We can do good in small, simple ways, right where we are. And those small, simple things can be a force for major global change. In this conversation, Tsh talks with Chris Marlow, founder of Help One Now and author of the book, Doing Good is Simple. They talk about his experience starting a nonprofit organization, why he cares about people not feeling overwhelmed at the thought of doing good, and a certain '90s band Tsh loved in college. Yep.

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.

In this episode, Tsh talks with Alysa Bajenaru, who takes her two kids on the road along with her husband, a coach for a minor league farm team for the Arizona Diamondbacks. She shares the ins and outs of nomadic living, and what she's learned from carrying only what she needs for spring training, away games, and more.

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. If you're tired of hamster-wheeling through your day in search of perfection, you'll probably like this chat. Plus, Tsh hints at some fun changes headed to the podcast!

Tsh continues her chat with Stephanie Langford on extended travel with kids (head to episode 34 for part 1; 35 for part 2). They've both traveled around the world with their families, and love seeing likeminded families getting out the front door. 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!

They get into the wonderful stuff, too, and what they did to make those hard things easier. And in the end, they share their favorite countries they visited. Head here for the show notes.
