Friends from Wild Places

Business Owner Professionals and entrepreneurs from all over the world come to speak to me and tell me why they do what they do and their vision. I feature a Non-profit Org to spread awareness. I share bookkeeping tips and stories from my life as a business owner. Inspiring other business owners by showing the wild hearts of entrepreneurs and how they cannot be tamed. And just to chat, laugh, and enjoy one another.

Shireen approaches business and life, in general, through the lens of wanting to multiply the light in the world. Whether client, colleague, or friend, she has a special understanding of people. Separate from bookkeeping, her Friends From Wild Places podcast serves as a platform for connection where business owners can share their work and life experiences and even their wild hearts and passions in a safe space. The podcast also allows entrepreneurs to share about nonprofits that have special meaning for them.

Barb Herrera

I'm Barb Herrera, a retired midwife who has struggled with my weight since I was 7 years old. 2.5 years ago, I weighed 405 pounds and today I weigh 145 pounds, all with using the GLP-1s Trulicity and now Mounjaro. My life has been transformed and I am on a mission to show those of any size that there is hope. From bedridden for a decade to my morning walks of 5 miles, I've been able to do this with medication and a LOT of hard work, I am in a life I never knew was possible! Through my blog and my YouTube channel, I share what life was like before and what joy I have now. I coach folks who are hesitant or have questions about the medications and the plethora of life changes necessary to begin living in a way many of us never knew was possible.
