Chronic pain is any physical pain that lasts for more than 3 months. But after three months, it's rarely only physical, it's emotional and mental too.

In this episode, we sit down with Canadian Kinesiologist of the Year and clinical director of Symmetrics Kinesiology, Dasha Maslennikova, to talk about the missing piece that most people in chronic pain never address; mindset.

We get into how the victim mindset keeps pain locked in, why the nervous system is the bridge between mental and physical healing, and how awareness and small deliberate actions can shift you from helpless to vital. Dasha also shares her own 13 year journey through chronic pain and what finally moved the needle, including breathwork, meditation, and yes, hypnosis.

This one is not just for people in pain. It's for anyone who has ever felt like life is happening to them.

Dasha is the Clinical Director and co-owner of Symmetrix Kinesiology. She brings 12 years of experience in active rehabilitation, personal training, aquatic therapy, ergonomics, and performance training for clients ranging from athletes to those with chronic pain or cardiac rehabilitation needs. Recognized with awards including Canadian Kinesiologist of the Year (2021) and Vancouver’s Top Kinesiology Studio (2022–2025), she is passionate about helping people improve movement, function, and overall well-being through a holistic mind-body approach to rehabilitation and training.

Most of us have spent years zooming in on everything we think is wrong with ourselves. But what if the problem was never what you saw, it was the lens you were looking through?

In this episode, we sit down with Tina Aquila Posteraro, founder of Oculus Portraits, Vancouver's premier boudoir studio, to talk about what actually happens when women finally see themselves the way everyone else does. We get into how body shame and self-criticism are really just a focus problem, why confidence is the catalyst for change and not the reward for it, and how a single shift in perception can ripple out into every area of your life. We also talk about why doing the thing that scares you is where the confidence has been hiding all along, and why saying yes to yourself might be the most powerful first step you can take.

If you have been waiting until you feel ready, this episode is your sign.

Tina is the founder of Oculus Portraits, Vancouver’s premier boudoir studio where women come to feel safe, seen, and celebrated. She believes every woman at every  age, stage and size, deserves to feel like a goddess, and she’s built a luxurious space where that feeling is the entire experience. This is where women come to reclaim themselves , and leave with images as stunning as the woman staring back at them.

If the world feels heavy, overwhelming, or like it's constantly out to get you, it might not be the world. It might be your nervous system.

In this episode, we sit down with nervous system coach and energy practitioner Mallory Meyer to explore what it actually means to live in a regulated state and why so many high capacity people have never experienced it. We talk about how dysregulation distorts the lens through which we see everything, simple somatic tools you can use anywhere to bring yourself back into balance, and why safety, not striving, is the real foundation of lasting change. She even walks us through a real-time experience we can use to calm our body and help real transformation to stick.

If you've been trying to think your way out of stress, this episode will show you there's another way.

 Mallory Meyer is the founder of White Wolf Reiki and a guide for high-capacity leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are stretched thin and stuck in overdrive. Blending nervous system regulation, subconscious re-patterning, and energy work, she helps people dissolve outdated patterns and reconnect to who they are beneath pressure and expectations. A former HR leader and 2x DisruptHR speaker, Mallory bridges science, somatics, and intuition to create real, sustainable transformation rooted in safety, not striving

What if the reason social media feels exhausting is because you've been doing it wrong?

In this episode, we sit down with registered holistic nutritionist and social media strategist Olesia Guts to unpack why so many practitioners burn out on Instagram and what to do instead. We talk about the shift from "I have to" to "I get to," why chasing trends and algorithms is a dead end for business owners, and how leading with your values attracts the clients who already want to work with you before they even reach out. We also get into why human connection is the one thing AI will never replace, and why doing less but better is the whole strategy.

If you've ever stared at a blank screen wondering what to post, this one is for you.

Olesia is a Registered Holistic Nutritionist and French-trained chef who teaches health and wellness practitioners how to use Instagram as a business-building tool—not an influencer playground. With 11 years of scaling her own and other businesses through strategic social media, she's developed a system that doesn't rely on trends or algorithm shifts. By day, she works with functional genetics and metabolic markers; by night, you'll find her testing recipes, dancing hip-hop, and building her own practice through social media.

Success isn't something that happens to you. It's something you choose.

In this episode, we sit down with licensed financial broker Quinton Carlin to talk about what most of us were never taught about money. We dig into why wealth is simply money you didn't spend, how delayed gratification separates the people who get ahead from the ones stuck on the hamster wheel, and why being proactive with your finances is the single most powerful thing you can do for your future self. We also get into what the banks aren't telling you, the insurance products that could change your life, and why faith and abundance mindset are as important as any financial strategy.

If money feels overwhelming or out of reach, this episode will change how you see it.

What if the biggest thing holding your business back… is you?

In this episode, we are joined by Randy Rosales of Freelance Latin America, as he shares his experience with the mindset shift every entrepreneur eventually has to make: letting go. We talk about why business owners often become the bottleneck in their own companies, how trust and clear systems create stronger teams, and why delegation is the key to buying back your time and focusing on the work that actually grows the business.

How do you hand over control of the wheel and trust that your team get the car home safely? This conversation is for every leader who has felt overwhelmed, stuck doing everything themselves, or hesitant to hand off important tasks.

He founded the company in 2017 to connect the incredible talent pool in LatAM with better work opportunities, driven by his personal experience during a severe economic crisis in Venezuela. 

Today, Randy empowers North American business owners to grow their companies and buy back their time while simultaneously creating life-changing opportunities for professionals in Latin America.

So many of us get stick in our heads, trying to think out way out of discomfort. In this episode,  somatic psychotherapist and sexologist Marie-Pier helps us embrace the truth most of us try to avoid: there is no way out - only a way through.

Over thinking and self talk can be subtle ways we try to protect ourselves from being truly seen. She invites us to notice these patterns that quietly block intimacy,  and use vulnerability and even shame as a doorway back to connection.

If you’ve ever felt stuck in analysis, muted desire, or repetitive relationship dynamics, this episode is an invitation to slow down, feel deeper, and rediscover what real vulnerability makes possible.

Marie-Pier Gilbert is a somatic psychotherapist, sexologist, and guide into embodied relating. Her work lives at the intersection of attachment, vulnerability, sensual intelligence, wholeness in those quiet places where we learn to come back home to ourselves. She is also the author of the upcoming book The Paradox of Womanhood, an exploration of desire, devotion, and the courage it takes to live fully and freely.
