Trash the Checklist
by Yolanda Holloway and Tiffany Byrd
Adulting and the expectations associated with it can be daunting. Trash the Checklist is a no-pressure-added discussion facilitated by best friends, family women, and 20+ year career professionals, Tiffany Byrd and Yolanda Holloway. The hosts have spent their lives blindly adhering to set expectations, so they bring a realistic perspective to discussions that will help listeners become more comfortable with exploring alternatives to always doing what’s expected. Trash the Checklist is for women who want to define their own intimate relationships and families, careers, educational paths, finances, and even what to do on their "off" time-- to begin to make their own rules, and to set their own terms for success and happiness in everyday life.
