KILTER&MINT

On this episode, I’m joined by Field & Social owner Barbora Samieian. Barbora and I originally met a couple years back at FWE (The Forum for Women Entrepreneurs) and I was immediately drawn to Barbora’s zestful and magnetic energy.

Today we discuss the seasonality and business strength of running a salad shop, expanding businesses and families at the same time and the pros/cons to silent partners. I learned so much from Barbora, especially in terms of where she sees growth in the food & restaurant industry in Vancouver and why Field & Social is different from other quick shops.

On this episode, I’m joined by CMMN GRND co-founder Dylan Archambault.

Dylan shares how he and his Mom took the dream of CMMN GRND and turned it into reality, why we need more body neutral and gender neutral spaces and how toxic masculinity is rampant within the fitness community.

We discuss tokenism in hiring from a white leadership lens, the disparity of sliding scale pay models and the oppressed oppressor.

But don’t worry, we keep things light with Dylan sharing my fave story of all time of when he got his finger stuck in something. I won’t say what… so you’ll just have to listen for yourself.

On today’s episode I’m joined by good friend, Adri Koc-Spadaro.

Here’s what I love about Adri…. LITERALLY EVERYTHING. And we discuss literally (okay, figuratively) everything. From energy work, to Snoop Dogg to regrets to kink, nothing is off the table.

Adri shares how she entered into the world of reiki, art and energy work and speaks to her discomfort to the word ‘healer’.

Welcome to a special hybrid episode! This episode is in partnership with Ask Me About My Type 1 podcast.

On today's episode, we explore mind-body connection and how yoga and movement can support type 1 diabetics.

As a 'type none' (someone who doesn't have diabetes), this conversation was a neat way to learn more about Type 1 and see how life can be altered by diabetes.

Whether you have Type 1 or not, I recommend giving this a listen because as usual, we digress and talk about so much more.

On today’s episode, I’m joined or should I say co-joined by Christine Wild from the podcast Running Wild With Christine.

Join us for this episode on our respective stories with podcasting, life and walking the path to today. Just like Christine shared in her show notes, it felt weird yet strangely enjoyable asking questions and answering them at the same time!

We jam on a wide spectrum of topics ranging from podcasting (obvi) to micro-scale activism to online dating to strange tattoos.

Today's guest is trans reproductive rights author, educator and activist AJ Lowik.

From working at an abortion clinic to traveling the world studying and lecturing on trans reproductive rights, AJ has an arsenal of knowledge that they share with me.

We talk isolation, drag kings, being in allyship at the OBGYN and untangling gender from reproduction.

On today’s episode I’m humbly rejoined by Dr. Yabome Gilpin-Jackson.

We discuss what’s changed since she was last on and how winning the International African Business Woman of the Year (2017) and BBPA Harry Jerome Award (2018) propelled her further into writing and storytelling. We explore her latest book, Ancestries: A Short Story Collection, an ode to belonging and rootedness.

On today’s episode I’m joined by longtime friend, Anna McMillan.

A short and sweet episode of me reintroducing myself and this podcast.

On today’s episode, I’m joined by two of my favourite humans, Justine Sones & Jen Kasuya.
