Real Heart Talk

Shadows Pub is a 60plus woman who resides in a small community in eastern Ontario, Canada. She originally adopted her online name as a privacy measure online and it has since become her online persona and increasingly her brand. 

No, the name is not a person seated in the shadowy corner of the local pub getting soused. The Pub in her name refers to Shadows Publishing under which she creates and publishes journals and colouring books. 

Shadows has been a writer most of her life but only really pursuing it while at home during the pandemic. Being a person with a wide range of interests and willing to head down learning rabbit holes, Shadows never really settled into a writing niche. 

In 2022, after hearing many people who felt the same about ‘finding a niche’ she decided to embrace nichelessness and created a website, newsletter and podcast that celebrated her nichelessness called Nicheless And Loving It. She wrote and explored creativity on her terms without feeling pressure to settle into one. 

In June 2023 she started down a path that would challenge her Nicheless nature. Curious to improve her use of the generative art engine Midjourney, she started playing with random words to create images. One thing led to another and she soon found she was using a word, it’s meaning and how it was used to create a different image every day. 

Shadows has always explored personal growth and her spirituality. She soon decided to use that perspective for how she explored the words and created the images. 

What has become the Daily Echo came together in layers. The word and the image evolved to the word, image and a relevant quote. Shadows followed the pull to create them daily throughout the last half of 2023 while still pursuing the Nicheless part of her nature. 

By early 2024 she realized that this project had taken on a life of its own and had become a part of her daily life, she named it the Daily Echo. AI is used extensively to develop the background material for each word and to provide feedback on the quote and now, comments, that Shadows writes each day. 

She’s open about the use of AI as a tool for development but will not use it to replace her own writing. 

She was introduced to the platform Go Brunch during 2024 and started experimenting with creating some virtual rooms on there. She built a virtual art gallery on there in September 2024 to showcase a sample of her Daily Echoes during the first 500 days that she was approaching on October 27th. 

In November during National Podcast Posting Month she undertook to create a podcast for 30 of her Echoes as part of the challenge to publish 30 podcasts in 30 days. Her goal was to create reflections 5 to 8 minutes in length using the extensive notes she had from creating the echoes and some additional material she added specific to the quote and comment. 

She completed 8 of them but will continue with a weekly podcast in 2025. 

She’s built a group of rooms for the Echoes on Go Brunch that includes:

• the original Art Gallery
• Life of an Echo where you can explore a brief overview of how Echoes are made. 
• Media room where people can list to the podcasts
• Lobby to find their way around
• room to join an email list to receive the Echoes every morning
• Discussion Salon where she’s planning to host discussions in 2025 
• https://gobrunch.com/events/373103/569447

She has some other ideas for 2025 that will be worked on as well. It has become very clear to her that while she started 2024 as a Nicheless person, this niche has become a central part of her life. 

The words are not selected by her, they are generated randomly by Ai. Shadows finds the journey of getting to know the words and how they connect with the perspective of personal growth and spiritual journey like a new adventure every day. 

From the words she’d never heard of and seem totally unrelated, to the words she was already familiar with taking on perspectives she’d never considered, there is always something to learn.

As a Venezuelan migrant who moved to Australia in 1989, I experienced several challenges that

helped me connect with my vision of myself when I was a child; and that was to become a

mentor/coach. Although in the 1960’s and 70’s was not called Coaching.

Several of my personal challenges forced me to confront uncertainty, trust the unknown, reevaluate my values, and

explore deeper personal growth.

I have firsthand experience navigating the challenges and opportunities of cultural diversity in Australia. I worked for

over 20 years in diverse roles within State Government, Non-Profit Organisations, and the Private Sector.

Over the years I gained further skills in Neuro Linguistic Programming, Leadership and Business.

I have developed a coaching program that I’m passionate about and it is called – Reclaim Your Vision – Rewrite Your

Story. I guide women in navigating their own evolving aspirations while balancing full-time careers.
