What would you do when the industry you've dedicated your life to suddenly tanked? This is what happened to thousands of people in the oil and gas industry who were suddenly laid off and left without jobs or had their hours drastically cut back.

Out of devastation in one chapter comes a new chapter in the story told of how 6IX Cycle came to be, and one woman's decision to start anew in the name of happiness. Her name is Julie Harrish Chief Idea Officer of 6IX Cycle Toronto and she's making waves not only in how she runs her business but in her steadfast commitment to listening to her heart.

"Great grief means great love”. Those were the words that the Shaman told me the next morning while we all sat together in the common area finishing our breakfast of local fresh fruits and oatmeal. It was a long and intense first night towards a powerful step to healing myself with Ayahuasca. I had cried what seemed gallons of tears as my body purged the pain that was buried in me. The grieving process was a dark hole that I desperately wanted to climb out of.

I had never lost anyone close to me before. My Grandparents passed when I was young, and my parents are still thankfully alive and well. How could one possibly be equipped to lose someone they were just getting ready to spend the rest of their life with?

No one is.

All I wanted to know was when would the pain end? When would I be “OK”?

When will I be happy again?

How can I get through the day without medicating myself?

When every day feels like an eternity of pain. It’s hard to see the light at the tunnel.

The only way towards that light was with deep self-care, love, and patience.

In this episode, I speak about my journey through grief, the steps I took to heal myself and how grief can help make you #unfuckwithable

The biggest challenge facing fitness professionals today
What he's learned from his failures
The best advice he's ever received

I have so much love for all the ways social media has been able to connect me to people all over the world, meet new friends, grow my business, and hell, even reconnect me with the man that I would eventually marry.

But anything this powerful should be given respect, and a double-edged sword should be handled carefully. As many benefits that these amazing apps bring, there are many downsides of being on social media TOO much. Depression, social isolation, and the dark rabbit hole of comparison. While we do get some noteworthy posts from different social media influencers shedding light on the "REAL VS INSTAGRAM", those posts are forgotten as quickly as the next thumb swipe....and the vicious cycle continues.

As someone who has to be on social media all day every day, you can bet I get my fill. It takes work but it's not impossible to stop the self sabotaging narrative that pops up when you're wondering why you don't have "X" or you're not "Z".

I speak about how to avoid going down the rabbit hole of comparison on social media in this episode with some of my best tips.

Is it time you stopped drinking?

Perhaps you've pondered how your life would be if you didn't succumb to that bottle of wine on the weekends or regretted having just one too many that lead to the next morning being a write-off. Again swearing off alcohol, at least until the next social event you had to attend.

If you find yourself curious to how giving up alcohol can not only, of course, improve your health but help develop deeper relationships while giving you the edge in business you'll want to listen to Episode 12 of Becoming Unf*@kwithable. .

I speak with Entrepreneur and Author of Better Than The Binge - Adam Lamb about his powerful story behind giving up alcohol and the edge it's given his life both personally and professionally.

Spending a weekend with a vegetarian and vegan got myself thinking about my current dinner choices. Since I am so new to the lifestyle and slowly eliminating animal products from my diet, I had to find a brain to pick that comes from the same bodybuilding lifestyle. Enter Robert Cheeke...
