Evaluating Your Relationships and Cutting Out the Frenemies in Your Life for GoodWhat's the quality of your closest friendships?It's a question we forget to ask ourselves, which leads to normalizing behaviours that would be otherwise deemed harmful, toxic, or completely out of bounds.As everything in life, there are stages and phases that impact the relationships around us. Sometimes the phase and stage are the wakeup call you didn't know you needed.Insight that gives you the clarity of mind to recognize what friendships no longer serve you and rather than suffer through the relationships, you take the stand and walk away.If you have the kind of friends that make it seem pointless to also have enemies, then maybe it's time to reconsider where you're investing your energy in 2026.#relationships #toxicrelationships #cuttingties #growth #clarity0:00 - 1:30 - Introduction1:30 - 16:30 Evaluating Your Relationships16:30 - Wrap Up*RESOURCES*For all topics related to renewing and rebuilding family, communities and relationships, check out our blogs!

How to Change Our Relationship with Fear and Step outside of Our Comfort ZoneContrary to what some people believe, fear has great utility in life.Much of the decisions we make have an element of fear that fuelled the course of action we have chosen.Whether it's fear of the unknown, or fear of something tangible in your space, it's the kind of motivator that keeps you moving, pushing, and can be the catalyst to so much change in your life.All good things in moderation, although.It's important that we cultivate self-mastery around our fear, so that we don't inadvertently find ourselves in a situation where our fear is ruling over us and our decisions#fightingfear #mindset #relatable #storytime 0:00 - 1:30 - Introduction1:30 - 16:30 Changing my Relationship with Fear16:30 - Wrap Up*RESOURCES*For all topics related to renewing and rebuilding family, communities and relationships, check out our blogs!

What I Learned the Hard Way by Surviving Narcissistic Abuse and Focusing on HealingThe bitter pill about abuse is that it doesn't happen in a vacuum.Chances are, if you grew up normalizing abusive behaviour you will attract this behaviour in the relationships and friendships that you have, as well. Mostly because we normalize and are desensitized to the cues that signal abusive behaviour or bad intentions, given the environments we are familiar with. This was the case for me, as I dealt with breaking ties not only with my family, but in my personal and professional network as well.Healing enables us to break the patterns and the cycles of abusive, if we focus on doing better when we know better, and prioritize our own healing.Do you have any questions?

Breaking Free: My No Contact Journey After 5 Years of Cutting Toxic Family TiesExactly 5.5 years ago, I went no contact and cut all ties with my immediate and extended family.It was a hard choice but ultimately, the best choice I could have made to support not only my mental well-being but also mitigate and manage the increasing threat I felt to my physical safety. Rather than treat the subject as taboo, I want to really be transparent about the process. There are a lot of people (women, children, and men alike), who suffer abuse that becomes increasingly violent because the complicit silence from their communities means there is no consequence or accountability for the abuse and mistreatment. In Canada, there are approximately 100 to 187 victims of intimate partner homicide and 187 victims of family homicide each year, according to recent data (Statistics Canada), the majority being women and children. My story not only involved family abuse but also translated as abusive treatment from the mentor that I had at the time.Given my career path and academic background, I had the privilege that many women do not and I was able to start from scratch and build a life that I love, abroad. But there were some challenging years, first... and a lot of inner conflict. So I would like to take the opportunity and speak to those who are going through their own storms... in hopes that they have the courage to maintain alignment, and not go back to abusive and unsafe situations... or to take that leap, and leave them once and for all.Do you have any questions?

3 Red Flags You Should Never Ignore When Someone Reacts to Your Boundaries In Every Stage & PhaseHealing has no age limit. It's something we can start to do, regardless of the stage and phase we find ourselves in life.When we begin to heal, one of the natural effects of the process is becoming more in tune with our own sense of values, beliefs and convictions. As we discover our voice and what we believe in, we begin to find the language to articulate our thoughts, needs and desires. More importantly, we start to develop the confidence, and sometimes courage, to communicate our boundaries. How people respond and react to your boundaries tells you everything you need to know about how to position those people in your life.Here are 3 red flags you should never ignore when communicating your boundaries. In the most extreme of cases, paying attention to them can save your life.Do you have any questions?

We can appreciate the things people say and do for us, but taking the time to reciprocate, to match their energy, is the only way to ensure they feel that appreciation and feel equally valued.Rather than approach the holiday season with entitlement or expectancy, let's focus on matching the energy of the people we want in our lives for the long haul.Do you have any questions?

What I Learned the Hard Way so You Don't Have To | The Life Survival GuideAs this year comes to a close, I like to start reflecting on the year and think about how I feel about the decisions and choices I made.More importantly, I want my reflections to inform how I plan on showing up different in the upcoming year. Rather than focusing my time on what I'm grateful this year, I want to focus my energy on what qualities, traits and characteristics did I grow into and evolve away from this year.Grateful for the person my actions tell about who I am. And while it's great to feel gratitude and thankful for the people, places, and situations around us... it is equally important to have gratitude for the strengths, gifts, and abilities that awoken within us, too.Do you have any questions?
