Origin Story: The Return to Self
Who are we and why did we start a podcast?
Like most of you, we each have a lot of labels. We’re women, we’re CPAs (but we’re not boring!), we’re mothers, we’re travelers, we’re friends. We’re two people striving to be our best selves and supporting each other through life’s ups and downs. Because we both believe that we’re meant to be in community with others as we process our experiences.
This is our kitchen table, our couch with a glass of wine, and you’re invited to pull up a seat.
Today, we’re sharing the origin story of our friendship and this podcast.
Listen to the full episode to hear:
- Our differing memories of our first meeting and how we supported each other in the early years of being business owners
- How our relationship shifted and then ebbed as we went in different directions in our work
- How six days in a car in Iceland radically deepened our friendship
- Why we want to let listeners in on our conversations about life, work, parenting, dating, aging, and more
