What I love about Shay's story is her willingness to try several things before landing on her, now small business, Goods by Shay. Her perseverance after leaving her corporate job without knowing what was next is commendable - often we feel like we have to have it all figured out and can't make a move until we have all the pieces in order, but Shay is challenging that narrative. You can lean into your creativity and trust what your heart is drawn to, and although it may take some trials and tribulations, eventually you will find your way. About the guest:Shay is a free spirited creative who specializes in making elevated and whimsical interior finishes and lifestyle products in Toronto, Ontario.She spent over a decade working for others, until 2018 when she decided to take the leap of faith and finally work for herself. Although entrepreneurship hasn't been the easiest journey to embark on, Shay admits that it's been the most rewarding experience.

In this episode, Destiny and I chat about her transition from her 20 year corporate career, into following her heart to become a chef - a dream she never fully leaned into as an option until she found herself reevaluating her career during the pandemic. As a foodie, and as someone curious about her culture as an indigenous woman, Destiny is not only operating her business serving healthy, fresh meals to doorsteps in the Waterloo Region, but also diving into research about native foods to her culture and recreating meals with her history in mind.

Have a listen as we chat about life, change, adaptability and the power of the human spirit. It was an honour to sit and chat - I learned so much from her about foods native to our country, and they likely aren't what you think.

About the guest:

Chef Destiny is the owner of FoodZen, a personal chef & pre-made meal business in Waterloo Region. Her goal is to bring zen to busy family schedules, assist professionals in a better work/life balance & help seniors maintain their independence.

Destiny’s focus is to create meals that are hyper-local & ultra-seasonal. Her farm-to-table approach supports many local businesses & favours whole foods over processed ones. In October 2022, Destiny partnered with Bingemans to open Cedar Spoon Indigenous Catering. With Cedar Spoon, her goal is to showcase the Indigenous foods of Canada while continuing her own healing & reconciliation journey.

It feels lately like there's nothing but disaster happening around the globe. Many of us are feeling the effects, not knowing how we can help, or what to do, while having so many feelings about what is happening all around us. 

It's tough, especially in a culture that has us feeling like our pain isn't worthy if someone else is having it harder than us. Same kind of thing with joy - we feel bad looking for the good when everything else seems to be burning down.

But as energetic beings - as humans - the more of the bad or wrong we absorb, are tapped into, and seek out, the greater likelihood that our mental health will follow. As part of the collective human energy, we need to raise up the good vibes right now, and it starts with seeking out the good in each day.

October is a significant month for me, and I recently took a few minutes to dive into just HOW significant. A year that I could have easily just decided to keep doing the same thing, but I allowed my gut to speak to me in very profound ways that has resulted in me leading a very different life than I was a year ago - so naturally I wanted to share it with you!
