Life can feel LARGE sometimes and with that comes that unfriendly feeling of overwhelm.

As with any big move, big decision or big commitment, it can feel daunting and intimidating to process it all. That's when the overwhelm creeps in and starts messing with our brains.

On this week's episode, we're tackling the conversation around how we feel when we experience overwhelm, how we deal with it and how we try to re-frame our thoughts around it.

Whether you're an ambitious woman who is making big moves or you're a Mom who is trying to keep it all together, we've got some thoughts to share with you and hopefully this episode serves as a reminder that you're not alone.

No matter how heavy it can feel, there is always someone who can help lighten the load so hopefully we can ease some of the pressure and share some tips & tools.

With all our love, light and gratitude,

Lynsey & Justine

It was time girlfriends....

After a few months off from the podcast, we felt the call to strike up the conversation again and this week's episode is a full catch up of what we've been up to.

Summer was large for each of us - in very different ways - but the one thing that never changed was our love and support for each other.

Tune into our first episode of SEASON FOUR to find out what we've been up to, how we got through and what we're planning for the future.

Thank you for listening and all of your love & support so far - we couldn't be more excited to be back!

With all our love, light and positive vibes,

Lynsey & Justine

Bringing a baby into the world is the hardest, most incredible experience a woman can have. The challenges and hardships of pregnancy all culminate to a moment in time when we're on the brink of exhaustion but somehow, we manage to push through and recently, Justine rose to the occasion.

While her birth story is nothing like she expected it would be, the experience was one we'll never forget. This week's episode is an honest, raw and authentic account of what that experience was like and how it felt for us both.

Spoiler alert:

Lynsey was there!

And we're spilling all the tea on what happened in that delivery room including the conversations we had, the moments we shared and the unfiltered details of what it's like to experience it from both sides.

We are Mom's, we are best friends and having shared this birth story has now levelled up our wife status to a whole other level so please join us in the celebration with this episode.

With all our love, light, gratitude and appreciation,

Justine & Lynsey

Welcome to a very special episode of The Shameless Era!

We wanted to take an hour to ourselves this week to share an intimate and inside look into the last 9 months of Justine's journey through pregnancy with Baby #3.

It's been an emotional experience (for both of us!) as we've navigated through the highs and lows of growing a baby and how that affected our plans, dreams and goals along the way.

**Hint hint** We moved the goal posts but the dreams have only gotten bigger & brighter! 😎

We're both sharing openly & honestly in this episode about our reactions to the unexpected pregnancy and how we've supported each other through. This was the final conversation before baby made their big debut and as of this publication, baby has arrived!

Listen to this episode for all the back story details and then stay tuned for next week when we'll share the birth story! (Trust us girlfriends - it's a doozy!)

With all our love, light & gratitude,

Justine & Lynsey

For the love of ambition, this episode is a must listen!

This week, we're stoked to welcome Danielle Hessler to The Shameless Era podcast because this woman is true powerhouse & leader in the community.

Danielle is the owner of Two Twelve Consulting & The Agency which provide human resources and recruitment services to businesses of all sizes. She built the company off the side of her desk after leaving a highly successful position that just wasn't checking off the boxes of balance or integration in her life.

Today, her businesses are thriving, she's a present and involved Mom of 3 and she leads by example in the Peace Region community. We couldn't wait to have this girlfriend on the podcast because whenever we're around Danielle, we have the kind of conversations that feel like chatting with an old friend.

She's truly a beauty of a person and we'd love for you to meet her!

(Ps - we apologize for a few little technical glitches in this recording. Acreage internet is a serious struggle!)

With all our love, light & gratitude,

Justine & Lynsey

Talk about shameless ambition! 👏🏻

We are thrilled to be joined this week on The Shameless Era by Meg Garland - influencer, homesteader, homeschooler and all-around authentic badass. 👊🏻

This woman has seriously found her peace with herself and the woman she wants to be in life, so it was refreshing to have such a candid conversation about her journey to getting there.

Meg truly drops the veil on what it means to be yourself and have an opinion as a curious woman who isn’t afraid to question or challenge the status quo. She has created an online platform of over 122,000 followers that supports her passions in life and she has established space to have the kind of conversations that allow her to grow within those passions.

Join us for a no-holds barred kind of chat where we dig into the nitty gritty of how you too can become more authentic as Meg shares what made all the difference for her. 🫶🏻

With all our love & light,

Justine & Lynsey

A mentor, a change-maker and a space holder, Krista is the kind of woman who truly elevates other women. 👏🏻

She embraces her partnership at The Breathing Room with the principles of yoga and is a leader in her community as the Board Chair of the Red Deer & District Community Foundation.

Her success is fuelled by her passion to serve & support others while injecting a healthy dose of grit, tenacity and resilience along the way.

Her contribution to the yoga community was recently recognized by Lulu Lemon when she officially became an ambassador and The Breathing Room is continuing to innovate and grow in very creative ways.

Krista is absolutely lovely and when you sit down to listen to our conversation with her, we have no doubt you’ll learn something that you can incorporate into your own journey. ✨

With all our love, light and gratitude,

Lynsey & Justine

Talk about a power duo! 👏🏻

Emma and Meghan are the kind of ambitious women who are having the big, inspired and creative conversations that lead to epic success.

Since starting their business in 2020, they have moved mountains (literally) in their partnership and overcome challenges as a team to create their wonderful world of 48th Media Co.

They have each other's backs, they motivate and hold each other accountable and they make sure to have a heck of a lot of FUN along the way.

Tune into this weeks episode for an inside look into the kind of partnership we wish all women could have because these two girlfriends are truly a shining example! ✨

Justine & Lynsey

Episode 3 is all about community. 🫶🏻

We're so thankful to be joined this week by Laura LaValley, CEO of the Northwestern Alberta Foundation.

Laura is truly a woman's woman and a champion for her community so it was an absolute pleasure to dive into her life, her experiences and some of the lessons she's learned along the way.

She shares her pride for her family, how she cherishes the female relationships in her life and how the guys have shown their support along the way.

We love Laura and we know you will too so grab a cup of coffee and settle in for the kind of conversation that feels like sittin' in Mama's kitchen.

With all our love, light and gratitude,

Justine & Lynsey
