Thank you so much for tuning in to this episode of That's So Maven! I have two other big thank yous to shell out this week...

Firstly, you've hopefully heard by now that That's So Maven! is a proud member of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB Financial, so I need to thank Karen, Katrina, and the rest of that team for their support! 

Secondly, you may have already seen the podcast's amazing new logo on social media, and I need to give a huge shoutout and thank you to Shawna Iwaniuk for her fantastic work on it. She did such a brilliant job of capturing the imagery, style, and spirit I wanted the logo to have, and I cannot recommend her enough! Click through to her website to see more of her work, and to hire her for your next project! 

Next week, we're getting visual with photographer Jillian Schecher, who's always been a fan of capturing images of "stuff and things" and has turned that love into a career as a brand photographer (and beyond)! 

See you next week!

At the same time, Alexis is building an incredible community of amazing vegan and gluten-free food, body positivity, self love, and just really fucking loving who you are!

This week, I sat down with Maggie Barton Baird, self-proclaimed Theatre Kid turned event and wedding planner at MB&Company. Maggie's really open about being a feminist in the wedding industry and we had a great conversation about, well, starting and having the conversation about how the industry can feel exclusionary, and how important it is to create safe space in the industry to allow and encourage everyone to be who they are and do what feels right for them on their big day.

As you may have already heard (if you've already hit play on Episode 56), I have some super exciting news to share with you all. I am honoured and absolutely thrilled to share that That's So Maven! is part of the Alberta Podcast Network, powered by ATB.

This is a huge opportunity for the show to reach a lot more listeners, and it's a great way for podcasts in the province to support one another, too. This is just the first wave of podcasts (there are 10 of us so far), and everything is brand new, so make sure you stay tuned to the network's website and social media in the coming weeks to learn more! I want to personally send a huge thank you to ATB for being such a strong part of the community in Edmonton and Alberta. This support is a big deal to relatively little podcasts like mine, and it means the world! 

Next week, I'll be chatting with Alexis Hillyard, who has been building an incredible community of support, body positivity, inclusion, love, and damn delicious vegan and gluten-free eats with her YouTube channel, Stump Kitchen!

See you next week!

This week's episode is brought to you by Andrea Beça Work. 

This is something I hear a lot from my clients: "I HATE watching myself on video, but I love this! You made me look so good!" To be honest, I don't think it has anything to do with lighting and camera angles; it's all about shaping your story to capture your passion and represent who you are. I love getting to know each and every person I work with, and I take pride in helping to tell every story I get to be a part of. When I hear that my clients love watching their videos, I feel like I've done my job well. 

This is what sets me apart from a lot of other film production and videography companies. With 15 years of writing, directing, and producing experience, I've spent my life shaping and telling stories. It's not about hitting record and then throwing your video up on YouTube; it's about showing the world who you are through thoughtfully shot video and careful editing. 

I'm currently booking into August. To get started, email [email protected] or visit www.andreabeca.work.

Thank you, as always, for tuning into this week's episode of the show. There are some very exciting episodes coming up, including some that will be very different from our usual episodes, and there's also a lot of exciting news coming soon! Until I have more to share about all of those things, what I can tell you is that next week, we'll meet Kirsta Franke of Wild Heart Collective, perhaps known best as the organizers of the 124 Street Grand Market!

See you next week!

This week, I sat down with Valeeshia Young, owner of Hello Valeeshia, which offers administrative solutions for musicians. I thought it would be especially interesting to chat with Valeeshia because she just launched her business about a month ago. As you'll see from our conversation, she had a lot of great stories and wisdom to share already.
