Hello everyone! My name is Roi Perets, and I am in San Diego with my husband, Ron Thurston.We left New York City four months ago to live in an airstream, travel across the US to discover this beautiful country, and rediscover ourselves.It had been a while since I recorded a podcast- we crossed many states and cities since Glacier in Montana, and I needed time to think rather than speak.That changed when we met Mandy and Cliff Brown in Malibu, California. We were scheduled to be in the same campground in San Diego a couple of weeks later, and as we reconnected over dinner, I found thoughtful and articulate partners to chat with about our journey.Follow Ron and me on our journey across the US-@dropthecoconut and @retailpride on InstagramAnd the Brown family on their incredible journey:@routedownfam on InstagramAnd their website: routedownfam.comIf our conversations spark something within you, or you have a "Drop the Coconut" moment that you would like to share, I would love to hear from you!I hope you enjoy it and thank you for jumping on our coconut wagon today!Roi

One of the biggest coconuts Ron and I are holding is our career coconut. I have been working in the fashion industry for two decades, and while I love design and fashion, I forgot to check on myself to make sure my path aligns with my values and dreams. Although I dropped that coconut a while ago, I still find myself diving into conversations with Ron about it, and I thought it would be a good idea to reach out to a friend of ours, Meghan Houle. Meghan is an executive recruiter, a Luxury and Specialty Retail Master Coach, and the host of the fabulous podcast: Pivot with Purpose, where she discusses Career Development and Executive Leadership. If our conversations spark something within you, or you have a "Drop the Coconut" moment that you would like to share, I would love to hear from you. - you can find me on Instagram: @dropthecoconut, on LinkedIn, and on Facebook.

In this episode, Ron and I talked about our journey so far. We kept talking about our decisions, and one element kept coming up: Time. Change takes time. And when we tried to track back to the moment it all started, we went back all the way to the moment we met. The seeds of our then future journey were there! If our conversations spark something within you, or you have a "Drop the Coconut" moment that you would like to share, I would love to hear from you.

In this episode, we found ourselves diving into conversations about Courage and Self-love and how they relate to one another. These are huge coconuts in our lives, and I hope that through this conversation, you might find a few in your possession and, who knows, maybe drop one or two along the way with us.

The story behind "Drop the Coconut" is a story about letting go. In this podcast, I chat with My husband, Ron Thurston, and other guests about the moment you let go. About the moment, you bet on yourself that you are capable, adaptable, and deserve the change. I invite you to jump on our coconut wagon and drop some coconuts with us... our journey starts in 3..2...1

In the second episode of "Drop the coconut", I chat with my husband, Ron Thurston, about human connection. I am so excited for this second episode, as we share a little bit of personal letting go moments or what I call "Drop the Coconut" moments. I hope that through these conversations, you might find a few of them in your possession and, who knows, maybe drop one or two along the way with us.

In this first episode, I am discussing with my husband Ron Thurston, the events that led to us leaving our big careers behind and leaving NYC to travel in an Airstream across the US. It is a journey of self-discovery and self-empowerment. I hope this conversation will inspire you to find the coconuts you may be holding and maybe drop one or two along the way.
