What do you want to be when you grow up?

Turns out… it’s a lifelong question.

In this episode, we share the many jobs we’ve had over the years — from minimum-wage beginnings to careers we never planned, pivots we didn’t see coming, and passions that evolved with every season of life.

Cal walks through her “short” list of 12 different job jobs and how stepping into entrepreneurship in 2003 changed everything.

Mags breaks down her 24+ jobs (including a legendary one-day stint at Comfort Dental 😅) and why she was never afraid to leave a role that didn’t feel right.

We talk about why career paths don’t have to be linear, why you don’t have to pick one thing forever, and how pursuing what lights you up — even as a hobby — matters for you and the kids watching you grow.

In this episode, Cal and Megs dive headfirst into a raw, perspective-shifting truth: both Cal and her son, Whitten John 💪🏼, have personally faced cancer—and both had the moment of ringing the bell. They share what that experience was really like, why the bell matters, and what it does to your soul when you’re forced to confront your own mortality far earlier than expected.

When you come that close to serious adversity, it changes the way you move through the world. Small stuff stops feeling so big. Anger feels optional. Ego loses its grip. Cal shares a moment with an angry stranger in traffic and how choosing peace over reaction has become second nature after everything she’s lived through.

The conversation opens up into a bigger question: how do we choose to live? Would you rather have a short life filled with joy or a long one ruled by frustration and resentment? We also explore how energy is contagious, why boundaries matter, and how people who “live like they rang the bell” tend to light up every room they enter.

And finally… why do we only ring bells for cancer? Shouldn’t we be honoring every hard chapter we survive?

This one will stay with you.

In this episode, we sit down with our guest Dawn to talk about something most people don’t even realize could be impacting their health: mold toxicity.

Dawn is a former health and fitness coach who did everything right. She ate well. She moved her body. She took care of herself. And yet—things slowly started falling apart. Aches and pains in her ankles. Disrupted sleep. Weight creeping up. Constant exhaustion. When she went to her primary care provider, the answer was simple and dismissive: you’re just getting older.

But Dawn couldn’t accept that this was just her new normal.

What followed was a long, frustrating journey through holistic approaches, alternative practitioners, and deeper testing—until she finally uncovered the real root cause: mold toxicity. In this conversation, we break down what mold toxicity actually is, how common it may be, the symptoms that often get overlooked or misdiagnosed, and what Dawn has done to begin healing.

More than two and a half years later, she’s still navigating the long-term effects—and redefining what “normal” looks like for her now. There’s so much to unpack that we intentionally leave this conversation open, because we know it’s going to spark questions… and we’re just getting started.
