Free Range FlockEpisode 35: Season One Wrap UpJune 3rd, 2023, we were sitting in a studio, downtown Greensboro, recording our first episodes of this podcast. We were a combination of excitement and nervousness unsure of where this journey would take us. 35 episodes later, it's time for us to be reflective and look back at this journey. We love creating this podcast. Our guests have taught us so much and shared messages that we needed to hear. It's like going to therapy in public sometimes, but we feel like both of us have grown in so many ways.During this episode, we share moments from past episodes...

Does your answer focus immediately on your job or something else? How do you feel about that?During this episode, we talk with Katie Riddle about how our perspective changes about work as we get older. We are no longer like ourselves in our 20s and 30s trying to climb a corporate ladder trying to exceed expectations of our performance reviews. Instead, we take pride in doing our job well and log off at the...

Gen Z consists of people born between the years of 1997 and 2012. Right now, they would be ages 11-26. If you don't encounter someone in Gen Z on a regular basis, we highly recommend it.This generation is questioning things like how to approach work-life balance and gender roles in interesting ways.

You may not be swimming in dollars, but there are other ways to be rich - in health, in friendship, in love, etc. During this episode, we talk about the importance of the abundance mindset. Thanks to social media, it's easy to get distracted and start believing that your life is lacking.

So much adulting.During this episode of Free Range Flock, we address what adulting looks like as a Free Ranger. It's more than paying the bills and going to work. We have been doing that for decades.

This period can be marked by fluctuations in weight, alterations in body composition, a...
