Christine Reed recently underwent a procedure to have her tubes removed - a deliberate, permanent sterilization ensuring she would never have kids of her own. This week we talk about her thought process behind the decision and what factored into her choice - from her physical and mental health to her partner and their vision of their future to the current and future state of the world.

There is no one right answer for everyone. Your health and your family planning should be in your own hands.

Nate & Ali practiced living together in a small space before they hit the road in Reseda, their 1980's G20 Class B van. They lived in a 10x10 apartment south of LA in order to save money for their new adventure. In the months they've been on the road, the couple has found freedom and adventure while touring new states and selling their found & reclaimed jewelry online and at local markets. Listen to this week's show to hear how they made their dream a reality and what it's like working and living in close proximity to your partner.

Heather discovered somewhat by accident that living a non-traditional life suited her. Traveling to new countries, living in a van, and being her own boss have helped her manage her depression and anxiety in ways she never guessed possible. This week, Holly & Heather chat about travel and mental health and bouncing forward after life's curveballs.

This week we've got BIG NEWS for you guys - this is Beers' LAST EPISODE AS CO-HOST! So we're taking this opportunity to talk about how to approach endings intentionally. We touch on mutually agreed-upon endings, one-sided endings, and personal, solo endings. Both hosts share some personal experiences with work or dating or friendships and Holly gives some of her top questions to ask herself when it feels like something she's engaged in might need to be wrapped up.

This is the short version of the episode, if you want to listen to the full conversation with more personal stories and details, head on over to our Patreon Page and become a member!

Sam Tarell didn't have a conventional childhood. He was raised to pursue his curiosities and to be his own person - even if that meant he embraced being a bit of an outcast. His first business, Hoop Brothers, came about because his own college basketball aspirations were cut short and he didn't want the same to happen for his younger brother. After that business was successfully built, he set his sights on bigger things - DivergentU. A school to foster divergent thinking and the melding of creativity & entrepreneurship.

Listen to this week's episode to learn more about success, values, productivity & happiness from Sam's perspective.

Johnny Nocash has what you'd call a Good Life in Toronto. He was a successful musician, had a great job that afforded him the ability to live in this expensive city, a strong network of friends and connections - but he wasn't happy.

So he moved into a van and hit the road. From that first foray away from the concrete jungle, he found more meaning and freedom than ever before.
