July 19, 2024 Episode 188 What in the actual Internet?! Part 5
In the final episode of what in the actual Internet of the season I chat about some nutty Internet drama!
From the Clinton Kane/Brooke Schofield drama were she alleges he’s lied about SO MUCH of his life from where he is from to his family menaces passing…. to Tana Mongeau revealing some pretty disturbing details with a hook up with she was 17 ANDDDD one of the biggest gamers out there talking to minors.
It’s insane out there but I want to point out that we don’t know anyone we don’t have in our personal lives.
Heck sometimes we don’t know them even so jsut make sure you aren’t stan-ing a turd and realize our fave people can be shit people too!
Join me on the last drama filled episode of the season

July 12, 2024 Episode 187 Being Real with Amber; Author of the Obedient Daughter
The final segment of Being real with of the season is one with everything you could imagine in it.
I am joined by Amber Hayes, author of the book “The Obedient Daughter” (releasing September 2024) to share us what it was like to become a new author and share her story.
Amber had endured s*xual child abuse from the ages of 5-12 by a very close family member. One that was a favourite in the family. That, fuelled with a mother who had a narcissistic disorder, Amber learned to push it down for decades.
Until she was faced with symptoms that were presenting like MS but not testing that way. After having enough of being in a deep depression she reached out to get some flak therapy and she came to find out what was causing all of this.
The abuse she suffered could not longer be ignored without doing some serious damage to her life, physically, mentally and spiritually. So she faced it head on.
Fast forward to now, she is healing, has made leaps and bounds in releasing guilt and shame and now is on a mission to help others to be inspired to speak up and share their experiences.
Not only for their current selves, past selves but for those around us who maybe need that confirmation they deserve better too ♥️
Very powerful episode with an even more powerful woman!
Tune in on all streaming platforms and make sure to watch out for her book launch!

July 05, 2024 Episode 186 Keeping up with Canada Part 9
In the FINAL (can you believe it) segment of Keeping up with Canada this season I share a couple of bills that sound winning and one that’s got me sus and icky.
First bill I chat about is Bill C-368 proposing “amends the Food and Drugs Act to provide that natural health products are not therapeutic products within the meaning of that Act”.
Meaning they are not subject to the same regulations as pharmaceuticals. Which happened in Bill C-47.
This bill we are here for!
Bill C-293 I am left feeling lost and confused and icky if I’m being honest. It’s big and boring and I see why no one wants to read this stuff.
My question is… we put in laws to hold government accountable but they don’t do it or retract or refuse to release information soooooo…… adding more does what exactly?
You babes let me know! This has me lost. But I hear WHO and I am like NURRRR.
And lastly I talk about an update to Bill S-12 that puts more control in the victims of abused hands, more control over information being shared about their cases as well as updates on their abuses, PLUS updates on the s*x offender registration lists.
An Oreo episode of what I think is Good-Bad-Good.

June 28, 2024 Episode 185 Being real about Spirituality with Sarah
I cannot WAIT for you babes to hear this episode with Sarah about spirituality.
For those that know Sarah Connolly you know she’s a powerful, magical being here to help the earth fall in love with life again!
& in this episode I get 2 full glorious hours picking her brain about what being spiritual means to her, how she came to her current expression of self, how she is working to help others and we also call out some red flags that live within this healing space.
Learning so much from this soul not only on this episode but on her socials & through her podcast, Big Little Soul podcast (available on same platforms as me!) has been so inspiring I really feel like everyone can learn something about themselves in her space!
We also touch on some red flags that have surfaced within the healing space I think is very important for others to know about so they ensure to bring their healing to the right hands.
If you are new to your spiritual side, been in it for a while or your whole I think you’ll enjoy this episode!
I am so grateful to connect with such light beings and learning more and more about myself and this world and I hope you do too ♥️

June 21, 2024 Episode 184 What in the actual Internet?! Part 4
A solo adventure on Part 4 & it’s a doozy!
I have 3 different stories for you.. all very different and all different levels of… questionable. Ok one is funny and 2 are gross.
First off, I share a story of a YouTuber who faked her pregnancy and “miscarriage” (technically would have been a stillborn) to make fun of parasocial relationships and to promote her Patreon. 🫠 Outstanding citizens we have out here!
Next I chat about some really light funny business called the “Soft guy Era” & what the heck drizzle drizzle means.
& to be honest I’m still not sure I know still 😂
And lastly, we end with a horrible story of abuse by the hands of parents who left their daughter to die on her couch after years of neglect while leading what seemed to be a normal life on the outside.
It’s insane what happened behind some closed doors.
Join me on this next episode to hear more wild shit I found on the interwebs!

June 14, 2024 Episode 183 Being Real with Starsan
In this 🌶️ episode, I get real with one of my favourite real talkers out there.
Starsan (Cassandra) joins me in the next segment of being real and we hit so many topics from the body positivity movement, to her experience being a fan of it and then calling some things out in it to abortion and reproductive rights to our personal lives and of course, some political digs because we can!
I stumbled across this gem on YouTube one day, speaking on how she was essentially fooled by the body positivity movement and sharing the red flags she was seeing and her own personal experiences.
We know I’m all about that shit.
I absolutely love her energy and her sass and was so grateful when she agreed to chat to me about what it’s like speaking out against something you used to stand by and how she’s been treated while doing so.
We can’t have bullying and harassment when people are sharing their experiences and asking questions.
It shuts down so much and that’s dangerous.
We have to be honest with ourselves and share the hard truths. And at the very least, allow people to have their honest opinions.
This episode is jam packed with honest opinions and sassy energy that you know you need to be apart of 👏

June 07, 2024 Episode 182 Keeping up with 🇨🇦 Pt 8 with Torva & Donovan
Another awesome piece added to the Keeping up with Canada series and this time I have a POWER COUPLE joining me.
In part 8, I bring on Torva (Kristin) Logan & Coach Donovan James back to catch up and chat about insane legislation.
We start by catching up with Torva’s story of saving her life time and time again from the incapable hands of 🇨🇦 healthcare and what that was like to live through.
We then discuss some scary bills that have already passed and one that is just simmering atm.
Patients like Torva are being left behind because of the wild overstep the BC gov has taken towards health care practitioners in Bill B-36.
Of course this passed during the holidays at the tail end of the insanity so naturally most were too emotionally defeated or unaware to fight back.
It is now law. So… cool.
Then we talk about the attack on Natural Health Care products (Bill C-47) by forcing every day herbalists to be treated like big pharma companies…. So that’s another cool one?
The fact that this was even considered, let alone passed is wild to me.
These big corporations have the funding to run through all this and paying all these fees yet ma and pa shops making homemade remedies are now being treated like a Johnson & Johnson?! They do not make that much to sustain those fees and regulations.
Dafuq.
And last but not least, they are trying to take away freedom of online content by presenting it as a bill to help child exploitation but we know how that goes through Bill C-63. They tend to use great ideas at the forefront but take away even more in the fine line printing.
Of course we wanna save kids but why can we leave it there??
But this is just what we think! You should look these up yourself and see what you feel like!

May 31, 2024 Episode 181 Being Real about MLMs
As previously mentioned I am beyond excited to have Kalika back on the show chatting with me about multi level marketing.
As a follow up to her first episode with me in Season 6 (Episode ) I just HAD to have her back to dive deeper.
We chat about what is an mlm, what are the signs you are in one, ways these groups can be predatory and manipulative and about her recent event presenting warnings to consumers so the others in this space.
Kalika spent a big part of her adult life cheering on the mlm model, the peers she made & striving to be the best should could until little by little, the true beast behind most of these companies reared its ugly head.
So she walked away and decided to share her experiences and others so more people can be informed about these and many other schemes.
After gaining momentum speaking out against these models, Kalika and some other creators found themselves at the hands of some aggressive “leaders” & their following as they had their accounts shut down for no reason.
These kind of tactics done fly here babes.
I cannot stand this type of harassment, bullying and silencing.
You should be able to speak to bad experiences and make it better.
Instead y’all bully and belittle.
F that noise.
Truly loved having this queen back on and so absolutely proud of her!
Join myself and Kalika as we chat all this mlm!

May 24, 2024 Episode 180 Being Real about Mental Health with Vassilena
This episode is jam packed with so many motivational nuggets you guys are going to love it!
In this real talk about mental health, Vassilena joins me to share her journey with mental health, how she changed the direction of her life after a robbery and has been aggressively diving into helping others heal as well through years of education & practice.
Not only is this babe a clinical counsellor with over 14 years of practice, she’s also a life coach and a fashion stylist.
We love a Swiss Army knife kind of babe. So many talents in one gem 😍
A babe helping other babes in every way possible!
And I am so here for this!
Such a beautiful talk about vulnerability, hope and the trials and tribulations it can take to heal but the worth out ways the struggle without a doubt.
Mental health is such a big topic but sometimes there is too much out there. That’s why I like to bring those passionate on to share as they see real life experiences and that is priceless to me.
Even if your mental health is in a good space right now, definitely recommend having a listen in case that changes one day or someone you love is going through it.
Knowledge is power and one of the biggest fighters against mental health issues.
Grateful for humans like Vassilena healing the world one babe at a time ♥️
