Happily Together

Adult friendships are sometimes hard and that's why we sat down with Amy Weatherly and Jess Johnston and they gave us the adult guide to building meaningful friendships in today's chaotic and crazy world.

Last week, we asked our followers (the ones who are married or have been married) what they wish someone would have told them about marriage--these are their responses.

Welcome to Happily Together with Kara and Caleb. On this podcast, we share the questions we are asking and the conversations that we are having that are helping us (and others) build a life, happily together.

On this episode, Kara and I talk about the 2021 Year In Review exercise that we did that was powerful for both of us. This year in review allowed us to see the small and big changes and themes of this past year and it made us realize how much actually did happen in our lives over the course of a year.

We all know that the leaning into discomfort is the prerequisite to growth and so we break down how we intentionally go about doing just that.

What do we do when everything falls apart? How do we create the space in our hearts and in our lives so that we can receive all that this season of life has for us? How do we say yes to a bigger life that we know deep down is possible but it requires to let go of where we are at today? All of that and more on this episode.

Friends, if there is one episode that you listen to, this would be the one. Honestly, when you grasp this concept and learn the tools and apply the work to your life, your life will change in the most unimaginable ways.

Kelsey Ramsden Full Bio:

With over fifteen years founding, scaling, and operating innovative companies across Canada and the Caribbean, Kelsey Ramsden is globally recognized for building multiple multimillion-dollar businesses. She twice earned the honor of being named Canada’s Top Female Entrepreneur and serves on the Entrepreneurship Council for the University of Western Ontario. Kelsey is a renowned thought leader and published author and holds an MBA from the Richard Ivey School of Business at the University of Western Ontario. 

Accomplishments include founding construction firm Belvedere Place Development and residential project-management company Tallus Ridge Development in British Columbia – breaking barriers in traditionally male dominated fields.

“All my life I was the organizer and hub in the spoke of many circles,”“That’s how my MBA world met my psychedelic world.”

 As President and CEO of MINDCURE, Ramsden is banking on a different kind of wealth: mental.  

“There are folks making compounds, folks getting clinical data, folks doing great work in these areas….but I see mental wealth – that’s the investment in ourselves and our body from the neck up – as a market that can be held and served in a revolutionary and integrated way.”

MINDCURE’S mission is to identify and develop products that ease suffering, increase productivity, and enhance mental health. It was born, in part, as a response to the mental health crisis and the need to find effective treatments in areas beyond psychiatry. These include digital therapeutics, neuro-supports, and psychedelics. 

 Referring to MINDCURE as the Netflix of Mental Health, Ramsden cites that the company’s digital therapeutics platform iSTRYM has parallel qualities, constantly optimizing and customizing to provide predictive, personalized recommendations.

“Our tech is more deliberate than others’ and at scale, I believe we will have the largest psychedelic repository of human experience data -- which means we can shorten the time it takes to heal.”

With a psychedelic Renaissance underway, Ramsden finds herself a pioneer on a frontier (again) – and with the most precious of commodities. “We have one mind,” she said. “It’s our greatest asset.”
