We’re back with the last episode of our four-part series featuring our special guest and amazing storyteller, Kevin Ball.
If you missed Parts 1 through 3, you might want to go back and listen to those now. Kevin ran away from home at age 15, hitchhiked from Chicago to California, and then on to Seattle where he joined his first carnival. and then stayed working carnivals for the next almost 2 years before finally returning home to Chicago and a cool welcome from the nasty stepfather who Kevin left to avoid in the first place. It was pretty clear to him that going home wasn’t an option, so three days after his 17 birthday, he joined the Navy and that’s where we find him in the first story he shares today. - Join us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/howinthehelldidIgethere/ - Follow us on Instagram @kimaflodin or @howinthehellpodcast - Share your love for the show with financial support! https://buymeacoffee/thecoloringbookcoach - Subscribe to my other podcast: How to Fall in Love with Yourself TOOLKIT - Thank you YouTube Free Music Audio Library & Silent Partner for our theme song, 7th Floor Tango and ad music, Blue Skies https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCht8qITGkBvXKsR1Byln-wA
Welcome back to Part 3 of our 4-Part Series we’re calling Secrets of a Runaway Carnival Worker featuring our special guest Kevin Ball.
If you missed Part 1 and 2, please go back and listen to those now. Kevin Ball’s stories from his runaway adventures at 15 just don’t quit… this week he tells us about a night he spent in jail and he goes a lot deeper into what life was like for him after he started working carnivals in the mid-’70s. A reminder that we recorded these stories during a long virtual happy hour. We had four out of five sisters and a couple of brothers-in-law who floated in and out, which explains some of the sound quality. - Join us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/howinthehelldidIgethere/ - Follow us on Instagram @kimaflodin or @howinthehellpodcast - Share your love for the show with financial support! https://buymeacoffee/thecoloringbookcoach - Subscribe to my other podcast: How to Fall in Love with Yourself TOOLKIT - Thank you YouTube Free Music Audio Library & Silent Partner for our theme song, 7th Floor Tango and ad music, Blue Skies https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCht8qITGkBvXKsR1Byln-wA

Kevin Ball has stories that leave people saying, “no way, that sounds like something you’d see in a movie!" and we’re so happy he agreed to sit down with me, Kari, Jenny, and Erin on a recent marathon zoom happy hour.
In this four-episode series, he takes us from running away from home in the 70’s when he was just 15, joining and working carnivals for almost two years as a runaway and then joining the navy at 17 and becoming an aviation anti-submarine warfare operator. Currently, Kevin works in the film industry as a Key Grip and has for 30 years and we hope to have him on in future episodes to tell some of those crazy stories, but let’s start where we are… with Kevin’s interesting stories about leaving home, the carnival, and joining the navy. These stories were recorded during a fun marathon zoom happy hour attended by four out of five sisters with some of the brothers-in-law and rotating in and out, which explains the sound quality and some of the hubbub you might hear in the background. - Join us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/howinthehelldidIgethere/ - Follow us on Instagram @kimaflodin or @howinthehellpodcast - Share your love for the show with financial support! https://buymeacoffee/thecoloringbookcoach - Subscribe to my other podcast: How to Fall in Love with Yourself TOOLKIT - Thank you YouTube Free Music Audio Library & Silent Partner for our theme song, 7th Floor Tango and ad music, Blue Skies https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCht8qITGkBvXKsR1Byln-wA
In these times of quarantine and social and physical distancing and all that’s going on, I’m not going to lie, it’s been tough for myself and I’m sure for anyone who can’t be with the people they love most when a loved one passes. In our case, this is what happened when Crazy Larry also known as Dad, died last month on March 25. There’s been no funeral, no way to get together, other than on Zoom, no way to sit in a crowd and share funny stories and sing and listen to his favorite songs, no way to gather together at all and, frankly, it sucks.
If you’ve heard any of these stories before now, you know that Crazy Larry earned his name for a reason…we also called him Yosemite Sam and as much as we loved him and put up with him… he was a complicated person and a loose cannon… you just never knew who you were going to get with him, which kept us all on our toes. Since today would have been Crazy Larry’s 80th birthday and in honor of him, we’ve pulled together this collection of stories for your listening enjoyment. - Join us on Facebook! https://www.facebook.com/groups/howinthehelldidIgethere/ - Follow us on Instagram @kimaflodin or @howinthehellpodcast - Share your love for the show with financial support! https://buymeacoffee/thecoloringbookcoach - Subscribe to my other podcast: How to Fall in Love with Yourself TOOLKIT - Thank you YouTube Free Music Audio Library & Silent Partner for our theme song, 7th Floor Tango and ad music, Blue Skies https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCht8qITGkBvXKsR1Byln-wA Do you struggle with your weight loss goals? Do you find yourself yo-yo-ing up and down the scale? Could you use some inspiration, motivation, and real-life stories about people who have successfully lost weight and kept it off? If so, then today’s podcast is for you! How in the HELL did I get here is proud to present Slimming Stories around the world, a podcast produced and hosted by my friend and fellow podcaster, Claire Oldum-West. Claire is an accessible and honest host who loves discussing the journey of weight loss and committing to a fitness regime. Claire, herself was stuck in a rut and struggled with a cycle of losing and gaining weight. In 2018, she created Slimming Stories around the world because she knew she wasn’t alone in her weight loss challenges and she felt called to join with others who had similar struggles. As you’ll hear in this podcast, transformation stories and conversations about weight loss are two of Claire’s favorite thing. She believes a great transformation story proves that long-term weight gain can be lost, and when you hear others discuss their challenges, it reassures everyone that they are not alone. I’m not going to lie, this is a very motivational and inspiring podcast! Be sure to subscribe to Slimming stories around the world wherever you listen to your podcasts, and if you enjoy it, please leave her a review on Apple iTunes. And, don’t forget to follow Claire on Instagram and join her Facebook group. Enjoy this special episode of Slimming stories around the world featuring Claire and her guest who lost almost 200 pounds! It’s quite a story! Notes about this episode: Has your doctor ever encouraged you to improve your health by losing a few pounds? If so you will be able to relate to Aoife Larking my guest on this week’s podcast. It’s fair to say that Aoife’s doctor cut straight to the point when announcing that if Aoife didn’t do anything about her eating habits that her friends and family would be carrying her out in a box! Harsh, shocking words that hit home to Aoife that shook Aoife into taking action and finding sanctuary with Slimming World. Aoife was 25 stone 9lb when she stepped on the scales at her 1st weigh-in and has had an astonishing weight loss of 14 stone 10lb. Aoife's weight loss and her mobility around the stairs in her home resulted in a fall midway through her weight loss journey but this didn’t stop Aoife. After falling on her staircase suffering a break to her pelvis, tailbone and fractured femur Aoife didn’t give in and the weight loss continued. A walking challenge came Aoife’s way and with improved fitness, she agreed after all Aoife explained: “it was just a walk”. Aoife had, in fact, agreed to climb the highest mountain in Ireland “Carrauntoohill”, and with no training, after all, it was just a walk Aoife well and truly conquered the mountain! From feeling breathless after walking 3 steps of her staircase to thousands of steps Aoife has come such a long way in more ways than one. Another wonderful lady sharing her story to inspire you into taking action….what are you waiting for! Slimming Stories podcast is produced by Claire Oldham - West and you can follow Slimming Stories on Instagram: @sw_slimmingstories_podcast Slimming Stories is also a Facebook Group.

Today’s show features Jenny, or as you may have heard us refer to her as ...“don’t F with the Jenny”. She has stories that span from grade school to adulthood and include everything from getting giggly in college with Skye, a case of ironic revenge, the shame she experienced with a piece of cheese, and scaring the crap out of our parents.
