Get ready, friends, 'cause this episode is an absolute ride! I sit down with the incomparable Shanisty Ireland—TV reporter turned influencer, stunning mom of five who homeschools them (yes, you read that right), and a woman who knows how to keep it real with flair. We dive into what it's like raising a whole basketball team, making the leap from news desk to the influencer world, and how she does it all without losing her damn mind.

And wait until you meet her dad, Bud! We called him up mid-episode, and this legend served us his best (and slightly questionable) marriage advice, right on the spot! 

This episode is packed with laughs, wild stories, and some honest-to-goodness wisdom you didn’t know you needed. 

So hit play, beautiful badasses, and get ready for a convo as real as it gets!

I met Carla Morrow a few months ago via my friend, Caroline. 

Carla is the associate head coach for The Ohio State University women's bball team. When you first meet her, she has this quiet/intense presence, almost like she's sizing you up (she probably is let's be real.) Once the gates open and she decides to trust you, out comes a warm/kind/clever energy and you quickly feel like you've known her for a long time. I say all that to say she's COOL AS FUCK.

In this episode, we talk about her college career, coaching, her dad, being misunderstood, not caring what "they"think, her daughter, and a lot more.

Thank you, Carla! You're a real one.

I absolutely LOVE when a listener reaches out to me with a guest idea. It's such a great way to connect with incredible human beings like Tom Turcich. So, special shout out to my pals Danielle & Jake for thinking of the show when you found out that Tom would be in town on his book tour. I appreciate you both SO much! 

Speaking of Tom's book, it's an absolute MUST READ. He's the tenth person to walk the world, and his dog Savannah was the first canine to accomplish that impressive feat.

Tom is wise and observant beyond his years, and I walked away with so much from crossing his path.

Thank you Tom, and Keep Moving!
