Finding Sparkle Chasing Light

After watching a documentary this week, I was reminded of my own story of being catfished. At the time I was so embarrassed and ashamed that I didn't reveal the entire story to anyone... until now. I also introduce a new segment called The Rabbithole where I bring you down whatever rabbithole I've gone down - this week it's a "where are the Love Is Blind season 2 stars now?!" And, I finish it off with a basic lesson about Virgos as we enter their season! I hope you enjoy.

Special thanks, as always, to Lucas for helping write, produce, and edit this podcast. And of course, a shout out to Mike Halyk for composing the music you hear.

You should absolutely check out Untold: The Girlfriend Who Didn't Exist. Watch the trailer HERE. And be sure to watch Manti T'eo's instagram video as well. He is such a great human.

And if you were a fan of Love Is Blind (season 2) like I was, and If you haven't watched the trailer for After the Altar, you can HERE.

Don't forget to follow along and join the community on instagram at @findingsparklechasinglight. See you next week!

Have you ever had an experience that left you feeling like the biggest failure ever, but with time and clarity you’re able to see the silver lining? And that maybe it was even the best thing to happen to you? This week we explore the theme of failure and I share one of my greatest public failure stories: the time I tried to work for Ellen DeGeneres.

I wasn’t going to attach the link here (out of pure embarrassment) but I’m going for it. Watch my Ellen video here.

Do yourself a favour and follow Maddie Zahm on Instagram, TikTok, and of course listen to her EP “You Might Not Like Her” on Spotify and Apple Music. And cry like me during her video “You Might Not Like Her.”

I’m teasing the FSCL merch this week, and some polls and question boxes for future episodes of the show, so please follow @findingsparklechasinglight on instagram. And of course, if you have the capacity to leave a podcast review on Apple or Spotify it means a great deal to me. Thank you so much!

This week I’m chatting about a bit about myself in my first solo episode - turns out you want to know more about who I am and my life story, which is fun! I’m also sharing a pretty personal, but beautiful, story about the universe giving me a sign when I really needed it. I hope it inspires you to trust in the universe, too. I’m also sharing a new segment called “Late to the Party” which couldn’t be more fitting for me, haha!

Oh, and last week I ended the podcast singing a tune and couldn’t remember how I knew it. I was right, it was from an Olsen twin movie, specifically Mary-Kate and Ashley’s Ballet Party. Listen to Butterflies in Your Stomach here.

If you’d like to watch a few of my Daily Vice pieces I mentioned in the episode, you can check them out here.

And don’t forget to follow my new favourite human EVER: the one and only Dylan Mulvaney. Follow her on TikTok too! I also found a couple cool facts about her on her website, and on this E News online piece.

You can also see a couple owl pictures from the story on the blog here.

As always, thank you for being here! If you’d like to stay in touch between episodes, you can follow me at @findingsparklechasinglight (DM your universe stories here!) or @nicolebreanne.

I am kicking things off with the help of my husband, Lucas! We chat about the story behind the podcast, my personal quest that led to choosing the title, Finding Sparkle Chasing Light, and what I hope to achieve through this new platform.

Special thanks to my husband Lucas for recording with me, and learning to edit just so he could help me! He’s actually a talented designer and you can check out his instagram and website to support!

I’d also like to thank Mike Halyk for composing the music for the podcast!

Oh, and the song I sing at the end totally is from a Mary-Kate and Ashley movie: watch the video here
