My client/neighbor/friend joins us today to chat about her experience in the military for 25 years! She kicked ass, commanded the ships and also potty trained her cat!

We sampled (and by sampled I mean we drank the whole bottle) of a non local red wine! Yum! Wine is more fun with friends :) 

Michele is now back in school for leadership training and is an all around inspiration! I am so happy and grateful to have met her and can't wait to go to Paris with her! 

Hope you enjoyed this episode and thanks for listening!

This week we chat with the amazing Jo McFetridge from Breakwater Law in Victoria, BC. 

To start things off right, we sample a few different beverages! First one was Broken Ladder- BC Tree Fruit Cider- super sweet so if you like a sweet cider, this one is for you! https://www.bctreefruitscider.com/our-ciders/

Second was Hail Mary- Rose *Do not recommend haha

Back to Jo- during this episode Jo gives some helpful legal tips on co-habitation, getting wills together and the importance of a will, and also shares some fun facts in cantonese.....

I highly recommend the lawyers at Breakwater Law- their team is professional and knowledgeable but so laid back in a way that you will instantly feel comfortable with them and working together with them will be a breeze! I have nothing but amazing things to say about this firm so if you are in need of a contract, will, divorce, anything family related- go chat with them and they will make your life so much easier! 

I learned so many things about Jo in this episode so I hope you love it as much as we did!! Thanks for listening and make sure to go check out www.breakwaterlaw.ca

This episode is a special one for me! My past clients (and friends) Lisa and Tara join us to tell you all about their Boudoir Experience with Vintage Chic Portrait, in Victoria BC. 

But first, we sample Apple Cinnamon Crumble Vodka Spirit- SO good! Tastes like an apple pie (without the sugar and add vodka!) 

To find out more check out https://www.wizespirits.com/our-flavours.html#solo-series

Lisa and Tara both had a session with me last year in January. Listen as they tell their reasons why they booked, how they felt throughout the experience and what they took away from it! 

What I get to see daily in my studio is transformations, and not from drab to glam, but life transformations-from feeling less confident to feeling like an absolute queen that can take on the world. 

Hope you enjoy this episode and to find out more about what a Boudoir Experience would look like for you:

This is my first episode without my amazing co-host Robin- I was fortunate however to have a great guest with similar energy!! Join us as Virginia Ritchie, from PV Events, chats about the upcoming VICTORIA WOMEN'S EXPO coming up March 5 and 6!

We sampled GUSHING GRAPES by Jaw Drop Coolers in Van- was like a purple freezie.....yum! https://www.jawdropcocktails.com/

After the super long couple of years, an In Person event is extra exciting and all the local businesses involved would love your support so head over to www.victoriawomensexpo.com to grab YOUR tickets- it's 2 for 1 and only $5!! There will be so many amazing vendors, prizes and speakers! If you go find Virginia and mention THIS episode she will give you $10 to go shopping with so that's a WIN!! Events like this take so much behind the scene talent to put together and have run smoothly and Virginia is the QUEEN of it!! Not only is she awesome at what she does, she is a woman that will fix another woman's crown. She's just a lovely human and I am so happy I could have her on the show!! And can't wait to be apart of the expo next year- stay tuned!

 

Thanks so much for listening! xoxo Chelsea

About Ian:

Born in the UK and emigrating to Canada with his family when he was young, Ian carries with him the celtic gifts of his heritage. Always fascinated by story telling, social history,  ghosts and hauntings, Ian found himself more and more assisting friends with their ghost problems and learning much more than simply stories along the way. 

Ian is very grateful to have an incredible publisher to work with in TouchWood Editions, Ian looks forward to hearing more of your ghost stories and having the chance to share even more stories of the paranormal and things that go bump in the night. When not writing, Ian holds down a regular day job,  as well as doing guided Ghostly Walks and producing and co-hosting a podcast in Victoria, BC where he lives with his family. Ian really enjoys hearing from his readers the most.
