Coffee Talks With Bella

At the start of last September, I set out to discover if there was any truth to this the somewhat cliche "every day isn't good but there is good in every day" saying. That and to try and change my attitude from a negative Nelly to a positive Polly (I know shocking). To do so I challenged myself to write down some happy things every day for a year and now that the year is up I wanna talk about. Hear my reflections, lessons learned, and insight into this challenge, and when you can, try it yourself! 

Ok, so real talk and no offense to landlords but I would say coffee and I enjoy them as much as decaf coffee, bugs, and PDA. So this episode we are sharing stories about some of our past landlords, providing some unsolicited advice, and ranting away. 

To those landlords out there who are kind-hearted and good humans -  please disregard this episode and know that I appreciated you and will gladly be on your tenants. 

Did you know that are ten quintillion bugs roaming this beautiful planet? If you are anything like me hearing that fact makes you wanna scream because bugs, insects, or whatever you wanna call them are the absolute worse. On this episode, me and my cup of Lyon's tea will be ranting about all things bugs because they are truly are so annoying and something needs to be done about them!

On this episode coffee and I are talking about acts of kindness and moments in our lives in which people have positively impacted it. Join us if you wanna feel inspired to be a kinder human or you just need some positive vibes.

This pandemic has taken a lot of incredible opportunities away including kids and young people working and attending summer camps across the world. On this episode, coffee and I are talking about some of the things that camp taught me having worked there for years and discuss how it changed my life. 

Please ensure you give this a download as for every download on it, I will be donating a dollar to the two amazing camps that I worked at and that I hold very near and dear to my heart. They are in the business of betteing the lives of young people and unfortunately due to the current pandemic are being hit hard #Savecanadiancamps. 

Previously coffee and I chatted about some good surprises that we have had done to us, that we have been apart and have heard about on social media. On this episode we are doing the opposite and diving into a discussion about bad surprises and the ones we hope to never happen again, to us or anyone. 

If you have listened to previous episodes of the podcast before you may have heard me say "I will definitely talk about _______ on a later episode".  In honor of this being the 20th episode, I have decided to listen back to old ones and figure out what exactly I was going to talk about and provide an update on my take on some of the topics. I have some new red flags, a PDA story and much more.

More than a punctuation these suckers are an almost death sentence that occurs every single month for so many women across the world. On this episode, we are diving into the experience that is having periods, the bad, the awful, and the horror. I share my own story, do some ranting, and share some suggestions that I have to improve them as I try to end the stigma. 

Do you play basketball? How about volleyball or rowing? How is the weather up there? These are all questions that I have been asked throughout my life and on this episode coffee and I decided to answer them. So join us as we chat about some of the pros and cons of being a tall(er) girl.

Surprises happen around the world each and every day, some are good, some are bad and some just go oh so horribly. In this episode, coffee and I are chatting about some of the good surprises that have happened to us and that we have seen both in person or on video.
