Hi y'all, I'm Kristen, and welcome to Everything Counts But Nothing Is Real. This is a podcast about work, life, and the messy places in between, where we chase careers, change directions, and sometimes wonder if any of it actually matters. Spoiler, it does. Everything we do counts, even when we feel completely off track. Each week, I'll talk with people about their winding career journeys. Teachers turn to Airbnb hosts, artists turn developers, and corporate recruiters who started in reality TV casting. We'll get into the funny, absurd, and feminist truths about the realities of work. We'll ask questions like: what is a tiny choice that changed everything? What's the most absurd task you've ever been asked to do? And how do you keep going when nothing feels real? This is a space for humor, honesty, and a reminder that your path doesn't always have to make sense for it to be worth something. So if you've ever felt stuck, off track, or like you're the only one making it up as you go, this podcast is for you. Subscribe to Everything Counts, but nothing is real wherever you get your podcasts.
