Sober·ish Uprising

Today I sit down with Shelley Pernot, published author, certified coach and founder of Babes without Babes in Austin. Spending time with like-minded people with whom you don't have to justify your decision is huge when you are doing something different from the norm. You don’t realize you miss a community of people like you, for whatever it is for you want for your life, until you see it.  We...

Bryan was making  a great living in the energy industry, not totally fulfilled, but also not sure what else he would do with his life. He would drive by the campus of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and think "man if I could go back I would probably go the medical route".  It never felt like a possibility, just a fun idea.

Jessica was checking off the all the boxes for the American Dream.

Krista is a long-time friend of mine and a powerhouse of a woman. Her story read like a romance novel all the girls wanted to read.

Despite accomplishing all the things society told her she needed to, this wasn’t the life she wanted so she had the courage to flip the script. A self-proclaimed...

Welcome to 2020! Today's episode is a little different in that I am the lucky guest! I sat down with Bridgette, my amazing coach, to share my story of living an amazing childfree life.  I support and serve others to live their truth so it was important for me to share mine.   We talked about how despite my resume looking like a dream job list but it wasn't until I found coaching tha...

Raif and Connie are a married, childfree couple in London, who run the Goodlett Guide, a blog dedicated to their childfree relationship, travel and lifestyle. I was drawn to their honesty on their childfree life from joining the mile high club to Raif's decision to get a vasectomy at 25 so that he could take control of his childfree future.  Raif is the first male I have had on my podcast and...
