The Oh Hi Podcast

I was HOWLING while chatting with Nikki Cloutier, I think you will too! She brought such energy and joy to the pod today. We chat about her rugby & first responder career, starting a business days before the pandemic, not giving a f***, and more! Tune in today if you want a good laugh and to learn about perseverance and having a positive attitude (or making an effort to :P).

No April Fool's here! Today I got to chat with Adam Tymko, and I feel like he could've shared a dozen other stories! We chatted about his mindset when choosing his career, being in discovery mode to develop his spirituality, deepening his meditation practice, and takeaways from just a few of his travels. Adam's got some exciting things going on in the near future, so perhaps we'll get an update episode down the road! :)

20th episode! When I first started this podcast, my goal was to record 20 episodes, not really sure where things would go or how I'd get there. But here we are, and it's been such a joyful ride! I'm so glad I got to spend this special episode with Daphne (@noeldee), my first "stranger!" We chat about her journey in becoming a Reiki Master (so cool!), how her spiritual identity has changed over the years, staying curious, and more! Here's to the next 20!

What an episode! Carole and I met years ago at work, but at best we were acquaintances. Carole discovered my podcast recently and reached out, and we were able to reconnect by recording an episode! You're in for a treat - Carole is such a great storyteller. I was captivated by her stories of past and present. We chat about defining periods in her life, being stuck in emotionally abusive relationships, becoming self-aware of patterns, and finding gratitude in it all. Enjoy!

We didn't get to everything that Carole is up to now, but check her out on Instagram @puposeclaritylove

Time always goes by quickly when I'm chatting with my guests, but today did in particular! I got to spend some time with Stacey Bootsman today, and found out we actually have a lot in common: rugby, CrossFit, and letting go of control and expectations (ha!). We chat about her active nature growing up, how that's transitioned into her current life, modeling that for her kids, being intentional about community, and more! Plus, I really like her description words ;) Enjoy!

It's crazy to think that Lindsey and I have only met once in person, but have talked online so much more, and so it feels like I know her better than I do. So I was looking forward to actually understanding her story more. She's got quite the story! We talk about her reasons for going into and out of social work, navigating anxiety and pain, the power of food, and more! Find Lindsey @be.wellwithlindsey on Instagram to see her great content!

*I was having audio issues this episode - sorry! I tried to fix the echo with my limited (but growing) editing skills. If anyone has any tips for next time, let me know!

I think I had a smile on my face the whole time during my chat today with my friend, Jaclyn! See if you can listen to her talk without having a smile on your face, or being in a better mood after. We chat about her positive outlook, being called a unicorn, becoming best friends with her husband, and pursuing meaning in her career as a Recreational Therapist. Enjoy!

I got to chat with an old classmate, CJ Baker, today. CJ and I were more so acquaintances during our university days, so I was really looking forward to getting to know him a bit better. We chat about life after university, switching careers once the joy is gone, working on something that fills your soul, and more! I hope you enjoy :)

Today I got to catch up with my very flexible, creative, and chill friend, Tori Taphorn (those are the 3 words I would use to describe her lol)! It has been a long minute since we chatted, so I was so looking forward to hearing about everything that's been new for her. Tori shares about her upbringing in rural Alberta, curating her education to compliment her passion for art, and exploring new ways to be able to share her artistic creations with others, all while stretching her comfort zone. I hope you enjoy!

5-6-7-8! What a great time I had today catching up with an old friend of mine, Amanda Ducharme. I haven't spoken to Amanda in over 10 years so I really was looking forward to seeing what she's been up to! We talked about her career that she's built from her passion of dance and human movement, making dance more accessible for her community, getting married right before the pandemic, and gaining wisdom from the generation before us. If you've ever thought about taking some fun and inclusive dance classes, find Amanda at Servus Place in St. Albert. Also, check out @orchesisdanceyeg or www.orchesisdancesoc.ca. We didn't get to this on the episode, but Amanda has a clothing line! Check out her Instagram @adfitness_dance
