How many of us set New Years Resolutions?

How many of us actually reach our goals?

What needs to change to help us push forward, find the motivation, and keep going – say, after the first week, the first month?

In this episode, I had the privilege of collaborating with the Distress Centres of Greater Toronto to provide a webinar on compassion fatigue for emerging health care professionals, Distress Centre volunteers, and the general public. You’ll walk away with an understanding of what compassion fatigue is, how to recognize the signs and symptoms, and how to respond if you feel you might be experiencing it. Thank you to Pace Law for sponsoring this event as part of the Distress Centre's Speaker Series.

In this episode, I share reflections, learnings, and resources to support you in principle-based reasoning and decision-making. I offer an invitation to reflect further on prioritizing principles as a way to help you find balance.  

In this episode, I speak with my good friend MJ Cyr about her experiences receiving unsolicited advice while pregnant with her first child. You'll walk away with insight into the unintended harmful effects of unsolicited advice, and some ways that you can respond next time to help the receiver feel more empowered and supported during difficult life experiences or transitions like pregnancy.

I'm also happy to share that since this episode was recorded, MJ has given birth to a beautiful and healthy baby girl, Kalda, who is already three months old! 

[Please note, there are small amounts of profanity near the end of the episode]. 

In this episode I welcome back my listeners and explain why I've decided to change the name of the podcast. I end by introducing my next guest who will be featured in next month's episode.  

In this episode I speak with Agnes Wood about hope and resilience during times of difficulty, and her advice on how to get through the tough times. Agnes grew up after the war and draws on her experiences immigrating to Canada and building a new life for herself in a land far from home - she now feels she has two countries in her heart and shares her learnings over the course of her life to this point. 

In this episode I, Roya Janemi, share my motivation behind starting Lessons from your Grandparents; a podcast where I speak to older adults.
