Nicole Doty and Bobby Kalinowsky are the Co-Founders of The Emergeré and they are resilient.

Trigger Warning: The Resilience Project provides an open space for people to share their personal experiences. Some content in this podcast may include topics that you may find difficult. The listener’s discretion is advised.

About the Guests:

Nicole Doty is a Missouri-based philanthropist and Co-Founder and President of The Emergeré. Her experience as a peer counsellor to women at Thrive in St. Louis, her training as a trauma-sensitive yoga instructor and being a divine feminine healer has been an integral part of her path. With almost a decade of experience in interior design and generating over three million dollars in sales plus Co-Founding Trademark Stone, her expertise has been featured in St. Louis Town and Style Magazine and on the Radical Resilience podcast. As an abuse survivor, she learned the hard way that the system to support women like her is broken, which is why she co-created The Emergeré, a unified network to provide multi-level services for those fleeing domestic violence. When she’s not focused on elevating her non-profit, you can find her spending time with her five beautiful children.

Bobby Kalinowsky is a Virginia-based philanthropist and Co-Founder, Vice President and Treasurer of The Emergeré. He is an ally empowering women to flee toxic and abusive personal and professional relationships. He is also an enterprise architect in the space industry who lifts highly capable but overlooked women struggling to balance their life priorities and looking for soul-level alignment and satisfaction. He advises and coaches them in relationships, career, time management, and finances. His life experiences, including surviving abuse and working in high-stress environments, like creating and managing a General Officer operations monitoring center in the Pentagon in the hours after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, led him on his path to cocreating The Emergeré. Over the last three years, he has been helping women attain success in balancing life priorities, identifying aligned positions with supportive management, negotiating salary increases and coming up with strategies and tactics to deal with difficult situations in male-dominated environments. His expertise has been featured on the Radical Resilience podcast and on his days off, he spends time with his three children.

Marie-Pier Dionne realized that her mental health wasn’t well, that she was stuck in unhealthy relationships and that she wasn’t living her best life. This is her story and she is resilient.

Trigger Warning: The Resilience Project provides an open space for people to share their personal experiences. Some content in this podcast may include topics that you may find difficult. The listener’s discretion is advised.

About the Guest:

Hi, my name is Marie-Pier Dionne. I am an aromatherapist, entrepreneur and the founder of Love & Lemons Life Essentials. I also own a French Daycare.  It is my passion to help others live the lives they love, with all their health and happiness!

I originally hail from Rimouski, Québec. I found my second home in the mountains of British Columbia 16 years ago when I moved to Whistler and later Squamish. Currently, I am based out of Castlegar, BC, where I spend my free time in the mountains. I am also passionate about children, art, design, and all the little excitements of life.

My Essential Oil Journey

Having battled anxiety and depression since high school, I got introduced to essential oils a few years ago. I had just experienced a challenging decade. But aromatherapy opened up a whole new unexpected world for me, improving my personal, emotional and professional well-being. This experience turned my life around and sparked my passion for aromatherapy, holistic nutrition, and sustainability. With a newfound love for essential oils, I decided to go to school to deepen my understanding. Today I hold many diplomas; the most recent being in aromatherapy from the West Coast Aromatherapy Institute.

My Values

I am grateful for every opportunity life gave me, and the value all my family and friends bring. Through the course of my journey, I have had very rough rides and tough moments. But if given another chance, I would take the same passage all over again, without changing a thing. For it is that journey which allowed me to grow and become the person that I am today. I am full of dreams, aspirations with many more accomplishments to come. 

I believe…

I believe in the power of life and in dreams coming true.

I believe that everything in nature has a lesson to teach us.

I believe that we can heal our bodies with what Mother Earth gifts us every day.

I believe in an alternative and holistic approach to taking care of our bodies.

I believe that a healthy lifestyle leads to a happy and fulfilled life.

I believe everything unfolds perfectly, just like it is supposed to.
