Welcome to Before Someday; the podcast for people who feel there’s more, but keep telling themselves “one day”. Here, we talk to people who stopped waiting and started moving. People who chose the van, the boat, the island — or simply a life they designed themselves. People who started their own business, followed a passion, or created freedom on their own terms. No hype. No perfect plans. Just real choices, real lives, and the courage to start now. Because life doesn’t happen someday. This is Before Someday: Stop waiting. Start living. Hosted on Acast.

    Before Someday episode 17: with Annemieke Umberg

    What happens when the life you planned no longer feels like the life you want?Annemieke Umberg grew up with a pretty traditional idea of success. Choose a good career, work hard, earn enough money and plan for the future. Her life ended up looking very different. Annemieke went from modelling in Los Angeles and working in the medical industry to quitting her job and sailing across oceans. Later, becoming a mother made her question things all over again. Did they really need the bigger house? Did she still want the career she had worked for? And what would she be willing to give up to spend more time with her children and pursue work she actually cared about?

About this episodeSarah talks with Annemieke about the less glamorous side of modelling, the first sailing trip that showed her there were other ways to live, and what changed when she became a mother. Annemieke talks openly about realizing she was still chasing things she had wanted before having children, including the bigger house and the dual income needed to pay for it. A second sailing trip with her family gave her the chance to get away from those routines and ask herself what she actually wanted. They also talk about visiting remote Palmerston Island, why Annemieke was willing to give up comfort to create more freedom, and the role wellness now plays in her life. For her, taking care of yourself isn't just about health or longevity. It's also about creating enough quiet to hear your own thoughts and make choices that feel like yours.

They talk about why you don’t need to have a passion figured out, the difference between loneliness and solitude, the pressure young people feel to choose the “right” future, and why an unconventional year can sometimes teach you more than following the obvious next step. And yes, there are gap years involving everything from macaws in Costa Rica to a student whose fascination with elevators took him all the way to China.

    Before Someday episode 13: with Designed to Explore

    What if the life you’re building isn’t the life you actually want? Eleanor and Dave were successful architects with demanding careers, a home, financial stability and a young family. From the outside, they had built exactly what they were supposed to build. But something didn't feel right. After years of planning, they finally chose a different path. A path built around family, adventure, freedom and time together. What started with a sabbatical and a year-long trip eventually became van life, bikepacking, boat life and a home in French Polynesia. Today, they travel the world with their children while building a business around the lifestyle they actually want to live. In this episode, we talk about: • Why a successful career wasn't worth missing out on family time • The five-year plan that helped them make the leap • Going from architects to van life, bikepacking and living on a sailboat • Why financial security can sometimes keep us stuck • Raising children while travelling the world • Why they believe perfect is the enemy of good • And what happens when you finally walk through the door you've been afraid to open If you've ever dreamed about doing something completely different with your life, this one is for you. 🎧 Listen now and ask yourself: What would you do if you stopped waiting for the perfect time?

    Before Someday episode 12: with Janet Tanguay

    What if the biggest risk in life isn’t failing… but never trying at all? Janet Tanguay built an international movement around one simple question: Why do so many people die with dreams they never pursue? Founder of Hammock Way of Life, entrepreneur, bestselling author and creator of a global vision board coaching community, Janet has spent years helping thousands of people turn “someday” into today. In this conversation we explore why people stay stuck, what separates dreamers from doers, and how tiny decisions can completely change the direction of your life. You’ll hear: • why 98% of people never fulfill their dreams • the surprising science behind vision boards and taking action • why language shapes your future more than you think • how gratitude, community and mindset influence success • the unexpected story behind her Times Square billboard • why she turned down a seven-figure opportunity to stay true to her mission Whether you believe in manifestation or not, this episode is ultimately about something much bigger: Living intentionally before life makes the decision for you. Because someday isn’t a day of the week. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

    Before Someday episode 11: with Laura Dekker

    At just fourteen years old, Laura Dekker became the youngest person ever to sail solo around the world. The record made headlines around the globe, but it only tells part of her story. In this episode of Before Someday, Laura reflects on the legal battle that nearly stopped her before she even left the dock, why that experience proved harder than the voyage itself, and how it shaped her view of trust, freedom and resilience. Today, Laura’s mission looks very different. Together with the Laura Dekker World Sailing Foundation, she helps young people build confidence through life-changing sailing expeditions. She also shares how becoming a mother has changed the way she thinks about adventure, responsibility and raising independent children. This is a conversation about far more than sailing. It’s about choosing your own path, growing through challenge, and finding purpose long after achieving what the world remembers you for. 🎙️ If you enjoy the episode, please consider following the podcast and leaving a review. It helps us share more extraordinary stories with people who are still waiting for their own “someday.” Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
