What if ease isn’t something you earn — but something you allow? In this episode of Women on the Brink, I explore an idea that’s been quietly reshaping how I move through the world: that we’re not navigating life alone. Inspired by The Light Between Us by Laura Lynne Jackson and a surprising, science-grounded podcast called The Telepathy Tapes, I reflect on the idea of layered support — the universe, a team of light, and our ancestors — not as something dramatic or mystical, but as subtle, relational guidance woven into everyday life. This episode isn’t about belief or being “psychic”; it’s an invitation to consider what might shift if you assumed you were supported, if listening to your body and timing mattered as much as effort — and if the other side has been quietly reaching for you all along.

In this tender, grounding episode of Women on the Brink, I talk about what it really means for women to be “rising” in a world that feels heavy with war, politics, and fear. While the headlines are loud, something quieter and more powerful is happening in kitchens, gardens, beading circles, yoga studios, and small acts of care between women. I reflect on Indigenous and Métis women, women of the global majority, and women everywhere who are holding communities together through love, presence, and nervous-system regulation. This episode is an invitation to rest, to notice the women who have shaped your life, and to remember that even the smallest acts of kindness send ripples of healing into the world.

 Winter is kidney season in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and if you’ve been exhausted, anxious, freezing, losing hair, or wondering why coffee isn’t cutting it anymore — this episode is for you. In Season 3, Episode 2 of Women on the Brink, I’m talking about kidney jing (the energy you’re born with), why mine was basically running on fumes, and how winter quietly drains women through hormones, fertility, fear, and burnout. We’re covering kidney vacuity, hair loss, low libido, infertility, bone health, why rest is non-negotiable, and what to actually eat and do this season to protect your life battery. Less hustle, more warmth, fewer iced lattes. Your kidneys will thank you.

Season 3 is here and Happy 2026!
January usually comes with pressure to reinvent ourselves — but this episode isn’t about vision boards, manifestation rituals, or pretending we wake up at 5 a.m. happy. It’s about the vibe we’re upholding for 2026. Mine? Self-worth. No footnotes. I’m breaking down the five things every woman needs to know this year if you’re done people-pleasing, over-helping, perfecting yourself into exhaustion, and calling it “being good.” Less proving. More choosing. Welcome to Women on the Brink — 2026, but with boundaries.

This Christmas, I was haunted by three women… and none of them let me off the hook.
One showed up with Valium and zero patience.
One had a glass of wine and an anxiety problem.
And one hasn’t even been born yet — but already knows exactly where I went wrong.

 Trusting the universe isn’t all “love and light”—sometimes it looks like dashboard warning lights, bad timing, and muttering are you kidding me? In this episode, I talk about real trust, redirections, and what happens when you stop forcing the ride and start reading the signs.

 Chris wraps up a nine-year cycle that felt like a spiritual washing machine—complete with fires, premonitions, nervous-system meltdowns, and more plot twists than a Netflix drama. But the good news? The next cycle is finally about selection, not survival. This episode offers a witty, uplifting breakdown of what we’ve cleared, what we’re stepping into, and why the coming years promise better boundaries, better energy, and far fewer cosmic curveballs.

I spent years drawn to emotionally unavailable men probably because chaos felt familiar and I hadn’t done my own inner work. Then midlife hit—menopause, spiritual openings, and reconnecting to my Indigenous identity—and my body, intuition, and spirit all refused to settle for anything less than alignment.

The question I asked myself that changed everything? Find out in this episode.

This week I share my experience going to Indigenous Fashion week with my daughter, Nicole - not once but twice.   I loved the diverse representation, loved the unique styles and above all, I made me so happy to see my daughter witnessing Indigenous people standing in their pride and power.
