The beginning of the off-season often feels spacious and unhurried—but somewhere in the middle, things start to shift.

In this solo episode, I’m reflecting on the midpoint of the off-season and the tension many of us feel in January: balancing rest and productivity, reflection and action, and the quiet pressure to start moving again without rushing the process. If you’re navigating a slower season in life or business and feeling unsure about what actually needs your energy right now, this episode is for you.

We’ll talk about why the middle of a rest season can feel more uncomfortable than the beginning, how I’m reducing mental load and decision fatigue, what sustainable health and movement look like during winter, and how to stay grounded when your routines and rhythms look different than usual.

This episode is a gentle reminder that you don’t need to have everything figured out. You can honor rest, clarity, and intentional momentum—without burning out or forcing productivity. The in-between season still counts.

Before the goals, resolutions, and pressure to become someone new, this episode is a pause.

In this end-of-year reset, I’m reflecting honestly on the year that was — the growth, exhaustion, joy, and hard decisions behind the scenes. I’m sharing what worked, what didn’t, and the lessons this season taught me about health, balance, alignment, and being kinder to myself.

We’ll also look ahead with intention instead of pressure, focusing less on what we want to achieve and more on how we want to feel.

If you’re craving a slower, more grounded way to reflect and reset, this episode is for you.

Ever feel like the life you worked so hard to build suddenly doesn’t fit anymore? In this episode, I’m sharing the honest story of outgrowing a career, a city, and a version of myself I thought I’d always be — and what it really feels like to be caught in the “in-between” of who you were and who you’re becoming.

We’ll talk about the grief and relief of letting go, how to navigate big identity shifts, what to do when others still expect you to be the old you, and the small practices that helped me find my footing again.

If you’re feeling lost, restless, or unsure about the next chapter, this episode will remind you that you’re not stuck — you’re shifting. You’re becoming.

When the tourism season ends, there’s always a strange mixture of relief and disorientation. My body exhales, but my brain? It takes a while to get the memo. After months of “go mode,” my whole system forgets how to downshift — and honestly, rest has never come naturally to me.

In this episode, I’m sharing the messy, honest truth about my relationship with rest: why slowing down feels so uncomfortable, how burnout crept up on me a few years ago, and what I’ve learned about worth, productivity, and listening to my body before it starts yelling.

From working with a health coach and uncovering how high my cortisol levels really were, to redefining what rest actually means (hint: it’s not just lying on the couch), to exploring creative and emotional rest in my off-season, this chapter of my life has been one long lesson in letting go.

If you’ve ever struggled to rest, tied your worth to productivity, or felt your nervous system stuck in fight-or-flight long after the busy season ended, this episode is for you. I hope it encourages you to protect your rest, honor your limits, and realize that slowing down isn’t falling behind — it’s how we find our way back to ourselves.

The first morning I stepped onto the lobster boat, the world was still dark. The air was sharp with salt, the deck lights cut through the blackness, and my brand-new oil gear hadn’t yet earned its stains or stories. That day marked the start of a season I never expected to step into, one that pulled me away from screens and strategy decks and dropped me into the rhythm of the ocean.

In this episode, I’m taking you behind the sunrises you see on Instagram — into the cold 3:45 a.m. mornings, the physical grind of hauling traps, the unpredictable weather that tests your nerve, and the quiet moments on deck that make it all worth it. I’m sharing what it’s been like to trade the polished world of corporate life for something raw, physical, generational… and deeply clarifying.

Fishing alongside my dad, a man who’s spent over fifty years on the water, has reshaped how I think about work, control, and what it means to be rooted in something bigger than myself. With only two months to make a season and the tides calling the shots, I’ve learned quickly that the ocean doesn’t care about your plans, and sometimes, the only path forward is to trust the water beneath you.

If you’re entering a new chapter, craving a slower rhythm, or learning to loosen your grip on the things you can’t control, this story is for you. Come aboard with me as I share the lessons, the beauty, the chaos, and the quiet surrender of my first lobster season, and the ways it’s changing how I move through the rest of my life.

After years of climbing the corporate ladder and chasing every definition of “success,” I found myself craving something more. When a few unexpected twists—ending a long-term relationship, moving home to Prince Edward Island, and joining my family’s fishing business—changed everything, I had to learn what success really meant.

In this very first episode of Tides of Change, I’m sharing the story behind walking away from the grind and choosing a life that finally feels like mine. You’ll hear about the fear, freedom, and faith it took to trade titles and paychecks for salt air and sunrise mornings—and how redefining success became the best decision I ever made.

If you’ve ever felt that quiet tug that there’s more out there—more joy, more connection, more meaning—this episode is for you.
