On this episode I'm joined by Kristin Zerbin, owner of Hoochy 'Booch Kombucha. I was intrigued to hear Kristin share her adventure into the kombucha biz as the 'booch scene has grown so much in popularity that it seems to rival the synonymous double-double (that's Tim Horton's coffee for all y'all non-Canadians out there).

We jam on the quintessential high school movies from our youth, her experience living in China and the connection between gut health and mental health. Ya gotta listen in to Kristin's funny first experience with kombucha and how she turned her DIY skills into a full fledged business. Kristin also breaks down 'booch terminology so you can go out into the world and be a scoby savant.

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Ally Maz and hearing firsthand about her time in Nicaragua. It's only been a week and a half since being back in Vancouver, but I could see the change on her face. Her three month hiatus and down time provided physical and emotional space to reset, reflect and remove the emotional clutter.

Ally shares what she learned about herself, her sense of home and why Nicaragua is the creative's paradise. Tune in to hear what Ally says when doubt creeps in, her average day in Maderas Village and the reason why she was put on this planet.

On this episode I sit down with Jessie Nelson, who openly shares their experience of recently publicly coming out as trans. Jessie divulges in the (not so easy) journey towards self love, self discovery and gender identity. We get into the conversation of LGBTQ2 terms, pronouns and the masculine and feminine energy inside each of us. Jessie shares their experience with rejection, suicide and the tipping point to finding self.

On this episode, I sit down with Sandy C. as she shares her story of dance, sexual assault and returning to the place where she feels the most empowered and free. Sandy drops some knowledge on equating trauma to cat litter, angel walks and her 18 marriage proposals during her time in Benin, Africa. 

We jam on being seen, naming our inner critic and how sharing our stories lessens the hold and power.

On this episode I sit down with Dr. Yabome Gilpin-Jackson. She shares key moments that fundamentally shifted her life like the January 6th, 1999 invasion of Freetown, Sierra Leone. We discuss her work in post traumatic growth of African war survivors and the moments that unravelled her. If you think racism doesn't happen here in Canada, you're most certainly wrong. Yabome shares her lived experience of identity interrogation and placing connection ahead of curiosity. We jam on the dynamics of social inequality, the subtle felt impacts of racism and why Yabome wants 2018 to feel buoyant.

On this episode, Ashley Brodeur and I chat about many a tings, including Feelosophy, riding a 3 year high, blacking out in Yoga (it’s a thing) and the power of a good shower. Ash shares her evolution of touch, shooting stars in Kenya and what 2018 is going to feel like.

Taraneh and I jam on mindfulness, what we're in the practice of and what we're creating with our families. We touch on two of the eight limbs of yoga (in real life), how are kids are the greatest little gurus and why Yoga is #morethanasana.

In this episode I sit down with homegirl, Jen Beattie, as she shares her passion for essential oils. We breakdown the stereotypes of aromatherapy hippie dippiness, using essential oils beyond the scent and making conscious choices. We go deeper into experiential health and wellness, creating core values outside of work and skepticism in direct buy (I promise you there's NO selling involved).

On this episode I sit down with Amy Bonner, founder and creator of Union Swimwear. She shares her journey as a chartered accountant by day to swimwear aficionado by night. Tune in to hear Amy's side hustle story.

On this episode of the KILTER&MINT podcast, I get l-l-local with Jennifer Varney, owner of Barre Fitness Port Moody. We chat about how she transitioned from professional dance to barre, creating the ideal schedule for life with kids, trusting your gut and how her parents' lifestyle influenced her and her brother's career path.
