No Such Thing with Krysta Huber
Operation Podcast
There’s no such thing as one right way to do life. No Such Thing is a podcast hosted by Krysta Huber — marketing strategist and coach — about the overlap between work, health, and the rest of life that happens in between. Each episode is a look at how we build habits, make decisions, and lead ourselves through the parts of life that don’t fit into clean categories. Some weeks it’s something practical. Other weeks, it’s the kind of reminder that lands when you need it most — that you don’t have to burn everything down to make a change, and you don’t have to have everything figured out.
