In this episode we talk about: 

  • Feeling rejected growing up. And like she didn’t have an identity outside of being her brother’s little sister. 

  • Growing up in a wealthy upscale community  and just wanting to escape the suburb she gre up on where it felt everyone was trying to be the same person. 

  • Not thinking past getting out of her town after high school.

  • Changing majors nearly every semester and loving reinventing herself each year in college. 

  • What led her to starting a website called twittershouldhireme.com that went viral in her early 20’s.

  • How that led to her becoming an on demand website designer with no experience.

  • How she expects magic in her life and an amazing story about owning her worth in how much she charged for her design work.

  • Traveling the world working from her computer and living it up until the “shoulds” started showing up as she neared 30. 

  • Feeling like she was behind and needed to get her shit together. 

  • How we often don’t think to interrogate societal ideals and play I’ll be happy when…game.

  • Grew up thinking being content was boring and now writing a book about being Radically Content.  

  • How marketing things as “live your best life dream life messes with us.”

  • Paying more attention to how your life feels rather than looks.

  • And so much more!
