There’s no two ways about it, Becky Gaskell is a wonder woman. 

As a part-time acute care nurse, a mama of three boys, a day trader, podcaster and youtube video producer, she wears many different hats, and approaches each of them with grace and passion.

If you’ve ever been curious about the world of daytrading, you may be surprised to hear what Becky has to share. Forget your ideas of men grouped together, watching wall street stock symbol tickers - and instead picture a mom at home, making $8,000 in 13 minutes at her laptop (...and sometimes losing just as much). 

Listen in to today’s episode to learn about (Listen in as we hear) Becky’s story, from growing up barefoot in the country as a mathematically gifted young girl, to laying hands on the sick and dying, to finding her way to day trading in 2021 after an accident at work turned her life upside down.

And discover how she went from having zero trading knowledge (contributed to her IRA regularly as her employer instructed), to working her way towards day trading mastery through community, mentorship and paying her dues in the market itself.

It’s just a part of modern day life, that we see our body and mind as two separate entities. We nourish them differently, and we regard them differently too. What’s physical carries more weight. What’s mental, can feel like fluff. 

But what if we were to look at ourselves as one integrated whole. Where our thoughts, feelings and emotions had a real and irrefutable impact on our physiology, our behaviour, and even our future? 

Joining us today is coach mentor and mental performance coach, Sara Reichenbach. Sara works with everyone from athletes to CEOs, helping them to achieve their highest potential - with a methodology that will make you think twice about the narratives you carry, and how our thoughts have the power to write our reality. 

Today she joins us to break down the chain reaction that links our mind to our behaviour - and how making some simple but powerful mental shifts can have a profound effect on our performance, and even our happiness too.

You know those people who suddenly make a big announcement on social media that takes you by surprise? The ones who make the big leaps and actually DO the things that so many of us say we want to do, but never take action towards?

Sue Ruhe is that person.

As a highly-skilled and experienced massage therapist, Sue Ruhe had a loyal client base and a flourishing career…And then she made an amazing pivot that is nothing short of a reinvention.

While Sue still provides massage therapy to a select (lucky few), she now holds a myriad of titles, as a co-author, book typesetter, podcast host, producer & editor and more (did I mention she also makes and sells lip balms?!).

Sue joins us to talk about the pivotal moments that led to big changes in her life, some were made out of necessity, and others out of tragedy. She shows us what it’s like to go into the chaos of the unknown, to give ourselves grace and space, and the freedom to recreate our own destiny.

No matter how entrenched you think you are in one narrative for your life, Sue shows us that we all have the power to take that pen into our hands and write, and re-write our own story - as many times as we need or want to.

Whether or not you believe in the supernatural, there’s no doubt that there’s something fascinating about psychics. 

The idea that someone could sense and perceive the world around us differently, or even reach into different planes of existence, is just too tempting not to explore. 

In this episode of Matter, Jim Hunt, psychic medium, walks us through what it’s like to discover that you fundamentally see the world differently than everyone else.  

Now well-known for his role as the lead psychic on the show Knock Knock Ghost, as well as his guest appearance on Destinations of the Damned, Jim shares how he actually spent decades hiding his gift while working a regular job-job like the rest of us… and how he transitioned into accepting his gift. 

Today’s episode is sure to challenge your perception of ‘normal’ and dare you to question whether your colleagues are hiding something a little extra sensory.

Hypopressive fitness isn’t exactly new (even Arnold Schwartzeneger had a hypopressive technique woven into his poses), but if it’s new to you, you’re going to love today’s episode.

This breathing and postural technique is known to whittle waists, strengthen your posture, correct pelvic floor dysfunction, and even contribute to better sex.

And yes, that goes for women and men too.

Today on Matter, we’re joined by Trista Zinn, the founder of Coreset Fitness, and a personal trainer who specializes in pelvic health and core re-programming. She’s Canada’s highest qualified and most experienced Trainer in HYPOPRESSIVE® Fitness — as well as Canada's only International course instructor and Master Trainer. And as per her own admission, she’s also hypopressive fitness’s biggest advocate.

Listen in as we go ‘there,’ and get personal about the mysterious and often misbehaving pelvic floor, tell our personal stories, and discuss the ways our modern lifestyle and athletic endeavours can contribute to bodily dysfunction. Trista shares how hypopressives work to restore your posture, correct and deepen your breath, and create true strength from deep inside your core.

If you had discovered an amazing way to save money by slashing your grocery bills, week after week, month after month… to the point where you were saving so much that you could spend on the things you love (guilt free), would you tell others about how you’re doing it?

If you’re Kat Cassidy, the answer is a resounding YES. 

For Kat (who is now also known as @livingonaloonie) couponing in Canada had become a way for her to realize the life of her dreams - so she decided to take to social media to teach others how to save too.

But what happened next had her jaw hit the floor, and had her wanting to hide under the covers. Overnight her post on her account, @livingonaloonie, absolutely blew up. The views skyrocketed. The followers flocked in. The comments came fast and furious, and not all of them kind.

All of the sudden, the woman who had always imagined a corporate career outside of the spotlight, was thrust into social media influencer status.

Today Kat joins us to talk about what it’s like to become, and work as a social media influencer (yes, the whole unfiltered truth). And of course, she gives some money saving tips along the way too!

Listen in for the full scoop!
