  • 43. Identifying What You're Best At

    We all feel it. We've been in our careers for 10+ years by this point - we have experience, know ourselves better, maybe seen more of the world, started a family, and thinking, "So I'm doing what now with my life?" Even for those that are lucky enough to be in a professional field that they're content with, we seem to all experience some level doubt if we're in the very best field for our goals, skill sets, and passions. Half the battle can be getting clear on what we're really good at, and, if it can actually generate a living. With us today is Tristan Wright, a small business maven based in Australia, who successfully combined a business and a passion to grow a profitable enterprise with his first business, Seight, a cycling clothing company. After experiencing some personal hardships in his late 20's, it force Tristan to reconsider his career path, and he's now helping other businesses, entrepreneurs and individuals figure out how to do the very same thing. Get your notebooks ready.

  • 42. When Your Friends Move to the Suburbs

    A decision many of us face in our as we get older - moving to the suburbs. The shift of mindset into putting our roots down and being in our forever space requires a decision, "Are we or aren't we?" Subsequently, these changes have an inadvertent effect on our friendships. Whether we are moving or they are, we talk about situational and geographic convenience, adjusting expectations, the new notion of traveling to see friends, changes in lifestyle, and the priority of making and continuing to build on friendships for our future.

  • 41. Never Too Old For Huge Goals

    We're leaning heavily into the very typical and very real opportunity for setting goals. The C.S. Lewis quote: "You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream" comes to mind here. As we grow, thoughts of what we CANNOT tend to take precedence over the things we CAN. We can often think to ourselves, "I'm too old for this, Is this even realistic?, or I don't know how to do that." With us today is 6-time marathon runner Tom Howie, who started running races in his 30's. Tom ran his first marathon when he was 35 and he's here to talk to us about what fuels him to run, how he's challenged himself, and how creating and achieving a goal has no age-stamp.

  • 40. Taking a Beat

    Welcome back! Today's episode is about about taking a beat, stopping for a moment, or taking a pause. January takes a minute to settle into - with a personal year end review etched into our memory, we've got changes we want to make in our lives - and with some 300 odd days on the horizon, we've got this want/need to speed things up. After some reflection and many (many) conversations, we've discovered, what we REALLY want, is to slow it down. This convo is about what's resonating with us as we develop our goals for the year, and that is, to take a beat.

  • 39. Leaving Your 30's

    We're talking about leaving our 30's and turning the big 4-0. We're effectively using today to celebrate Anis, because she's turning 40 in a few day so I (Tabs) want to get her perspective on how she's feeling about all of it.

  • 38. Getting Fancy w/o Overdrawing

    Gearing up for the holiday season, its hard not to notice that being in our 30's is synonymous with having a calendar filled with work, charity, and family events that require us to get fancy. As Tom Ford puts it, " dressing well is a form of good manners." In a world of click to buy, our wallets take a hit during festive times - so the question arises - how do we get fancy without overdrawing, keep our wallets intact, and be well-mannered? We sit with Julie Buczkowski and Angela Pastor, the brilliant minds and visionaries behind The Fitzroy - Dress Rental Magic inToronto. They talk to us about offering an alternative way to access one-wear pieces. By sharing and reusing outfits we spend less, get fancier, and stay cute.

  • 36. Health Series Part 2 - Your Teeth in Your 30's
    Today we're talking about teeth. Which might not seem like the most stimulating arena, but it's important. Our mouth is the gateway to our bodies and we should be giving it the same love, care and attention that we do with our skin, our physiques and our mental health. We have Dr. Andrea Gelinas to tell us all the things going on inside our mouths, and she is, without a doubt, one of Toronto's leading visionaries and changemakers. She has disrupted the dentistry industry by creating Gelinas Dental that looks more like a salon or very cool boutique than the typical dentist office, which is all part of her master plan to change the way we think about going to the dentist.

Dr. Maureen has extensive education in nutrition, supplementation, Koren Specific Technique, and bioenergetic medicine.

  • 34. Budgeting as New Parents
    Whether it's a first child, second, third, or tenth - whether the nugget is planned or unplanned, or whether you're independently wealthy and can dole out extra funds like Oprah, children cost money and no matter how you look at it, they require a shift in our finances. Here to talk to us about the things we should be considering is the incredible Shannon Le Simmons. She's the coolest financial planner you'll ever meet, a best selling author and mother of two. Having started her own company New School of Finance, she's the resident financial expert on CBC Metro Morning, the Globe and Mail, and The Marilyn Denis Show. Shannon speaks to us about the moving parts in our financial lives when we're about to undertake one of the largest responsibilities of our lives.
