Listen to Episode 17: According To Plan

In this Episode:

Sometimes things in life don’t always go according to plan. Like, let’s say you spend two months planning a live version of your podcast with some celebrity guests, and it goes great, but there is a technical issue and it didn’t record. You know, like that. Well, sadly, the last live show will live on only in the memories of those who were there BUT we have pictures below of the event, and it inspired this episode.

Nature, Nurture: When she started a family with her husband, Micaela Walker wanted things to be as natural as possible. Nature had a different idea. Hear the incredible story about what she learned from her daughter, Lula.

Welcome To New York: Maria Carreon was brought to New York City by some unusual circumstances. Things didn’t go so well.

ALSO listener shout outs, a new drink recipe, and music from listener NazT N8!
