In the premiere episode of Stop Wasting Your Life, host Ava Heinbach is joined by her best friend Raneem Alasmi, who flips the script and interviews Ava herself. Ava opens up about why she started this podcast — a deeply personal journey of figuring out how to live a fulfilling, intentional life. She shares her passion for mental health, anxiety awareness, adventure, and building a life that feels meaningful. The episode highlights authenticity, embracing vulnerability, and choosing the "harder" path to create a life you're excited to wake up to. Along the way, we hear about Ava and Raneem's friendship (including a wild pasta-making night gone wrong in Florence), and what listeners can expect from the show — including inspiring interviews, practical advice, giveaways (like a trip to Hawaii!), and more.
