Once known as a power-executive in Vancouver, BC, Michele currently resides approximately 7hrs and 3 ferry rides away from the corporate life she once knew to be the daily grind. When the pandemic hit, she lost her job and went to find herself. Little did she know that a trip to Hornby Island would inspire a complete shift in life. She found the last piece of property available on the island and convinced her partner that going coastal was worth a shot. She shares her relationship with goal setting, vision boards and most of all, manifesting the most beautiful foxy-morons that only make sense to her.It was a true delight to connect with Michele who not only is thriving on island-life, yet is also the Head of Marketing for an incredible adventure brand called VSSL.Links:VSSL: vsslgear.ca

I met Doug Evans at his last start up in SF, where he spent his days full of crazy ideas and walking on his standing desk treadmill way before standing desks were a thing. You might know Doug from previous vegan pursuits like Organic Avenue in NYC or Juicero, yet what he really wants you to know about is the accessibility and nutritional availability of sprouts. Full stop. Sprouts are Life! He has gone on to write a book – The Sprout Book, currently on it’s 6th edition, having never finished college. He speaks about the challenges of his writing ability, the procrastination struggle and best of all – how he dances with big, daunting dreams! It’s impossible to not be inspired by such a brilliant, wild man who lives in the desert and mediates in the hot springs. PS – please go buy his book today.LINKS:The Sprout Book: https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07Y73BW8X/

It started as a side hustle, out of the side of a local kitchen, to a group of Mom’s who helped spread the word in Whistler, BC. Ed, a passionate or dare we say, obsessed baker has turned the side hustle into one of our favourite local vegan bakeries with the support of his partner, Tash. Churning out over 150 loaves of sourdough a day, this is not simply a “pandemic hobby” — this is a new way of life. And when having the chance to speak with entrepreneurs who are crafting their way to making a dent in the universe, one loaf of a bread at a time, we can’t help but get excited! Tash put it so well: “We are selling happiness” — and it is indeed the most delicious version of happiness in the village.LINKS:Ed’s Bred Website: www.edsbred.comEd’s Bred Instagram: instagram.com/eds_bredEd’s Bred Facebook: facebook.com/EdsBReD

Self-proclaimed goal-junkies, Cecily and Steph continue to wrestle with the “old way” and stretch into new ways of proclaiming their future. The act of goal-setting is a constant state of living into the future, yet it can easily leave one not present to the moment at hand. If 2020 taught us all anything, it was just how precious each fleeting moment is. To compliment that, these two ladies dove into a conversation of declaring intentions. Like putting on a fluffy pair of slippers or lacing up racing flats, the intention is set when your feet hit the sole of whichever shoe. Cecily reminds us that intentions set the way and show you the path; the goal is always simply a guiding light.

Inspired by meeting this beautiful stranger, Steph caught up with Dominik on his tales of the last decade. As a student who failed his pilot’s license exams, he decided to make it through high school only long enough to get out and head straight to Spain for the hike of a lifetime: the camino de santiago. 800km later, he spent 30 days hiking and only took one day of rest for his weary, blistered feet. He recorded his journey and after 7 years of writing, has published his first book! During that time, life has taken him on it’s own adventure moving to Canada, taking up running and exploring new passions. It’s impossible to not be inspired by people taking action.LINKSUltreya on the Camino: amzn.to/2WeoQ2gMore About the Author: dominik-trottier.deBook Trailer: youtube.com/watch?v=F0lREOb6eK0
