I think our feelings change about getting older as we get older. As a child I never wanted to grow up. Then as a teen I couldn't wait to be an adult.

Engagement and Divorce with Nancy Perpall

Nancy was a critical care nurse who transitioned all the way over to law, becoming an attorney. Despite her initial plan to be a malpractice and defense attorney, she ended up spending 34 years as a divorce attorney, taking apart marriages. She's here today to try and save people from the heart wrenching pain of going through an unnecessary divorce, even if that means avoiding getting married to the person you think you love in the first place.We discuss everything from the questions you need to ask before getting married, to prenuptial agreements, love addiction, and even into thing I'd never heard of like: pre-marital counseling and some crazy divorce technicalities.Heads up: I would not call this explicit because it's technical, but we do discuss sex a fair amount. Also I want to make a slightly selfish announcement. As of today I'm celebrating my 30th birthday. I'm not where I saw myself even a year ago, but I'm so glad that this show has been here through all of it. And my host, Podbean, has given me one of the greatest gifts I could ever get without even knowing. They've listed me as a featured podcast.

Chinese Five Elements with Dr. Vicki Matthews

Does the color of clothing you wear affect the arguments you have with your significant other? Can seasons help you to be on the same page as your best friends? Honestly, I'm not so sure. But my guest is an expert in Chinese Medicine which breaks personalities into five core energy types based on elements of nature. My guest today is Dr. Vicki Matthews. Vicki has been a Naturopathic Physician and Relationship Coach for over 20 years now. Her passion stems from wanting to help society become less conflicted: reducing lawsuits, divorces, and disagreements. After some psychological research, she found that people tend to fall in line with the elements of the Five Elements Model from Chinese Medicine.It can be pretty easy to get lost in some of the softer science of this topic and its impact on your relationships. But if you enjoy Meyers-Briggs, Astrology, or any of the other alternative practices out there: you're probably going to love this one.And listen, if it's totally not your thing: that's okay too. The next episode is going to be a much more data driven episode on relationships and the reasons they fail, so come back around for that just in time for engagement season!

Emergency Management with Christine Van Horn

Emergency Management. It sounds like it belongs alongside Emergency Medicine or Emergency Responder, but in truth it leans much more on the management part of it's name. Plus, in this episode you can find your path to becoming one of only a couple thousand in the world. My guest today is Christine Van Horn. Christine is a Certified Emergency Manager (CEM) and has been for 30 years. It's a career that has allowed her to work in all levels of government and with various agencies on a wide array of events.

Adopting a Rescue with Scott Ski

I'm hard pressed to think of a family I know who has never had a pet. It's very rare, at least here in the US. My guest today is Scott Ski. Scott operated an animal rescue for 20 years! In that time he saved hundreds and hundreds of dogs and cats from death in shelters. At one point he even had 16 dogs in his backyard and 6 more cats in the house!The whole interview breaks down to this: Adopting an animal and bringing them into your home and life is just like gaining a new member of the family. They might have more legs, and more fur or feathers, but 95% of pet owners agree in saying their pets are members of their families.By the way, try not to cry at the end of the interview. If you can avoid tears, you'll have done better than both me and my guest.

Child Life Coaching with Renaye Thornborrow

Let me pitch an idea here everybody. What if we put all children through personal development classes and allowed the future generations of kids be more aware and confident? Would that be disastrous? Or would it help to avoid some of the unfortunate stories we hear from our friends after they have grown up and discovered deep seated issues? My guest today is Renaye Thornborrow. Renaye is CEO of the company Adventures in Wisdom. For the past 10 years she has worked toward the goal of bringing life coaching and personal development to kids!It might sound intense, but the storytelling method of delivering lessons is older than written history. So why can't we sprinkle it into the current curriculum?Please take a brief moment to rate the show five stars on iTunes, Spotify, or Audible. You too can do your part to help this show grow by telling other people that you enjoy the podcast.I'm always looking for new topics, guest ideas, and questions from the audience.
