God, Sex & Rich People… Purity Ring to NYC with Mattie Jo

We’ve all been there, trying to outgrow the version of ourselves we were raised to be. The “good girl,” the rule follower, the one who doesn’t question anything… until suddenly you do. Mattie Jo Cowsert is a pastor’s kid turned shameless oversharer, actor, author of God, Sex & Rich People, and truly the definition of “I’ll do as I please.”  From rebuilding her entire identity, to choosing a life that feels good, and staying out of situations that shrink you. We get into: • How the queer community and the diversity of New York City cracked open everything she believed about “purity culture” • Why “Fuckboy Monsters” was not only a chapter in her book, but a full era • What it really feels like to rebuild your identity in your 20s (and 30s) • Writing God, Sex & Rich People [https://www.mattiejocowsert.com/book?utm_source=ig&utm_medium=social&utm_content=link_in_bio&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQMMjU2MjgxMDQwNTU4AAGn546OlXGMTE2zCRxuhNDj2UM5XEqi3HEgBjPHVuIlmJZhxUzEj5uussmDGow_aem_Mf6r9j_cmus9u_LTjBJVcA] and developing her viral pilot [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYr3n-tZgK8]  • Why she refuses a safe 9–5 in favor of alignment,  joy, and simply believing in herself.  Get ready to rethink the “rules” you grew up with, laugh at her overshares, and maybe feel a little braver about pursuing your passion projects. ⁠⁠Follow Mattie Jo - [https://www.instagram.com/mattiejocowsert/⁠] https://www.instagram.com/mattiejocowsert/ [https://www.instagram.com/mattiejocowsert/⁠] ⁠⁠Follow Heather- ⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/⁠ ]⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/⁠⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/]  ⁠⁠ [https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/⁠ ]

Delusional Positivity, Ridiculous Job Apps & the Art of Just Starting — with Vandie

Vandie is bold and not to mention, savvy. She went from tech to essentially the “fun-planer” at a dream company, has lived in 26 cities, co-founded a space for connection after college, and chose to be child-free in a very permanent way. We talk about “delusional positivity,” radical self-trust, quitting the checklist life, and showing up authentically (even when you’re still figuring it out). This Dutch Bros’ “donut girl” redefines what “having it all” actually means. 🎙 Topics: * The audacity of starting before you’re ready * Building inclusive community spaces * Life after being laid off * Choosing the child-free life * Authenticity > perfection ⁠Follow Vandie [https://www.instagram.com/vandieboo/] - https://www.instagram.com/vandieboo/ [https://www.instagram.com/vandieboo/] ⁠Follow Heather- ⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/⁠ ]⁠https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/]  ⁠Follow the show on Substack- ⁠ [https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/⁠ ]⁠https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/⁠ [https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/]

No Plan B: Eric Jackson on Breaking Into Sports Journalism and the Business of Sports

Eric Jackson knows the game on and off the field. He’s an award-winning journalist and sports communications strategist, ate a hundred “no’s,” and still landed on his feet covering athletes from the NFL to the Olympics and artists from Ice Cube to Darius Rucker. He highlights the business of sports, showing the intersection where athletics, money, and culture collide. We talk resilience without a Plan B, student journalism that matters, athletes as entrepreneurs (yes, Ice Cube’s Big3 and Macklemore’s golf era), and why the scoreboard is only part of the story.  Eric opens up about the journey to get here, giving back by teaching at Long Island University, dreaming about LA28, and designing a life that doesn’t look like anyone else’s. ⁠Follow Eric - https://www.instagram.com/epjackson/ [https://www.instagram.com/epjackson/] ⁠Follow Heather- ⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/⁠ ]⁠https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/⁠ [https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/]  ⁠Follow the show on Substack- ⁠ [https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/⁠ ]⁠https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/⁠ [https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/]

Cliff Jumps, Ownership & One-Way Tickets: Santiago’s Leap to Mallorca, Spain

“We came to this world to live.” Meet Santiago Iglesias — an Argentine entrepreneur turned Mallorca adventure guide who left a 10-year accounting career to build a life of business ownership, cliff jumps, solar travel and navigating visas.  He opened a hostel in Mar del Plata, Argentina, took the journey to Italian citizenship, and upped and moved across the world; learning patience, what happens when you slow down, what happens when you meet new people from different cultures, and all of the lovely bits in between.  We touch on his favorite places from Uluwatu, to Australia, to where he now calls home. If you’ve ever craved a nudge to choose the unexpected—this is it. So, as always, this is your fun reminder to (maybe) ‘do the scary thing’ you never know what could happen.  Follow Santiago [ttps://www.instagram.com/san_iglesiass/] here to hear about his adventures, hostel, and bar back in Argentina- https://www.instagram.com/san_iglesiass/ [https://www.instagram.com/san_iglesiass/]  Follow Heather- [https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/⁠ ]https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/ [https://www.instagram.com/heather_hiccups/]  Follow the show on Substack- [https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/⁠ ]https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/ [https://travelinghiccups.substack.com/]
