I think that there is nothing wrong with aligning yourself with like-minded people, but when you start to believe that there is only one way of living it’s a cult. I believe what we strive for is unconditional love for all humanity. I believe we all have a version of this inside of us, our most authentic self, but it looks different from person to person.
There’s something about Raya and Louis relationship that I just love. The way they communicate and talk to each other makes me so happy for some reason 😊
Thank you so so much for having us and creating such a safe space (as always) ❤️ Love you both so much and can’t wait to continue this chat.. we barely scratched the surface of how deep our chats can go 😜
Please listen to this podcast and hear the amount of "likes" Louis uses in every single sentence. It's unbearable and makes it impossible to focus on anything he says. 😢
I left this episode thinking intensely about my goals for 2025. I am inspired to add new challenges around community, social media, breath work and meditation. All 4 of you are influencers who inspire and influence me in positive ways. Thank you.
Bec, I love how positive you are and the way you speak to everyone around you. Your positivity is truly infectious, and the way you describe meditation makes me want to dive into it headfirst. Loving the podcast!!
Using AI as your “therapy” is a really, really bad idea. I cannot emphasize how bad an idea it is. AI is trained by indiscriminately scooping human writing from all kinds of sources, including profoundly unhealthy ones. A new federal lawsuit was just filed against one chat AI for encouraging people to kill and harm themselves, which is only the most extreme of many troubling interactions people have had by doing exactly what you guys are suggesting as a good idea. Express a difficult idea or emotion, and AI is just as likely to respond with ideas taken from American Psycho or a pro-Ana website as it is to pull from things put out there by smart and helpful people. Not necessarily obviously out there ones, but responses that reinforce selfish thinking and minimizing the needs of others, or that feed into any pangs of self-hate or depression you might be having. And everything you tell it is going into a database that is probably not doing anything right now except teaching the AI, but as soon as companies figure out ways to use that info, you’d better bet they’ll be paying for access to it. Do you really want to feed that corporate machine with your personal thoughts?
Ive been subscribed to Raya and Louis separately and as a couple for a long time. I love their content and their lives as people, but this episode made me realize ive never really just listened to Louis talk and his natural positivity to life and excitement and experiences are so interesting. I found myself smiling so much throughout this episode, so thank you for sharing ❤
The four of you together are sooooo very inspiring, this podcast has done so much for me personally. I only wish that you could all do a podcast on a regular basis. Wow, this was amazing! You all are such intelligent, progressive, deep thinking humans.
I didn't know who they were, nevertheless I listened to the podcast, and may I say it's your best one... They are so open, honest, real and relatable. And they know how to carry the conversation, they didn't even need any questions to go deep.
I honestly love the in-depth conversation with your guests even if their story is already online, your questions and conversation are so relevant! You do what makes you happy, we are here to clap for you! Xx
I’m so happy I found Louis and Raya! I found their family channel first and loved it. So a few weeks later I checkled out Louis channel and was shocked at how many followers he has. Pretty impressive! Anyway, the content of his vlogs didn’t speak to me. I think the channel is more geared towards guys. So two weeks ago I started to watch Raya’s channel and expected to see what I see on the family channel. Boy was I surprised! Being a single girl on the adventures of her life was and is great to watch. She was such a fun, down to earth, a great speaker, smart single woman. Now she is that plus the nurturing mother and supportive and sweet wife! Well done Raya!
I absolutely love this podcast. It makes me so happy to deep dive even further in the lives of all my favorite creators. I saw 2 hours and thought OH YES BABY! I love you all so so much. Thank you.
Bec, your viewers are not resistant to change- your vlogs were fun and the podcast....not. Viewers have a right to have opinions about what they are consuming. It sounds like you think they should automatically love everything you do.
Thank you so much for sharing so honestly and openly 🙏🏻 all your hearts are so pure and it’s such a gift to listen to this conversation! So much love B & J ❤
Just wanted to say that I REALLY loved and appreciated the spirituality conversation. As someone who has grown up in the church as well it has been very interesting to figure out what that all means to me in my adulthood. Personally, I think it's very good and healthy to questions one's beliefs. People can take it a step too far by saying you're not allowed to question your beliefs...among other things. Thanks guys!
As someone who’s been trying to spend less time watching meaningless content, whether it be on instagram or youtube- These podcast have been a game changer. They’ve inspired me since their first van build, but getting to know their friends and inspirations leaves me coming out feeling energized and fulfilled! For those who are leaving rude comments about cult-like behaviour or wanting the old videos back, feel free to find another channel and leave the negativity out of the comments. They sincerely don’t need that.
Could you pleease do an episode where Bec talks about her spiritual journey? I’m so curious to know the details: how she started, any teachers she follows, her current practices etc 💞 am LOVING the episodes… I’ve listened to every one!
This is a must see podcast! You have created such a safe space for people to be their authentic selves. Love Raya and Louie as well (and Raya even made me cry).
what Louis said about body image is very important. The media and the world we live in truly make distorted versions of what beauty, attraction, etc should look like. But I wanna take it a little bit further. We live in a society that makes us compete against each other constantly: who's more pretty, who has more likes, who gets paid more, who gets better grades, who has tha fanciest clothes or the bigger car, even who suffers more. It's soooo tiring and so difficult to disconnect from. I remember being a kid at school and teachers kinda promoting this competition to get better grades than the other kids and me thinking "why would I want for the other kids to get worse grades than me, I wish we could all get the best grades". Or hearing elder people say stuff like they had a worse life than us and we shouldn't be complaining about injustices. Man I wish the future generations had the easiest, happiest, most fulfilling life, even if I dont get to live like that. We should be working together to make a better world for those who come after us. Don't buy into the extreme individualism they are trying to impose on us. We are stronger together
@@karyuunolore Wishing good things for others puts you and one of the highest moral stages of development. I hope that your continued kindness brings you much positively in your own life.

OMG Bec and Raya!!! The woman power talk!!! You are both in my head, woman are so powerful ✨️ 💖!! I would love to see a podcast of Bec, Raya, Aimee and Kara!!!!! Love you ladies I felt this talk so deeply. THANK YOU!!!
You all rock! This (as usual) was an amazing podcast! I think it narrows down to what Eamon said, “If everyone knew we are all one” everything else would fall into place! ❤
It’s not intense you started the podcast. But yall just stopped vlogging. Some of us don’t wanna hear these ppls stories over and over on different podcasts. Most of these ppl are on tons of podcasts. We just miss seeing yall in your normal habitat and Eamons spur of the moment projects
You all are very seen and heard and appreciated for being your raw unfiltered selves. Thank you all for just being you and know you are loved by more people then you know. ❤❤❤❤
Damn guys! This is such a good podcast. Seriously the best!! - I love these Real chats, real talks, talking about meditations, mushroom experiences, spirituality, oneness, it's just so good. I just started the Joe Dispenza meditations. Really excited. :)
Louis you had a huge shift. Going for a psychedelic session next week. Can’t wait! I highly recommend you connect with either of my favorite non dual people: Angelo DiLullo and Gangaji. So agree with you about reels on social media and TH-cam is just as guilty by providing a menu of reels on the home page.
Love this podcast! Saw some negative comments and I wanted to take the time to come spread some positivity because I LOVE THIS POD! Please keep being authentically you and know that those who post negative comments may not ever fully understand your perspective and that’s okay💚 much love and appreciation for you guys and this pod❤️💚❤️
Co living is so brilliant and underrated. I love living in this way. I feel so many are afraid to buck the current traditional mindset of individual or direct nuclear family living to their detriment. Thank you for sharing the incredible benefits.
I really like the dynamics of your whole group of friends. You have a common bond and each person has an intimate understanding of that bond. That is the essence of true friendship and it is lacking in many peoples lives.
I definitely don't like living with others, my husband and kids yes but not extras, I prefer my own space and feel comfortable at home and relaxed. I feel uncomfortable with others in the house and just want to get away from them after awhile. Living with a group of people would be my nightmare. It's not for everyone. I did grow up in as a only child in a quiet house.
I have a hard time living with others too. Other than my immediate family, I mean. I'm too much of an introvert and people wear me down. I need my space. Also, I have trust issues. I don't trust others with my kids. I've heard of and know some bad situations. But it's cool that Louis and Raya have had good experiences with it
I gained 60 pounds on a vegetarian diet I was constantly hungry, tired, and sick and brain fog . Started eating meat again and lost 60 pounds .. took me about 10 years to gain and about 5 years to lose it . I was working as a vet tech at the time and teh veterinarian said to me " I will believe someone is a vegetarian when they yank out their canine teeth"
Canine teeth aren't just for meat. Especially how us, as humans, eat meat lol. Pre-packaged....fast food, etc. Compare that to a lion and then get back to me about the teeth theory lmao.
@@brennapetersen8522 but there are others that are thriving on that keto diet even a few doctors here on youtube that went on that keto diet. Personally the thought of just eating meat makes me nauseous ..I think the best diet for the majority of humans is the Mediterranean diet It is about moderation not depravation. Plus humans are all differnt what some people can eat other can not . In the US I think biggest problems is all the crap that is our food GMO, stuff on our wheat, dyes, chemicals . JFK jr says when he went italy and ate pasta there he had no gluten allergy symptoms. You can search on youtube people comparing the ingredients in the same brand and item in the US and other countries,,, other countries do not let certain poisonous in their food. but that company makes it special for other countries but keeps the bad stuff in the item they sell to the US people.
Please don't read this as snark. I'm genuinely wanting to understand how people who are so focused on authenticity and goodness, how do you reconcile dismissing and deleting social media app when that is literally your job? You rely on social media for us to find and consume your content as content creators, yet you are rejecting the concept and calling it toxic enough to delete it. And you put your children on it as content, from an age where they can't consent or understand? How are we as your supporters supposed to digest that? I want to support your work but I only find and have access through social media.
Are you subscribed to their channels here on TH-cam and able to watch/listen to their content here? I don't use social media to get updates for their channel, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on their content. Not only do I find TH-cam less toxic since it's a search engine rather than a social media platform, but I also find I am more intentional about how I spend time here, because I am very conscious of the time commitment when watching videos on TH-cam (as opposed to scrolling on social media). Alternatively, if you are "just" listening to the Reroot podcast, you can listen via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts; and I find podcast platforms even easier to be intentional than TH-cam, since TH-cam has other video recommendations, and it auto plays another video when one has started. But, ultimately, I think it comes down to how you're choosing to interact with these platforms. Like Raya mentioned that she is more intentional about using Instagram on desktop as opposed to on mobile. If you are aware of your habits as you consume social media, you will know where you're not being intentional, what is toxic *for you*, and what boundaries would help improve your life. There are thousands, if not millions, of businesses that rely on the internet to make money. And at the same time, there are still humans behind all of these businesses who deal with the same struggles as anyone else. Some folks tend to fall into the habits of doom scrolling more than others. Some folks tend to get distracted by social media more than others. Some folks spiral from social media more than others. If you're someone who has super healthy boundaries with social media and it's not negatively impacting your mood and your life, (in my opinion) you don't need to feel poorly because you use social media. I believe the intentionality that these folks talk so much about is really just being mindful of where your time and energy are going compared to how you want to be living your life. If there's a disconnect or misalignment there, that's when actions like deleting a social media app may be helpful. I know this is just my perspective, but I hope it helps! ❤
I just received my conversation cards. I got them as a Christmas present for my self. I have 2 children with and partner who doesn't like deep chats. But I have learned so much more just by asking!! I have asked my kids some questions as well and I love it so much. It has taken the pressure off because I have a card in my hand rather than mumma asking random questions 🙃
I love you interviewing all of the people that I watch. We get to know them at such a deeper level. I don’t ever see them being interviewed on other channels ( like someone said). Adding in the behind the scenes is a brilliant move!
I love that you guys are finding what works for you. I love watching the podcast and look forward to every episode. Do only what you love and everything will work out. ❤
So excited for this chat, so much positivity in one room!! Plus I just got my first Habit order!! Loving the matcha (it's maybe the best I've ever had)!! Both the chais are fantastic and the lavender mint made me sleep like a baby the other day. I'm sitting down with a rooibos chai and tuning in 😊
Please please please ask Dana and Lou to be your guests! Their channel is Wild we roam... I think that convo would be on par with this one. I've been following your main channel since you met Max and Lee, and this podcast is slowly becoming my favourite. This episode is so interesting and lovely and inspiring. Thank you!
This episode was definitely one of my faves. I was a subscriber of food for Louie back in the day and I remember watching the vlog where he met Raya on camera! This episode was interesting talking about their experience with plant medicine!
I do think Emon and Bec have a slight responsibility to check their privileged when it comes to the life they are living now. I do think everyone has a story and doesn't have to align with these blanket statements. Mediation is Great but it's not gonna heal everyone for everything.
What a great episode..I don’t know this beautiful couple but I love this very real episode. We are Ontario seniors, living in BC, moving to Nova Scotia to be closer to my son and his new partner. They have a surprise pregnancy that has been challenging and so this new baby is such a gift I don’t want to miss. I’ve have breast cancer, hysterectomy..all the stuff and I look forward to the amazing journey of this life!
Another amazing episode, and loved that it started before you entered the studio. Great idea! Key takeaways: 1. Don't eat goldfish, 2. Do shrooms at least once, 3. start intentional breathing, 4. women should be running the world. 5. Be kind to AI (I totally do the same as Louis, always, say please and thank you). 6. love, love, love ❤❤❤
I love this but to b honest i cant enjoy it with a commercial every 3-5 minutes! I know it's one way of making their money but they control the amount of commercials. I wonder if anyone else stops watching b4 the end bc of this?
Another Great One is in the books... thank you @Raya and Louis for sharing 💙 ❤❤❤! Keep em coming Eamon and Bec..I love Reroot Podcast! Xoxo from Dallas Texas
Eeeeeek! I was actually super pumped for you to have R and L on! I didn't think we could beat last episode but here we are super duper killing it!!!!! Love everything you guys do! You have no idea how much you brighten this Albertans life! Here for it all! Bug big hugs! Xoxo
I loved it too, I hate being in big groups of people, living with a heap of people would be my worst nightmare. I can't wait to get home to my quiet space when I've been out and about.
Great conversation, however the amount of ads really took away from it. I always appreciate when creators keep this in mind more when making those choices and didn't focus as much on trying to bring up their AdSense.
You can choose to buy add free content on TH-cam and then you don’t have to complain about the Completely Free entertainment and content you are consuming.
I am thankful for social media, otherwise I would have not gotten to know your 4 souls, which are amazing by the way! Keep doing what makes your heart happy, and thank you for letting us be a part of what you let us be a part of.
What irritates me about travel influencers is the fact that they seem to completely ignore that their immense consumption of mobility contributes significantly to climate change, which is already causing devastating effects in many regions of the world. They talk about appreciating nature and all living beings, while their lifestyle massively contributes to the destruction of our natural environment. Do these people even spare a second to think about the people in India and Bangladesh who have to endure temperatures around 50 degrees Celsius due to climate change and lose their livelihoods in catastrophic floods? They speak about universal love and are at the same moment unbelievable egocentric.
@@SarahNissen A single round-trip flight from Costa Rica to Canada in business class equals the annual CO₂ emissions of an average person in India (2 tons). In comparison, the per capita emissions in Germany are 8 tons per year, while in the United States, every person emits 14 tons per year. For a single round-trip flight from Costa Rica to Europe: Economy-Klasse: ca. 3,4 Tonnen CO₂. Business-Klasse: ca. 6,8 Tonnen CO₂. First-Class: ca. 10,2 Tonnen CO₂. A single round-trip intercontinental flight for the entire global population would more than double humanity's current annual CO₂ emissions. Emissions at high altitudes have a stronger climate impact than those at ground level. In addition to CO₂, airplanes release other pollutants like water vapor and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to cloud formation and ozone creation, further enhancing global warming. These non-CO₂ effects can increase the climate impact of aviation by a factor of 1.5 to 3, making air travel disproportionately harmful to the environment.
@@SarahNissenyou can use some common sense, driving a large gas guzzling van thousands of km …. Planes…. Yes of course it’s detrimental and hypocritical actually.
OMG this is freaking awesome I prioritize this podcast now .....Raya is the most beautiful person ever ....Louis is just the ultimate creative adventurer....all of you together in one place is next level ❤❤❤
Really interesting and honest conversations. I just want to add that God is love so keep exploring that concept. Eamon, the christian hymns are some of the most beautiful I have ever heard. Listen to and look into the background of It is Well With My Soul. The hymn was written by a man that encountered absolutely traumatic events, but managed to find the peace in it because of feeling God's love. The nail to the cross that Bec was singing was based on an event that actually occurred. It's significant since it demonstrates God's love (the bible will unpack that one for you).
I have been waiting for this episode since you started your podcast. I love watching you guys and love Raya and Louis. The part when Louis talks about is journey with religion was so insightful and resonated with me. And like Raya, I have been thinking about deleting social media from my phone and I did it while listening.
I love the thought of living in a "real community"! Where I live (Arizona) I don't have a community - I hardly know my neighbors and I've lived in the same house for over 20 years. We don't even answer the door anymore - it's always someone wanting something from you. And now that I'm older (I'm retired) I wonder if it's even possible to find a community. I go to the gym a lot (working out helps) in hopes of finding new friends, it's slow-going because everyone is usually on guard. I feel as if being a part of a community is NOT really important in the US today, it hasn't been since the 50's - sadly. love you guys!
Bec and Raya are radiant in this video!! ✨ beautiful! (Eamon and Louis, you guys are too, haha!) Loved the behind the scenes bit at the beginning, more more more! Love you guys!!
Such a great video! (As always yall don’t disappoint!😊) being on the first time mom journey myself, it definitely is hard to find the time for myself. I work full time, so yes of is so difficult to leave my baby all day, and giving so much energy to my job (hairstylist), even though I’m drained the most meaningful part of my day is coming home to my kiddo! And as exhausting as it is, I claim solo bath time as mine! lol! As well as listening to this podcast! 😂 Divide and conquer has been my husbands and i’s best way to go about our lives! Again love yall and let the good vibes roll!!! ❤
I love Raya and Louis! Thank you for having them on your show. This this whole conversation gave me a lot to reflect on. I have to say that I felt a bit like Raya was shaming those of us that are not Vegan at the end when you asked the "real talk" questions...the eating animal talk at the end really threw me...Especially when most of what she was saying was all about acceptance and love. I was waiting for Eamon would jump in and say something.
Lovely Podcast! Community oh man what a great topic... I could talk hours on end on this. But maybe I just pick one aspect out of it in my review. I now watched just a few Reroot Podcasts here (sorry for being a little late to the party)... but it is so inspirational to see that all the guests you have at the podcast I feel I know a tiny bit already. The pandemic period was the time, which opened up the "TH-cam-Universe" to me and it was these videos of the Vanlife TH-camrs (I used to refer to back then), which caught my interest and I was and still am following you. After a while watching all of your different channels I got curious, if you all know each other and how cool that would be. Then a little further down / deeper into watching your content... there were references between you (Eamon and Bec, Raya and Louis, Trent and Ally, Craig and Aimee, Kara and Nate, Jordan and Kaylee, Max and Lee, Theo and Bee, Brittany and Drew...)... So there it is... a Community! This community is very authentic, so real and unique in the way that it is not restricted to a certain region/town or area... it is a Community which exists across continents, cultures, confessions, believes etc. - And although it is debatable and probably very one-sided, but I always feel I am more than just an "observer" or part of a quiet "audience" watching all of you. This aspect makes me feel connected and makes me look positive every time I tune in... as it is proof and shows, we (as humans and societies) are able to live in better ways together and the world is not just one big mess. I thank you all for allowing me taking part (by watching and from time to time commenting) on your amazing journeys!
You can truly tell they’ve found their soulmates! The way Louis looks at Raya when she talks about her body, their child- you can even see Eamon and Bec mirroring one another without even realizing it- it’s beautiful to watch. 🫶🏻
I have to say, I have been a loyal viewer for years. This podcast was the best one thus far! I can't wait to really hear your journey of spirituality and meditation. I'm 57 and my husband is 69. We have been on a spiritual path but just started breath work. Thanks!
Amazing episode that truly helped me on my own current journey. Thank you ❤ (ps: for deep conversation games check We’re not really strangers too, big in vanlife community now!)
Love the sentiment and idea to embrace community and appreciate nature and animals (and that includes not eating them!). I think we’re all feeling that so much after Covid lockdowns.
Ive never seen their videos, i know about them and what a great video! Def need to check out their channels ❤ i think this was one of my faves but honestly i say that every time 🤣❤️ yall always give us great episodes 💓
THIS! This is my therapy. This is so authentic! Real! Alive and satisfying. I could listen to the four of you talking every week. I got so much out of this podcast and all of it sits within my heart. A thousand thank you’s 🙏. (Ps. Raya and Bec, a side podcast with you two, regularly, would be the ultimate to me!)
Guys, adding the behind the scenes to this podcast is genius, I love it
@@GlynTaylor we wanted to try something a bit different 🫶
Agreed!!
Me too! Love that personal touch. I was going to say the next Eamon and Bec video should be a behind the scenes making of the podcast.
I agree , best of both worlds, a little behind the scenes "daily vlog" action and in depth conversations. Brilliant.
Feel warmer and more personal!❤
Louis' expression when Raya is talking about her body and he goes "but it still did look good" is priceless!
I think that there is nothing wrong with aligning yourself with like-minded people, but when you start to believe that there is only one way of living it’s a cult. I believe what we strive for is unconditional love for all humanity. I believe we all have a version of this inside of us, our most authentic self, but it looks different from person to person.
I agree. I, for one, would go crazy living with a bunch of people. I can't deal with having the energy of too many people around me!
There’s something about Raya and Louis relationship that I just love. The way they communicate and talk to each other makes me so happy for some reason 😊
Same!!
Thank you so so much for having us and creating such a safe space (as always) ❤️ Love you both so much and can’t wait to continue this chat.. we barely scratched the surface of how deep our chats can go 😜
💜❤️
Please listen to this podcast and hear the amount of "likes" Louis uses in every single sentence.
It's unbearable and makes it impossible to focus on anything he says. 😢
It’s a generational thing. They all say “ like” as a part of their normal speech pattern.
I totally agree, it's so annoying! All of their friends on the podcast can't speak without saying a million "likes"!!!
Louis, did you not watch Shane Dawson's AI video..?
I left this episode thinking intensely about my goals for 2025. I am inspired to add new challenges around community, social media, breath work and meditation. All 4 of you are influencers who inspire and influence me in positive ways. Thank you.
Well put. I'm totally with you❤
Bec, I love how positive you are and the way you speak to everyone around you. Your positivity is truly infectious, and the way you describe meditation makes me want to dive into it headfirst. Loving the podcast!!

Or hearing elder people say stuff like they had a worse life than us and we shouldn't be complaining about injustices. Man I wish the future generations had the easiest, happiest, most fulfilling life, even if I dont get to live like that. We should be working together to make a better world for those who come after us. Don't buy into the extreme individualism they are trying to impose on us. We are stronger together
@@karyuunolore Wishing good things for others puts you and one of the highest moral stages of development. I hope that your continued kindness brings you much positively in your own life.
Thank you for being so honest and vulnerable, guys ❤️ amazing conversation and so many insights! 🙏
Such a great episode you guys! So much to relate to and just think you’re all absolutely brilliant ❤
Time to have The Newby’s on the Podcast! I would love that so much!

@@Bikechick73its misinformation 😔
lol prolly cause your toxic negativity let the people live
My comments were deleted which I felt was unfair
OMG Bec and Raya!!! The woman power talk!!! You are both in my head, woman are so powerful ✨️ 💖!!
I would love to see a podcast of Bec, Raya, Aimee and Kara!!!!! Love you ladies I felt this talk so deeply. THANK YOU!!!
I knew it! Louis has tripped balls before😂😂😂😂
Loving these podcasts! Thank you guys
You all rock! This (as usual) was an amazing podcast! I think it narrows down to what Eamon said, “If everyone knew we are all one” everything else would fall into place! ❤
My favourite part of the week! Thanks Eamon & Bec for being so real and open with us, and sharing your beautiful friendships 💖
Urgh there's just always so much love in the room ❤ sending it right back at you guys 💗
It’s not intense you started the podcast. But yall just stopped vlogging. Some of us don’t wanna hear these ppls stories over and over on different podcasts. Most of these ppl are on tons of podcasts. We just miss seeing yall in your normal habitat and Eamons spur of the moment projects
I HOPE THEY READ THIS COMMENT...
This! They're interviewing people whose stories and lives are already on the internet....
❤
I honestly love the podcast and think they should do whatever makes them the happiest and feels right to them ❤ much love guys
Why not try to embrace their new venture and what THEY want to do?
You all are very seen and heard and appreciated for being your raw unfiltered selves. Thank you all for just being you and know you are loved by more people then you know. ❤❤❤❤
This podcast has been LIFE CHANGING. Seriously life changing. Thank you!
Damn guys! This is such a good podcast. Seriously the best!! - I love these Real chats, real talks, talking about meditations, mushroom experiences, spirituality, oneness, it's just so good. I just started the Joe Dispenza meditations. Really excited. :)
Louis you had a huge shift. Going for a psychedelic session next week. Can’t wait! I highly recommend you connect with either of my favorite non dual people: Angelo DiLullo and Gangaji. So agree with you about reels on social media and TH-cam is just as guilty by providing a menu of reels on the home page.
Love this podcast! Saw some negative comments and I wanted to take the time to come spread some positivity because I LOVE THIS POD! Please keep being authentically you and know that those who post negative comments may not ever fully understand your perspective and that’s okay💚 much love and appreciation for you guys and this pod❤️💚❤️
They cut the part of the video that they knew was driving the negative comments, so they definitely understand what they're doing.
Co living is so brilliant and underrated. I love living in this way. I feel so many are afraid to buck the current traditional mindset of individual or direct nuclear family living to their detriment. Thank you for sharing the incredible benefits.
I really like the dynamics of your whole group of friends. You have a common bond and each person has an intimate understanding of that bond. That is the essence of true friendship and it is lacking in many peoples lives.
I definitely don't like living with others, my husband and kids yes but not extras, I prefer my own space and feel comfortable at home and relaxed. I feel uncomfortable with others in the house and just want to get away from them after awhile. Living with a group of people would be my nightmare. It's not for everyone. I did grow up in as a only child in a quiet house.
I have a hard time living with others too. Other than my immediate family, I mean. I'm too much of an introvert and people wear me down. I need my space. Also, I have trust issues. I don't trust others with my kids. I've heard of and know some bad situations. But it's cool that Louis and Raya have had good experiences with it
I can’t see Eamon doing this podcast long term with no real release of his artistry.
Loved this episode! Have followed Louis and Raya for years and this gave me new insights into their lives -- especially loved the spirituality convo!
I gained 60 pounds on a vegetarian diet I was constantly hungry, tired, and sick and brain fog . Started eating meat again and lost 60 pounds .. took me about 10 years to gain and about 5 years to lose it . I was working as a vet tech at the time and teh veterinarian said to me " I will believe someone is a vegetarian when they yank out their canine teeth"
Canine teeth aren't just for meat. Especially how us, as humans, eat meat lol. Pre-packaged....fast food, etc. Compare that to a lion and then get back to me about the teeth theory lmao.
I've lost a tonight on a vegetarian diet. And my blood work always comes out really good.
@@brennapetersen8522 but there are others that are thriving on that keto diet even a few doctors here on youtube that went on that keto diet. Personally the thought of just eating meat makes me nauseous ..I think the best diet for the majority of humans is the Mediterranean diet It is about moderation not depravation. Plus humans are all differnt what some people can eat other can not . In the US I think biggest problems is all the crap that is our food GMO, stuff on our wheat, dyes, chemicals . JFK jr says when he went italy and ate pasta there he had no gluten allergy symptoms. You can search on youtube people comparing the ingredients in the same brand and item in the US and other countries,,, other countries do not let certain poisonous in their food. but that company makes it special for other countries but keeps the bad stuff in the item they sell to the US people.
Please don't read this as snark. I'm genuinely wanting to understand how people who are so focused on authenticity and goodness, how do you reconcile dismissing and deleting social media app when that is literally your job? You rely on social media for us to find and consume your content as content creators, yet you are rejecting the concept and calling it toxic enough to delete it. And you put your children on it as content, from an age where they can't consent or understand? How are we as your supporters supposed to digest that? I want to support your work but I only find and have access through social media.
Are you subscribed to their channels here on TH-cam and able to watch/listen to their content here? I don't use social media to get updates for their channel, and I don't feel like I'm missing out on their content. Not only do I find TH-cam less toxic since it's a search engine rather than a social media platform, but I also find I am more intentional about how I spend time here, because I am very conscious of the time commitment when watching videos on TH-cam (as opposed to scrolling on social media). Alternatively, if you are "just" listening to the Reroot podcast, you can listen via Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen to podcasts; and I find podcast platforms even easier to be intentional than TH-cam, since TH-cam has other video recommendations, and it auto plays another video when one has started.
But, ultimately, I think it comes down to how you're choosing to interact with these platforms. Like Raya mentioned that she is more intentional about using Instagram on desktop as opposed to on mobile. If you are aware of your habits as you consume social media, you will know where you're not being intentional, what is toxic *for you*, and what boundaries would help improve your life. There are thousands, if not millions, of businesses that rely on the internet to make money. And at the same time, there are still humans behind all of these businesses who deal with the same struggles as anyone else. Some folks tend to fall into the habits of doom scrolling more than others. Some folks tend to get distracted by social media more than others. Some folks spiral from social media more than others. If you're someone who has super healthy boundaries with social media and it's not negatively impacting your mood and your life, (in my opinion) you don't need to feel poorly because you use social media. I believe the intentionality that these folks talk so much about is really just being mindful of where your time and energy are going compared to how you want to be living your life. If there's a disconnect or misalignment there, that's when actions like deleting a social media app may be helpful.
I know this is just my perspective, but I hope it helps! ❤
I just received my conversation cards. I got them as a Christmas present for my self.
I have 2 children with and partner who doesn't like deep chats. But I have learned so much more just by asking!!
I have asked my kids some questions as well and I love it so much.
It has taken the pressure off because I have a card in my hand rather than mumma asking random questions 🙃
I love you interviewing all of the people that I watch. We get to know them at such a deeper level. I don’t ever see them being interviewed on other channels ( like someone said). Adding in the behind the scenes is a brilliant move!
I love that you guys are finding what works for you. I love watching the podcast and look forward to every episode. Do only what you love and everything will work out. ❤
So excited for this chat, so much positivity in one room!! Plus I just got my first Habit order!! Loving the matcha (it's maybe the best I've ever had)!! Both the chais are fantastic and the lavender mint made me sleep like a baby the other day. I'm sitting down with a rooibos chai and tuning in 😊
Please please please ask Dana and Lou to be your guests! Their channel is Wild we roam... I think that convo would be on par with this one. I've been following your main channel since you met Max and Lee, and this podcast is slowly becoming my favourite. This episode is so interesting and lovely and inspiring. Thank you!
Great suggestion!
So so pure ❤ it’s 2.09am and I’m wide awake and Im invested. Love you all ❤
This episode was definitely one of my faves. I was a subscriber of food for Louie back in the day and I remember watching the vlog where he met Raya on camera! This episode was interesting talking about their experience with plant medicine!
I do think Emon and Bec have a slight responsibility to check their privileged when it comes to the life they are living now. I do think everyone has a story and doesn't have to align with these blanket statements. Mediation is Great but it's not gonna heal everyone for everything.
What a great episode..I don’t know this beautiful couple but I love this very real episode. We are Ontario seniors, living in BC, moving to Nova Scotia to be closer to my son and his new partner. They have a surprise pregnancy that has been challenging and so this new baby is such a gift I don’t want to miss. I’ve have breast cancer, hysterectomy..all the stuff and I look forward to the amazing journey of this life!
Wow, you guys, what an amazing episode! Raya is so incredibly intelligent and thoughtful.
What a lovely, expansive and inspiring connection! Thanks for letting us all sit with you in conversation. 🧡
Another amazing episode, and loved that it started before you entered the studio. Great idea! Key takeaways: 1. Don't eat goldfish, 2. Do shrooms at least once, 3. start intentional breathing, 4. women should be running the world. 5. Be kind to AI (I totally do the same as Louis, always, say please and thank you). 6. love, love, love ❤❤❤
I didn't want this podcast to end!
I love this but to b honest i cant enjoy it with a commercial every 3-5 minutes! I know it's one way of making their money but they control the amount of commercials. I wonder if anyone else stops watching b4 the end bc of this?
Yes, the commercials add a lot of time to a 2 hour podcast
100% I leave as soon as the commercial comes up.
Loved this one! There were so many new things to learn.
Another Great One is in the books... thank you @Raya and Louis for sharing 💙 ❤❤❤! Keep em coming Eamon and Bec..I love Reroot Podcast! Xoxo from Dallas Texas
Raya and Louie need to start their own podcast , they have some very interesting experiences and ideas
It is amazing to watch how Louis looks at Raya - there is so much love there ❤️ - it made me cry
Raya !! You are so beautiful and honest and a wonderful person, mom and wife. You guys inspire me with positivity
Eeeeeek! I was actually super pumped for you to have R and L on! I didn't think we could beat last episode but here we are super duper killing it!!!!! Love everything you guys do! You have no idea how much you brighten this Albertans life! Here for it all! Bug big hugs! Xoxo
Love you 4 sooo much! I could listen for hours!
I guess we r all different because i thrived being stuck at home with my family during covid!😂
I loved it too, I hate being in big groups of people, living with a heap of people would be my worst nightmare. I can't wait to get home to my quiet space when I've been out and about.
I loved this! Four very special people ! Thanks for talking so freely.♥
Great conversation, however the amount of ads really took away from it. I always appreciate when creators keep this in mind more when making those choices and didn't focus as much on trying to bring up their AdSense.
They said the podcast currently makes 0 money. The ads are literally funding your entertainment 😂
Stop complaining and be happy for them!
💯 this
You can choose to buy add free content on TH-cam and then you don’t have to complain about the Completely Free entertainment and content you are consuming.
Loved this alot more than expecting. ❤❤❤❤ These keep getting better.
I am thankful for social media, otherwise I would have not gotten to know your 4 souls, which are amazing by the way! Keep doing what makes your heart happy, and thank you for letting us be a part of what you let us be a part of.
What irritates me about travel influencers is the fact that they seem to completely ignore that their immense consumption of mobility contributes significantly to climate change, which is already causing devastating effects in many regions of the world. They talk about appreciating nature and all living beings, while their lifestyle massively contributes to the destruction of our natural environment. Do these people even spare a second to think about the people in India and Bangladesh who have to endure temperatures around 50 degrees Celsius due to climate change and lose their livelihoods in catastrophic floods? They speak about universal love and are at the same moment unbelievable egocentric.
I’m curious how much airplane travel impacts climate change. Is it a big part of it, as far as you know?
@@SarahNissen A single round-trip flight from Costa Rica to Canada in business class equals the annual CO₂ emissions of an average person in India (2 tons). In comparison, the per capita emissions in Germany are 8 tons per year, while in the United States, every person emits 14 tons per year.
For a single round-trip flight from Costa Rica to Europe:
Economy-Klasse: ca. 3,4 Tonnen CO₂.
Business-Klasse: ca. 6,8 Tonnen CO₂.
First-Class: ca. 10,2 Tonnen CO₂.
A single round-trip intercontinental flight for the entire global population would more than double humanity's current annual CO₂ emissions.
Emissions at high altitudes have a stronger climate impact than those at ground level. In addition to CO₂, airplanes release other pollutants like water vapor and nitrogen oxides (NOx), which contribute to cloud formation and ozone creation, further enhancing global warming. These non-CO₂ effects can increase the climate impact of aviation by a factor of 1.5 to 3, making air travel disproportionately harmful to the environment.
@@SarahNissenyou can use some common sense, driving a large gas guzzling van thousands of km …. Planes…. Yes of course it’s detrimental and hypocritical actually.
Great pod! The four of you together was magic!
OMG this is freaking awesome I prioritize this podcast now .....Raya is the most beautiful person ever ....Louis is just the ultimate creative adventurer....all of you together in one place is next level ❤❤❤
Quote of the week, "I don't think they EVER cleaned it". That resonates. 😅
Really interesting and honest conversations. I just want to add that God is love so keep exploring that concept. Eamon, the christian hymns are some of the most beautiful I have ever heard. Listen to and look into the background of It is Well With My Soul. The hymn was written by a man that encountered absolutely traumatic events, but managed to find the peace in it because of feeling God's love. The nail to the cross that Bec was singing was based on an event that actually occurred. It's significant since it demonstrates God's love (the bible will unpack that one for you).
I have been waiting for this episode since you started your podcast. I love watching you guys and love Raya and Louis. The part when Louis talks about is journey with religion was so insightful and resonated with me. And like Raya, I have been thinking about deleting social media from my phone and I did it while listening.
Loving this podcast, get excited whenever a new one pops up! X
I loved every minute of this podcast! ❤
I love the thought of living in a "real community"! Where I live (Arizona) I don't have a community - I hardly know my neighbors and I've lived in the same house for over 20 years. We don't even answer the door anymore - it's always someone wanting something from you. And now that I'm older (I'm retired) I wonder if it's even possible to find a community. I go to the gym a lot (working out helps) in hopes of finding new friends, it's slow-going because everyone is usually on guard. I feel as if being a part of a community is NOT really important in the US today, it hasn't been since the 50's - sadly. love you guys!
As a fellow ChatGPT therapy patient I feel so heard. The ChatGPT affirmation is crazzzzy
Bec and Raya are radiant in this video!! ✨ beautiful! (Eamon and Louis, you guys are too, haha!) Loved the behind the scenes bit at the beginning, more more more! Love you guys!!
Love the podcast. It’s my favorite content of y’all’s to watch ❤
Great episode! I love to her their experience and that moves me so much to find my community!
Such a great video! (As always yall don’t disappoint!😊) being on the first time mom journey myself, it definitely is hard to find the time for myself. I work full time, so yes of is so difficult to leave my baby all day, and giving so much energy to my job (hairstylist), even though I’m drained the most meaningful part of my day is coming home to my kiddo! And as exhausting as it is, I claim solo bath time as mine! lol! As well as listening to this podcast! 😂 Divide and conquer has been my husbands and i’s best way to go about our lives! Again love yall and let the good vibes roll!!! ❤
I love Raya and Louis! Thank you for having them on your show. This this whole conversation gave me a lot to reflect on. I have to say that I felt a bit like Raya was shaming those of us that are not Vegan at the end when you asked the "real talk" questions...the eating animal talk at the end really threw me...Especially when most of what she was saying was all about acceptance and love. I was waiting for Eamon would jump in and say something.
Lovely Podcast! Community oh man what a great topic... I could talk hours on end on this. But maybe I just pick one aspect out of it in my review. I now watched just a few Reroot Podcasts here (sorry for being a little late to the party)... but it is so inspirational to see that all the guests you have at the podcast I feel I know a tiny bit already. The pandemic period was the time, which opened up the "TH-cam-Universe" to me and it was these videos of the Vanlife TH-camrs (I used to refer to back then), which caught my interest and I was and still am following you. After a while watching all of your different channels I got curious, if you all know each other and how cool that would be. Then a little further down / deeper into watching your content... there were references between you (Eamon and Bec, Raya and Louis, Trent and Ally, Craig and Aimee, Kara and Nate, Jordan and Kaylee, Max and Lee, Theo and Bee, Brittany and Drew...)... So there it is... a Community! This community is very authentic, so real and unique in the way that it is not restricted to a certain region/town or area... it is a Community which exists across continents, cultures, confessions, believes etc. - And although it is debatable and probably very one-sided, but I always feel I am more than just an "observer" or part of a quiet "audience" watching all of you. This aspect makes me feel connected and makes me look positive every time I tune in... as it is proof and shows, we (as humans and societies) are able to live in better ways together and the world is not just one big mess. I thank you all for allowing me taking part (by watching and from time to time commenting) on your amazing journeys!
You can truly tell they’ve found their soulmates! The way Louis looks at Raya when she talks about her body, their child- you can even see Eamon and Bec mirroring one another without even realizing it- it’s beautiful to watch. 🫶🏻
I have to say, I have been a loyal viewer for years. This podcast was the best one thus far! I can't wait to really hear your journey of spirituality and meditation. I'm 57 and my husband is 69. We have been on a spiritual path but just started breath work. Thanks!
Yet ANOTHER amazing pod. Love Love Love!!!
Loved this. Watch both channels. But I have to say, Bec, you rock that Maroon jumpsuit on your commercials. Wow, that is your color! ❤❤❤
Amazing episode that truly helped me on my own current journey. Thank you ❤
(ps: for deep conversation games check We’re not really strangers too, big in vanlife community now!)
Love the sentiment and idea to embrace community and appreciate nature and animals (and that includes not eating them!). I think we’re all feeling that so much after Covid lockdowns.
Best episode so far :) loved it
The most sincere and genuine couples on TH-cam, thank y’all for sharing so much! All the love from houston tx❤
Ive never seen their videos, i know about them and what a great video! Def need to check out their channels ❤ i think this was one of my faves but honestly i say that every time 🤣❤️ yall always give us great episodes 💓
THIS! This is my therapy. This is so authentic! Real! Alive and satisfying. I could listen to the four of you talking every week. I got so much out of this podcast and all of it sits within my heart. A thousand thank you’s 🙏.
(Ps. Raya and Bec, a side podcast with you two, regularly, would be the ultimate to me!)
Such a brilliant idea to do these podcasts! It makes it all feel much more „real“ . Keep it up and thank you guys ❤
