Find Your Joy

Ali and Dr. Carmen talk about how energy works in and around us.

About the Guest:

Dr. Carmen Carpenter is a Doctor of Chinese Medicine that graduated Valedictorian from Pacific Rim College in Victoria BC. She became interested in alternative health while studying anthropology at the University of Calgary and is now registered as a DTCM with the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine of BC.

Carmen has always had an interest in medicine from a young age, and has found a way to make it a part of her life. Through a family friend she discovered Chinese Medicine and its power to work with the individual through a holistic and integrative framework for a multitude of complex issues. She brings this mindset into every client treatment, meeting the client where they are in life. Using modalities such as acupuncture, gua sha, cupping, and diet therapy, she creates customized treatments for ailments such as anxiety, menstrual irregularities, digestion, and pain management (just to name a few).

When not in the clinic, you can often find Carmen either exploring the island or at a beach with one of the many dogs in her life!

Ali and Sarah talk about community and relationships and self discovery.

About the Guest: 

Sarah Smith is a fiercely talented Canadian singer/songwriter, known for her powerful and compelling stage performances and the bold humanity of her songwriting.

After honing her craft as a member of proto-Punk band The Joys, Sarah has spent the last 15 years as a solo artist, touring relentlessly throughout Canada, while also building a growing and deeply loyal fan base in key parts of the United States and Europe. She has been honoured with over 25 Canadian Independent industry awards for her work, and has shared the stage with some of the most respected Canadian artists of all time, including Carole Pope, Sass Jordan, Joel Plaskett, Bif Naked, as well as International acts like Melissa Etheridge, Nancy Wilson and KT Tunstall.

She has steadily released original music over the past decade, including 2023’s “Come Together”, an 18-track album which combines the sounds of Canadian Production by Mick Dalla-Vee (Randy Bachman) as well as European production by Pat Anthony (Usher).

A native of London, Ontario, Sarah recently moved to Pender Island, off the coast of mainland British Columbia where she has experienced a personal rebirth and a revitalization of her creative artistry. The balance she has rediscovered in life has translated into new and exciting creative endeavours and re- energized her desire to become an international touring artist. Sarah Smith is an artist of uncommon ability, unrivalled authenticity, who connects with all who encounter her remarkable songs and live performances.

Sarah is an inspiring advocate for mental health and well-being. She uses her platform to not only play shows, but to also share her story and support organizations like the Canadian Mental Health Association, Addictions Services of Thames Valley, My Sister’s Place, Anova, and Vanier Children’s Services. Through her social activism, Sarah is helping to make a real difference in the lives of many.

Ali and Becky talk about the amazing community of wrestlers and their fans. What it means to be a woman on this incredibly physical stage.

About the Guest: 

Becky Beech is a professional wrestler in the Pacific Northwest. Making her debut in June 2022 in Victoria, BC, she has established herself as a mainstay in 365 Pro Wrestling on Vancouver Island. Equally comfortable wrestling men and women in the squared circle, she can be found anywhere a belt, or a participation ribbon may be earned.

Becky’s alter ego is Nicole Roth, a Program Director at a local non-profit supporting adults with disabilities. A former self proclaimed “Theatre geek”, she became enamoured with independent wrestling for its over the top theatrics and storylines. No stranger to rough and tumble sports, having played Roller Derby and rugby in her adult life, a leap into the world of Professional Wrestling seemed like a marriage made in heaven of her two loves, hitting people and overacting.

Becky and Nicole are here to prove to everyone that showing up and celebrating yourself, all of yourself, is the best thing you can do.  They are here to show that participation means being afraid, being uncertain, and doing it anyway. Showing up is the first part of the battle.
