Meet the Hosts

We’re Jonathan and Aariel, a married couple, creative partners, and co-hosts of the Breadcrumbs Podcast.

From the moment we met, it was clear we had something rare—shared values, artistic passions, and life journeys marked by both resilience and reflection. We were both parents. Both published authors. And both had been through deep personal transformation before finding each other. As our relationship grew, so did our desire to not only build a meaningful life together—but to share what we were learning along the way.

Over the years, we've celebrated huge milestones (including our marriage!) and navigated some incredibly difficult challenges, like a three-year custody battle. Through it all, we made a choice: to keep growing, together. We set goals. We stayed curious. And we had countless conversations about what it takes to build a life that feels joyful, conscious, and aligned.

Breadcrumbs was born from those conversations.

This podcast is where we share the insights, missteps, and “breadcrumbs” we’ve found on the path to living fully—in love, parenting, creativity, healing, and beyond. It’s not a roadmap. It’s a journey. And we’re still walking it.

We invite fellow parents, deep thinkers, creatives, and seekers to join us as we explore what it really means to live a fulfilling life—one breadcrumb at a time.

When we’re not recording, you’ll find us hiking, camping, traveling, cooking, parenting, or working on new creative projects.
