WTF Are We Doing? Adulting On Your Own Terms

In this episode we interview our new travel friend, Rachel, who is a nurse back in Liverpool, England. Rachel tells us how, just by asking, she has set up a system for herself where she is able to work for three months, travel for three months and still return to her same job and hospital upon her return from her travels. Rachel proves that you don't always have to have an unconventional job to have an unconventional life, and that if you want something bad enough, you can make it happen. 

Spiritual entrepreneur, life coach, storyteller and inspirer of thousands of women across the globe, Stef Ventura takes us on a journey through her traumatic childhood growing up in the United States as an undocumented immigrant where she shares her story of deportation, depression and abuse and how, despite her many hardships, after a life-changing meeting with a friend, turned her life around to create a fulfilled, passionate life of her dreams.
