I know what you are thinking, being a flight attendant must be the coolest job ever. You get to travel all over, meet great people and explore the world, right?
Not Exactly!
Being a flight attendant, especially in the beginning, is a lifestyle!
In most cases, starting pay is pretty low, you basically live out of a suitcase and you are away from home A LOT! Kiley mentioned that she hadn't been home for the holidays in about 3 years.
If you want to explore, Kiley recommends using Google to search "flight attendant interview questions". These will definitely help if you decide to go through the interview process.
There are a flight attendant schools that you can attend, althought it might be more helpful to apply directly to an airline as most will want to train you their own way based on that specific company's policies and procedures.
One day at work, I happenned to notice that there was an article on our pantry refrigerator that mentioned something about Yoga and Meditation. After a closer look, I was intrigued to say the least. The article feartured Sarah and Ashley, the co founders of a company called "Work From Om"; love that play on words. They offer yoga and meditation to both individual and corporate clients in the New York City Area.
That day happenned to be a particularly stressful day, so the placement of that article was almost serendipitous. I needed a way to manage the level of stress I was dealing with in a healthy way. I couldn't wait to hear more, so I reached out to Sarah and she was very generous with the time and content she brought to the show.
Even Sarah herself recounts how after incorporating meditation into her daily routine she was much more focused throughout the day and found that she was more focused and made better decisions.
Sarah and Ashley teach mindfulness techniques to help align your body, sprit and soul and explan how these three major parts of the human being are all connected.

A Few Good Men, Liar Liar, Devils Advocate and even Legally Blonde....what do they have in common? They romanticize the role of an attorney. But what is it really like?
Jon breaks it down for us and explains that there are different types of attorneys in the world, both in the public and private sector. Jon works for the public sector working for the state as an Assistant District Attorney. To be honest, I didn't know exactly what the job looked like until this inteview set me straight.

Ever wish you had a job that makes a difference in the world. Something noble and interesting that lets you travel and explore the globe, all while helping people build homes for their families and communities in much less fortunate places in the world than the US? That sounds all too great...doesn't it?
Well guess what....that's right, James does exactly that!
James and his co-founder started United Earth Builders, a company the specialized in building homes and structures using cutting edge technology, eco-friendly materials all while being environmentally conscious. He has travelled all over the world building these structures and even teaching others simply how to build when they have never build anything before. In fact, he just got back to the states after doing just that, in Africa.
That's Right....AFRICA!!
James had a "safe job" behind a desk that gave him a steady paycheck, but that wasn't enough. He clearly has a calling, and he has stopped at nothing to follow it including picking up and moving to California and then eventually mustering up the "intestinal fortitude" (thanks for that one James) to co-create his own company.
He now lives a minimalist lifestlye, but still is ablel to do the things that he loves like travel and even take snowboarding trips.
