The voices of Vancouver-based clothing company Vancouver Apparel (WHO IS NOW FEATURED IN HUDSONS BAY PACIFIC CENTRE!) joined us on our podcast today. This small biz thrives off their mission to be a community-based business where their customers feel like they belong. Brand wearers can use the hashtag #ShowcaseYourCity while wearing Vancouver Apparel to see everything that Vancouver has to offer and inspire people to explore what’s around them. We chatted about building relationships with your customers, the effect that the pandemic had on sales, the tolls that owning a business takes on your mental health and how to collaborate on running a business using proper communication. Colton and Brandon share some tips on how to balance owning a business while still having time for his personal life, too.
*HINT: it involves Kelly’s favourite thing…LISTS.

Doula's are magical for your mental health as an expecting parent. We had the opportunity to talk with Sarah from ElderFlower Doula on the benefits of hiring a Doula for your pre-pregnancy to postpartum and everything in between. There are so many types of Doulas out there (which we had no idea about prior to this episode), and finding the right one is super important.
Sarah teaches us what to look for when finding the right Doula for you and the different things they can be trained to help with during your journey to parenthood. She's kindly supplied us with a group of links to more information on how to find (AND BECOME!!) a Doula!

We caught up with ALLLL THE DRAMMMA from Love Island and the Bachelorette. **Major spoilers in this episode if you aren’t caught up**. First we discussed a period mishap that is probably all too common (but most definitely shouldn’t be - BE CAREUL OUT THERE). We talked about why we chose to take a mental health intermission and why you should too!
Back to business: We talked about Katie’s choice on how she closed out the season as well as her Aunt Lindsey and the toxic femininity she portrayed. We tried to figure out how exactly people find love on reality tv; why it may or may not work out and the pressures put on the contestants to either win the money or win the partner.
Question for our listeners: Do you want to see more of us on our social media?

The past year and a half has been a lot for everyone. The social changes forced upon us by the pandemic has really made us rethink our social interactions, relationships and how we live our lives in general. We’re not sure here; are we going to all be boring forever? Does it take a lot of time to rebuild up the energy to spend time with other people? Now, as covid hopefully begins to come to a close, how do we begin to fill our social tank. With restrictions up in the air, how do you plan events…gatherings…travel and will we forever be scared to be around people who are sick? Feeling like an introvert after the pandemic? Kelly is too and we tried to give some suggestions to ease our way back into our social lives.
DM us on instagram or email us to order YOUR “social tank” today :)

We start this episode off talking about Starbucks drink hacks. If you hate Starbucks plz fast forward to 5:37 LOL.
Real talk: breakups. They are hard, sometimes ugly, sometimes freeing and almost always a back and forth conversation within yourself if it’s the right thing to do. So far, Brittany has managed to avoid this part of her life altogether, leaving Kelly to talk about all of the relationships that have ended in her life. Leave it to Brittany though, to have the best advice! We talk about how, why and when people may breakup, tools to use when being the breakupER vs the breakupEE and how to continue to love yourself through what some people think is a “failed” relationship. We also touch on unhealthy relationship habits, why people may choose to stay in relationships and the confusion around timeline ultimatums.

Welcome baby Blake. Our co-host Kelly welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world on May 17th - under very awful circumstances. Kelly was diagnosed with gestational diabetes as well as hypertension in her third trimester of pregnancy and it was all downhill from there. After an insane and eventful week in the hospital (with multiple medical diagnoses, tests and pain) Blake was safely born via emergency c-section. What could go wrong did go wrong, and this episode tells the events that happened during the best and worst week of her life. The complications didn’t stop there which led Kelly and her husband to have a baby in the NICU and further health concerns for her. From pumping & breastfeeding to feelings of guilt, it’s all in this episode. Stay tuned for part two in the coming months to hear more about Blake’s NICU stay.

“Somedays are worse mentally, some are worse physically and some emotionally. It’s all about being able to tell yourself: it’s ok if you’re having a shitty day”
In this episode we welcome Alisha, who was diagnosed with relapsing remitting multiple sclerosis at the young age of 24. Since the diagnosis, her life has changed A LOT. Alisha bravely spoke about what MS is, how if affects her life, her mental health, what treatments she has undergone and the side effects that may come with them. What happens when medical interventions don’t work? What happens when you relapse? How do you carry on living a “normal” adult life while dealing with an often debilitating disease. SPOILER: get you some friends like Alisha. If one thing is apparent in this episode, it’s that having a village of support can really lift you up when you’re struggling and be the shoulder(s) to lean on when it’s just not your day, week or month. Alisha has some fantastic advice for anyone going through changes in their life and how to accept/deal with unsolicited advice from others. What is so incredible about Alisha is that she took something that could have brought her down - and almost did - and made it into something so yummy. This episode is all about finding your passion in life and doing it surrounded by the people you love - even in the face of adversity.
Thank you Alisha for showing us and our listeners what it truly means to live.
