ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

179: It’s been over three years since we started the podcast, so we thought a proper re-introduction was overdue! Even though we do a catch up at the beginning of each episode, we know there are a lot of new listeners who stumble upon our show and haven’t been around to hear the play by play in the last (almost) 200 episodes!

Allison is in Tulum, focusing on wellness and remote work. She’s been working with a resort here doing freelance marketing and creative direction. Ceara is back in California on a freelance work shoot (her 4th trip with Visit California). She also got to spend time with a friend in Tahoe and go to an Odesza concert. 

We share about where we are currently at in life, our favorite activities, hobbies, the need to revisit our 2024 goals and express our gratitude for the incredible community we have. We’re so lucky to be able to do this show and can’t wait to see what else is to come. 

If you’re new to our show, here’s a few things you should know! We started the podcast in 2020 to help fight the loneliness epidemic and bring together a like-minded community of people interested in healthy living, travel, entrepreneurship and taking risks to create your dream life. With new episodes every single Friday, we hope to be a part of your weekly podcast lineup. We’re always honored to have new listeners and appreciate any support on social media, our patreon or sharing by word of mouth.

We do a segment called ‘peak of the week’ in every episode. This is a way to show gratitude and acknowledge all of the incredible things happening in our lives. We also invite our listeners to send in their peaks on our instagram story box every Monday. Then we read a few aloud on each episode. 

WWYBD?! (What Would Your Bestie Do) Is our ongoing Q&A advice episodes that go live the last Friday of every month. Listeners submit anonymous questions and we answer as ‘your best friends.’
