There is no ‘one way’ to craft that meaningful, joyful, sweet AF life - regardless of what every sales page out there promises. We’re all just making it up as we go, following our own unique lil’ path of breadcrumbs. So join me and my guests while we laugh, swear and riff on what's really working in our quest to build the good life - from neuroscience to woo woo and everything in between - and get real practical on what you could try on for size. Together, we’re chasing breadcrumbs.

    Football for Swifties (AKA It's More Than Just A Game)

    Any chance you've also accidentally become a football fan the last few months?? I brought my resident sports expert, Ian Starkman, on to talk about the brilliance of football, how it creates community and belonging, and why it's awesome that Taylor's in the mix. Even if football, or Taylor Swift, isn't your bag, you might still dig this conversation. We jump into why having interests is so important to life, why it's more than 'just a game' and the beauty of storytelling through sports. And do yourself a favour and check out Ian's podcast episodes here: Juuust A Bit Outside Podcast Big thanks to Ian Starkman for such a fun, interesting and really meaningful overview of all things football!

Ashlee has developed the skill of understanding people, having great insight into what they aren’t saying and where they are struggling to help them make shifts towards better harmony. After her own personal growth journey, Ashlee has taken her passion for creating time freedom, self leadership and, her experience curating the life she wants to help others who are struggling with a lack of clarity, time, boundaries, burnout and blocks become more empowered, less stuck and finally in control of their lives.

She walks us through her story, riffing on: What really made her family leave the states (and He Who Shall Not Be Named was merely the symptom) How settling in a new country has changed her What it was like getting told "No"... and what gave her the persistence to keep trying What she thinks of her new adopted country... spoiler alert it's not Canada but has as much snow ;) How you can figure out what your big dreamy dream is... even if it's not clear yet! How she now helps other teachers make these big leaps from the classroom to their juiciest of juicy next career move Jill Wiley has followed breadcrumbs across the world, from Indiana to Norway. After 19 years as a teacher, plus experience as a business founder, stay-at-home-mom, and real estate agent/investor, she moved with her partner and 3 kids to Stavanger, Norway. The move took over 2 years of planning, saving, and paperwork, but after 3 years in Norway, they are loving life by the fjord.

    Turns out the 7 year itch isn't where it happens... Linda Hershman joins me to talk about Gray Divorce, or divorce over 50. This was a fascinating topic that really hit home for me given how many friends and family members have been impacted by later in life divorces. Linda gives us her soulful and research backed views on: What is gray divorce... and why is it on the rise? Why adult children are impacted How adult children of divorce can navigate this new family dynamic What she has learned as a family therapist over her years working with families Linda Hershman is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and approved supervisor with the American Association of Marriage and Family Therapists. Her book, "Gray Divorce: Everything You Need to Know About Later-Life Breakups," is the first comprehensive, culturally-informed treatment of the topic. Linda presents at professional conferences nationally and internationally on gray divorce, adult children of divorce, and related topics. On a personal note, Linda loves to travel and possesses mad knitting skills. She lives with her husband of 27 years in Suburban Philadelphia.
