March 05, 2019 Episode 11 - Jealousy and Envy (How to Convert It Into Something Useful)
In this mini-episode, I discuss how feelings of jealousy and envy held me back in life, but also how I used it to figure out what I needed to do next. Feelings can show you a lot about yourself if you take the time to be aware and analyze your thoughts. I talk about how we need to nip jealous comments/behaviour/thoughts in the bud because (not to be cliché but) negative energy gets you nowhere!! :)

February 25, 2019 Episode 10 - Lauren, Let's Talk Anxiety
In this episode I sit down with my lovely friend Lauren, a South-African immigrant, to talk about one of her biggest challenges; anxiety. We discuss how we truly feel about the "Bell Let's Talk" day, our experiences with panic attacks, and why we hate float tanks. We also talk about our recent travels and how the experience made us feel like different people. I touch on a breathing problem I've had for years and a weird solution, and we end the episode with a bit of advice for listeners. We hope Lauren's honesty and her methods to help ease her anxiety help anyone out there who is battling with their anxiety feel less alone.

February 17, 2019 Episode 9 - How Antonio Handled a Life-Changing Event
In this episode I am joined by Antonio Cordero. He is currently a writer, director and actor in-the-making. In this episode he discusses his life as a child actor, and his other passion in life; becoming a pilot. However the main focus of this episode is the event that put his pilot license on hold: a brief episode of psychosis caused by medication that sent him to the psychiatric ward.
He talks about how he doesn’t view it as a setback, but as an event that shaped who he is today. Luckily he had his now fiancé Courtney by his side.
We also discuss how removing yourself from toxic family situations is necessary, and relationship advice! I find this an admirable story and I’m honoured to have Antonio as a guest.

February 15, 2019 Episode 8 - "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay (An Exercise for Forgiving Yourself and Your Parents)
In this episode I talk about an exercise from page 72 of the book "You Can Heal Your Life" by Louise Hay. This exercise is very emotional and I recommend you doing it when you have privacy, or with someone you can really trust to be vulnerable around. I believe that we can forget that our parents are really just grown-up children who have also been hurt and have also been 'figuring it out as we go along' as we all do. I really do think that this exercise helps to heal any wounds we have when it comes to ourselves and our parents, as it helps us to see them from a different perspective.

February 10, 2019 Episode 7 - Black Hair & Beauty Standards with Ralitsa & Ashleica
In this episode I am joined by my friends Ralitsa and Ashleica. They are both amazing singers (check our their work!) and overall amazing people. We all work in the film industry as background performers, and in this episode we discuss our experience on a tv show that required us to be au naturel. Growing up in London, Montreal and Scotland, we talk about our experiences growing up as black females, and some experiences now. I talk about how my black mother’s self-esteem effected me. We also dive a bit into dating as a black woman (interracial dating and dating within the race) and natural hair transitions. It's mostly from a humorous perspective, so you're guaranteed to laugh a little ;)
We start the episode by answering three random questions:
-Do you possess any of the qualities of your astrological sign?
- What one goal do you hope to accomplish this year?
-Would you rather be a great musician, artist or athlete?

February 07, 2019 Episode 6 - One of my tips for a happier life
In this mini-episode I discuss one of my secrets to a happier life (in my experience): to stop blaming others and take responsibility for your own actions. This is a hard habit to break and I still find myself doing it, but awareness of the habit is the first step my friends! I found this to be a monumental step away from self-pity and into a more peaceful internal voice. I hope this little tip helps you.

January 26, 2019 Episode 4 - Assumptions: The Cause of Unhappiness?
In this mini-episode I discuss an idea from the book "The Four Agreements" by Don Miguel Ruiz: how the power of assumption may be causing unnecessary unhappiness. Did that person who smiled at you at the mall into you or were they just being friendly? Is that person who didn't text you back mad at you or did they injure themselves or are just plain occupied? I discuss this and also explain Don Miguel Ruiz's solution to breaking this potentially negative habit.
