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. I loved talking with Ann-Marie, located in Jamaica (and listening to her accent) as she described her life growing up, her health challenges, getting past wanting more love from her parents and getting past disappointment to live her true life. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message

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

Latoya and I talk real issues - body issues, infertility, being a mom, diets, weight loss, growing up in the hood. ​I'm an eighties kid who takes herself seriously while NOT taking herself seriously sometimes. I can be a walking contradiction. I love all around respect, be passionate about all things artistic and a full-fledged potty mouth. In a society where we are constantly being censored on so much, I like to find a safe space to let down my hair, be free and live life --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message

Laura is a friend and a kindred spirit. I'm thankful she candidly spoke about domestic violence, being raised in a strict religion and her triumph and successes in spite of her struggles! I'm not an advocate for divorce. I am an advocate for you - living your best life. And sometimes that includes divorce. I know only too well how difficult divorce can be - rather you made the decision or your partner has. The future feels uncertain and perhaps doubtful... --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message

A fantastic conversation with Aaron with LifeAID beverage about life, finding balance with family, success and failure! I loved how candid Aaron was about his life, family, finding balance (or lack thereof at times!), his business model and why he has almost zero staff turnover. We talked about how he met his wife, how much he absolutely loves her after 14 years and what he does to keep that spark alive. He discusses his morning routine (a must!) which I have since adopted with minor tweaks! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message

CAROLYN'S DRIVE TO HELP OTHERS HOLISTICALLY WITH THEIR HEALTH INSPIRED HER TO WRITE A BOOK - "SOAR INTO HEALTH" I've had some great conversations with Carolyn and I love how outspoken she is about difficulties in parenting, how people don't look at their health in a "full body" holistic manner and how difficult it is to change an unhealthy mindset. She's inspiring people one at a time to take a step back and take charge of their health. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/becoming-parents/message
