This week I chat with Naturopathic Doctor and the founder of “Self Love Mom” Dr. Kristy Lewis. While the title of “Self Love Mom” does come into play, this is really meant for anyone who has dealt with or is dealing with burnout, exhaustion and trying to be everywhere and pleasing everyone at all times. Something has got to give and it’s about giving ourselves permission to let some things fall through the cracks. She has some great recommendations for those currently struggling and tips on when to realize you are in trouble.

Description: My podcast this Thursday is with world renown conductor Alexander Shelley. Alex’s podcast was an inspiring conversation and I learned so much about the world of classical music. I have always felt a deep kinship with musicians, who like athletes, train and practice for hours (to the point of exhaustion) looking to become the best. It requires a deep dedication to the craft and a passion to live it. Very few make it to the top. Alexander and I talk about his unique childhood in London, why he chose conducting over playing, how music transforms us and why there is a purpose to every note on the page. Our main focus is on preparation and how it becomes the critical factor for success, not just in music or athletics but in life. His podcast comes full circle as about 6 months ago I had his wife Zoe on my podcast. Zoe spoke about her amazing experience through the casting, training, and finally shooting of Wonder Woman. At the time, she had just announced she was pregnant with their first child. As timing would have it, Alexander and I met last week to tape his podcast. The podcast was underscored by the anticipation their baby boy would arrive within the next two weeks. Their son, Sasha arrived two days later. Congrats to both Zoe and Alex! I can’t wait to meet him!

This week, we chat with Money Coach, Judith Cane about our relationship with money. If you are looking for investment advice for your portfolio or the next big stock to invest in – you won’t find it in the podcast, but what you will find is an honest discussion about how money influences our decisions and our relationships. Judith offers some great advice on how to start teaching our children about the concept of earning, saving and giving money. She explains why not understanding these concepts early affects our decisions later in life, our habits and our downfalls. She describes the work she does with her clients and why real cash is still the key to success. I definitely have shifted my mindset after our conversation!

On May 9th, enjoying a backyard BBQ with friends at the home of NHL player and Ottawa Senator, Cody Ceci, the unimaginable occurred and a freak accident had 24 year old Hana Engel going up in flames. Doctors and family were unsure if she would survive. She woke up from her coma four weeks after the accident to a new nightmare. While this podcast touches on the moment Hana went up in flames, we focus on her process, her treatment and her recovery. Hana shares her experience of being in her coma and how her background in yoga helped ease her way through the rehab. She is incredibly brave, vulnerable and honest in our talk... I am in awe of the talent and passion of doctors, medical advancements and technology. I hope you enjoy listening to Hana as much as I did and can take something from her messages. I definitely did.
