So Why Not

I've admired Hayley's work through her Instagram account over the last few years so this was a big treat to get to learn more about the artist behind her beautiful lettering projects. Hayley is such a professional with amazing perspective on putting yourself out there to get what you want. Whether you consider yourself to be artistic or not, there's something for everyone in this episode.

Be sure to check out her work. She's so talented!

Roddy breaks the mold of stereotypical truck drivers. You will be hard pressed to find someone as passionate and excited about their career as he is.

He has traveled some winding roads (pun intended) to land him where he is today and he has a great story to tell. He also gives some insight into what is involved with driving a semi truck and helpful information for other drivers.

Buckle up! This is another great episode!

In this episode I talk with Kara and Karlee of House of Turnberry about taking the idea of their business from just a thought all the way through to execution. They are a good time!

I learned a lot about how they work so well together, why they love what they're doing, and even tips for being authentic on social media.

Have you ever considered why you participate in the same traditions over and over? Are you just going through the motions or are you being intentional with how you spend your time?

In this episode we talk about what traditions mean, how we can choose the best ones for the stage of life we're in, and making the most of the time we have together.

I invite you to contemplate your own traditions and what value they bring to your life during this episode.

This episode is all about my husband, Julio. I don't think that at 18 I could have packed up my belongings to move somewhere that I didn't know anyone and couldn't communicate. But I'm glad he did!

Find out what it took to get him to move to the US, how we met, and how he couldn't have predicted how his life would look today.

This is a great interview with my friend, Rachel Kiser Smith. It's jam packed with ideas to motivate you to find what works for you in many aspects of your life. You're going to love her story, her insights, and her pointers for getting started.

Some parents describe having a child as losing themselves. Others may come to find their sense of self. Regardless, it's a big change with new and different priorities.

Two big points before listening: (1) you don't have to be a parent to find helpful ideas from this episode and (2) I don't think that children prohibit pursuing your interests.
