In this conversation, Tsh talks with Chris Marlow, founder of Help One Now and author of the book, Doing Good is Simple.

Sometimes, loving something isn't enough—if it's just not giving you the life you want, it's time to part ways amicably. Kendra Adachi is a great example of calling it quits in the best of ways, and in this episode, we talk about why she quit her baking business she loved. She doesn't regret it for a second. We also talk pop culture, since that's one of her greatest loves, and she recommends a show I promptlly devoured.

Fake breaks (that totally aren't breaks), putting up chairs, when brave looks boring, and being the boss of ourselves: these are the conversation topics Tsh has in this episode with Shauna Niequist, author of New York Times bestseller Present Over Perfect.

In this episode, they about education—worldschooling the kids and taking school on the road. They talk about what they did with their kids—what worked, what didn’t, their constant nagging concern we weren’t doing enough, and the surprising results in the end. Head here for the show notes!
