healthiest and kindest thing for myself when I just want to curl up and disappear forever. If I could just snap my fingers and be happy I would, but sometimes it takes all my strength just to get through the day.
I have never seen you be more Canadian than in this episode! I couldn't be more infatuated with two humans! You two are really something else! Thanks for being so real, raw and transparent! It's soo incredible! Everything on here these days is smoke and mirrors! Not you guys! It's beyond refreshing!!! Xoxo Love from your Alberta fan! ❤❤
I love your new business idea and was frankly just thinking about this last night. A Wellness center incorporating various health modalities like a gym, cold plunge, sauna, nutrition classes, etc.. would be fantastic!
Thank you for sharing this episode, liked getting to know Eamon better! What amazing new Bec! I would love an episode of how you worked through running a business with your partner and it not taking over your entire relationship, navigating that challenge now.
I'm a vegan and I resonate with this so much. My husband and I have some pet chickens, so we eat their eggs and still consider ourselves pretty much vegan. I think if more people were open to eating plant based meals some of the time, it could create a much better environment where the reliance on factory farming to produce mass quantities of meat is lessened. I don't try to get my friends to go vegan, but I do encourage them to try the delicious vegan things I make!
You are both great. Bec i too was always at 150% as a mom. Everybody told me I was a great mom. Im 48 now and my daughter is 28. She told me, yeah you are a great mom except in one way, my one flaw as a mom according to her, is that I did not set an example of true self care, the self care that most people have baked into themselves. I keep going even when it causes me harm. If my loved ones especially my child want it, I have to do it even at the expense of my sanity, my rest, my physical health, mental health etc. I hope you give yourself rest. Real rest.
"We're all here on the same planet and doing the best we can" Bec, you are truly a GEM 💎 💖 Congratulations on your healing and success 🙌 this is truly amazing amd inspiring 🎉❤
I was vegan for 5 years, felt great at the beginning but after 4 years I started to feel weaker, realized I had lost too much weight, and wasn't feeling healthy. I stopped being vegan and started eating meat again and it made my life so much better. I enjoy food way more, gained a lot of muscle, and just am more relaxed around food in general.
Love you guys and happy to hear about healing and continue to pray for you guys. I will say watching this I got just a tiny bit triggered lol because I feel like women like to read into men like that and most times it’s not that serious or deep for us. We are wired differently, the masculine energy is just different and doesn’t necessarily need to be comprehended by women, works both ways. We can live in harmony but our natures don’t have to harmonize all the time. Also think that we have to consider genetic makeup of each individual. Bec, you probably as a woman have many differences with a Latina or Asian woman and it’s strictly cultural and genetics so there’s that level of complexity too. Who knows what’s in Eamons DNA as well that could explain a lot about his personality. Live this podcast, enjoyed listening to this conversation.
Thanks so much for the HONESTY! I've been following for years, so I'm really enjoying this deeper dive into knowing you all. You're so inspiring in a genuine way. Thank you and keep goingggggg
Loving Eamon's total presence and honesty throughout the podcast! Bec you are strong 💪 woman! Continue prayers for total healing!! Thanks for sharing more of yourselves in this podcast ❤❤❤
Bummed to hear that you’re no longer vegan lol (I’ll be the person who opens up that can of worms lol). It was a bonus for me when I found your channel. I’ve been an ethical vegan for 14 years and will never go back. I’ll always choose kindness over a little less stress. On the protein side of your argument, look up vegan athletes, protein is not an issue and there are world champions and huge heavy weight body builders (any athlete you can imagine) who are vegan and performance actually improves. Maybe your energy levels decreasing are from being a Dad? Don’t hate me, I can’t not try to change your minds lol
Loving these episodes, the vulnerability and openness I see you showing each other and listeners is really inspiring.
You guys are the best! Always enjoy listening and watching ❤
I just love how open you guys are and how beautiful your love and light is. You are both so great!
Emon I am 61 years old and I’ve been on this spiritual journey or over 25 years I lost count lol. If you would love to have a great “HIT” meditating talk to your Higher yourself and then listen. I know it sounds Monday boring but what comes in is so profound. Because you’re someone who has ADD you live in your right side of your brain. The information comes in so fast and furious it will blow away. You will learn so much about who you are. I use this practice when helping my students learn to tap in to all that is.❤❤❤ keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers and sending you good vibes. Thank you for the work that you both are doing.❤❤❤❤
I love the idea for a one stop shop focus on health and wellness! As a mom, I would love quality childcare! So many gyms just have a tv on and all the kids crammed into a room...childcare could be Montessori style so while you are taking time to better yourself you aren't dealing with mom guilt and know your child is also having a wonderful experience!
I love oso is there he's such a a vibe
Babies, toddlers and kids fall of the bed quite often, so don't worry, you are not the first parent that this happen to them. After it happened to mine, i always made sure bed is pushed to the wall and on the other side i am either me sleeping or there are cushions on the floor all around the bed. Or cushions on the edge of the bed. It is scary but babies kinda know how to fall, strangely to say. We adults are way more clumsy and it hurt us all over after lol. Don't worry, you both are the best parents you can possibly be to Frankie
Just be, follow your intuition, believe in yourself. Always try to be your best, live every day with no regrets. Talk to people if all ages . You might be surprised they are just like you but just older . Having children does change your life. You now are truly responsible for other humans that you will love line you never thought you could. As a person who has never gone vegan I have and am living a good life Just enjoy life and be thankful to everyone and everything that is a part of your life!!
Great podcast! I learn so much by actually hearing you, your experiences with how you are continuing to grow as individuals and as a team. Real food for thought and stimuli to become healthier myself.
I resonate with everything you said about being plant based! I have never been able to go full vegan and I really appreciate hearing you say all the same things I've been thinking about. Preach!
I don't pray but I do believe in the power of hugs. So here's some hug power for you both 🤗🤗
Being a parent is a marathon not a sprint, no parent is perfect or can give 100% of their best 24X7. Give yourselves a break & grace - Life happens and you learn as you go 🙏🏼
Listening to you guys every week has been so healing for me, so thank you ❤
Ouuu only a minute in and I’m already hooked, all smiles, so excited to get into this episode. What a great intro, great job. Let’s get to listening 🙏🏽😁☺️
We are “rooting” for you guys. So thrilled to hear how great Bec is doing! I actually lost my dad when I was a little baby to “C” and things were so different back then. I can’t say enough how thrilled I am for you! Sending all the positive vibes!!!! 🙏💝
Once again, your podcast has me in tears! Happy tears! So glad to hear the positive news of your health! You are an inspiration!❤
You guys are AMAZING! Thank you for being so open and vulnerable ❤
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
5 star Podcast!!!! 🌟 💛🙌💫☀️
Great interview Eamon!!
Can't wait for Bec to be in the Hot Seat!!!
I’ve Followed you both for years now and appreciate your content and your honesty through all the ups and downs throughout life. Always sending positive thoughts and prayers to you and your family. And I want to help support your dream. On that note, this episode was excellent! I relate to Eamon, I can’t spell either! 😂 so this comment is with much love because it’s not my comfort zone 🤪
Awesome job guys, love learning about you both and it’s been a positive experience and gives me incentive to keep working on being a better human ✌🏻♥️
Love hearing about Eamon and I would love to hear more about how to learn how to meditate and what avenues Bec has explored. I figure if Eamon can meditate for one hour with all his energy then maybe I can too. It’s hard to not think in your brain “Why me” and not have a pity party for yourself when health issues pop up. I am hoping I can heal myself the way Bec has
Oh Good! The pup is on the Podcast! yayy!!!
I am completely on Eamon's side on the Frankie falling case. That is a normal thing that will happen a million times. Whether it's somebody's fault or not, it will happen. Nothing to argue about or even discuss . In my opinion .
I found your convo about ADD intresting. They do now just use ADHD and it has 3 types: Hyperactive, Inattentive, and Combination. I think getting a diagnosis was a crazy experience as I was 13. For my family suddenly I was able to get the right support in school, and my parents had an understanding of what was happening. I would either be ultra focused or singing and dancing.( I have combined) Knowing what was happening in my brain made our family stop trying to have me conform or that I was being defiant. Instead it was looking at tools and skills to be successful that are more aligned with ADHD. It also explained to my parents why I had a reliance on caffeine at 14.( but not coffee) I think that diagonisis offer better access to the right support.
“And if you drown, well you were meant to drown!” .. laughed out loud.
You guys complete each other so well! Great listen. I always take something out of your episode and run with it to continue to evolve and just be better. Thanks!
I LOVE these podcast episodes soooo much!
Lots of attention on Bec in this comment, Eamon im so happy to see you on this journey of self discovery, scary i can imagine but exciting and helpful ❤ love what you do and I would hate to see you less but i would even more love for you to be the truest to yourself ❤
Bec, maybe the pattern of over pressuring yourself can be broken through opening up to other people in some way. Im on a similar journey and I am realising that I have an enormus struggle with letting go of some of my own believes and opening up to considering other posebilities. You are both doing amazing for this world by sharing this, but with that said i would like to say as a friend that it would be okay to focus on yourselfs and let someone else bring similar knowledge into the world, to let go of some of that pressure that i guess comes with it❤ I also want to say that what you are right now in this moment is also incredibly enough. In a way the world is failing you for putting you in the crappy situation. I also just know that you are going to be here for a long time.
Sendig loooove ❤
Totally agree there is so much toxicity on both ends of the diet camps, which is just as bad for you! Thanks for being honest and dont beat yourselves up about this - we need to create spaces to have more non-judgemental conversations about topics like this ❤
I love all of this! I’m so proud of you both and have loved watching you for YEARS. Healing internally and subconsciously is such a shift and so many won’t understand until they see how much inner self work brings clarity. Rewiring your brain is SO REAL. 🫶🏻🕊️ same journey. Was so happy when I heard you started listening to Dr. Joe Dispenza, I was hopeful you’d both find him on your previous journey.
Also, mom of 3 here… babies falling off the bed is in fact okay. It’s happened to all 3 of mine… no matter how careful you are. Grace in parenting is so difficult to have within yourself, but it’s OKAY.
I’m so fucking ready for this
