Author: Sara F. Hathaway April 14, 2026 Duration: 1:08:24

Spring renewal meets real preparedness on this week's Changing Earth Podcast. Sara shares updates from the homestead — a peach tree completing its cycle while new shoots emerge, chickens laying like crazy, and fresh raised beds going in to battle Texas weather. Then we sit down with Sara's Krav Maga instructor, 3rd Degree Black Belt Asher Lester, for a powerful conversation on nervous system regulation, breathwork, and practical self-defense. Find Coach Asher at NervousApes.com.

Learn why breath control can be more valuable than another piece of gear when adrenaline hits, how to de-escalate or act decisively in the first critical seconds, and simple daily practices that turn reactivity into resilience. Asher also shares challenge-round insights perfect for Changing Earth scenarios and everyday survival.

Plus — big announcement: Sara and Chin will both be at Prepper Camp 2026, August 14–16 at the Tryon International Equestrian Center. Get tickets and book lodging now at preppercamp.com!
