• And that's a wrap . . . on season 3
    Jun 17 2024

    It is that time of year again when Laurel and Sam sit down to chat about some of the incredible conversations. They had this past season with guests that quickly became friends as the conversations unfolded.


    We recap talking about becoming an entrepreneur and wishing we had known about the work Shelagh does (@shelaghcummins). We know that when we are feeling sad or overwhelmed and need some support that we can always call on Kirsten (@tlclifecoaching). We acknowledge two wonderful individuals who brought us together with without even necessarily knowing that that's what they were doing, Jodie (@themotherlode) and Judie (@judienotjodie). There are so many reflections in this episode.


    Our third season found us taking more opportunities to slow down and record times when we have connected with one another about what's been going on in our lives, about the guests we've spoken to and breaking down some of the feelings that we've had about some of our episodes.


    So far, season three is up there in our top three seasons that we've been putting this show together.


    We wish you an amazing and sunny summer. Be good to one another. Treat yourself with kindness, love and respect.

  • Time to Release with Nelin Krull - RP & Certified Myofascial Release Specialist
    Jun 10 2024

    Did you know that seemingly innocuous traumatic physical events in our lives can manifest in our fascia, causing chronic pain many, many years after the original event? Once the body heals on the outside people believe that the trauma has healed and gone; never to be felt again.


    Today we have the opportunity to introduce you to Nelin Krull, RP and Myofascial Release Therapist. We learn more about long-term and ongoing healing patterns that can be set even decades after an injury occurs (that includes that time you fell off your bike when you were a child or were in a simple MVC as a teen).


    You can learn more about Nelin and the work that she does by visiting their website: https://www.myofascialmississauga.com, find them at one of their pop-up treatment events throughout the summer and watch their feed on Instagram @@myofascialmississauga If you do not live near her or any of the spots that they will be hosting their pop-ups then visit https://mfrtherapists.com to find a specialist near you.

  • becoming babyREADY - Introducing babyREADY's Queer Family Planning Event
    May 27 2024

  • Microdosing 101 - Introducing Kathleen Oh
    May 13 2024

    If you have watched the series “9 Perfect Strangers,” then you have been introduced to the concept of micro-dosing. While it wasn't legitimized in this series, the concept was at least introduced so that viewers had an initiation into the thought process.


    We are not here to tell you that should or should not try it. But today we have the chance to introduce you to Kathleen Oh, and she answers some our questions so that you have an idea what a psilocybin is.


    It’s important to also remember that mushrooms are really good for you. And current research is linking the use of them with more and more efficacy in certain cases, for certain people, with certain mental health concerns.

  • Journey to Parenthood - Introducing Kieran Powers
    May 6 2024

    When a decision is made to start a family the last thing in the world you think you will have to navigate is a loss. This is especially true after you have battled cancer and are facing your own mortality every day.

We delve into her history of family creation and talk openly about the darkness she battled as she became a mother. Her mission is to help families navigate their journeys through loss and surrogacy and trauma that honours the hard stuff while finding a path forward to parenthood.

  • Smashing Glass Ceilings (Part 2) with Shelagh Cummins
    Apr 29 2024

    In this second part of our conversation with Shelagh Cummins, we have the opportunity to spend a little bit of time talking about how it is OK for women to want to smash their glass ceilings!


    This week we talk actual numbers. We talk actual statistics. We talk about the amount of money and entrepreneur would need to make for their business in order to be able to take home the amount of revenue that they would like to see in their bank account. Suffice it to say that you want to be in the 12% she describes, instead of the 88%

    “Business is a blend of art and science.”


    “What are you pretending not to know that is stopping you from getting the results that you want?”


    These two mind blowing statements are at the root of the conversation that Laurel and I are able to have in part one of our conversation today with business owner and entrepreneur Shelagh Cummins. You do not want to miss learning what this powerful woman has to say when it comes to speaking about the ways women can level up their businesses.
