E00: Welcome to the show!

This episode is a brief introduction to me and what this show is about. How an uncommon life, led by unconventional choices, might be the right path to peace and fulfillment.

I feel like the choices that have brought me the most happiness and reduced my stress most in this life are those that are unconventional. Although I have more than 10 years working in corporate America, I’m a stay at home mom now. I’ve walked away from six figure salaries more than once and have chosen to live well below my means. I want lots of kids, and where I live, they call people who want lots of kids breeders! Also, I am a conservative Christian living in the most unchurched part of our country. Where I live, most of my choices are counter cultural but I refuse to feel ashamed of them. I’ve also managed to do some pretty unconventional things. I used to be an amateur fighter in Muay Thai, a kickboxing sport from Thailand, and even trained in Thailand a few years ago. My experiences from years of managing people, then quitting, to fighting, and now motherhood have shaped my perspective that, sometimes happiness is found in doing things that don’t make sense, or are uncommon.
