I love Brian's attitude and energy even while talking about losing his Mom to cancer, being young (27) but being a best selling author, having his own business while working full time, speaking languages, traveling and training for a half marathon. Brian loves challenges, believes your "why" isn't always enough, your old stories don't have to define you, you should remain curious, feel what you need to feel and daily goals can help you achieve big goals! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message
Olivia and I have a candid conversation about growing up in a tough neighborhood, how important education is, having balance in relationships - especially when kids are in the mix and how you can't help everyone. I'm SO excited that Olivia is able to help people outside of where she's licensed. Her book is now available via her website. It's an amazing book of information and worksheets for any couple ready to take a pre-marriage class. Simply outstanding! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message

I was looking forward to this interview with two genuine, raw and lovely individuals. We talked about depression, suicide, bankruptcy, dysfunction in relationships and getting through that to create a beautiful, successful marriage. Brian and Carrie were so much fun to interview. They have so much information online but were willing to dig deeper with me about some tough subject matter. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message
Ann-Marie and I discuss growing up in poverty, abuse, depression, anxiety, finding yourself and your true desires.

Susie and I have a candid conversation about floods, marriage, infidelity, divorce, raising kids and starting a business Susie and I met at a 3-day women's conference in 2011 in Kingston, WA. It was an amazing time - all women runners who got to share goals, run, do yoga, dancing, SUP workouts and try new products. Susie was there with RecoFit Compression and, with my ignorance about her product, a great friendship was born. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message
