HOW... Does an IVF Journey Look?
Worth Wandering: Earth's Quandaries Examined
06/16/22 • 56 min
Brody bravely opens up about his and Holly's journey with infertility and what led them to IVF (In Vitro Fertilization). He talks about what IVF is, the costs, the hormones, the side effects, the mental load of such a journey and what he did and did not expect from this all-consuming time of life.
While many routes of IVF exist, we focus on the IVF journey of those who have unexplained infertility: "When infertile couples or individuals have undergone all appropriate tests and no cause for their infertility is found". So while some couples may not have viable sperm or eggs to contribute to IVF, this episode discusses the journey a couple may experience if you do have those two components to contribute but still struggle to conceive.
So many couples lives are upended by infertility. It is invasive and emotional and all-consuming of your time, energy and physical and emotional health. So take a listen and see what Brody has to say about staying hopeful through a decade of trying to conceive and how to keep your relationship strong as well.
To those trying to conceive...baby dust! We hope you get your rainbow baby!

WHEN? 1692-1693: The Salem Witch Trials
Worth Wandering: Earth's Quandaries Examined
05/11/22 • 61 min
Brody and Sarah deep dive into the infamous Witch Trials that occurred in Salem, Massachusetts from 1692-1693. This small Puritan town became the site of one of America's first "mass hysteria" events called "Salem Panic," in which 150 people were jailed, and 20 people (mostly women), were hung on suspicion of dancing with the devil.
But what was the evidence of witchcraft that started this hysteria? The answers will surprise you! As will what current scientific theories exist about why women became "touched by the devil" AND some of the methods employed in the legal proceedings when the accused were subjected to "witch tests"! It's one for the history books!

EP 7: Who Are You and What Do You Want?!? Self Identity:Part 2
Worth Wandering: Earth's Quandaries Examined
02/04/21 • 34 min
Sarah an d Brody finish talking about self identity and get personal about their own struggles. Sarah blows Brody's mind when asking him to review a photo from his Instagram account, and also offers some fun and deep games and resources to help you figure out who you are or what you want in life!
Below are the resources and games discussed in the episode:
Personality Quiz: https://www.16personalities.com/free-personality-test
Proust Questionnaire to find out your "true Nature or Identity": https://janelfline.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Reference-Proust-Questionaire-r.pdf
Identity Games:
1. Create a bucket list.
Having a bucket list will help you identify your personal and professional goals. When the daily routines of your life begin to set in, you are likely to let the days pass by without thinking too much about your long-term goals and desires.
Use a bucket list to keep yourself focused, and make an effort every day to accomplish at least one small task that will lead you towards crossing things off of your bucket list.
2. Write a regret letter. (Or just a letter to your younger self)
Write a letter to your younger self. This is a surprisingly cathartic exercise that is more than simply listing what you wish you’d known. Tell your younger self about the regrets you’ve had in your life so far, and apologize for any mistakes that you may have made and opportunities that you let pass by.
Aside from gaining a feeling of empowerment from accepting your vulnerable younger self, your words can also help others who are in similar situations as you faced in the past. Your newfound wisdom can let readers know that they are not alone in their struggles, and provide them with advice on how to move forward.
3. FUNERAL TEST
Write your own eulogy and answer questions such as:
- How do I want people to speak of me at my funeral?
- What should they remember me for?
- Which kind of person will people think I was when I’m gone?
*This exercise was made popular by Stephen Covey in his book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
4. Instagram Activity
Pick a photo from your instagram feed that is one of your favorites.
What is it of? Why did you want to share it? What did you hope people would like about it? Get out of it? Did people respond the way you'd like/expect?
