017: Goodbye Corporate America, Oh Hi Business Ownership! Dec 05, 2018

Show notes

I'm not a small business owner, or a designer, or an artist….but I do love stories about people who leave corporate America and pursue their dream of creating a small business. That is exactly what Tony and Madisyn did. They moved across the country to New Orleans, Louisiana, left cushy corporate jobs, and started their paper company and design studio, Oh Hi Co. Whether you dream of leaving your desk job to pursue a passion project, are an artist needing motivation to turn your skills into a business, or are just in need of a little lighthearted motivation, you'll love this conversation with Tony and Madisyn. In the spirit of supporting small businesses, I have partnered with Kora Fitness, an athletic apparel company that donates to charity each time you make a purchase. I spend so much time in athletic clothes, so I partnered with Kora to bring Roadmap to the Real World listeners a special discount. Use the code 'kimiya15' at checkout to save 15% off your entire order. Their women's clothes are so cute and made of the most incredible material.

016: Let's Talk About Sex Baby! Nov 28, 2018

Show notes

On the Roadmap to the Real World Podcast I love digging into topics that we all face in our lives, but are never really taught to navigate. If I were to think of a topic that falls perfectly into that definition, it's sex! Sex is something we all deal with in our relationships, a topic that has been highlighted in the media through the #MeToo movement, an awkward conversation we have to have with our kids, a major component of our personal health, and the cornerstone of our emotional and physiological needs as humans. So why don't we talk about it more? Why are we too often taught to repress it rather than explore and express it in a healthy and responsible way? I'm here to break that mold, take the taboo topics, the uncomfortable topics, but the topics that deserve a moment in the spotlight, and dig deep into them without holding back. In this episode I am talking to sex therapist from Revive Therapy, Meryl Cohen. Meryl has a mile long resume including working as a sex educator and counseling couples and individuals for over 30 years. We hold nothing back as we unpack topics like porn, infidelity, orgasm, foreplay, love languages, overcoming sexual trauma, and managing an imbalance of sexual desires in a relationship. I ask questions submitted by our Roadmappers community and Meryl holds nothing back in her answers. I hope this episode teaches you something, de-mystifies sex education, makes you feel like you're not alone, and maybe even sparks a conversation between you and your partner. If you enjoyed this episode, I would love if you shared it with your partner, your friends, maybe a parent you know with a child going through puberty who may need some guidance or resources on how to navigate that ever dreaded birds and bees conversation.

You can find the full show notes as well as links to all the products Meryl mentioned on the podcast website. Also, don't forget to follow along on Instagram so you never miss a blog post or podcast episode!

015: Thanksgiving Special Edition! Nov 21, 2018

In this episode I cover topics including how to cultivate gratitude into your everyday and adopting the practice of mindful meditation. I tell a story of a mission trip gone horribly wrong and how it helped me grow to have a deeper appreciation for things I took for granted. This episode is so close to my heart as I dive deep into lessons and practices that have shaped the person I am today and that I hope will deepen and strengthen the relationship you have with yourself and your "river" to manifest a fulfilling life.

I hope you enjoy this episode, if you do, share it with a loved one who you are thankful for this season.
