Wheat Fields, Wisdom & Whiskey

Laugh Lines & Lifelines is a heartfelt and genuine conversation where five lifelong friends gather around the mic to share the belly laughs, the real talk, and the wisdom that only decades of friendship can bring.

From celebrating each other’s wins to walking through life’s hardest seasons,  together we dive into the truth, trust, love, and authenticity that keep friendships strong. We believe that true friends become family—and that the gift of having “your people” is one of the greatest lifelines you’ll ever have.

Our hope? To inspire women everywhere—and our daughters, and their daughters—to believe in the power of lasting friendship. Because the best kind of beauty isn’t found in perfection, but in laughter, honesty, acceptance, and the courage to pick up right where you left off.

Pull up a chair, pour your favorite drink, and join us as we celebrate love, family, and the joy of lifelong friends.

In this episode you will come away with lots of laughter, lots of truth and a heart full of gratitude and the following key take aways.

• Why true friendship goes beyond time and distance.
• The secret ingredients that make friendships last: honesty, laughter, trust, and love.
• How to celebrate each other’s wins without comparison or judgment.
• Why belly laughs with your best friends are medicine for the soul.
• The beauty of friendships that feel like family.
• What we hope to pass on to our daughters, their daughters and future generations about building lasting, authentic bonds.

What if your worth had nothing to do with what you achieve, what you earn, or who you please — and everything to do with the fact that you simply exist?

In this powerful conversation, I’m joined by Linda Brand — certified life coach, EFT practitioner, licensed Realtor, founder of Worthy and Abundant, and host of the top 2.5% global podcast by the same name. Linda’s story is one of remarkable reinvention: overcoming a debilitating illness, raising her son as a single mother, selling her home, changing careers, and moving across the country — all in midlife.

She now guides women to break free from self-doubt, embrace new identities, and create empowered, abundant lives. In this episode, she shares the truth about worthiness, identity shifts, and how to consciously create the life you truly desire — no matter where you begin.

*What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why your worth is not something you earn — and the belief that changes everything.
• How to start over in midlife with courage and clarity.
• The surprising connection between self-worth and abundance.
• Practical steps to release old identities that no longer serve you.
• How to trust your intuition again after years of ignoring it.

In this episode of Wheat Fields, Wisdom & Whiskey, I sit down with certified holistic nutritionist and digital course mentor Leigh McSwan to explore what it really means to build a life and business rooted in freedom, alignment, and integrity.

We talk about the bold pivots, the quiet nudges, and the brave decisions that led her to leave a successful wellness brand behind — and how she now helps other health practitioners scale their wisdom into impactful digital courses through her signature DCC program.

This is an episode about walking away from what no longer fits, trusting your evolution, and creating space for something more supportive, soul-led, and sustainable.  Key Take Aways  From the Episode:

• Freedom & Alignment Over Success: True business success is about creating a life that feels free and aligned with your values — not just chasing external markers.
• Trusting the Growth Process: Growth often requires letting go of what no longer fits, even if it’s been successful or comfortable.
• Bold Pivots Can Lead to Soul-Led Business: Making brave decisions to pivot opens up space for a more sustainable and meaningful path.
• The Power of The Quiet Nudges: Sometimes subtle inner calls guide us toward change, and paying attention to those can transform your journey.
• Scaling Wisdom Through Digital Courses: Sharing your knowledge in an impactful way allows you to reach more people without burning out.
• Integrity as a Business Foundation: Building with integrity attracts the right clients and supports long-term fulfillment.

Dr. Rose Backman is one of Canada’s most magnetic speakers on emotional and physical healing. With a voice that’s as bold as it is compassionate, she’s spent over 30 years helping women reclaim their power, their voice, and their worth.

Her own story is one of radical resilience — rising from the loss of her husband, her business, and her home to become an unstoppable speaker, teacher, and businesswoman. Today, she leads The Power of an Unstoppable Woman movement, a transformational conference empowering women across Canada and beyond.

Using a specialized form of kinesiology, Dr. Rose helps women uncover the beliefs holding them back and teaches them how to set boundaries, speak their truth, and become more of who they really are.

She’s not just inspiring — she’s activating. And on October 26, she returns to Regina, Saskatchewan to continue the work of helping women rise.

Nestled within the weathered stone walls of a historic 1902 church in Estevan lies a story of reinvention, resilience, and radical courage. In this heartfelt episode, Karey sits down with visionary entrepreneur Laurie Wall, the force behind The Old Stone Inn and The Church, two soulful spaces that blend history, hospitality, and community in the most beautiful way.

Laurie’s journey takes us from her upbringing on a farm near Alameda—where her musician mother rocked go-go boots and hot pants—to big-city life in Regina and Vancouver, and eventually to global travels across Europe and Asia. Burnt out from running a thriving catering company, Laurie set out to rediscover who she was without constant productivity.

What she didn’t expect? A nudge from her father that would lead her straight back to her roots… and into a 1902 stone church that needed someone brave enough to breathe life into it again.

In This Episode, We Explore:

• Laurie’s upbringing in a vibrant, unconventional farm family
• The burnout that pushed her to sell her business and pause her identity as a high-achiever
• The emotional and spiritual journey of traveling the world in search of clarity
• The moment her father said, “There’s an old stone church in Estevan — I think you could do something with it.”
• What it took to transform a century-old church into The Old Stone Inn & The Church event space
• How Laurie blended history, community, architecture, and heart to create something truly special
• What it means to “feed dreams” and live as a celebrationist
• The power of coming home to yourself — even when life takes you the long way

Why You’ll Love This Conversation

This episode feels like stepping into warm light after a long winter. Laurie’s honesty, humour, and grounded wisdom remind us that life isn’t linear, reinvention can happen at any age, and sometimes the places we once overlooked become the spaces where we heal, create, and finally breathe again.

If you’re craving inspiration, permission to reinvent yourself, or a story that feels like a hug, this one is for you.
