Following Your Intuition Even When You're Scared

Following Your Intuition Even When You're Scared

Tonsil stones are known to impact 10% (probably closer to 20%!) of the US population — this common yet overlooked issue primarily affects women.  Sydney Forbes was frustrated with the lack of education and options for people dealing with this issue and is empowering individuals to take control of their well-being by breaking the silence around this taboo subject and creating her own category within oral care. 


After earning a degree in Bioengineering from Oregon State University, Sydney is now challenging the outdated, male-dominated oral care industry, with her fresh perspective and specifically designed solutions for removing tonsil stones.


We talk about how Sydney started getting in touch with her intuition in college, how it led her to finding her business partner & the difficulty of being the one to navigate an unknown path.

Challenging Yourself Through Uncomfortability

Challenging Yourself Through Uncomfortability

Gabriel Van Guse is a father to two beautiful girls, Ella and Isa. Married to Claire— a beautiful and strong firefighter. UW graduate in philosophy. By label and profession he is a teacher/coach, but he prefers mentor and facilitator, offering positive insight, guidance and opportunity to his students.  His goals are simple:  to have a positive mindset that INSPIRES and IMPACTS others.  #FIP Guse was my high school History teacher and taught me more about how to think for myself and ALWAYS ask questions than he did about the Revolutionary War.  


Growing up in a religion where questions were looked down upon, it took me years into my adulthood to learn that questioning everything is me living my best life. In my second episode with Guse we chat about parenting, coaching, pushing limits and ALL the shit in between.

Forced into Life 3️⃣

No one could have prepared me mentally for how I would feel when that night was over, but someone could've explained to me what rape was.  What it looked like.  The statistics; how to protect myself & what to do IF I was ever put into the situation.


If you, or someone you know has experienced a traumatic assault, PLEASE know that you are not alone & even if it's scary and confusing, talking to someone about it will help.  My heart aches for your pain, but I'm here to remind you that you can heal.

Always be on your toes with life! 👠 #that'sjusttheindustry

This girl is fearless.  She majored in Journalism & is going back this summer for a BA in Education.  Talk about badass.  I was starstruck listening to her journey covering a Super Bowl and it got a little emotional when we talked about a death that affected us both over 15 years ago.  Tori has big plans for her future and should definitely be featured in the next Rebel Girls book.
