In the very beginning of The Life Council, I write about a deep friendship rift in my life from 2020. I kept the details vague and the identity of the friend anonymous. But that same friend was willing to have this conversation together here because we both agreed that it's a story that is so important to us. On the surface, it's about a group text…

I met Cyndi in 2001 in the earliest weeks after moving from Oklahoma to Los Angeles. And in that most formative year, she became my guide, my teacher, my role model and my mentor. When Cyndi and I met to record this conversation together, I had only seen her in person a handful of times in the last decade. And yet she remains one of my life's great…

I think the Daily Duty friend - someone you see or speak to almost daily - is like the Holy Grail of friends, but I didn't have a Daily Duty friend in adulthood until I was FORTY. And then when she arrived it was from the strangest of sources: Volleyball! Julie and I had been close friends before our daughters (both named Lucy) took up club volleyb…

There is only one person on the planet that I've lived with longer than family and that's Lindsay Lawler. We were freshman college roommates at the University of Oklahoma and then we lived together for years in Hollywood in our twenties. We shared an address, a bathroom, a fridge, a LIFE. In this conversation, you're going to hear two people talkin…

Back In 2019, I infamously said on the 10 Things To Tell You podcast that the women in my business Mastermind were not my friends. Jamie Golden, Bri McKoy, and Kendra Adachi are back to refute that claim and also take their offical seats on my Life Council as my "Business Besties," as I write about them in my book. In this conversation we tell our …

Jennifer Welsh (Welshie) and I met working on jackass the movie in 2002. I desperately wanted her to be my friend. She told me point blank that we were not friends, only co-workers. Cut to 2023 where she is a fixture at all our family holidays and my kids treat her like an aunt. How did we get from there to here? This conversation took an important…

I don't consider myself easily intimidated, but the first time I saw Amber Haines, I was awestruck. I still pinch myself that I get to be friends with someone like Amber and we've now traveled the world together under difficult circumstances, which is why she occupies this seat on my Life Council. We've watched one another transform literally befor…

Three of the people who know my truest self date back to my childhood. We've been a foursome for almost thirty years now and they know a side of me that new friends would never understand. We grew up in the same town, went to the same churches, and dated the same boys. There's just no replicating that...ever. Drew (Andy), Meg (Megan), and Jaime (El…

I met Jamie Golden on the internet. And our friendship has come to mean so much to me over the last few years. Jamie has the sole distinction of being the only person I write about in TWO separate seat on my Life Council. She shares a Business Bestie seat with the other members of our work Mastermind and she is also my Fellow Obsessive. A Fellow Ob…

Meg Tietz is the reason I am a podcaster. She's one of my oldest friends and her presence is felt on every page of The Life Council, most especially in the subtitle of the book, which I took from a podcast episode we created together back in 2016. But even though I could have written about her filling many seats on my personal Life Council, for the…
