We're Totally (Not) OK

N.B.: This episode was recorded on an earlier date.

The superbly delightful Sarah Ney joins us in-studio to talk about Wildlings — an educational camp for kids, providing authentic outdoor experiences and equal access to programs by children in all areas of The Georgian Triangle. Sarah shares her vision for Wildlings, her joy for nature, and a personal story that brought her to where she is with it all.

Please note, we talk about some sensitive stories, which may have the potential to be trigger-some — things such as PTSD, suicide. We also talk about those moments we say, “I’m fine,” how it’s OK to go to therapy, take medication, or cancel plans.

A girl who rarely spoke as a kid, Sarah opens up and runs our hearts over with love, for her, for our younger generations, for each other, for this world.

That ending scene in Bombshell about believing victims’ stories, and a heartfelt thank you to Sarah for “being that person” for us.

We all have struggles, right? Maybe not. Sharadha’s just not a believer that life has to be a struggle. It’s all about POV, baby. And my-oh-my, does she not only have us believing in the potential of positivity, she leaves ya with a feeling of blissful inspiration.

Sharadha is a former (let’s not lie, a soon-to-be-re-emerging) producer, stylist, and obsessive sewist. She opens up about kicking off her producing dreams at the ripe age of 16, leaving TV, building clothes, her relationship with her modern audience, meditation, and taking responsibility rather than blaming other.

We also learn the ONE thing Justin’s not good at. And while this episode’s supposed to be all about Sharadha, we spend a LOT of time complimenting Justin — which he does 👏🏽 not 👏🏽 like 👏🏽.

Don’t worry, we also reveal the most exciting thing in life: getting back to yourself.

Oh, and why you should watch Bollywood films specifically for teeth.

Well firstly: Welcome to Season Two!  

We've got lots of exciting news to share this season, with a lineup of awesome guests and interesting people. BUT BEFORE WE DO THAT; Let's spend a bit of time getting to know Tanya 2.0 (AKA Justin!). 

From theatre, to interior design, and beyond, Justin sits down and shares a little bit of his experience including how he and Cales met! It's a doozy.  We also talk about SIM Card boys, traveling the globe, and much much more.  While it's bitter sweet to say goodbye to Tanya, it's time to say hello to Justin.

Woah! The tables have turned and WE get interviewed! Tanya and Cales head over to Carley, Lauren & Asal's studio to spill the dishies on the fishies they've been dating... and on times with empty ponds. It's also WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY! So, the girls from the Somebody Date Us podcast ask us a bunch of personal questions that have answers we never would have shared with you otherwise! So, head on over their way and check out some of their other chats once you're done letting us embarrass ourselves.  Oh, and we even managed to reel in a couple o' cool things this ep! COOL THINGS: Carley's:Undersea cables AKA THE DARK NET https://bit.ly/2rMz6i8 Tanya's:Naps. What else? Cales':Be a dumb kid.

THIS EP ACTUALLY AIRED ON OCTOBER 18th! We had technical difficulties. Please forgive us. 

When Cales & Tanya took their yoga teacher training courses at The Yoga Sanctuary downtown Toronto, Shehla Khan taught them the history and philosophy of yoga’s lineage and traditions. While their world views and behavioural practices have shifted and expanded, they’ve also learned that those months of lectures, books and studies were just the tip of the iceberg. In this episode, we get a little deeper, testing the waters of our existence through conversations on the unconscious, tantra, chaos and order, heart rate variability, how our throats are connected to space, and why you shouldn’t read articles about yoga. Again, we’re left off feeling like we’ve just scratched the surface. So, sorry if you’re left wanting more but, hey, that just makes you human. One Cool Things: Shehla’s Yoga Nidra https://www.yogawithshehla.com/ Cales’ Great news! Shehla’s next Yoga Nidra Workshop is ON! It’s happening March 20-21, 2020. It’s a 6 hour workshop for $225 (get your early bird special on before March 1st). Go to https://www.yogawithshehla.com/ for details. If you can’t make this one, don’t fret — send us a DM on instagram @WTN_OK or email us at [email protected] and we’ll put together another one when there’s another wave of interest! Tanya’s (No)thing
