Mia St. Aubin wants you to visualize your ideal life, to really see it… She's made it her mission to inspire others that it's not only possible, but it's actually within reach. One tiny little thing to note: it's going to take hard work. You're going to have to fight for it. But the power to accomplish your goals is as simple as deciding that you call the shots.

Founder of Canada's largest free fitness movement, Mia has chosen to dedicate her life to inspiring our nation to get moving — but don't get it twisted, she's not the drill sergeant who makes you feel bad about yourself… Instead, Mia leads with love and acceptance in her teachings about discovering a healthy lifestyle that heals from the inside out.

Mia and I met for 1 day over 7 years ago, during a time that was pivotal for us both, and today on Episode 13 our paths circle back and we find ourselves thanking the Universe for this perfectly timed reunion.

Call it basic, but I'm doing what everyone else in January of 2019 is doing: watching that new show on Netflix called "Tidying Up." Before I knew it I was going through every drawer / cupboard / closet, tackling the clutter and feeling oh-so-good in the process.

That natural high of productivity made it easy to tackle the next 10 things on my to do list, which had me wondering: "are all actions contagious?"

Stick around after this episode (12:13) for an announcement about something you can expect to hear more of in 2019, featuring an appearance by someone very special!

When you accept that every moment in life is a teachable one, that every disappointment and every curveball is an opportunity for you to move and grow and change — Scott Hurren would say that's the day you become free. An understanding of divine intervention will always be just slightly out of grasp, but it's a journey that leads to fulfillment.

In this first introduction to my older, wiser, and more eccentric brother, Scott and I look back on our most pivotal moments and the unusual patterns that appear as signs of some greater plan.

Although our businesses couldn't be more different, it's a similar type of strength, dedication, and creativity that flows through our veins and encourages us to think outside the box.

This mini episode is a love note to your soul if you ever feel frustrated that you're not growing fast enough. You're not alone.

It's the part of your brain that tells you you'll never catch up, that other people have momentum and you're just plugging away at a snail's pace. But that part of you is also what makes you HUSTLE, what keeps you pushing forward. That part of your brain needs to be fed and it's craving jealousy and comparison, making you question whether you've made any progress at all.

You have the power to instead feed it with constant reminders that you're in the right place, right now. That you're doing enough. That every step is one step closer to your goal. And the best part of all, this whole illusion of being "behind," is just that: an illusion.

I refer to this as the worst introduction I've ever received. It was comprised of a not-so-humble brag fest with a side order of passive aggressive jabs, and it came from a total stranger and in under 3 minutes. Like a slow motion bullet it just kept coming and coming until I found myself bleeding out and wondering how I even got here in the first place.

I call her Karen, but I don't really know her name. It didn't come up as she tried to sell me on her lifestyle and success while kicking me in the gut with a polite smile and chipper attitude. There's a lesson in here, folks, and it's not *just* how to avoid being an asshole in the first 3 minutes of meeting someone. It's about getting in touch with the inner self, the part of you that deems you worthy enough to not constantly seek praise and approval from others.

It's essentially a continuation on "Episode 07 - We're All Just a Bunch of Socially Paranoid Freaks," and if you're Karen, you might not like it.

If being "real" is a 2018 buzzword, Chantsy is the real deal. None of this "perfectly real" bullshit, this girl cuts right to the heart of what it means to be authentic, sharing her vulnerabilities, her imperfections, and her struggles with shopping in a skinny girl's world. Maybe you know her, maybe you don't, but after this episode you'll be one step closer to being able to answer the question, "how does she fit it all in?!"

It was such a pleasure to share coffee with Chantal Sarkisian, AKA Chantsy, curvy fashion blogger and social media influencer in Ottawa, Canada. Together we hash out everything from how to manage the business side of being an influencer, how to avoid the inevitable comparison that comes from living in a social media world, and how to find confidence in all the beautiful things that each of us unique. Chantsy claims she's not the most creative person in the biz, but she makes up for it with constant determination and the consistency of showing up and loving the journey.

This ep is both a kick in the business pants and a warm hug for your heart, if you can believe it. I can't wait to see how this chat lights you up from the inside out. Enjoy!! xo

Good news, you're not a weirdo. Turns out we're all just a bunch of socially paranoid freaks and it's in our biological makeup. In light of this news, you may as well decide to have the most fun in any given situation, not worrying about those pesky things called judgement or embarrassment.

This episode pulls inspiration from this article: https://lifehacker.com/taming-the-mammoth-why-you-should-stop-caring-what-oth-1628033209, as a way to remind you that no one really cares what you do, which is probably the best kept secret of the socially-awkward brain.

A one-way flight across the world, a complete culture shock, and a fork in the road… Kristen dances her way through life weaving together a story of love, romance, and enlightenment. And once her vacation is over, she finds a way to add that magic into her regular life.

As with any self-improvement strategies, it's a work in progress. But this dreamer manages to turn up the volume on positivity, turn a bad day into a good one, and find beauty in knowing that sometimes the scariest decisions are the most pivotal to the journey of self-discovery.

Taking time to share coffee with Kristen Hooper is one of my very favourite things to do, and always results in that tingly, happy feeling of being somewhere between inspired and utterly content.

I'm excited to bring a little bit of her light and positivity into the podcast — you're in for a treat.

I get it - you're a go-getter! A hustler! It's in your blood to search out that win whether it's big or small. You decided you wanted something and you took the steps to actually achieve it. But what happens after that "W" is yours? Do you take time to soak it in, pat yourself on the back for your hard work and truly bask in the moment? Or do you glaze over it, onto bigger and better things…

This one's for you if you could be a little kinder to yourself on the journey, spending less time on "what's next?" and more delighting in that state of being proud.

This mini episode is meant to be a pep talk for the soul, from my heart to yours. Take it with you wherever you go — I hope it inspires something beautiful within.

When a mistake is made, it's how you handle it that defines you. And when it might seem comfortable to wear your reasons or excuses like armour, in fact what will make your business stronger is to do the exact opposite: to take the hit and accept that something in the system broke down and that it was your fault.

In this episode I'm sharing a real and recent experience from a client who was hurt when her wedding was not featured on the blog. My excuse? The blog is a marketing tool that I use strategically to grow my business in a meaningful way. The only problem with that, is that to her I'm not a marketing machine, I'm a person. And the inability to anticipate her emotional attachment to my actions resulted in her feeling insecure and judged.

My hope in being so candid with this episode, is that it will shed light on a possible blindspot in your business, and possibly prevent a similar situation from ever happening.
