Adele speaks candidly about medical freedom, raising strong kids through real conversations, natural healing, and the power of questioning everything—even if it makes people uncomfortable. If you’ve ever felt like the world is upside down and wondered, What can I do about it?—this conversation is your answer.

Key Takeaways:
- Question the narrative—boldly and respectfully. Don’t silence your intuition for the sake of comfort. Ask yourself: Where am I staying silent just to avoid conflict—and is that costing me something important?
- Build emotional resilience at home. Engage your kids in meaningful conversations, especially when they ask “why.” It’s not disrespect—it’s curiosity. Task: This week, commit to explaining one rule or expectation to your child instead of defaulting to “because I said so.”
- Audit your health habits and environment. Adele’s journey into detoxing and healing began with simple, persistent changes. Assignment: Start each morning for two days with 24 oz. of fresh celery juice to reset digestion and reduce brain fog.
- Stay rooted in your values, even when it’s uncomfortable. Adele reminds us that grace and grit are not opposites. Ask: Where am I compromising what I believe in to please others?
- Use tech—but don’t let it raise your kids. Be intentional with screen time and tech exposure. Task: Review your family’s tech habits and set one boundary this week that prioritizes connection or creativity over consumption.

Adele Basarich shares a powerful message: you don’t need permission to stand up for what you believe in. Whether it's in your home, your health, or your community, your voice matters.
Take what resonated from this conversation and apply it—have the hard conversations, question the status quo, and stay grounded in your values. Because as Adele says, evil doesn’t stop—so we can’t either.
