Welcome back to Campfire Convos!

Tonight I’m joined by my longtime friend Erin, and this episode goes everywhere in the best way possible — from health coaching and the broken medical system… to alpacas, ADHD chaos, body positivity, diet myths, friendship stories, and a gaggle of geese mid-episode.

All filmed around the Solo Stove Bonfire 2.0, powered by your log donations and a very aggressive amount of smoke.

(Seriously… this fire had beef with Erin. 😂)

If you want more conversations like this — real, deep, chaotic, honest, and filled with warmth — make sure you’re subscribed.
