Jared started his career in Los Angeles with an education based startup, but from the story he tells, he got his real-life education from his world travels. I feel like there is so much more to Jared's story, but he gives you a glimpse of all his journeys in this interview. From a head-on collision in Malibu that broke both his legs, to the living and working in a Shamanic Healing Retreat in Ecuador. He's soulful and inviting and his willingness to share is infectious; I feel blessed to hear his story and to share it with you all.

Alana spent ten years in the corporate banking industry before she took a leave of absence and never returned. She gave herself time and space to figure out what was next for her and freelanced until she was ready to start her professional organizing business. Alana's love and passion for her work come out in the podcast interview that leaves you feeling like you got a big hug from a family member. When I first met Alana, she told me she wanted "to do something that brought value and purpose." She's found a way to give back to her clients that is not only fulfilling for them but serves her mission as well. I hope you enjoy Alana's dropout story.
