Chaos Coffee and Community

Sarah and CoraLyn are best friends (breastie from another chestie) and business partners - and sooooo different! We drink coffee & talk about things like mental health, travel, racism, nonprofits, movies, being women business owners, music, systems of oppression, food, burnout, resilience, mental illness and trauma, religion, politics, aliens, current events, things going on in our lives, parenting, and so much more. Grab a bev and join the fun!

Making Tough Decisions

CoraLyn & Sarah talk about making tough decisions - when you HAVE to make a decision & you REALLY REALLY REALLY don't want to. Those tough life lessons that you really don't want to, but you know it's right. Power dynamics within relationships, divorce, examining our own complicity. What is right? How do we navigate tough decisions.

All things gynecology!!

CoraLyn & Sarah get “all up in there” & talk about women’s health & gynecology!  When do you go?  What have you been told about gynecology?  What’s a typical period?  Is a gyno really that different from other doc’s?  Do you know that your doctors work for YOU?!! Huge thanks to CoraLyn for sharing about her first experience at a gynecology appointment & all that she learned.
