Episode 41: Rise and Slay..
This week, I’m joined by Ogo, an inspiring powerhouse of a woman who’s balancing career, motherhood, and fitness - making it all look super easy. We talk about what it really takes to stay consistent, finding time for yourself when everyone needs you, and why some days, the win is just showing up. As someone who was inspired to participate in the Toronto City Marathon, just by watching her do it, I consider Ogo an influencer and took so much out of our conversation. I know you will too. This podcast is an attempt to make sense of some of the utterly ridiculous questions we ask ourselves and others daily.

Episode 40: Gone Too Far..
One shady comment, one act of revenge, and just like that her peach was gone. This episode dives into the explosive story of a Real Housewives of Atlanta cast member who let the heat of the moment cost her everything (for this season, at least). As I reflect on my experience with people who deliberately poke you, this is a reminder that not every clapback is worth it, and sometimes the real power move… is walking away.

Episode 36: Time Check!
Hey y'all...Welcome back to the podcast! After a year-long break, I decided to dive back into something I really love doing with an episode titled "Time Check!" In this episode, I explore the pivotal choices we face in our 30s—career shifts, relationship decisions, lifestyle changes, and so much more. This is an engaging episode that hopefully marks my return to podcasting and also sparks introspection about the paths we choose and the importance of enjoying every phase of our lives.

EP 35: No bandwidth..
The proof of life episode where I once again, explain my unexplained silence for the past couple of months. Well, it's just two words and an exclamation mark - no bandwidth!. On this one, I muse about some things that have been on my mind and all the fun little life changes have that have been happening. At the end of the day, 'everyone was once a baby' - remembering this helps us appreciate how hard people have had to work to get where they are, and how possibly, there's still a giant baby in everyone!

EP 34: Only Take What You Need
This new episode is about "unpopular opinions” that should remain as that - or should they? I invite you to listen as I explore some random thoughts on identity and also share some insightful learnings from the Indigenous peoples of Canada. I do agree that not everything I say on this episode would resonate with everyone, so only take what you need..see what I did there? ;) This podcast is an attempt to make sense of some of the utterly ridiculous questions we ask ourselves and others daily.

EP 32: Love Don't Cost A Thing
Heartbeats sound a lot like clock ticking if you lay down and just focus on the steady taps, and in a way it is. It counts down until you draw your final breath. On that jarring note, I welcome you to the last podcast episode of 2022. What a year!! Let's wrap it up talking about the cost of finding love. For some people, love shouldn't cost a thing, but for others.. paying $25,000 is just the starting point. On this fun episode, I explore some of your views on dating and remind us all why we must enjoy every second of the new year. It's literally a gift!
