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.

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).

We get comfortable, in the world that we live in, accepting the belief that menopause is the beginning of the end for women. Today we have the opportunity to speak about the rejuvenating and invigorating properties of appropriate healthcare for preserving vitality in the menopausal community. 



We are excited to introduce you to Dr. Prudence Hall, OB/GYN  and we talk with her about the way she cares for her patients and enriches their lives every day.

Deciding to start a family for anyone can be frightening. Add to that being a member of the Queer community and you: increase fear about discrimination, add worry about sourcing gametes and understand that it is a process that takes time and money.



Today we have the opportunity to talk with BBB cohost Sam Leeson- about the first ever 2SLGBTQIA+ family planning event, “becoming babyREADY,” being hosted at The 519 at 519 Church St. in Toronto the morning of Saturday, June 8 from 9 AM until noon.



Learn from lawyers and fertility specialists, naturopath, and psychotherapist. This is the opportunity to get the answers to the questions you didn't even know you had. 



And this isn't in your wheelhouse, but you know someone in the queer community who would benefit from learning more, direct them to Sam's website: www.babyREADY.info or have them find her on social media @babyREADYlgbtq @The519 @PollinFertility @minigiantsinc

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.

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.



Today we have the opportunity to introduce you to Kieren Powers. Kieren is the owner of Becoln. She is a certified Grief & Trauma coach. 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.



This Sunday and always, we honour those who have chosen to become and savour the gift of being a mother, even to the children who are no longer earthside.
