Keeping It Cento

This week we sit down with founder and owner of Mad Batter Cupcakes and Cakes for a casual girl chat!  We pick Jess' brain about how she has managed (in just two years) to scale her business and grow whilst also pursuing post-secondary and a full time job.

 We also talk about success... it seems like such a simple concept, but have you ever actually stopped to think what your definition of success is? Do you agree with succeeding in silence and only revealing your success when its popped off?  We also get into some funny relationship dealbreakers and dating app HORROR stories! All this and more on this weeks episode. So sit back, relax, grab a cup of whatever you like and come join our chat.

Keeping it Cento 2022!  On this episode we touch base for the first episode of the new year. We talk setting realistic goals... aka setting goals that you feel called to achieve! Maybe that can look like incorporating boxing into your week because it has always been something you have wanted to do! Maybe it is simply establishing clarity in your career path... whatever it is, don't think of it as 'New Year, New Me', think of it more as 'New Year, Better Me'.   We are soooo over trying to constantly think of new ways to exceed last years goals, last weeks goals or even just exceed expectations we previously set for ourselves. Instead, we are actively going to be working on healing old wounds, whilst continuously striving forward to be a better version of ourselves, faults and all!  Also we start rambling on a little about our soul record and intergenerational soul wounds... yeah, some pretty witchy stuff, LOL! Take a seat, or a stroll... and have a listen to our chat.   

Let us know what ya think!

Last episode of 2021!!!  

It is a longer episode than usual this week, but we promise, it is  good one! We are super excited for you guys to hear this weeks episode with Ricky Bobby (aka the KIC podcast producer and the man behind the cams!). Ricky is a Juno Award winning Music Manager... he is the manager behind many artists' successful careers including Toronto's very own Jazz Cartier.   Ricky gives us his story on how he went from just a kid who loved instruments in Etobicoke to an award winning music manager and content house/recording studio owner (shout out to The Cookhouse Recording Studio)! He has gone from internships at Much Music to working at Universal alongside major execs and has even had the opportunity to work with artists like MGK, Hedley and more!  Behind his story of how he got to where he is today, Ricky also tells us some of the lessons he has learned along the way... such as treating people like plants! Yes, plants. You'll understand what we mean once you listen to the episode. He also tells us some great advice he got which states, " There is always someone out there willing to do more to  be in your place"... aka, be grateful and appreciative for where you are. Put your all into what you're doing until it no longer serves you, then move on to bigger and better things!  

Allll this and more!

This week on the podcast we have a boss ass businesswoman and future Doctor, Brianne Helfrich on the podcast, owner of HelfrichCollective. She candidly opens up about how self-sabotage has often been one of her greatest challenges as she steps into herself as a business owner of AND full-time student, plus how to get out of your own way. We also get into stepping out of our comfort zones and how that often leads to the most drastic opportunistic moments in our lives! Like moving from Edmonton to Arizona, or opening a clothing business in Brianne's case;)

Sometimes you need a change of scenery to grow... have you ever maybe thought that the people you've grown up with / known for all your life can subconsciously be the reason why you might be afraid of pursuing a goal?

We also get into some candid convos about Canadian vs U.S  universities, sororities and much more!

This week the girls  get into the traumatic events that happened at Astroworld... which leads into a conversation about some conspiracy theories about the music industry and idolizations of celebrities.  Is their music really that important if they aren’t genuinely good people?   Sam and Fran also get real about how we’ve been feeling stuck and in a rut, which means something different to everybody! It seems like a lot of people have been feeling unmotivated, uninspired or just down in general & they get into some of their personal experiences, how they  know they're in a “rut” and ways to get out it.   Make sure you give it a watch to find out Sam & Fran's top 3 indicators for knowing they're in a rut and how they actively working on feeling at peace again. Let's invite more convos about the realness of every day life!!! Like being in a rut!!! and feeling stuck!!

In this week's episode, we are joined with Roman (aka Sam's boyfriend) on the podcast. We get into a lighthearted conversation about some relationship-related questions. Why is it weird for girls to propose to guys, and how would Rome feel if Sam popped the question? When is the right time to say "I Love You," and why is there an unwritten rule for the guy to say it first? And why do relationship coaches encourage women to "be a chase" when in a relationship? So many questions were answered with the opinion of a man in a long-term relationship. Plus, we play a game of "Who Knows Sam Better," Fran or Roman?

Do you want to stop giving a f*** about what people think but don’t know how? On this weeks episode, Sam & Fran are joined by a  guest to discuss how to get the point in your adulting journey where you just don’t give a f**k about what others think or feel about the way we live our lives. This in turn, will ultimately help all of us likeminded, aspiring young adults discover our true selves and what WE truly want to do with our lives.

Lastly...is it true that females and males should be trained differently in sports? This is an important topic that exceeds just the area of sports, and in this episode the girls get to discuss how sexism can affect both male and female players-but from a soccer coach’s perspective!

This week is a mind, body, soul series episode! Although we don't have a guest joining us, we get DEEP and answer some personal questions that we usually wouldnt talk about on a regular basis. We talk about the lies we've been telling ourselves all our lives, anxiety surrounding the topic of death, and some controversial opinions such as what has been going on with the vaccine passport as of recently...  We believe that a part of growth is being able to talk through things, and being able to get deep and dive into questions that you wouldn't normally think about is a great way to get thoughts of your chest and move forward with clarity.   Stay tuned to the end where we have a fun segment of 'Finish The Jingle'.
