In 2013, our host was attacked, strangled and sitting with her late grandfather in heaven before she woke up again. After she months spent dealing with the brain injury, brain therapy, depression and anxiety, she knew she had to put one foot in front of the other and try to heal. When she did, she started sharing her story and noticed something profound happening when she did so: the person she was talking to always had an incredible story to share in return about how they experienced something difficult and chose to rise above it. She left these interactions feeling so inspired by most humans she met and happy about her second chance at life. Carley wondered if people would want to hear these conversations in the form of a podcast so that even one other person could be reminded of life's shit show and know they're never alone either. She wanted to incorporate her loud, unfiltered, and goofy personality; so this podcast is peppered with laughter, bourbon and PBR with some "feel-good" vibes guaranteed.
I have known Em since we were FIVE years old, and Jays since we were fourteen. My God, these humans have built so much of my character and been a part of life's happiest moments over the years.

How do we react when life shifts from structured time boxes to uncertain expectations and an open road ahead? Editing this, I left feeling like I could go conquer the entire world and couldn't wait for life's next challenge. Swear. Buckle up for this contagiously energetic episode, witness Jays actually morph into the host and take my spot, and get ready to feel INSPIRED while giggling your ass off. I love you two.

This friendship all began when I (extremely) nervously slid my phone over to a woman on the train on my way to work. To find out her story about being raised in the projects, being an incredible mother to three girls, seeing far too much murder in her lifetime and ending up in a homeless shelter... you have to listen. Catherine is going to change the WORLD and I'm so glad God brought her into my life.

Cheers?

In this episode, we talk about why a podcast like SFR should fail entirely because positivity often leads us to desiring more, ultimately leading to a negative experience. Then, we dive into why stories like the ones told at SFR are genuine and DO stick...all using the freakin' incredible wisdom from Mark Manson's book 'The Subtle Art of not Giving a F*ck.' Warning: this episode is covered in F bombs because, well, so is Mark Manson.
