Abbie Smith & Stacie Alldritt
Tune in for lively conversations with Abbie and Stacie about the systems we encounter in our everyday lives.

We examine and define the conscious and unconscious principles and procedures we live by, and explore living life with intention, clarity, and focus. We're so glad you're here!
What emotions does the word "risk" stir up for you? How do you evaluate risk? This week Abbie and Stacie share their personal level of risk-taking and muse on how being "risky" is a very personal experience. This episode covers career risks, physical risks, emotional risks, and mental risks. Expect to go deep and ask yourself what "a risk" means to you.
