Cali O'Connor is a recovering corporate hustler.  She didn’t realize it, but she was addicted to hard work and the praise that came along with it. The praise fueled the self-induced stress spiral which ultimately led to a breaking point. Until this point she was distracted by her achievements within the company, but a day didn’t go by without wishing she was somewhere else. She couldn’t see herself continuing on this trajectory, she couldn’t see a position in this company where she’d be happy (despite 4 promotions in 3 years), she needed A BREAK.  So she left and pursued the ONLY thing she cared about. World travel. For 2.5 years.   For the first time in her life she felt like she was doing what she was supposed to be doing. She will never forget the feeling that overcame her from her window seat on her flight to Nairobi...  So she started The Travel Shifters to help others do the same, to leave the corporate world, or at least their desks behind, and take the road less traveled, a life of adventure and loving what you do!  We're talking to her about starting her company, her world travels, and living in Mexico.

As three women sat on a roof, having lunch and sharing their first period stories, they realized something. That each of their stories were unique, yet totally relatable. They wanted to hear more. All 3.7 billion of them.

Firstperiodstories.com is a place where they share their unique stories, whether they be funny, cringe-worthy, or just plain awkward.

It’s a place for those experiencing their first period where they can go and not feel so alone. Because we all know you can be armed with tampons and pads, and still not be ready for your period.

This is a place for us to laugh, because how else are we supposed to deal with the once-a-month war in our uterus?

But mostly, they’ve created a community that supports each other, no matter what bloody mess we’re in. Because we’re all going through this together.  We’re so excited to have the girls from First Period Stories on the Podcast today to discuss their amazing blog and Newsletter!

Fizah Nadeem is not only a fashion icon, she is incredibly smart as an MBA candidate, and also an electrical engineer. We are talking to her about her life as an influencer, integrating her Pakistani heritage into fashion and womanhood.
