What do we do when everything that used to make us feel capable—high achievement, tight control, pushing harder—suddenly stops working? In this conversation, I sit down with Hogie, someone navigating the layered grief of a recent business closure, a life-changing diagnosis, and the quiet unraveling that can follow when our old strategies no longer serve us. We talk about what it means to measure success differently, the challenge of releasing the grip of perfection, and how diabetes, divorce, and burnout have all become unlikely teachers in his life. It’s a conversation about recalibrating your inner compass when the map no longer fits. About honouring the parts of you that got you here—while gently exploring what else might be possible when you let go of needing to be the best. If you've ever struggled to loosen the grip on high standards, or wondered who you are without the metrics, this one's for you.

What happens when we’re parenting our children while still healing the little one inside us? In this episode, I sit with a mother and survivor of childhood trauma—as we explore what it means to show up for your children with intention, even when you didn’t grow up with the safety, structure, or love you’re now trying to offer. Our guest speaks candidly about grief, self-doubt, inner child work, and the longing to be enough. We talk about how trauma can shape the way we love, and how small moments of care—from teachers, siblings, and strangers—can become the driftwood that holds us afloat. This conversation is honest, tender, and deeply human.

What does it mean to feel good about how you’re spending your time — especially when no one is watching, and you’re the one in charge?  Julie Anne and I talk about life as an entrepreneur, a life that breaks from the 9–5 mold, how hard it can be to downshift from “go mode,” and why it’s so hard to feel done when there’s always something more you could do. If you've ever felt like you're constantly trying to earn your rest, question whether you're doing enough, or wonder how to feel truly proud of your days — this conversation is for you.

Today’s conversation with Aaron took my breath away. It’s one of those episodes that doesn’t just talk about transformation — it embodies it. We talk about his decision to stop drinking and what that opened up for him — in his relationships, his career, and most tenderly, in his relationship with himself. Aaron shares what it’s been like to return to performing from a place of full presence, how he’s finding joy in stability, and how his younger self — the one who used to mask and perform — still walks with him. This isn’t a conversation about alcohol as much as it’s a conversation about aliveness. About coming home to who you are beneath the coping. About feeling the sun on your face and letting it bring you to tears. It’s one of the most moving episodes we’ve recorded — and I’m so grateful Aaron let us into his world with such truth and tenderness. I think you’ll hear yourself in his story, too.

What do you do when your life changes in ways you never imagined—or agreed to? In this deeply moving conversation, our guest shares the unthinkable story of her husband’s sudden disappearance, his return with dissociative amnesia, and the complicated grief of losing a partner who is still physically here. Together, we explore the shock and disorientation of ambiguous loss—when someone is present but no longer the same, and the pull between duty, love, and the need to protect your own life and wellbeing. This is a conversation about resilience, imperfect courage, and how we begin again when our old story shatters.

What if the guilt you feel about resting isn’t a flaw—but a reflection of a culture that never modeled anything else? In this live coaching session, I sit down with a mother of four navigating work, societal expectations, and the ache to reconnect with herself. We explore the trade-offs of motherhood, the paralysis of rare free time, and how hard it can be to claim joy when no one ever showed you how. If you've ever felt like you're drowning in “must be nice” energy, or wondered why it feels so hard to prioritize yourself even when you know you need to—this conversation will land.

In this live coaching-style episode, I sit down with Patrick—a wildly talented artist, parent, and self-employed creative—who’s built a life with space, flexibility, and freedom… and yet still feels stuck. We explore what happens when you finally have the time you longed for, but guilt, internal pressure, and creative perfectionism make it nearly impossible to rest or feel satisfied. This episode is for anyone who's ever said, “I know what to do—but I just can't seem to do it.” This one’s tender, honest, and—if you’ve ever struggled with feeling like you “should” be doing more—deeply relatable.

What happens when your body can’t keep up anymore—and the world doesn’t wait? In this conversation, I sat down with Meaghan, whose experience with chronic illness has forced her to renegotiate everything she thought she knew about productivity, identity, and self-worth. We explore what it means to live at the pace of the body, grieve what’s been lost, and reclaim rest as something sacred—not shameful. If you’ve ever struggled to slow down or felt like rest makes you weak, this episode will meet you right where you are.

Heather Gunn McQuillan is the co-owner of Nature Space Resort in beautiful St. Peter’s Harbour, PEI. Heather massively redefined her understanding of success and adjusted her relationship to conventional success metrics (ex: being the Assistant Dean of a Veterinary Medicine College) to more internally designed metrics and creating a life that felt right from the inside out.

In this episode, Kailea and Heather discuss:

• A PEI high schooler’s question: “What if I am never successful?”
• What does success mean? What does failure mean? Are they external or internal realities?
• Heather’s 3 P’s (belief patterns that create internal pain): perfectionism, personalizing, permanence
• Coming up against a lack of control and what it can teach us
• To feel successful, do you need a comfortable relationship with failure? How can failure free us?
• How can we learn to savour life like a fine wine
