October 17, 2019 TGIT – Perspectives on money
Thank Goodness It’s Thursday! Another day, another drive, another roadside recording! Some fun Thanksgiving weekend updates, including the wrap up to the tire saga that started last week! A really lovely weekend in the Koots, and some intense games of Scrabble. The drive is beautiful, but it’s very long! So I listen to podcasts. Not … Continue reading "TGIT – Perspectives on money"

October 14, 2019 From Miss Universe, to entrepreneur
Myana and I met in Bali, and immediately feel into a genuine friendship. This girl is a powerhouse, and I admire her so greatly. From growing up as an island girl, moving around the world, modelling, and even being Miss Universe to becoming a very ambitious entrepreneur, Myana is a force to be reckoned with. She’s real, she’s compassionate, she’s intelligent, and she sets really high goals for herself – then puts the work in to achieve them. Myana shares some personal stories about what it was like growing up on the islands, what being Miss Universe entails, about some of her struggles with endometriosis, and many others. Her stories are from the heart, and I hope you love our “visit” and her stories and messages!

October 10, 2019 TGIT – Finding balance and saying no
Thank Goodness It’s Thursday!
This week’s TGIT elaborates a little on how I reset when I feel overwhelmed, how I work towards finding balance, and what goes on inside my squirrel brain sometimes with my mind’s internal dialogue. My mind is always on the go…
A text from a friend sparked a chat about the fact that we shouldn’t assume, so I elaborate on The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz, and why they are so important to incorporate into your life. That trails into some more chats with another friend about communication and how difficult it can be to speak our truth… but how important it is to do! There are also some updates on how things have been going here in BC, and why winter tires have created so much drama in my life this week.

October 07, 2019 Working through the challenges of infertility
Back in July, while chasing content around Western Ontario, I met up with an old friend, Natasha Grant. In this episode, Natasha (joined by her sweetheart daughter Charlie!) opens up and elaborates on the challenges she and her husband Kyle faced with secondary infertility last year. They conceived their son Finn almost immediately after saying “I do!” – but their journey with their second born, Charlie, was far from that. From highs and lows, waiting for phone calls, referrals and appointments, hormone injections and procedures, this story sheds light on something many people experience.
Natasha and Kyle are such a powerful team, and collectively hope that their story helps people feel understood and less alone.
They welcome any questions and stories and offer support and ears to anyone who needs to talk!

October 03, 2019 TGIT – Surprise! … Back from Ontario, and teaching already!
Thank Goodness It’s Thursday!
Well here’s an update for the books… I am back in BC after a visit in Ontario! – yes, you read that correctly… I was in Ontario last weekend, and it was AMAZING. It was definitely strange to be there and not see my besties or have a car at my disposal to use to get where I wanted to go when I wanted or needed to. It was a massive time crunch – but was so worth it. I surprised my whole family (stories included!), spent Friday night with my sister and my nieces, was a plus-one at a wedding on Saturday, had great visits with my parents and grandparents, and got my required vulnerable sector check completed for my BC teaching requirements… flew in first thing on Tuesday, taught yesterday, and have another gig today! GO MODE to the extreme, and I love it.
HAPPY OCTOBER!
