Is it nature or nurture? That is the eternal true crime question. Jenn, aka Childfreesista, has never been able to turn away from the dark side.

Then came Truman Capote's In Cold Blood and Alice Sebold's memoir Lucky. Her fascination with exploring what true crime stories can teach us about our human condition was born.    In this premier episode, Childfreesista introduces a much-needed perspective that challenges the current pronatalist approach to true crime.    Childfreesista is an award-winning poet, short story author, and essayist holding a BA in Anthropology and a Masters in Library and Information Science. She is a librarian and Jamaican American atheist raising two pandemic puppies in the DC Metro Area.     Full transcript available here!   Stay up-to-date with the latest content and events for the childfree community by subscribing to the Childfree Media newsletter.

As a volunteer-run rescue based in Northern Virginia and the DC Metro Area, they rescue animals from high-kill shelters, especially those located in the rural south. Lucky Dog Animal Rescue started in 2009 after Mirah gathered like-minded volunteers from the community who are passionate about rescuing animals. Mirah recalls how government service has inspired her to lend a helping hand for helpless animals who deserve to have a second chance in life with a forever home and loving families. Despite its name, Lucky Dog Animal Rescue now offers an active program for cats in the community. Their mission is to connect potential adopters with animals who have been neglected, at risk of euthanasia, and in need of care and attention. Today, they also focus on addressing the prevalent issues concerning animals in their community. “Our real mission is to try to help shelters that have no other help.” - Mirah Horowitz Tune in to find out how you can start your own rescue and reach out to other shelters that need assistance in finding homes for animals!

Ari Jacoby grew up in the DC Metro Area, but has lived in New York City for the last 17 years. He's married with 2 kids at home, ages 12 and 9, and he spends a lot of time outside of his business building legos, math homework, and stem projects with his kids. The biggest hit of the stem projects has been circuitry, to see something buzz or light up at the end of the exercise. He's a big fan of international travel, and enjoys a good glass of wine with his wife.Speaking of, Ari's biggest influence is his wife. As he puts it, she is the CFO (Chief Family Officer) of the Jacoby Household, and does a brilliant job of it. He likes to watch her works, and finds it motivating how much she gets done and takes care of in her infinitely more hard role than his.Ari spent a lot of time around identity, specifically in ad tech and mar tech. He figured out that data was common currency in that world, but not in other spaces. Having built large identity graphs, he recognized there was an opportunity to do it again in cyber risk and fraud.This is the creation story of Deduce.SponsorsCourierImg.lyRoutableCTO.aiCloudways offers peace of mind and flexibility so you can focus on growing your business instead of dealing with server management.

Elise Woodworth – Small Town Indiana Girl to Executive Coach in the DC Metro Area Elise's fear of not making something of herself, led this small town girl to follow in her father's footsteps attending the Virginia Military Institute (VMI). This decision, along with a four year stint in the Air Force, laid the foundation she needed to pursue entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurship Elise says her time at VMI and in the Air Force gave her the leadership skills and “opportunity” to fail, which made her into the person she is today.  She shares; ”One of the things I think people need to understand is that all you need to overcome obstacles, recognize problems and find solutions in business and in your personal life is the right mindset.” Woodworth Enterprises She founded Woodworth Enterprises in 2014. Their mission is to “ignite tomorrows leaders, inspire today's, and help develop teams that will shape history.” One way of achieving this goal is by evaluating the culture of a company, then giving their leadership insight on what values are shared and a clear picture of their workforce's heartbeat. This evaluation becomes a tool that leadership can use to decide if they want to make any “tweaks or edits” in their management approach.

During the weekend of November 1-2, I had the opportunity to speak to a standing-room-only room filled with budding content creators talking about my favorite subject. Media. The funny thing is, while I was teaching principles of monetization, the event was teaching me about hosting a premier, intimate affair. DC Podfest is an event geared towards the education and insights of podcasting within the DC Metro Area. While smaller than most conventions, this event is big on heart, and I walk you through what I learned from being a speaker and an attendee.

The saying goes, “entrepreneurship is living a few years of your life like most people won't so that you can spend the rest of your life like most people can't.” When it comes to building a business and living the American dream, my life has been nothing shy of hard work. Starting at a young age, I've always been inspired to thrive for better and bring about change to the industry and my well-deserved team. When opportunity doesn't knock, I build my own door. After spending years in the Creative Real Estate Market, I decided to unite highly qualified marketing, contracting and investing experts with clients who needed them most. It was a vision that came to me at the tender age of 23. I partnered with high net worth real estate developers, investors, lenders, and agents to finding Ace Equity Pros, a professional Real Estate Investment Company that provides simple solutions to selling your home quickly and efficiently. This year alone, we've bought and sold over 20 homes in cash. Ace Equity Pros is your number one solution to selling a home with ease in the DC Metro Area. Having started from humble beginnings with no college education, I understand the value of giving back to others. Bill Gates, Steve Jobs and Mark Zuckerburg all dropped out of college yet became successful technologists. To be successful, you have to take risks – and when it comes to Gates, Jobs, and Zuckerburg each man broke from the traditional path to pursue his ambition and fuel his passions. My passion happens to be for Real Estate. What you'll learn about in this episode: How Raphael went from being a high school dropout to retiring his mother and buying a Lamborghini at only 27 years old The importance of overcoming the fear of cold calling to becoming a successful salesperson Why direct mail isn't dead and how to leverage it as a tool to boost real estate sales and client response How to secure contracts without even seeing a property first using an “inspection period” Using skiptracing to track down potential clients who buy similar properties to yours The best ways to handle low or no offers on a property and how to interact with homeowners Raphael's plans and advice for investing in your future and continuing to move forward The wisdom and books Raphael used to boost his KPIs and make $1 million for his company Additional resources: Website: www.TheMentorPodcast.com/Vargas

You may remember back in Episode 4 a few weeks ago, we chatted with Natalie Seng of Designed Perfectly Events all about how planners see venues and what they look for on behalf of their clients. Today, I am excited to take that idea a little bit further and hear what photographers think about venues! Why does this matter to you? You may hear some ideas of simple things you can do to improve the appearance and presentation of your spaces.

How easy is it to access mental health services? I’ve heard some say it is very difficult. But my guest this week says, it’s actually not as difficult as others may think. In this interview I chat with Alicia Dalton, COO of QCI Behavioral about the different ways people can get access to services. QCI is a comprehensive behavioral health solution in the DC Metro Area and Alicia breaks down all the ways you can get help. As the COO, Alicia serves the community by creating programs and policies to help clients connect to the mental health services they need. It is her passion to bring serenity to the lives of others. This interview was amazing. I was blown away by all the knowledge Alicia dropped! QCI offers mobile units, home visits – they even meet clients at local store.

Today’s episode was recorded live and our guest was Cissa Paz, a Brazilian singer. We did this episode in an undisclosed location in Rockville, Maryland. The minute we entered to Cissa’s house I knew this will be a different episode. We have so much in common: music, food, spirituality, and a life to be happy and thankful for. Cissa’s energy is everywhere; we were amazed how much joy she can irradiate while she told us her story and her upbringing in a Virginia environment different from her Rio Janeiro. Her Brazilian voice will be embedded in all of you. Two of my favorite songs are: Toro Brabo, Corinha, to say the least. Definitely, I can wait to see her performance next Thursday on a private concert at her home and I invite to all my audience to follow her performance in the DC Metro Area. You will not regret listening to her melodic voice and embrace Brazilian culture, if you have not done so yet.

Life coach and author, Robin Meyers, talks about how to reclaim your identity and follow your dreams by remembering your true identity. So often we can become so focused on the needs of others that we forget about how we can empower our own path to self-discovery. Robin talks about her own personal journey which lead her through some dark times, but now she is dedicated to helping women align their lives with balance, creativity, and clarity. Robin talks about how when we are experiencing dark times, we feel completely alone, scattered, and confused. But, we can transform our difficult experiences into a time of creativity so we rediscover the life we are meant to live. About the Guest: As a life strategist, Robin’s goal is to empower women, all over the world, to find their passions and to follow their visions at any age. Through life there are many transitions, but what matters most is that women realize that their self- worth is non-negotiable.  Robin has her master of science in molecular genetics from Case Western Reserve University but was never passionate about that field. She went through life serving others and doing what others expected of her. After some thoughtful insight, she became an educator, mentor, speaker, author and founder of Navigate & Empower LLC. Robin has over 25 years experience in the corporate and non-profit world in education, training and mentoring. She is the author of “Alone but Not Lonely” - recently published by Balboa Press. Robin believes that women should know that “you are worth it.” Robin’s goals are to empower women all over the world to create the life you want and be unapologetically you.
