HER - Honest Everyday Ramblings (The HER Podcast)

Today, we're really excited to have Shalen Fox with us, a proud member of Sweetgrass First Nation. Shalen's a public speaker with a powerful story, sharing his journey from battling addictions to finding sobriety.

He opens up about how early life relationships and traumas pushed him towards drinking at just 13 years old. As time went on, his struggles expanded beyond alcohol to regular cocaine use during university and into adulthood.

Things hit a breaking point when Shalen quickly spent $20,000 in just two weeks to feed his addictions. That was the wake-up call he needed. Today, Shalen joins us for a conversation about the tough but life-changing decision to ask for help, what he's doing to stay on the sobriety path, and the crucial role of finding your voice in the healing process.

Today we are sitting down with Darren Anderson, founder of the Love My Mind Initiative. Darren founded Love My Mind after losing his brother Mark to suicide amidst his battle with alcoholism, in order to provide a voice, support, education and resources to those who struggle with mental health. Darren vulnerably shares about the events of, and leading up to the day Mark passed, the immediate role he took on as the glue for his family and how it resulted in him forgetting to process and grieve himself. He shares about the heaviness he felt from the male stigma of having to hold everything together, how he felt like stone inside and the beautiful Sunday morning the grief suddenly poured out of him. 

Darren shares about his childhood growing up with an intimidating “old school” father, being raised not allowed to show a lot of emotions as a male, and the spiral his brother went into after their dad passed away. He tells us what he realized when he stopped looking at Mark’s alcohol addiction and started looking at the depression that had overcome him, we talk about the shame and guilt that comes with battling addictions, how people become good at hiding what is really going one inside, the red flags we see- and the ones we often miss. Darren shares how the idea of founding Love My Mind came to him, the journey of how it started as a grieving tool and has become a national brand, and the tools, resources and funding they are providing to people in order to eliminate the wait lists to get help. 

We talk about the power of community in pushing forward for mental health, the shocking statistics about youth’s mental health and suicide rates, the importance of continued conversations and how to TRULY listen, putting support systems in place and USING them, and WHY they put supports in place for the support people. The vision of Love My Mind is to facilitate more conversations, bring awareness, offer support, and connect with key people surrounding the stigmas of mental health so we may raise each other up and step out of the darkness together.

The ‘MotherLoad’ is about those demanding roles we find ourselves in, whether at home or in the workplace. It’s the endless juggling act and the constant feeling of not doing enough. In today’s conversation with Adrianne and Lisa we explore this collective exhaustion and share practical tips to decrease our stress levels.

We unpack the demands we place on ourselves, learn how to identify them, and, most importantly, create space for doing less instead of piling on more.

We talk with Brooke about restricted eating cycles, the effect trauma can have on your body, nutrition, and overall health, and how your mood and capacity affects your ability to nourish yourself.

We talk about WHY as a society we focus so much on childhood obesity as a fear, and WHAT we are missing as a result - and Brooke shares some shocking statistics with us about eating disorders and our young Canadian children.

It’s a solo episode today and we have Erika in the hot seat sharing all about her journey with ADHD. Erika takes us through how and when she realized she may have ADHD, what prompted her to take the steps to receive a proper diagnosis, the changes, the freedom AND grief she felt upon being diagnosed, the tools she has implemented for support and why she considers having ADHD a superpower. 

She shares with us the “telltale” signs of ADHD she had, what the steps to get tested looked like for her, the process of deciding to take medication and her experience in choosing the best medication, why she takes her meds for certain tasks and not others and the emotional release she felt the first time she felt the effects of her medication. We talk about how many women are getting diagnosed as adults, how young girls tend to naturally mask symptoms of ADHD, the struggles she had in school as a child and the negative stories she told herself as a result, and the process of now grieving as an adult for the child she was then. 

We talk about the impact her diagnosis has had on her and her relationships, Erika shares the tools she has introduced to support herself, how “knocking off thoughts/ getting through to dos ” helps her throughout her day and quiets her brain, the communication shifts she has implemented,  and her BEST tip for dealing with the tasks you don’t want to do. She shares about struggling with lack of motivation around “uninteresting” tasks, the power of leaning into your strengths, the importance of finding the right systems, taking ownership in your life and setting yourself up for success, and the differences between listening and hearing in communication.  

PLUS: The challenge of self assessment, removing the term “disability”, unlearning narratives and getting used to the QUIET in her head.

We talk about how an instagram post led Ashley to find her social niche focus on boundaries, the boundaries we are all setting everyday without realizing it, the boundary work she is currently doing herself and how she works though her people pleasing tendencies.

Today we are sitting down with content creator and mother of 3 Joselyne Effa and chatting ALL things content creation, why she left her full time career as an Operating Room Nurse to go all in on content creation, and how she navigates brand deals, collaborations and community in the social media world as a woman of colour. Joselyne brought the ENERGY to this conversation, we laughed so much with her and had so much fun in this conversation! 

Joselyne shares with us what behind the scenes in content creation REALLY looks like, what we DON’T know about working with BIG brands, HOW she lands big brand deals and why they keep coming back to her,  and which campaigns are NOT worth the work.  We talk about misconceptions about influencers and content creators in social media, the pressures to stay relevant and visible, why putting in a ton of work doesn’t guarantee you will make it in the industry and the differences between building community and making money.

She gets open and vulnerable about how the BLM movement impacted black creators and how ( FINALLY!) opportunities have changed for Black creators and people of colour, the importance of inclusivity in social media and how it felt to see so many white influencers get brand deals and collaborations that she didn’t - and the blanket excuses she was given that didn’t add up. Joslyene shares so many great TIPS for entering the content creator space, the power of slow growth and knowing your value, the importance of overdelivering and building relationships to grow, the grounding of finding your people and the mindset you need to have in order to succeed in the content creation space. 

PLUS:

How long it took for her husband to get on board with her content creating career - and how he eventually stepped in fully with her, the microagressions and assumptions that they experience as a bi racial couple, and the shocking thing said to her in the hospital elevator after giving birth.

Today we are sitting down with Julia Penner, and she openly and vulnerably shares her story of living in and leaving an abusive marriage, the shame and confusion of enduring marital rape, the battle she had with her religious beliefs and her marriage and what changed for her when she became a mother. Julia shares how she navigated multiple forms of abuse from her ex- husband, how he used love bombing and gaslighting in the beginning of their relationship, being forced to have sex and what marital rape looks like, the religious beliefs she held that made her believe she needed to be and stay with him - and the slow process of realizing she was allowed to take up space, and how she found her voice. We talk about misconceptions about WHY women stay in abusive relationships, and the layers of confusion, shame and fear that are involved. 

She shares how losing her dad suddenly became the turning point for her to fully realize she needed to leave her marriage, what it felt like when she stood her ground and called the police to report him, the terrible blessing that helped her pay for her divorce and legal battle that followed and the brokenness of the system that allows abusers to have open access to  children. Julia talks about how she navigated the stigma of divorce in the Christian community, how it felt when members of her own family did not support her, and how walking alongside one another in divorce brought her and her new husband together. 

We talk about how we were educated about sex as young women, the shame often tied to sex for women, Julia’s journey of feeling comfortable and safe sexually, the panic attacks and the triggers she still navigates as aa result of her abuse and how her now husband created a safe space for her to feel confident and loved. Julia shares about how sharing her story on instagram has helped her healing, created impact, connection and community and gives  advice for women navigating leaving an abusive relationship, and how to support a loved one in an abusive relationship.

PLUS: 

How Julia navigated finding pleasure in sex, the book that changed her life, the positive impact anxiety meds have had, and the importance of feeling supported and the power of coming home to yourself.

Today we are sitting down with media personality, mother, and public speaking coach Heather Morrison. Heather is also the founder of Deliver Your Best, an online public speaking program that helps people learn to overcome fears and challenges tied to public speaking - and communication in general! 

We chat with Heather about HOW she overcame her fear of public speaking, and used her methods and passion for community to start a business, she shares her personal preparation techniques, her internal process and tips for everyone to feel more confident in communicating in any situation. Heather shares about the internal growth she focused on in order to overcome her fears, how she leaned into developing on skills she already had in order to jump into sports reporting without any previous knowledge, the difference between having a lack of knowledge vs a lack of self knowledge and what that looks like, how to shift your nervous energy to support you and the power of saying YES to things that scare you.

We talk about having a growth mindset vs a fixed mindset, being willing to show up as a beginner, how to set yourself up with supportive thoughts and the practice of knowing your comfort threshold - and how to support yourself to push past it. Heather shares about thought habits, what they are and how they can either support or derail us, what the steps of a thought analysis are and how to use them to shift your mindset and perspective - and the importance of being away of our thoughts.

We are talking all about how Astrid met her now husband Kevin on Bachelor in Paradise, moving to Canada for love ( and the climate shock involved!), navigating trying for a baby during the pandemic, working though infertility and her IVF journey.

She walks us through their infertility journey, the process of trying to get pregnant and navigating the disappointment each month, being diagnosed with “unexplained infertility”  and how the journey impacted her and Kevin in different ways. Astrid shares about what the IVF process really looks like - the costs, hormones and medications involved, the impact it all had on her body and emotions and the time and stresses involved in IVF. She tells us what it was like going to all the appts on her own because of COVID, how they navigated playing the waiting game and how she dealt with the influx of emotions and hormones daily. We talk about the misconceptions about infertility and IVF, the hardest and most challenging parts for her, she shares great advice for navigating the IVF pregnancy journey, and we learn about the amazing work she is doing with the Fertility Friends Foundation to help alleviate the financial stress of fertility treatments for Canadian couples.

PLUS:  How she found out she was pregnant with her first child, why she had to carry containers of sperm to appointments in her bra, celebrating the little things, and the behind the scenes of Bachelor in Paradise.

Today we are sitting down with Physiotherapist and owner of STILL PHYSIO Kim Fraser. Kim passion for women’s health and sport performance is at the forefront of her practice, and she shares SO much information with us about WHY. Kim lays all the pelvic floor information out for us, including what exactly our pelvic floor is and does, what a pelvic floor exam looks like, why the pelvic floor plays a HUGE role in women’s health and how it can affect the way our entire body feels and functions. 

We talk about the things we need to know as we age, the importance of focusing on preventative care vs reactive care, the WILD statistics about low back pain and pelvic floor impairment, and how many of us are actually peeing our pants on the regular. We cover the pressures of bouncing back after baby, and the damage that can happen when we push too hard too fast, what we need to know about our bodies after birth and how long it ACTUALLY takes for your body to heal (spoiler it’s longer than 6 weeks!), what a PROLAPSE actually is - and how Kim experienced hers in the middle of a spin class.  Kim tells us what most women don’t know about our pelvic floor, myths about the pelvic floor, the surprising importance of breath work for healing, and why she rarely gets clients to do kegels.  

We talk about the “more is more” culture of sport, and why she leans away from aggression and into stillness and emotion for greater impact, the importance of treating the person as a whole - not just the area of irritation and the notion of “where there is stillness there is progress”. Kim speaks to creating an environment of ease, the ripple effect of proper and intentional training, moving with ease instead of against the grain, what her 3 pillars are and why our ego prevents progression. 

PLUS: 

The myths about how to be a good runner and what you need to know to get started + be successful ,the benefits for female athletes to work with their cycle and hormone health for support, why appropriate alignment and posture makes a huge difference -  and what happens to our vaginas as we age.

It’s a SOLO episode today friends, and Megan is getting open and honest about her relationship with alcohol. She shares about how she was exposed to alcohol as a small child, the trauma that was inflicted upon her during childhood as a result of her parents alcoholism and growing up with dishonesty, evasiveness and shame around alcohol. She shares about having her first drink at age 12, how drinking evolved amongst the pressures to fit in as she got older, the confidence and freedom she felt when drinking, and the life event that propelled her down a path of consistently using alcohol as a coping tool. 

Megan openly shares about the slow progress of drinking alone, how she actively justified her alcohol use, when she realized she was never able to stop at one glass and the cycle of having an open bottle of wine. She talks about the progression of how drinking became a habit, distraction and tool to numb her stress and anxiety - and how COVID amped it up and offered up a culture to cope. She tells us what caused her to stop drinking cold turkey, how uncomfortable it gets when you take away the thing you have been using to cope with stress and anxiety, the TOOLS used and supports she put in place to succeed and break her drinking habit, and what her relationship with alcohol looks like now. 

She speaks to learning very early on how to navigate and anticipate others behaviour because of alcohol, how she is actively healing the root cause of her anxiety, stopping the generational cycle, the importance of giving yourself grace, and the harmful culture our society has built around alcohol. We talk about the damage of “mommy wine culture”, how ingrained alcohol is in our society, the power of having a visual to support your goal, the importance of finding the resources that resonate with you, and navigating a sober curious path with support.

Milton gives us tools for navigating team dynamics, conflict and problem solving in the workplace, how to deal with the jerks on your team ( hint, it starts with holding up a mirror ), leaning into our individual strengths to build a solid team, why “KNOW THYSELF” is his number one tip for conflict resolution, and the power of self awareness. We talk about the things that motivate behaviour, the power of OBSERVING, the question he starts conversations with to allow for curiosity and choice, what a “PLUS 10” is - and how you can utilize it in your workplace and relationships.

Milton shares his best parenting advice, the two questions we are hardwired to come to a problem with, tips on how to talk with our children in the ways they understand, and the importance of finding out our children’s path of learning. We talk about how to deal with bullies in the language that they speak, the different types of bullying, and the importance of teaching our children to be assertive without being aggressive.

It’s a solo episode today friends! We put Erika in the hot seat and are chatting about WHY she isn’t your average farm wife and what that means to her, how she found her voice and identity as a wife, mother and entrepreneur and how she navigates the old school culture of the farming community. Erika shares why she actively resisted the “farm wife life” at the beginning of her marriage, the dynamics of marrying into a farm family and feeling like the farming lifestyle and passion for it was being pushed onto her and the generational impact that farming has on women. We talk about the damage of putting expectations on people without communicating, the resentment and anger that built up for her because of the expectations put on her and navigating the challenge of the farm always coming first. 

She shares about struggling to fit a mold she didn’t want to be in, how her dreams changed when she became a mother, how she quickly lost her identity and had to hit pause at the “starting line of life”,  and the impactful advice she was given by a fellow farm wife that helped her to shift her perspective. Erika shares the struggle she has with being told who she should be, WHILE trying to figure out who she was, how once she figured out her role and had ownership in her life, she developed a new appreciation for farming and the impact this all had on her marriage. We talk about the importance of asking for help, delegating, communicating clearly and planning for your capacity, the freedom in choosing to accept certain things vs fighting them, HOW she found her identity again and the role becoming an entrepreneur played in it. 

PLUS: the backstory of the original HER podcast, how and why we place labels on ourselves and the impact it has, learning to let go and set boundaries and the changes she would like to see in the farming community.

In today's episode, we sit down with Jasmyn Albert, an inspiring Plains Cree, Métis settler, and dedicated educator passionate about preserving Indigenous traditions. She opens up about her journey, from facing adversity at a young age, shouldering responsibility for her siblings due to family struggles, to enduring the harsh reality of being bullied for her Indigenous heritage. Jasmyn bravely shares her path to overcoming shame, advocating for Indigenous representation, and embracing her rich Cree culture.

We delve into her advocacy work and the significant role Indigenous parents played in founding the Native Survival School, now known as Oskāyak High School, as a response to the struggles Indigenous children faced. Through heart-wrenching accounts, we confront the harsh impact of intergenerational trauma and the legacy of residential schools that disconnected Indigenous communities from their culture.

Jasmyn's story is a powerful testament to resilience and strength. She sheds light on the importance of reclaiming traditions like kinship systems, ceremonies, and gathering medicinal plants as a means to heal and reconnect with heritage. She passionately advocates for learning the history of the land we live on, fostering understanding, and addressing misconceptions about Indigenous cultures.

It’s a SOLO episode friends, and we are going all over the place today! We talk about the idea of “fake it till you make it”, what it used to mean for us and what it means to us NOW, using a fake it till you make it mentality as a mechanism to pump yourself up and channel the energy you want to feel, and not wanting to push through and put on a face anymore. We cover the layers of AUTHENTICITY, the pressures social media and imposter syndrome, the correlation of showing up authentically and confidence, how everyone’s “authentic” looks different ( and it should!!), and why we feel authenticity is a bit of a buzzword right now.  We open up about what “listening to your gut” feels like for us, why you need to build trust with yourself to tap into your intuition and how our experiences shape our responses. 

We are flipping the script on SELF CARE, how social media is turning self care into a comparison game, why we view self care as an “extra” instead of the little necessary things, why our self care may not be yours. We chat the power of the phrases "I get to" and "I choose to", the martyrdom of motherhood, taking back the "little things" and why we are channelling big Grandma energy.  We cover the importance of investing in yourself, HOW we are currently investing in us, the FREE and low cost ways you can - and ARE investing in yourself daily and why setting boundaries is an important piece of doing so. 

PLUS: 

-Megan shares her personal struggle with distinguishing excitement and anxiety as a trauma response, and the journey of allowing herself to feel excitement without anticipating what will go wrong. 

-CJ opens up about battling perfectionism, how she’s actively working to let go and shed the things that hinder her, and the layers of perfectionism and the vulnerability that happens from self awareness.

-Erikas favourite self care methods and why she champions the simple things being the most important self care.

Today we are sitting down with multi passionate entrepreneur and founder of the Little Wonders Family Program Jen Draper. We talk about battling imposter syndrome, the impact her childhood trauma had on her mental health and anxiety, and how she turned not having a place to feel safe into a beautiful Non Profit program that connects families together in community and support. 

Jen shares vulnerably with us about being removed from her childhood home due to her mother’s addictions and lifestyle, her near death experience as a toddler, growing up very quickly at a young age, and the catalyst that led her to start therapy in her 20’s and dig deep into the buried memories she dissociated from as a young child. We talk about healing generational trauma, finding the right therapist, the tools she uses to manage her anxiety and mental health and how she is being who she needed when she was younger NOW. 

Jen shares with us her WHY behind creating the Little Wonders Family Program, the process and journey of building a Non Profit, the hurdles that came up and the community that she found along the way. We talk about the impact working with the Little Wonders Families has on her, how the Little Wonders moms inspired her to create the Heart's Desire Gala, and how she learned that the smallest things are truly the BIGGEST.

PLUS: 

Getting over the comparison game on social media and building boundaries within in, the magic of women coming together to support and build each other up, the healing the comes of creating the community and spaces you need and want and why singing in the car is her favourite form of therapy.

Today we are sitting down with grief, coach and mother of three Tanis Mitchell. We are talking with Tanis about how she navigated her daughter Lukah’s traumatic medical journey, how being a medical mama has impacted her and shifted her perspective on life, the empowerment of feeling through grief and refusing to be a victim of the pain, and how her journey has led her to walk alongside others through grief as a group coach. 

Tanis vulnerably walks us through Lukah’s journey, from taking her into emergency at 11 months old with a diaper full of blood, to finding out she had a massive benign teratoma in her abdomen, and the nine hour surgery to remove it that ended in the doctor telling her that her baby’s organs were failing. She shares the moment she fell to her knees upon hearing her daughter had 12 to 24 hours to live, and the miraculous turn that kept Lukah alive to wait for a five organ transplant. We hear about the impossible situation they found themselves in trying to keep her alive one day at a time for 7 1/2 weeks until they got the news that she had a transplant match, the impossible joy of receiving the gift of five organs knowing another family was living their worst nightmare, the gruelling process of living out of the hospital the entire time and being forced to sit in her grief. 

She tells us why she chose to share her journey on social media, how it helped her navigate and the healing it brought her to have an outlet, the beautiful and unexpected community that it built, and the way that community supported and held their family. We talk about what life has looked like after Lukah’s transplant and how they navigate daily, diving headfirst into learning how to navigate the grief that showed up everywhere, the book she found that was transformational in her grief journey, the tools + supports that have helped her along the way and the transition she made into coaching others in grief. 

PLUS: what she does as a grief coach, the power of letting yourself FEEL, trusting the process and letting life unfold, how to experience joy alongside grief and the power of being held by community.

Today we're chatting with morning news anchor and media personality Joelle Tomlinson about her journey into journalism, the identity struggle she had growing up biracial in Saskatchewan to adoptive white parents. What it's been like navigating the grief and trauma of losing her brother to an accidental drug overdose, and how she has unpacked her grief and grown because of it.

We dive into how her journalism career started as a scrappy teenager vying to get published (and how that led to her first on air job!), navigating the many NO's to find the one YES, and the career opportunities that have surprised her. She speaks vulnerably about the challenges and abuse she faces as a bi-racial woman in the media industry, how she protects her energy and handles it with grace, the line she treads with tokenism in her work and the importance of mentorship in the workplace.  

PLUS: Why running is therapy for her, how it has supported her healing, and the vulnerability it takes to run Ultra marathons. Why she ISN'T a long term goal setter and how it has opened her up to opportunity, the value of making mistakes and stepping outside her comfort zone, how she found and created community in a new city, and beauty of making new friends as an adult.

Today we are sitting down with founder of Devon + Lang, Tyler McCombs. We are talking with Tyler about leaving a secure career he loved at Apple and taking the leap into entrepreneurship, how COVID flipped his business on it’s head from the start, what the behind the scenes of creating a product in the apparel industry looks like, and why he is passionate about making “life changing underwear” - and what the life changing part really means.  Tyler shares about the importance of company culture and taking great care of your people, how he took the major things he learned from his 10 years with Apple and incorporated them into Devon + Lang, how infusing passion into your work makes you stand out, and how getting his BA in Behaviour sciences helps him in business.

Tyler launched Devon + Lang 6 months before the COVID pandemic, and he shares about how the power of pivoting to serve what the community needed grew his business to 6 figures in a few months, going from filling orders from his in-laws basement to filling a warehouse and expanding into a women’s line as an add on that has now taken over the business. He walks us through HOW he set himself up for success by pairing his passion with research, education and personal development, the 4 things you need to consider when you have a business idea, and why you need to take time to celebrate your wins. We talk about the cost of entry to get into certain industries, the difference between building a business VS creating a job, how not to get trapped in your business, and how he overcame the hurdle of learning to delegate and let go of full control.  

PLUS: 

The story behind the Devon + Lang name, why they look at apparel from a generational standpoint, the actual cost of “Made in Canada” and his biggest learnings in business so far.

Get ready to laugh a lot while learning a TON, these two are hilarious and deliver so much value all at once!  Conner and Dustin are sharing valuable insights with us about entrepreneurship, navigating business partnership, building community and the importance of having clear, strong values in business and life. 

We are talking about the impact of building community with a brand, using business as a tool to create an impact, making a difference with your dollar and how small businesses ( and their customers ) can have a BIG impact in the community. Conner and Dustin share the story of how Local Laundry was born in a tiny house in Sweden with a google search and $50, how they became business partners, why Conner called Dustin from the Vegas strip crying while eating cheeseburgers alone and how it resulted in the next growth step for their business. 

They share about how they are using clothing to bring people together, how they have harnessed the power of connection and collaboration to build a loyal and thriving community, the power of the long game, embracing slow growth and picking up the phone, and why asking for help is their biggest secret weapon. Conner and Dustin are telling us WHAT to look for in a business partner in order to thrive, the importance of valuing each others differences, and why business partners should go to therapy together.

Today we are talking with mental health advocate and entrepreneur Lesley Kelly (aka @highheelsandcanolafields) about the importance of mental health conversations and support in agriculture, why she co-founded the Do More Agriculture foundation to support farmers, how she is working to change farm culture and create a supportive community for future generations, and the change you can inspire when you are willing to share your story. 

We hear the shocking statistics around mental health, stress, anxiety and depression in farming communities, the heartbreakingly high suicide rates of farmers, what the many layers of “FARM STRESS” are, and the stigmas, challenges and barriers preventing people from getting the help and support they need. Lesley shares openly about mental health struggles within her family, why her husband initially hid his panic attacks from her - and how they found the tools to navigate together, and the AHA moment that led them to speak openly about their stresses and struggles in a video that went viral around the world - impacting hundreds of thousands of farming families. We talk about the power of leaning into service, the life saving impact of knowing we aren’t alone in our struggles and a remarkable piece of advice from her dad that had us ALL in tears. 

PLUS: 

The misconceptions and misinformation about farming and mental health, how Do More AG is moving the needle on mental health awareness, the positive changes she has seen in the past few years within the farming communities,  navigating working with your family and the weight of generational farming.

On today's episode, we delve into heavy but crucial topics like hallucinations, harm to self and others, brain pain, anxiety, attempted suicide, and hearing voices—please take care while listening!

Pam & Taryn Hutchings, a compelling mother-daughter duo, are passionate advocates for eradicating the stigma surrounding mental health. Taryn's journey with an FND (functional neurological disorder) diagnosis forms the heart of this deeply candid conversation.

Taryn courageously shares detailed accounts of her mental health episodes, hospital admissions, and the challenging experience of navigating an unknown diagnosis, including their journey to the Amen Clinic in California for comprehensive brain scans and a deeper understanding of her condition.

Their dedication extends to supporting teens encountering similar struggles. Pam, drawing from her background as a former crisis worker, leads in caring for Taryn and spearheading a supportive online community. Together, they drive Teens Talk YXE, dedicated to fostering understanding and support for teenage mental health.

In this episode, gain insights into effectively discussing mental health with your teens, the paramount importance of being present for them, fostering open dialogues, and understanding the immense impact of ensuring your teen feels heard and understood.

It’s a solo episode today and CJ and Megan are in the hot seat chatting about the shifts and changes they have both been making to support themselves in managing anxiety. They share the things they have been adding to - or removing from - their daily routines, what tools and supports they have found that are making a big difference and the impact the changes have on them physically and emotionally. 

We talk about breaking rituals that were no longer serving us (ahem - caffeine), creating new habits and finding new rituals to support us, when to take the path of least resistance and how to lean into simplicity to cut down on overwhelm. We cover the impact that stress and anxiety have on us physically, stress relieving tools to calm your nervous system and the importance of regulation. We look at how we can un-complicate things, look through a lens of ease and be more aware of our day to day capacity, being aware of how things feel in our bodies and the power of “name it to tame it”.

We talk about what a stress cycle is - how to close the loop and the impact it has on us, why we prioritize protein and sleep and the uncomfortable space of pushing through resistance to try new ways of doing. 

PLUS: the power of gratitude, meditation and proper nutrition, giving yourself grace in the day to day and the spiritual journey of switching to decaf.

We're sitting down with Victory Aspinall today and her story is a WILD one. In this gripping episode, Victory shares her extraordinary journey of being part of a Bible-based cult for over a decade and how a secret intervention eventually led to her escape. Victory's story is nothing short of astonishing, filled with personal trials, public shaming, verbal abuse, and the oppressive constraints imposed by the cult leader.

We delve deep into Victory's narrative as she recounts her initial involvement with the group, her firsthand experiences as a devoted follower, and the profound impact it had on her life. We also explore the pivotal moment when her family took matters into their own hands, seeking professional help to orchestrate a clandestine intervention, all in an effort to free her from the grips of the cult.

Victory Aspinall's story is a testament to resilience, courage, and the unyielding human spirit. Enjoy this one!

Today we are sitting down with mother of two, contnet creator, and former Miss Universe Canada Siera Bearchell. We are chatting with Siera about how life changed for her after competing in Miss Universe, how she navigated the media blitz that followed her, how the learnings and experience from her pageant journey impacted her choices, values and career path as an adult and what is is REALLY like behind the scenes of the Miss Universe curtain. 

Siera shared how and WHY she got into pageants, the cause near and dear to her that propelled her to take the stage, the misconceptions about the pageant world and why it is SO much more than swimsuit and evening gown competitions we see on TV. She tells us about the moment she was told she didn’t have “the Miss Universe Body”, how being forced to lose weight resulted in her losing her confidence and why she dumped her team before the competition and did things her own way. We really dig into the topic of confidence - why it is important to feel solid in who you are, how truly knowing yourself directly correlates with confidence, the growth that happens when you lean in to the uncomfortable and the power of being comfortable with not knowing the answer.

She talks about embracing the platform she was unintentionally given, how she leaned in to social media to continue conversations about body positivity, why she puts out content on socials that she wants to consume, the pressures to be “relatable” and how she deals with hate from social media trolls. Siera shares about parenting in the public eye, how she navigates sharing her family on socials, the importance of setting boundaries and how she leans into her personal bullshit meter. 

PLUS: 

The pressures put on women to stay youthful as we age, watching your life through your eyes and not through your phone, why working on yourself will always get you ahead, and why kindness always wins.
