I'm back...
Let's get into a bit about my story...While this episode is just a small preface to the goings on of my childhood, I chose to read this letter specifically, to lay some ground work before the real fireworks.I was a child of the foster system, since I was born. Unfortunately my foster family only fostered young babies and I was adopted at around the age of a year and a half.And while that may be great news to some, it ultimately caused quite a lot of harm to my sister and I growing up with that "family."Just because someone seems like a decent member of society doesn't mean they are...the monsters unmask themselves without prying eyes.Lies are usually louder than the whispers of the truth, but I will be the voice for those who don't have one...Going no contact with your abusers is most definitely acceptable especially when there are those out there who side with your abusers and make friends with them.And if you were a child and your caregivers/someone close to you ever abused you, you didn't deserve that. They were the adult and you were unfortunately the target of their backlash and emotional/physical reactivity.It's time we smoke them out...It starts by telling our truth.

Episode 47: We're Back w/ Taurean Pt. 1
The hiatus is over - I'm moving forward in a direction that will allow my guests to speak their truths about their personal stories. THEIR JOURNEYS. How they got to be the people they are today. On today's episode I have brought back one of my OG guests, Taurean Wellman, with Wellman Wellness Training. We talk about his early childhood and some of the traumas, learning lessons, and moments that molded him into the person he is today. We touch on topics such as: -overreach of power with mentors who should be creating safe spaces for childhood learning -people pleasing and trying to fit in...and the costs of that behaviour -moving through difficult scenarios There certainly isn't enough time to speak to Taur's life story in one episode so check back for Pt. 2! You can connect with Taurean on his social media: Instagram Facebook www.synergikfit.com

Episode 45: Hold the Line
Let's talk about the use of the 'never before used' Emergency Act - in place of the Emergency War Act... We're no longer a democracy in Canada. How sad to say. I urge you to watch as Brian Peckford speaks on the use of it and how the Constitution surpasses such things...as he is the last living member who signed the constitution. As he states: It's like "killing a fly with a sledgehammer." What are you doing to ensure that our future generations will have a surviving chance with their freedoms intact. The freedoms our past generations fought so hard for? Civil disobedience is the only way. Watch the video here! In support of your success, Waterfall Dancer www.synergikfit.com IG: @synergikfit

Episode 44: Keep Going - We're Not Done Yet
Yes, we're making leeway on our stance of FREEDOM in Canada. Wild to even have to write that out or say...fighting for our freedom in Canada. Just because we've had a small win DOES NOT mean this fight is over. We must keep the pressure on. These leaders must be held accountable for their hate speech and segregation. They need to know we won't just lay down because they've given us a little wiggle room!

Episode 41: It's Not All Love & Light
Here we go! Bear with me as my RANDOM thoughts come together. As a spiritual person, I'll be quick to say it's not all love & light - especially while trying to navigate my emotions while recovering from a concussion - I feel off and I'm trying to hold space for myself. Have to be in the darkness before you can bring anything to light in my opinion. Sometimes you just want to say: "f off with the love and light...I chose violence today." hahaha jk In support of your success, Coach Kerry | Waterfall Dancer www.synergikfit.com IG: @synergikfit

Episode 40: A Stable Mind (11 Hz Meditation)
It's already been a year of podcasting! Happy birthday to the podcast (and me later this week)! You can listen to this meditation as many times as you’d like. Journal as you implement this into your routine…notice the changes as you begin to set intent for your own grounding and stability; how you can carry that forward in your day-to-day life. Binaural beats in the alpha frequencies (8 to 13 Hz) are thought to encourage relaxation, promote positivity, and decrease anxiety. We're working with 11 Hz in today's episode!

Episode 39: Concussed
Here we go! Bear with me as my thoughts come together on my concussion and speaking about post-concussion syndrome (I can be a lil slow in my thought process). Have I ever gone to the doctor when I've struck my head? NOPE Have I gotten a baseline concussion test before? YES - results show I have been concussed  So let's talk about some of the things that go on when concussed or symptoms of post-concussion syndrome (which can be ongoing months to years after a head injury)!

Episode 38: Plans Aren't Going According to Plan
What do you do when things aren't going according to plan? I can say, from past experiences, that the expectations we place on how things should go played into a lot of my own unhappiness. Things not going to plan can be blessings in disguise if you just learn to flow with it. In support of your success, Coach Kerry | Waterfall Dancer www.synergikfit.com IG: @synergikfit
