It's part 2 of my 3-part Christmas special on this podcast! This episode I present to you the secular music that I love! Parameters? It had to be written before I was born (1986) so it narrowed my choices down by... a very little bit haha.  But rest assured the selections I've chosen represent a WIDE range of Christmas music from very old to relatively new, Classical to pop.  Hope you enjoy this episode and if you haven't yet, go back and listen to my favourite sacred Christmas carols!

It's that time of year and I thought I'd give it a bit of my own spin combining my love of music and teaching you a bit of music history and theory!  I've selected THREE Christmas carols/hymns I love and I hope you enjoy the arrangements I've come up with.   Please note I recorded this on a very good microphone BUT with a digital piano (I'll talk about this some day in the future) so the quality is NOT up to my normal standards when it comes to fine recording.  However, I hope you'll still enjoy listening to me play!

Soooo... you might be a bit confused about the title so honestly just listen to the episode.  My short trip to Calgary was a blast but it also came with a side of trauma/drama.  Hopefully it's an entertaining episode but also make sure you take care of yourself physically and mentally.

What a joy it was to sit down and chat with Rachel Siemens on this week's special episode of Nobody Asked For This.  We chatted about her history and foundation in fitness that ultimately led her to being an Olympic lifting machine as well as her thoughts on competition, education and overcoming adversity.  Bonus, I even had the chance to pick her brain on her favourites! I hope you enjoy this interview and consider supporting Rachel by visiting her website or following/subscribing/liking to Siemens Weightlifting! All links below:

It's another interview with another amazing person Emily Chan! We've been friends for a few years and I'm so glad she gave me some time to sit her down and chat with me.  We dive into her journey to becoming a dietitician, her love of CrossFit and her recent move to Calgary!  I hope you enjoy my chat with this awesome human!

Have you ever wondered if there was any more you could do to reduce the amount of consumption and waste in your life? Those creative juices running dry? Well maybe this episode will help you out! In my quest to lower my consumption I've decidedly put all my decisions into three categories: Smart Purchases, Second-hand Love and Simple Life Choices.  Have a listen and maybe you'll pick up some new tricks and ideas!

We're trying something new this episode everybody!  For the remainder of the year I'll be randomly adding in Real Talk, a segment of the podcast dedicated to me sharing more personally things on my mind and heart.  This episode I wanted to talk about Choice and Consequence and how it's affected and made me the person I am today.  I hope you enjoy and as always, thank you for your support.

The title says it all! Strap in for an episode packed with all the happenings in the Greater Victoria Area.  I really enjoy this new format because it gives me an entire month to find interesting things to talk about and I hope you enjoy it too!  This time around we'll dive deeper into a new memory clinic in downtown Victoria, an aquaponics venture in Central Saanich, and 4-new proposed towers in downtown Langford just to name a few!
