Workationing
In a time and place when you can work from anywhere, two ladies in their mid-to-late 27's have decided to — and they're calling it Workationing. 12 months, 12 countries, 12 professional and personal goals, and countless adventures. Is this a huge mistake or are they about to have the time of their lives? This is the Workationing podcast.

The ladies also reflect on what the last two years of Workationing have meant to them, what they’ve learned and how their lives have been transformed by the experience.

Ep 56: How to Become a Digital Nomad
09/17/2018
Ep 56: How to Become a Digital Nomad
As fans of the Workationing podcast already know, Kari and Kelly huge advocates of the digital nomad lifestyle. The ladies have used their ability to work remotely to travel the world, knock countless items off their bucket lists, and generally live a more intentional and fulfilling life. However, being location independent isn’t all sunshine, rainbows, and killer shots for Insta.In this episode the gringas are keeping it very real about the fact that becoming a digital nomad takes a lot of hard work. You need to have a skill set that allows you to work remotely, the ability to consistently show major ROI to clients who will never see your face, and enough work ethic and determination to work hard even when you’d rather be out exploring whichever awesome new city you’re currently posted up in. There are also logistical issues. You’ll most likely need to ditch your rent/mortgage, find a place to store anything you want to keep, rehome pets, breakup with partners who don’t share your vision, find someone to handle your mail, figure out what to do with your car, get international travelers insurance, and much more!On top of that, you’ll need a lot of balls. It’s not easy to make a big life transition under any circumstances, but when you’re choosing a lifestyle that your friends and family aren’t familiar with and that is, by its very nature uncertain, it can be hard to stick to your guns. Throw in the anxiety that comes with throwing yourself totally outside of your comfort zone, and you have a recipe for a lot of sleepless nights and crying jags. However, the ladies still recommend this lifestyle to anyone. It’s not always easy, but it has consistently been worth all the stress (and even the occasional heartache) that has come with it.

Ep 55: Kelly Lost 100 Lbs!
It’s been a long road, but in the last year and a half your gringas have lost — we shit you not — almost 140 pounds. And Kelly has lost over 100 of that on her own. Both Kari and Kelly are loving this new healthier version of themselves and are proud of everything that they’ve accomplished, however, as they reflect back on the process it’s definitely a little bittersweet. The ladies discuss the traumatic life events that lead to the weight gain, struggling with body dysmorphia, the moment when Kelly knew things had gone too far, and all of the ways in which losing the equivalent of a chubby 5th grader can actually be a giant mindfuck. (Spoiler alert: they cry again.)Kari and Kelly also talk about what life looks like now, and what they are doing to maintain their new healthier outlook. Losing weight and keeping it off is definitely not a diet — it’s a lifestyle change — and for your gringas it still feels like a constant science experiment to figure out what works and what doesn’t.

Ep 54: Relationshit Part IV: The Aftermath
After the releasing the Relationing Thrillogy, Kari and Kelly got TONS of letters from listeners who wanted to weigh in with their thoughts as well — and they decided to read some of their faves out loud. The ladies heard from a listener who has been on 93 Tinder first dates (the gringas were shook), a listener who is exploring polyamory as solopoly person, and they even read a letter calling them out for being a bit hypocritical. (Hey, a good point is a good point.)Kari and Kelly also discuss some larger issues including some recent heartbreak they’ve encountered and some of the more nuanced aspects of dating in the digital age.

Ep 53: Relationshit Part III: When to Walk Away (and When to Run Away Screaming)
In the final chapter of the Relationshit trilogy, Kari and Kelly talk about when to walk away from a relationship...and when to run away screaming. When you’re a person of a certain age, should you settle at some point? When do you know when it’s time to hit the “tap out” button, whether that means staying or going? If you don’t have a shared vision of the future, it might be time to go. See also: if you’re not sexually compatible or the chemistry just isn’t there. What happens when you’re no longer sexually attracted to your partner – or your partner is no longer sexually attracted to you? The ladies also get into trust and communication issues, and what that looks like (if you’re constantly going through your partners’ phones looking for evidence of cheating, either you’ve got a broken boyfriend/girlfriend selector or you’re the one with trust issues. Finally, what does an abusive relationship look like? Kari opens up about her experiences with emotional abuse, and the ladies talk about what different types of abuse can look like. When your partner constantly undermines or gaslights you, or generally treats you like shit, it’s time to go. If your partner ever hits you, it’s time to run away screaming (and get help on your way out, because it can be a dangerous situation).

Ep 52: Relationshit Part II: Dating in the Digital Era
In Part II of the relationshit series, Kari and Kelly talk about dating in the digital era...starting with the decision to try online dating in the first place. Kari admits to her shocking history of internet dating (she’s a real O.G. on that front), and the ladies talk about Tinder strategies, first date escape plans and seeing your ex and his new wife post FB photos in front of the Christmas tree you bought years ago. The Gringas also have you covered on some strategies to make your Google search results more attractive to prospective dates.Dating in the digital era comes with all kinds of questions. How deeply do you stalk your dates? When do you move from Tinder chat to WhatsApp or text? When do you delete your online dating profiles, and does that mean you’re in an exclusive relationship? When – or do you? – make it “Facebook official?” Then there’s the breakup side of dating in the digital era – do you make an announcement on Facebook? Do you stay social media friends with their friends? Block them on all fronts? Instagram wars, cyberstalking your ex’s new partners and more plugs for Internet therapy abound (the ladies love their internet therapists so much, they have an affiliate relationship with BetterHelp – get a week of free online therapy at betterhelp.com/workationing).

Ep 51: Dating in Your 30s (and Beyond) – Welcome to the Thunderdome, Bitch!
The ladies are finally making good on their promise to talk about relationshit, and in this ep they cover all aspects of dating in your 30s (and beyond). Everything is on the table, incuding exes and sexes, financial differences, dating with (or actively without) kids, sexual compatibility, age gaps and the “what if” relationships that failed along the way. The reality of dating while getting older (wait, is that my biological alarm I hear going off in the not-to-far distance) is hitting the ladies like a speeding tram. Kari and Kelly discuss how Sex and the City wasn’t just a show, but a prophecy, and what that means for them and their friends. The vulnerability level of this episode is off the charts, and the ladies discuss things that many single women in their 30s and 40s think about but rarely talk about. It’s a tough episode, but at least we’ve all got internet therapy to help us cope with it all. Want to try internet therapy for yourself?

Ep 50 - There Is No Spoon: Overcoming Mental Blocks
Kari and Kelly have been working hard to launch their new training program for aspiring digital nomads. Along the way they’ve been having lots of discussions with people about the mental blocks that keep them from moving forward toward their goals, and they’re beginning to notice a pattern. From getting stuck in bad habits to grappling with imposter syndrome, there are a lot of mental landmines to maneuver around when you’re making a big change in your life. The ladies tackle the most common ones and share what they’ve learned about how to deal with them. (Though admittedly, it’s an ongoing battle.) Kari and Kelly also dish on their secret weapon for self-improvement: their internet therapists. They’re easier, less expensive, and more flexible than a traditional therapist and they can be a real lifesaver when it comes to accountability and processing through major life changes.

Ep 49 - Depression, Breakups, Expatting and Getting Ma’med While Naked
In the Giant Catch-Up, Part 2 the ladies dig into how they caught a major case of the winter blues. Business is booming, which required travel to San Diego and Edinburgh, Scotland...where the ladies holed up in their AirBnb and binge-watched Outlander. Both Kari and Kelly experience breakups, and faceplant off of the keto diet and into gaining a weird amount of weight in a very short period of time. Expatting and integrating into Dutch society proves to be more challenging than the Gringas were expecting. Kari visits a Dutch spa, where the situation is very much coed and everyone is 100% naked. Awkwardness and embarrassment ensue. The ladies pull out of their nosedive and back onto their bikes, over to the gym – Jos is back in the game, and they’re seeing major progress. Your Gringas get accepted into an exclusive club, and win friends through Kelly’s Total Eclipse of Karaoke. Ever hear of internet therapy?

Kari goes to Paris and Barcelona with the guy she’s been seeing, and the ladies knock out two bucket list items: seeing a sex show and captaining a boat through the canals. The Gringas get a few visitors, too: Kelly’s friends Sarah and Tim come to visit, and the ladies also play host to Suzannah Weiss, a prolific sex and relationship writer whose work is regularly featured in Glamour, Vice and Bustle, among others. Suzannah is also a digital nomad, coming in hot from Germany, and a member of the Workationing International Girl Squad (IGS).

Kari and Kelly are settling into their new digs in Amsterdam, and loving life on the canals. However, the culture shock factor is more than they bargained for. It turns out that even outside of Latin America, your girls still feel very much like gringas After finally figuring out that the extremely fancy spot two doors down is actually a gym, Kari and Kelly sign up to work on their fitness. The staff, however, is none too pleased with their insistence on wearing their yoga pants in off the street like animals. Your gringas refuse to be deterred by all the side-eye and get an insanely hot trainer named Jos. They asked for a mean trainer and got a funny one with lots of Dutch sayings to share instead, but Kari and Kelly aren’t even mad. It turns out to be a great fit. The ladies also discuss how tax law and Dutch cheapness are the reason behind the inexplicably steep staircases they keep having to climb. Kelly has some serious concerns about all these babies with no helmets, and Kari is going to take a hostage in a restaurant if someone doesn’t bring her the check soon.

Ep 43 – We Made it to Amsterdam (And the Tinder Game is FIRE!)
After leaving Prague early, the ladies are posting up in Amsterdam for at least two months...assuming they ever get into their new apartment. Pro travel tip: if you’re going to be digital nomad-ing, look for rental agencies that cater to expats. You’re going to save 50% on monthly Airbnb rental fees this way. The ladies get to find out how European and American banking systems differ, and that difference keeps them in a hotel for several extra days. The Tinder game out here is on fire, and the ladies have pre-swiped their way to a few dates. On Day 1 in Amsterdam, Kari goes on a Tinder date with Paul, who takes her to a fancy restaurant followed by drag queen bingo at a gay bar. The weird factor is high with this one, and there may be some long-term potential here. Kelly’s first Tinder date doesn’t go as well, which sparks a feminist rant that you won’t want to miss.

Ep 42 – We Made it to Prague! (And Now We’re Leaving)
Kari and Kelly are finally getting to their European leg of Workationing – and they’re kicking it off in Prague (or actually, the hellish airport in Frankfurt, Germany). After missing their connecting flight and getting to spend an extra 8 hours touring the airport lounges in Frankfurt, the ladies arrive at their Airbnb in Prague, Czech Republic. As usual, things don’t go to plan. Due to “hot water issues” at the Airbnb they’d originally rented, they find themselves staying in the projects outside of the city. The bathroom is a real danger zone, and the Airbnb host keeps delaying when they can move into the apartment they rented. Kari goes on a Tinder date, which also has some unexpected twists and turns. A Speedo-clad Eastern European man in a hot tub on a boat offers to let Kari hop aboard and share his charcuterie plate, and there’s some hobo-style train hopping adventures. The Gringas are still not at 100% after Acapulco, and have learned from their previous mistakes. Instead of staying in a bad situation, they’re leaving early for their next destination: Amsterdam.

Ep 41 – Leaving Las Vegas and the Liberty Movement

Ep 41 – Leaving Las Vegas and the Liberty Movement
Kelly and Kari have arrived in Prague, and now that they’ve had some time to reflect on their experiences at FreedomFest (and the experience of others – they received dozens of messages from other women in libertarianism outlining similar experiences with misogyny). Ultimately, Kari decides that she can no longer be part of a movement that tolerates disrespecting women to such an extensive degree. After 15 years in the liberty movement, it seems like a big decision – but it’s definitely time to move on.

Ep 40 – What Happens at FreedomFest in Vegas (Doesn’t Stay in Vegas)

Ep 40 – What Happens at FreedomFest in Vegas (Doesn’t Stay in Vegas)
Kari and Kelly are in Las Vegas for the FreedomFest conference, which apparently draws quite the male chauvinist crowd. The ladies detail their experiences at the conference – both Kari and Kelly were approached by different men at the conference, who asked the ladies to prostitute themselves. One man is the president of a libertarian think tank (he offered to fly Kelly to exotic locations in exchange for sex), the other is a fairly large donor (he asked Kari if she’d like to be his escort for the night). This was a first for both Kari and Kelly, and it was horrifying for them to be treated that way. The ladies discuss their experiences with men in the liberty movement, and talk about #MeToo talks in hotel rooms with other women. There seems to be a real problem with the behavior of men in the libertarian space, and when the ladies host a “get ready” party for Steve Forbes’ 70th birthday gala, the other women in the hotel room shared their experiences, as well. There were stories of domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking and general misogyny – this happens everywhere, but it seems to be especially bad in the liberty movement. Women don’t feel comfortable coming forward because the men in question are high profile, and/or have thousands of “alt-right” followers. These men are invited to speak at conferences and events, where they draw in more like-minded assholes. This is why there aren’t more female libertarians, and why we can’t have nice things. The ladies discuss why they think it’s worse in the libertarian space, and what people can do to turn around the increasingly toxic culture that exists. First, other men need to start checking each other. Second, the liberty movement should shrink the size of its tent – the alt-right and Red Pill types shouldn’t be tolerated. As a result of the gross behavior they were subjected to at FreedomFest, the ladies won’t return to the conference next year – and Kari might leave the liberty movement entirely.

Ep 39 – Desert Road Trip to Bury our Dear Friend Dom (Bucket list #8-9)

Ep 39 – Desert Road Trip to Bury our Dear Friend Dom (Bucket list #8-9)
Kari and Kelly are back from hiatus and coming in hot from the Paris hotel and resort in Las Vegas – they're in town for FreedomFest, a libertarian conference. In this episode, the ladies talk about about two bucket list items they crossed off on the way there: road tripping from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and burying their dear friend Dom in the desert. The ladies rent a fancy car, and inspired by the movie Fandango (starring THE Kevin Costner), they get a shovel and start digging a hole in the Mojave Desert to put Dom in. The plan is to come back and dig her up, but only if one of three things happens first. This brings Kelly and Kari to talk about setting intentions, and what it means for them. This Workationing adventure started with the desire to live more intentionally, and the ladies aren’t done yet. They outline their intentions over the next several months, including losing more weight and getting more serious about their dating game (they both have hot Tinder dates lined up for Amsterdam). Kari and Kelly touch on the subject of polyamory, their concerns about that particular type of relationship arrangement and whether or not they'd consider being polyamorous with partners in the future.

Ep 38 – We Lost 105 Pounds!

Ep 38 – We Lost 105 Pounds!
In a time and place when you can lose weight from anywhere, two ladies in their mid-to-late 27s have decided to – and so far, Kelly and Kari have lost over 100 pounds this year (combined). The ladies have received many emails about their weight loss journey, and in this episode they talk about how they managed to lose the weight equivalent of a chubby fifth grader. Kelly’s about to get a full feature in Women’s Health for her efforts! Traveling the world while working as digital nomads, you’d think it would be harder to lose weight than at home – this isn’t the case. Kari and Kelly talk about how their travels have influenced their weight loss, and how living intentionally has made all the difference. Both Kari and Kelly have tried (unsuccessfully) to lose weight in the past, and they talk about what makes this time different and how they both got fat in the first place. Also, can somebody do a wellness check on America? There’s a reason we’re so fat as a country, and the ladies suspect it has something to do with depression, a lazy lifestyle and a dash of self loathing. Abroad, people are generally fit – and even with the weight loss, the ladies still have a ways to go before they’re “European skinny” instead of “American skinny.” The weight loss journey has been far from perfect, and has been peppered with nachos and fries with mayo. Still, Kari and Kelly are crushing their weight loss goals and Kelly is on track to lose 100 lbs (by herself!) by the end of the year.
