I never planned or expected to become a certified personal trainer in my life, but here I am today. An episode about why I decided to become certified, what the process was like, and things I've learned.

I took a hiatus from creating content in the latter half of 2021, but I feel ready to create again. What should you expect? Listen and find out.

It's been 2 weeks ~ so quick catch up to where I've been, how I've been doing, and this fear setting exercise that I wanted to share with y'all 2 weeks ago. I know that it'll be a lot more helpful for people who frequently lose sight of their goals and resolutions (that's me). I'm going to schedule another fear setting session with myself before 2021 is over. How about you?

"Honor your journey and honor the season you're in - you don't have to judge it, like it. Heck, you don't even have to love it. We honor it by being present for whatever is here, knowing that whatever is here, whether heavy or heavenly, is only here until it no longer is."

My next guest for Off the Rails is my friend Ivanna Slim! I am excited to share bits of our conversation because she is an eloquent speaker, a super thoughtful person, and has a very strong and grounded energy about her that I love to be around.

In this episode, we talk a little bit about our own personal finance journey and I ask her how she would teach young kids about money. Ivanna is a first-grade teacher.

I feel fully rested after a month of unemployment! A slower episode on how I've been feeling, and small random topics.

My family and I took a trip to Juneau, Alaska in June 2021 with the main purpose of visiting Glacier Bay National Park. I talk a bit about what we did while hanging out in Juneau, how different it is from my previous trips to Alaska, and some audio clips taken when I was there.

I wanted to say a lot more in this hodgepodge, but I got way too caught up in what I was saying. This time I talk about what plans I have for myself now that I am unemployed, and unreleased cut from my Off the Rails conversation with Deepa (episodes 17 and 20).

Will share other things on my Instagram story throughout this week!
