Today I sit down with The Walsh's! Growing up, older brothers, moving around... a little serendipity? Meeting in high school, late nights at Denny's, car stuff? Embracing being boring, awkward/adorable proposal, planning a wedding, buying a house, building a life on their terms... a beautifully boring one!

Today I sit down at my computer to chat with the wonderful Maggie! Bouncing around as a kid, ending up in Oswego, country music, social butterfly, growing up religious... in a good way? Starting to rebel, partying through high school, art, graphic design, being part of a decent size group that migrated to Chicago, finding a job in pizza!? Becoming a badass woman in the trades with the plumbers union!

Chicago Women In Trades

Today I have a virtual conversation with my friend Sarah! She joins us from her place in the mountains of Washington, which while being beautiful is not great for internet chats! I did my best to edit this one (yes, I actually edited it) but there may be a few minor hiccups here and there, apologies! More importantly, Sarah! Deciding to leave school in 2nd grade, taking herself to Europe at 13, moving out the day she graduated!? Traveling the world teaching and learning yoga in a cult!? Living in Chicago vs living in Washington. Plus, creating a safe space for healing in nature!

Today I sit down and talk to my friend Jordan, who I met through the band (Absolutely Perfect) when he was a teenager. Growing up in Iowa, making friends anywhere he can, incorrectly thinking the members of AP are cool, sharing a passion for wrestling with myself and Jay, getting married, three kids, getting divorced, getting sober (July 21st was one year sober!!), learning to wrestle, bowling, girlfriend... ...juggling way too much, new lease on life through sobriety, looking forward to the future!

Today I virtually sit down with my friend Jordee, this is our first face to face conversation, we met through playing video games like ten years ago! Growing up in Vancouver, getting pulled out of school...just to be interjected in to a different school, leaving a job making tons of money to take a job making barely any...but being able to snow board daily! Learning a trade, meeting his wife, going to Japan to meet her family, starting a family, being made fun of by his daughter for not speaking Japanese correctly!
