Send a text In this episode, I share many tools I have learned along the way, in different seasons of life, through counselling. I hope you will find them as useful strategies for you to use at home to aide in your mind management. I can't say this enough but "growth is a dance, not a light switch." Its too easy to perceive our mistakes as complete failures, and that just doesn't serve you in any productive way but also it doesn't give the whole picture. How you perceive the world around you,...

Send a text In this episode, I share a fraction of my story. With the Christmas season gearing up, it's easy to forget people who may not feel all the joyful vibes.

Christmas in particular can elevate whatever you have going on inside of you, and sometimes that is the opposite of peace. I hope th...

Send a text In this episode, you get to lean in and hear the heart of my good friend Darcey. She has dedicated her life to the humans that surround her, but how she lives a life in service is not romantic or convenient.

I hope you feel awakened as you listen to Darcey share how she has found "joy in the unseen"...

This episode is based on provoking thoughts I have been challenged about when it comes to "congruency & authenticity". Putting the time and work into assessing your mind, desires, and heart. Allowing healing to take shape and authenticity to unfold as a result. Learning to face-off with yourself and get to the root of your reactions, rath...

Send a text In this episode, Amy is joining us with her story of infertility. Spoiler alert, it's also an adoption story. Amy was able to go into great detail on her and her husbands confronting infertility, their grieving and accepting of that, and how it lead to adoption. Lots and lots of waiting left them in the suspended, the place none of us want to linger, but usually where all the beauty happens. I hope you feel more informed about infertility, the adoption process and empowered as you...

Send a text Episode 6 is taking time to steer off course a bit as we pay tribute to what Remembrance Day is really about. Taking time out of our schedules to pause, and reflect. To examine history, and pay our respects to the ones who have fallen and the ones left behind. Everything comes at a cost, and as Canada takes time to remember the sacrifice of others, may we never forget the people who gave their lives for this place we call home.
