#RealTalk with Benjamin and Kirsten Tyrrel

Today we are exposing you to one of the most wonderful people in our lives. Vera- the alter ego of Kirsten- is someone you need to meet to really understand us as a couple. She's the fruit of some really hard seasons in our lives, and we are telling you her birth story on this episode. Warning: you might be insanely confused after this one. But we hope you'll be back for the next episode! :)

Today is basically a shaming episode of Kirsten's lack of educational comprehension. Not really (sort of) but we are getting a kick out of sharing with the world how old Kirsten was when she realized some very key things about geography. It's all too perfect- as we are homeschooling our kids and there are definitely some "yay for homeschool" moments where Ben's confidence is anything but high when he realizes the main teacher of his children isn't quite sure where the Sarah Desert is.

We have some very different ways of getting into the present moment. Ben likes floating, and Kirsten would rather die than lay in a tank of water with no sensory perception (aka death). But we do agree on the IMPORTANCE of being present in life- and lately Kirsten has been on a spiritual journey to really comprehend what that means. And as per the usual- Ben is along for the ride. Listen in for some tips on becoming present in your life!

We got pretty REAL today- I mean of course, sharing how hard it has been for us to be original and to do our own thing. Oftentimes we feel we have to fit our expertise or excellence into the proper box that others have defined... but what do you do if you just don't fit in any boxes?! You make your own dang box- and that's what we've been finally realizing over the past year- we do NOT fit in anyone else's box- which is actually a cool opportunity to create something phenomenal.

This episode is all about the "why" behind starting this random podcast. We share about the "aha" moment we had when we realized we were actually a LOT further ahead in business than we had originally believed! Listen in and share it with people who need some #realtalk in their lives!

Today is a rant episode. We might get some hate but we just don't know why so many parents are turning a blind eye to kids having cell phones and opening them up to the world we live in- far before they are ready to handle it! We are weird-and we're ok with it. No social media for our kids until they are grown. Judge us- we don't care. Agree? Cool- welcome to the club.

Today we're basically turning on an audio slide show and telling you about our big fat travel experience in Italy and the Mediterranean with the kiddos. We're sharing what we loved about our trip and the luxuries we would never trade that were worth the extra prices! Also the thing Kirsten missed that still has her all kinds of ticked.

This episode is random (aren't they all) and we're talking about how crazy entrepreneurship can be- why coaching and therapy are so needed and why we still are searching for permission in life. Tune in and enjoy this episode of #realtalk.

Welcome to the thing we have thought the very least about but is quickly becoming one of the favorite things we've ever done. We're a married couple who works together, raises our kids together (homeschooling no less) and trying to make sense of this crazy nonsensical life. Welcome to our #realtalk.
