October 11, 2021 Marc Champagne: “The Question Guy” and author of Personal Socrates
Marc Champagne is one rad human being. A podcast host, a Mental Fitness Strategist and most recently an author, he is the ultimate lover of questions and going beyond surface level conversation - with other people, and with oneself.
In this conversation, Marc and I discuss his huge transitions between hosting a top ranked podcast called Behind The Human and the co-creation of a journaling app which reached 86.9 million people and into his latest endeavour as an author. Marc’s love of questions has been deeply laced throughout his being as he’s studied mental fitness practices over the last decade and into his work as strategist, podcast host, and speaker. As Marc says, “We all ask questions - but are they the right ones, the best ones, and are we asking enough of them?”

August 30, 2021 Renee Reina; life after volleyball, and why authenticity and reflection really matter.
Renee Reina had a full ride scholarship to a university in Florida to play volleyball. After her first semester, she realized that she missed playing volleyball for fun, and a move back home was in order. With the decision to switch schools and direction came the challenges of navigating her identity without volleyball, something she’d played for so many years of her life.
Years later, Renee holds a Masters and a Ph. D in Psychology, has started a family, and is growing her social media platforms and podcast quickly and with intention. She’s the Mom friend you’ve always wanted, with her relatability and her ability to find humour in all things Mom-life.
With psychology training in defense mechanisms, attachment, and reflective functioning, this conversation is right up my alley!! We speak about the socialization of young girls, being quiet, and how crucial it is to share stories and questions and experiences regarding motherhood.
You don’t want to miss this episode!
