Description
Hi, we’re Shannon and Gerry Arner, your hosts (and our pup, Betty White) After owning our own business, working 24/7 (and a mental breakdown in between), we made a lifestyle change and decided to make the most out of life. We sold our house, most of our belongings, downsized, and moved to the coast. We live life minimally, but fully. We live each day as an adventure! This show will help you learn how to live life more fully, with more intention, by experiencing more, and with less stuff. Come join our adventure! It’s the Arner Adventures Podcast!

This spark in our lives episode guest is Piper Watson. Piper has gone from a successful solopreneur to founding and directing a non-profit makerspace that is the first of its kind in the world. She had 6 employees, 20 contracted educators, and 40 weekly volunteers. And then, she burned out.

She ran out of money multiple times, zapped her life savings, and learned how to navigate a pandemic.
Through these adventures, Piper learned about her own resilience, and ego, and how to move out of her own way to follow her true purpose in life. Now, Piper and her husband are both enjoying successful businesses doing their life’s work, and creating fulfillment each and every day by working with founders, CEOs, and creative captives to break out of the grind.
Piper Watson helps people do more of what they love!

Spark in Our Lives Episode: Shauna Nuckles is a public relations industry leader and Founder. Shauna spent her career rising through the PR agency ranks. She was determined to move to the top of an industry she loved and put in the hours and dedication to do so. At the point where it looked like she’d “made it,” the toll that job-related stress took on her health told a different story. Her doctor told her that she had 6 months to keep working like she was now or her body would force her to stop.
Through this process, she realized she wasn’t alone in feeling overwhelming stress and heard stories from others who shared their anxiety, stressed-induced hospital visits, and panic attacks.
Her mission suddenly became clear. In 2019 she founded Advocation, which is now paving the way for industry change by working with PR agencies to reduce stress without sacrificing results.

Joe Bains completely destroyed his health and became disabled for 6 months with type 2 diabetes. The hospitals couldn't help him and finally discharged him. He needed 24/7 care; putting him to bed, changing his clothes, showering him, and taking him to the toilet.
He then spent the next 3 years rebuilding his body and health from the inside out and made himself able-bodied again. He was so successful at this that now aged 54 he is at his healthiest and has boundless energy, more than he ever had even in his 20s and 30s.
Joe is a self-proclaimed health freak, does biohacking, and is currently practicing Intermittent Fasting, Keto, cold showers/baths/ wild bathing, and Wim Hof breath work. He has also written a book on healthy living.
