Beth Silvers is a podcaster who co-hostsPantsuit Politics and The Nuanced Life, a life coach, lawyer, wife and mom. She is passionate about people and curious about their stories and what makes them tick. I have often said that Pantsuit Politics is the most intelligent and respectful conversation on politics that I have heard in a long time and I appreciate so much the voice of moderation that both she and her co-host bring to the show.

Beth and I talk about life choices, podcasting, moderate politics, women's voices and stories, being introverts, white privilege (I mention this episode of The Daily), the danger of othering (we share a love of Brene Brown and particularly her book Braving the Wilderness) and the myth of balance and how she is aiming for her life to have more cohesion than balance.

We also talk about lighter things such as organizing spice racks, Survivor,  and my embarrassing confession of mind candy.

One of the things that Beth no longer does is work full time outside the home. She left her corporate job several months ago to have more time to pursue her true passions which are lived out through podcasting and coaching.

You can find Beth by listening to Pantsuit Politics or The Nuanced Life (both can be found in any podcast player). She is also online at: Instagram: @pantsuitpolitics @thenuancedlife Facebook: @pantsuitpolitics @thenuancedlife Twitter: @nkybeth  @pantsuitpolitic (no s) @thenuancedlife

When I asked Jacqueline about her advice for other women wanting to start a fashion brand she went OFF with good advice! As promised, here it all is:

• Put in the work
• Do your research
• It's not a sprint, it's a marathon
• Surround yourself with people who support you
• Be ready for challenges
• Be ready for failures
• Get back up after falling
• Welcome feedback and criticism
• Believe in yourself

Some of the things Jacqueline does NOT do includes cooking at home! Like Tiffany Bluhm from Episode 20, she has a husband who loves to cook! Side note - it was Tiffany that introduced me to Jacqueline!

Kelly is very intentional about building a business that prioritizes family, not only her own, but also for her employees.

Ever wonder how I manage to listen to so many podcasts? Here are my three best tips. First, listen to them on 1.5 or 2x speed. Second, use an app like Overcast which helps you to adjust the speed the episodes play at and to make great playlists. Third, get a one ear bluetooth earbud so you can listen while still hearing what is going on around you.

Some of the resources Samantha recommends include www.perinatalsupport.org who have a "warm line" where you can contact them and get a call back within 24 hours with someone who will listen and help you find resources in your community. She also recommends www.postpartum.net. If you are in the Bellingham, WA area there is also a weekly support group available as well as Michelle Anderson from Mobile Mama Therapy who is actually the counselor that I saw and who helped me so much.

If you love podcasts, I would highly recommend getting one of these blue tooth earbuds. They are small, discrete, and allow you to easily listen to podcasts while getting stuff done around the house or out running errands.

Barb Demorest is a wife, mom, grandma, breast cancer survivor and founder of Knitted Knockers. In 2011 she was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a mastectomy. After surgery she wanted to return to normal life as soon as possible and was very discouraged that there were no good options for breast prosthesis. From her doctor she learned about a knitted prosthesis which a friend made for her. From the moment she put it on, she knew she had a new mission in life - to provide knitted knockers for women who needed them.

Barb was eager to point out that one of the ways she succeeds and handles as much as she does is through the help and support of her friends. She has a group of ladies she meets with every other week who have been huge supports.

Rachel Walla is an engineer with a passion for traveling and living in freedom. She did several shorter trips to Europe before saving up and spending 8 months backpacking around the world. She returned to the corporate world, but found that it was not her dream anymore. So she started to build up her websites A Map to Anywhere and Health and Safety Plans and several months ago made the leap to digital nomad.

We talk about how she earns a living on the road, what dating is like around the world (apparently Tinder is international!), her desire for roots at home  and wanderlust (I recommended she read At Home in the World by Tsh Oxenreider), and why travel is not as expensive as people think.

We also talk a bit about her beauty routine on the road (thank you bright red lipstick) and her gear. She uses a Tortuga backpack (I used an Osprey on our last trip), Sony A5100 camera, laptop, global converter and a messenger bag for day use (I used one very similar to this bag on our trip).  You can read more about Rachel's gear here.

Some of the things she does NOT do include watching a lot of TV and keeping a lot of stuff. Like many people she read Marie Kondo's  Life-changing magic of tidying up and got rid of a bunch of stuff.

You can find Rachel on Instagram @amaptoanywhere or Twitter @amaptoanywhere, or online at A Map to Anywhere, or Health and Safety Plans.
