EP 77: Mindful Living for All Ages w/ Erin O’Connor
In this episode, we sit down with Erin O'Connor, a mindfulness teacher and founder of Happy Humans Mindfulness. Erin shares her journey from being a classroom teacher to discovering mindfulness after the unexpected loss of her husband, and how it transformed both her life and teaching. We dive into key takeaways on how mindfulness can help regulate emotions, increase self-awareness, and cultivate gratitude. Erin also explains that mindfulness is about being present with all emotions, not just the joyful ones, and offers simple practices to retrain the brain for positivity. We also touch on Human Design and its role in parenting and personal growth.

EP 76: Breaking Free from the 9-to-5: Building a Life that Aligns with Your True Self w/ Kali Tougas
In this episode, my good friend Kali Tougas is back! Kali’s been on a journey to freedom of her own. She recently sold her house and transitioned to a nomadic lifestyle in a 40-foot fifth-wheel RV with her family (including 4 dogs). She shares her reasons for making such a bold move—like getting out of debt and seeking a simpler life—and the challenges that came with downsizing and packing up a 2700 sq. ft. home in just three months. We also talk about the adjustments to RV life, with unexpected perks like never having to mow the lawn again!
A big part of our conversation revolves around human design and how understanding it has transformed both of our relationships with our children. We explore how different energy types—manifesters, generators, and projectors—can shape communication and parenting approaches. Emotional intelligence comes up as well, and we both emphasize the importance of allowing emotions to be expressed without judgment, for ourselves and for our kids.
I also share my own experience of finding a job that aligns with my human design, which has given me the flexibility to manage my energy and schedule in a way that feels right. Both of us agree on the value of letting go of societal conditioning and labels, embracing a more fluid and authentic approach to life.
