Ep. 26: And….pause. That is our topic for today’s episode. While I aim to support and serve you high-performing working parents out there through talk about setting big goals, crushing them, how to push boundaries and limits, and being the most organized version of yourself…today, we’re going to explore tackling ALL of that, but through the lens of pausing.

Ep. 25: I love working with people who are smarter than me. In both a work and personal capacity, that means surrounding myself with people who know things I don’t; or know things better than I do. Today, I’m breaking down a tonne of different professionals who have supported me on my life and career journey to optimize my mind, body and soul. I’ll dive into coaches and consultants I have worked with, paramedical services that I swear by (aka the people who you can hire and then expense through your health benefits) and many more. I’ve kissed a lot of frogs, and I’m excited to share my experience with you today.

Scotty is a soon-to-be father of two, the best husband in the world (I’m biased), and an avid DM’er of funny content. From 2019 to 2021, he went through one hell of a health journey, which included 8 cardiac-related surgeries bringing his lifetime total to 11. And these latest health challenges all happened as we were pregnant with our first child, and continued well into the newborn days.

In his career, Scotty is a marketer with over 15 years of experience working for some of Canada’s top advertising agencies and brands. He has pivoted in his career and now works for himself parachuting into organizations to provide marketing expertise.
