  • Designed to Inspire EP 42 - Shannon Christensen

    It was not in her life plans to start a non-profit; she was going to be the youngest female forensic psychologist in Canada by the time she was thirty years old. She had plans to be wealthy, to have the in-ground pool and backyard she's always dreamed of, to travel with her husband and hold off on kids until she'd reached her career goals. More than anything, she had plans to make her dad proud. The future Dr. Kimmitt was well on her way to make it happen. Then she was faced with a bitter truth: Life is short.

    Listen along to hear a story of how the feelings of sadness and isolation led to how a movement was born in Kelowna that then spread throughout the nation and continues to do so! A movement that broke down the barriers of social class and that invites mamas of every socioeconomic background to join an online community. Grab a kleenex and a drink and enjoy this emotional yet inspiring story of the founder of Mamas for Mamas; Shannon Christensen. You can find Mamas for Mamas on Facebook, @mamasformamas.org, Instagram, @mamasformamas, or their website www.mamasformamas.org.

  • Designed to Inspire EP 40 - Manifest Tour

    *Please note this was recorded live at the event with many people in the background , the audio quailty reflects that, but I promise it's worth listening to! On June 16th, 2022, I had the opportunity to sit down with women at the Manifest Tour and ask them a few questions. The Manifest Tour was hosted by The Sister Brand and featured Kaitlyn Bristowe, Lisa Webb, Jess Tetu and Dr. Jody Carrington as featured speakers.

    It was an evening of wine, food, and laughter and was a room full of like minded women who are manifesting their path to success. Listen to this podcast to hear what the women attending the event had to say about manifesting and what they think about women empowerment.

This is where Carrie can help. She empowers clients to craft strong messages, feel comfortable no matter how big or small the stage, and connect with the audience whether online or in person.

    Carrie Doll merged her love of storytelling and public speaking by becoming a coach, keynote speaker and professional emcee following a 20-year career as a television news anchor.

  • Designed to Inspire EP 34 - Brenda Rosychuk

    Brenda is not usually one to talk about herself, but was once told to put herself out there, so here she is. She's a woman who carries her heart on her sleeve and her passion in her soul.

    She's been married to her handsome, supportive husband, Nathan for 9 years and they have a beautiful almost 8 year old daughter named Kamryn. They are her world, they have her heart.

    Brenda was diagnosed with a mental illness shortly after having her daughter, and quickly realized that was a gift. She also realized that taking care of her body physically was not number one, it was her brain, and she had a huge shift internally. Having the opportunity to lead women in fitness and wellness and creating wellness retreats is something she's truly grateful for, as all of the connection and drops of sweat ignites something in herself. When she sees it in another's eyes and watches their face light up, that is one of her proudest moments. It rewards her to see people smile and light up from the inside out. Empowering women and collaborating with community is where she's meant to be on her life journey. She is so grateful for the opportunity and connection.
