Being told you're medically clear isn't the same as feeling healed. In this episode we get honest about life after cancer: the emotional whiplash when treatment ends, the urge to rush into everything you think you missed, and how hard it is to slow down and enjoy the life you have now. We also talk about changing your mind about home and identity, why accepting help after cancer can be so hard, and how to feel grateful for today while staying open to what comes next. The struggle is real, and you're not alone in it.

The Struggle Is Real

What if the life you're waiting for is the one you're already living? In this episode we dig into why 'living for the weekend' quietly costs you most of your actual life — and what to do about it. We cover how to make ordinary weekdays feel meaningful, the 'tourist in your own town' trick for rediscovering everyday magic, and why so many of us struggle to name the things we actually love outside of our phones and routines. Plus: building small family rituals that protect your joy, and a simple challenge to close out the week — name five things you love, and do one of them before Monday.

It's Just Tuesday

Most of us drift through life on autopilot until something forces us awake. In this episode we unpack why we started before we felt ready, the real cost of living reactively, and what it takes to choose your work and your days more intentionally.  We get into what First Hour is and why building a brand around intentional living matters, then turn the lens back on you: who would you be if you gave yourself permission to be anyone? Someday is not a plan — so we close with a practical 30-day challenge to help you take your life back, one morning at a time.  Chapters: 00:00 Why We Started Before We Felt Ready 01:26 The Cost of Living on Autopilot 04:49 What Happens When Life Forces You Awake 08:46 Choosing Work and Daily Life More Intentionally 10:51 What Is First Hour and Why Does It Matter? 13:38 Building a Brand Around Intentional Living 16:22 How to Take Your Life Back in Practice 20:27 Someday Is Not a Plan 21:36 Closing Thoughts and the 30-Day Challenge

Wake Up for Something: Choosing an Intentional Life

Episode 1: GUT PUNCH Love fiercely. This all ends. In our first episode, we're taking you back to 2002, when we first met, fell in love, broke up, and went our separate ways. Twenty years later, a little tequila, some Instagram stalking, and five words on an Instagram post brought us back into each other's lives. We're sharing the story of our reconnection, the very different lives we'd built, and the experiences that changed the way we think about love, time, and what really matters. It's the story behind This Side of Someday, the inspiration for First Hour, and the realization that someday isn't guaranteed. Welcome to This Side of Someday with Julie and Trina. Wake up for something.

Gut Punch

In this episode of Choose Again, we explore the power of intentional choice — how the decisions we revisit shape who we become, and why giving ourselves permission to choose differently is one of the most freeing things we can do.

THIS SIDE OF SOMEDAY

with Trina & Julie



What if you stopped waiting for someday and started building a life you actually love?

Welcome to This Side of Someday, where we talk about choosing again, loving fiercely, and waking up for something.

We're Trina and Julie. Two women who learned that life is far too short to spend it waiting for the right time, the perfect circumstances, or permission to change your mind.

From relationships and reinvention to entrepreneurship, family, and the beautifully messy business of everyday life, we're having honest conversations about what happens when you stop living on autopilot and start living intentionally.

Expect real stories, a little humor, uncomfortable truths, and plenty of reminders that you get to decide what happens next.

Because someday isn't a destination. And the life you keep talking about? You can start living it now.

Welcome to this side of someday.

Wake up for something.
