    Ep 237: How volunteering changed the way we think about work

    In a year full of work drama and career pivots, our most eye-opening lessons came from the places no one talks about on LinkedIn. Somewhere between the PTA meetings, school drop-offs, HOA group texts, and community events, we kept bumping into reminders that real work doesn’t always pay. And that’s kind of the point. This week, we’re unpacking what happened when we leaned all the way into volunteering and brought our professional skills to the party. Because chances are, you’re more needed than you think and more capable than you’ve been led to believe. We explore: How we went from “someone else will do it” to “we got it”Why so many systems rely on what we call assumed initiativeThe unexpected rewards of taking on community roles Why your first real leadership lessons usually start locallyHow these roles can transform your network and your confidenceWhy being present isn’t the same as being accountableHow to know when just showing up isn’t enough anymore Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

    Ep 236: What a late ADHD diagnosis taught me about money and myself

    Kiersten here. It’s just me this week. It’s been two years since my ADHD diagnosis, and in that time I’ve learned a lot. In this episode, I’m sitting down solo to unpack what this label actually changed, what it didn’t, and what I’ve had to unlearn about focus, money, and identity along the way. I’m revisiting the journey to speak directly to anyone navigating their own diagnosis (or the suspicion of one), especially while trying to manage money, relationships, and modern life. If you ever wondered why your brain makes you avoid bills one day and build a budget for fun the next, this one’s for you. I discuss: Grieving the gap between naming a problem and solving itWhen hyperfocus turns into self-surveillanceWhy most ADHD systems feel like punishment (and what to do instead)Habit stacking, automation, and why I stopped chasing streaksHow a $3 snack usually does more for my brain than a $300 plannerHormones, sleep & the “why did my meds stop working” problemWhat movement really does for dopamine (and my money habits)Why dopamine placement determines my financial outcomes more than budgetingThe octopus metaphor that finally made my brain make senseLinks:  Episode 172: A real conversation about ADHD, money, and relationships (or watch it instead)Episode 184: How to automate your savings and finally get ahead (or watch it instead) My Octopus Teacher trailerSecrets of the Octopus  Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.

    We’re 30+ days into a government shutdown, SNAP benefits are disappearing, layoffs are ongoing, and a catastrophic storm just hit Jamaica. But beyond the headlines, people are privately struggling with job loss, evictions, food insecurity, and the mental toll of trying to “stay positive” when everything feels urgent.

Whether you're giving help or in need of it, this episode will shift how you think about support, community, and what's really essential. And if you’re someone who feels like you're holding it all together with duct tape and prayer, this one's for you.
