Turn Yourself Up Podcast

In this episode, I sit down with Winnipeg Hip Hop Dance Instructor (and legend) Genie Baffoe. I've taken a few of his classes with dancewgenie.com and he is the most charismatic, upbeat, make-you-feel-good-even-when-your-tripping-over-two-left-feet instructor I've ever had. So naturally, I had to interview him and find out what his secret was to being himself 100% of the time, loud and proud.

f you want to see more of GeNie and learn about the history of Hip Hop in Winnipeg, his premier documentary, Our Scene, premieres July 28th at the WAG. Tickets are on Eventbrite or at the door.

Sharing with you some of my affirmations from my journal tonight. This short meditation is for self-compassion, self-love and reminding yourself of your inherent worth.

My mom taught me to have a love for learning and to find joy in the little things. She was the wisest women I know. This episode is a very special recording of an interview with her last year. She shares her lessons from 30+ years in the education system. These wise words not only apply to teaching or to raising kids but to how you can approach life in general.

Please listen, share, and go hug a loved one.

The Turn Yourself Podcast is back for its second transformational season. Host and Coach, Jessica Watson, shares her wisdom on creating positive change in your life and becoming the "You" of your dreams. The kind of "You" that lives the life you want to live and does the things you want to do!

Jessica explores self-care, creativity, and the relationship between our body and mind. The more self-awareness you gain, the more you are able to make BIG things happen in your life. This podcast will help you LISTEN to your body, LISTEN to your mind, and learn to bring the two together to find flow, ease, and the present moment.

You can expect to be enthralled by conversations with intelligent, creative, and honest guests, recorded coaching sessions with Jessica, and insights from the Creative Coach herself.

Stay tuned for new episodes of the Turn Yourself Up Podcast every Monday and Friday.

I was so lucky to have this conversation with Rabbi and Jewish Educator, Jen Clayman. We talk about spirituality and personal development and how that is connected. I myself come from a secular background but am starting to have more questions about the w

I struggle with this all the time. The balance between feeling so disorganized that I need structure and feeling so confined by structure that I need freedom for creativity.

In this episode, I muse about this challenge for me and a new idea that may help you get the kind of results only patience and consistency of following a plan gives you.

Caity Curtis has made a career for herself being an improvisor and improv teacher. In our conversation, we talk about improv and what it tells us about ourselves and how it teaches us to let go of our inner chatter.

There is a lot of cross over in the art of improv and creating positive visions for your life. We explore the intersection of improv, creativity and also life coaching.

Caity believes in putting a variety of voices on stage and has made it her mission to do so this year as the Associate Artistic Director of the board for the Winnipeg Improv Festival.

In this episode, I'm chatting with my good friend and client, Alessandra Sorto.

She is going to give you her perspective into where coaching has taken her in the past year and how she has shifted her mindset. She is also going through a career identity change. We get into what it has been like for her to commit to switching paths. Her creative process around writing and creating fictional worlds, and her life lessons from her solo trip to Australia.

Aless is sweet and funny and a great story-teller - enjoy!

Our beliefs are formed from stories. We take little meanings from our experiences and decide to take them as truth. Unconsciously of course. Until we over come the story by happening around it or actively change it, we are unknowingly controlled by these little rules. 

I discover stories about myself often. I try my best, when I discover a story that is negatively serving me to decide not to believe it. If it is just a story, I can choose to believe a new story. It is up to me what I believe and what rule influences my decisions. 

Today I unveiled a new story.

We can't create the life of our dreams if we don't have a clear picture of what that looks like! People who are considered visionaries are able to paint a vivid dream with exact details, share it with others, and keep it in sight while they continue to take action until it becomes a reality. It's a skill that anyone can learn. In this episode, I'll walk you through why visualizations are so powerful and how to create one for your own dreams. There is a guided visualization to create your ideal day.  Let me know what you created by leaving a comment below!  Interested in developing your vision further? At my Dream Creators Bootcamp in April, we will be developing powerful visions for your idea and using them to gain the motivation and knowledge of where to go next.  Register before Friday, March 17th at 5pm and receive 3 bonus private coaching sessions with yours truly. If you miss that deadline, register before Mar 24th at 5pm and receive 1 private session! Hope to see you there!
