In this episode I am joined by the lovely St. Clair Detrick-Jules, the author of "Dear Khloe: Love Letters to My Little Sister". She created this book out of inspiration to teach her little sister how to love her natural hair, regardless of what society says. 

*This episode was recorded remotely and there were some glitches/overlapping in the audio at times. I tried my best to edit it but I apologize for any inconvenience to your listening experience.

In this episode we discuss:

This book will be available online in May 2020. St. Clair will be hosting events in various cities following the release (you know, once we're able to socialize again!)

In this episode I am joined by investment advisor and the Think Space Podcast host, Joss Biggins. Joss shares his childhood experiences of growing up in Hornby, going into foster care, playing basketball in Denmark and becoming a investment advisor. All of which I think has made him into the wise person he is today.

We also discuss ethical investing, validation and perception on Instagram, self-awareness, what fuels our motivation and where our confidence to go out and learn comes from.

The books Joss mentions in this episode are:

-“Stealing Fire” by Steven Kotler

-“The Third Door” by Alex Banayan

The podcast episode I mentioned where Joss is a guest, is the Twenty Something Podcast episode:

In this solo episode I discuss the book I've been reading recently; "Your Sacred Self" by Wayne W. Dyer. The chapter that this episode is based on is "Cultivate the Witness" (starting at page 121) which is a powerful method that will aid in you becoming more in control of your emotions and your thoughts. I quote heavily from this book and highly recommend reading the full book.

Thanks for listening!

In this episode I am joined by my good friend Robyn Ross. I've known her for a few years but it feels like a lifetime (in the best way). She's like a second mother with endless wisdom, humour and stories. Naturally when we get together we talk...a LOT. Always about meaningful topics, I promise... basically this episode is a result of that!

We discuss a variety of topics:

- The best concerts she's ever been to and who she'd like to see now

- Her biggest accomplishment in life

- Motherhood and breaking the cycle of toxic parenting

- NYC vs LA vs Vancouver

- Her confidence in her 20s vs now 

- Being a go-getter in Vancouver / how to stay motivated

- Robyn's acting and makeup artistry careers

- The love of her life and love letters

- Rebellious streaks and 'disappointing' your parents

- Me being late to the dating game and Robyn's view on why that isn't necessarily a bad thing

- The benefits of having friends of different generations

- Learning lessons from shitty situations

- How Robyn defines success

- Instagram "Narcissist" culture and the Khardasians

The IG accounts Robyn recommended (that she mentioned in the episode) were:

In this episode I am joined by my friend Lachlan. He’s one of my favourite people that I’ve met in the movie industry due to his vibrant personality and sense of humour.

Over the years he’s been making moves in the film industry. He started with background work, then became a production assistant, and now works in the costume department. He talks about these experiences, including being Kelly Rowland’s costumer (!!!).

We also discuss his reality show experience; being a contestant on “The Whole Package”. Lachlan shares what he learned from his first heartbreak and we talk about when it’s time to take a step back from friendships.

In this episode I am joined by my friend/ co-worker Felicia. We sat down to talk a variety of topics. Felicia talks about the random jobs she’s had and working/living in Australia, and why she prioritizes travel. We discuss if we’d ever have a sugar daddy and Seeking Arrangements. We also talk a little bit about working in film, my college pro experience and if Jim Carey has gone mad or if he actually is quite the opposite. And of course we dive into dating! What it’s like in Vancouver, “the chase”, the confusing world of casual sex and the importance of being clear. To end the episode we both share a worst date story.

In this episode I am joined by Jamila Pomeroy. I followed her on Instagram a while ago and finally got to meet her in person for this episode! She describes herself as a storyteller; expressing herself both visually and through the written word. She is a writer (journalist, screenwriter, author), model, and actress. But these labels hold no boundaries with a lady who's willing to explore all mediums. We discuss how being a young woman of colour has effected her career so far. We also talk about a stereotype of being a "dumb" model. Jamila also shares her thoughts on why a diplomatic approach to diffusing controversial issues is the probably the best approach.

Thanks for listening!

In this solo episode I discuss what it's been like working as a background performer in Vancouver, Canada a.k.a. "Hollywood North". At first I explain how I got into the industry (which wasn't intentionally) and what the job itself is. Then I talk about the random unexpected lessons I've learned from being in the industry, the good and the bad, and how it's helped me grow as a person. If you have any questions, feel free to send an email.

In this episode I am joined by my eldest sister, Gift. She is a makeup artist pursuing fashion makeup. She dropped a lot of wisdom in this episode and shares some personal stories.

We discuss what moving from Scotland to Saskatoon was like for her at age 15. Then what her experience was like moving as an adult at age 21 from Saskatoon to Vancouver to pursue her dream of becoming a makeup artist. She has been to a few post secondary schools along the way.

Gift also talks about the condition endometriosis, which she has been living with for a few years now. She talks about her potentially fatal incident, her surgery and how it effects her daily life. By discussing this she hopes to spread awareness (1 in 10 women suffer from this condition) in order to help women catch early signs and get the help they need. This is a condition that is still relatively new in the medical world, and there is currently no cure for it.

Check out her art work and makeup skills on her website:
