  • Am I a victim of sexual assault? Ft. Tiffany-Chantal Mckechnie

    Trigger Warning: If you have been sexually assaulted, this guide may contain information that is painful or difficult to read.

    In this episode, Tiffany and I will be discussing sexual assault by sharing our own experiences and will express the importance of its awareness. Unfortunately, sexual assault is common and is the only violent crime in Canada not on a decline. Lets talk about it.

    What is considered sexual assault?

    Types of sexual assault include any unwanted sexual activity:

    • attempted rape
    • fondling
    • unwanted sexual contact or touching
    • forcing victim to perform sexual acts (i.e. oral penetration or other forms of sex)
    • rape: unlawful sexual intercourse or penetration of the victim’s body by a body part or object

    Some important things to remember about consent include:

    • a person can change their mind about consenting to sexual acts at any time
    • consenting to one sexual act does not mean they consent to all or further acts
    • consent to past sexual acts or current sexual acts does not guarantee future consent
    • consent is about communication, whether with words or verbal cues or physical signs
    • minors are particularly vulnerable and the minimum age of consent in many states is 16
    • those with developmental or intellectual disabilities may also not have the ability to give content to sexual activity

    What to do if you were sexually assaulted:
    1. Seek Safety And Support
    2. Consider Seeking Medical Care
    3. Find Ways To Address And Process The Incident
    4. Decide Whether To File A Sexual Assault Claim

  • "We All Have The Same 24 Hours" | Kim Kardashian & Molly Mae

    Today Sydnee gives her TRUE thoughts w/no filter on Molly Mae and Kim Kardashians statements, as they provide their advice to aspiring young women building a business.

    So many people are putting all of their energy into just surviving, staying sober, or keeping the electricity on while others don't have to work hard at all and are perfectly content to bask in whatever was handed to them. We each experience 24 hours in a day, but those 24 hours are rarely the same.

    The Advice:
    Molly Mae
    “When I've spoken about that in the past I have been slammed a little bit, with people saying 'it's easy for you to say that because you've not grown up in poverty, so for you to sit there and say we all have the same 24 hours in a day is not correct. ' But, technically, what I'm saying is correct. We do.”

    Kim Kardashian
    “I have the best advice for women in business,” Kim says. “Get your fucking ass up and work. It seems like nobody wants to work these days.”

  • Attachment Styles In Relationships

    What is your attachment style? How does it play a role in your relationship?

    The 4 Attachment Styles:

    1) Anxious (Preoccupied) 
    2) Avoidant (Dismissive) 
    3) Secure
    4) Disorganized (Fearful - Avoidant) 

    How does your attachment style affect your relationships?
    The quality of our early attachments profoundly influences our relationships later in life.

    Our style of attachment affects everything from our partner selection to how well our relationships progress to, sadly, how they end. That is why recognizing our attachment pattern can help us understand our strengths and vulnerabilities in a relationship. An attachment pattern is established in early childhood attachments and continues to function as a working model for relationships in adulthood.

  • Coping With Grief & Loss | of a loved one

    Hello Friends, 

    Today we are talking about healthy ways to grieve a loss of a loved one. I always want to keep things real and on a personal level with everyone, so I provided a personal story of mine to add to todays topic.  My story involves the sudden passing of my grandmother. As I walk you along my journey throughout my grieving process, I can offer my experience on the topic and give some advice to those struggling now. Death is inevitable, so always make the most out of everyday. Each day we have on earth is a blessing. Take the extra time to remind family/friends how much you mean to them. 
     
    Wishing you a carefree Sunday, take care lovelies. :)

  • Are You Living With ADHD?

    Hi Guys,

    I'm happy to be back for this weeks podcast episode and even more excited to be discussing Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).  

    What is ADHD? 
    ADHD is a mental health disorder that can cause above-normal levels of hyperactive and impulsive behaviours. People with ADHD may also have trouble focusing their attention on a single task or sitting still for long periods of time. Both adults and children can have ADHD.

    I look forward to hearing your thoughts on the podcast, so don't be shy and feel free to reach out. I hope this Wednesday treats you kindly :)
