You may hear a familiar voice on this one, as Jess flips the script & puts Sarah in the 'guest' seat to answer all of your communication questions. We discuss some elements of interpersonal relationships, share some public speaking tips, highlight the importance of active listening, decide that Jess may be a 'defensive listener', and share why Sarah strongly believes that 'direct is kind'. One thing we know for sure, it really is amazing that we ever communicate effectively!! This episode of The Morning Meeting has been sponsored by: Sampson McPhee Lawyers.

S&J are back on the mic for an honest catch up to kick off the New Year! We are discussing how August turned to December in the blink of an eye, the chaos of life and how we've been doing with various transitions, our take on new year's resolutions and much more! Keep your heads up - we never know when that pendulum is swinging back around! PLUS we share some first deets on upcoming dates we think you'll want to mark on your calendars ;)

S & J SESSIONS.Isn't Summer just starting?! Where.does.the.time.go?! We are back behind the mics for a quick catch up now that September is over and we can breath again (sorta).  We chat about the start of the 'new year', changes and transitions and how life feels lately with a new level of busy. But, 'put the kettle on' because what we couldn't wait to share with you is how frickin' great of a show 'Maggie the Musical' is, now playing at the Savoy Theatre. Like a warm cup of tea & a granny's hug. Maggie will make you laugh & cry and remind you of someone you love. Co-created by award-winning artist, Johnny Reid, 'Maggie' celebrates the life of Johnny's own 'gran'. Matt Murray, Bob Foster, Mary Francis Moore, and Michael Rubinoff are just a few of the other names that round out 'Maggie's creative team. We think it's bound for Broadway - but there is something so special about seeing this one at the iconic Savoy Theatre. Take your own granny on a date, bring a pal, go alone - whatever you have to do - just get a ticket and don't miss out on this beautiful show. We laughed, we cried, we missed our own grandmothers & we went home and hugged our sons. Maggie is playing here in Cape Breton until Sunday October 8th, 2023. We are incredibly lucky to have this show playing in our own backyard - the talent, the story, the music; it's a beautiful show from start to finish.  Purchase tickets here: https://tickets.savoytheatre.com/TheatreManager/3/tmEvent/tmEvent2109.html Learn more about 'Maggie' here: https://maggiethemusical.com/  This episode of The Morning Meeting has been sponsored by:Sampson McPhee Lawyers.Looking to do some estate planning?

What issues can be related back to the pelvic floor? Is pain after pregnancy just part of the deal? Is leakage normal? Should we be using lube? Could our orgasms be better? Did you know sex is considered an act of daily living?! There is SO much to discuss - and Jess and Sarah put it all on the table - sharing their own experiences and asking all. the. questions.  Alana and Melissa are physiotherapists, moms, friends, women's health advocates, muscular system masters, and pelvic floor specialists. They specialize in therapeutic treatment of all conditions affecting the pelvis and pelvic floor. Pelvic conditions they treat are: Pregnancy & postpartum, Urinary leakage and urgency, Bowel leakage, Pelvic organ prolapse, Pelvic pain (pubic bone, groin, hip, low back, SI joint, tail bone), Pain with intercourse (dyspareunia), Diastasis recti (separation of the abs). This is one area of women's health that can no longer be ignored.
