    It’s not goodbye, it’s see you later! - ROAD TRIP #23

    Just as Jenn’s heli ski lodge season comes to an end - a new lodge season is about to begin! We hear the latest from Jenn’s wild runarounds and adventures and what’s currently keeping her busy these days, and what her summer plans entail. A few candid updates from the copilots before a rather large change up… Amanda and Jenn have been hinting at the van’s needs for a service appointment over the last few weeks, and it’s finally time to park the van indefinitely. Between time commitments and busy schedules, Amanda and Jenn are pushing pause on the Road Trip adventures for now, as The Safe Haven and Road Trip take a break.  It’s been a difficult decision to make, but a necessary one.  --- LINKS: Come follow along! @roadtripbuckleup Website: thesafehaven.co Instagram: @thesafehavenpodcast Facebook: The Safe Haven All the good stuff: linktree/thesafehavenpodcast Email:  hello@thesafehaven.co

    The Art of Reinvention + The Thresholds of Change with Rainier Wylde

    Rainier Wylde is a teacher and writer who, as his son would say, is gifted with how he’s able to make people truly feel things. He has been a successful entrepreneur, a psychotherapist, a professor of psychology, and a spiritual director.  His own experiences have contributed to his deep compassion for others, for the world, and for himself. He is committed to writing about living life to the fullest, and teaching others how to access and acknowledge their deepest truths.  In this fantastic conversation, Rainier tells us about his decision to walk away from a community he built to chase adventure with intention, and start playing a more active role in his life. He touches on the art of reinvention, and how it was in the blowing up of his life that he stepped into the truest thresholds of change.  There is so much to this conversation, and it goes in a few different directions, and I cannot wait for you to hear it!  --- LINKS: Rainier on Instagram: @rainierwylde Rainier’s Website: www.rainierwylde.com Love Like Hell: Apple Podcasts - Love Like Hell   Website: thesafehaven.co Instagram: @thesafehavenpodcast Facebook: The Safe Haven All the good stuff: linktree/thesafehavenpodcast Email:  hello@thesafehaven.co

    Dog Chats, Abundance Mindset, and Books! Lifer Emily is in the Vaaaannn!! - ROAD TRIP #22

    As we were all aware, Jenn’s season wrap up at the lodge has had her as busy as a bee! She was unable to join Amanda in the van this week, as she had to head out to the island to grab her stuff and move it closer to where she’s working. The van had to head in for some maintenance, so one of Amanda’s besties, Emily Bromley, sat shotgun for the ride today!  In this candid catch up, Amanda and Emily gush about plant names, their individual journeys into an abundance mindset, and what books they’re currently reading. Emily tells us all about her hobbies, her dogs, her job, and her side hustle with Wish Bone Dog Co.  --- LINKS: Emily on Instagram: @embrom.ley Wish Bone Dog Co. @wishbone.dogco Come follow along! @roadtripbuckleup Website: thesafehaven.co Instagram: @thesafehavenpodcast Facebook: The Safe Haven All the good stuff: linktree/thesafehavenpodcast Email:  hello@thesafehaven.co

    I Am Me; Navigating Identity Through Commitment to Oneself

    CW: Today’s guest speaks about their sexual assault / rape. They also recount one morning’s thoughts on dying by suicide.  Mx Trina Prince (they/them) is a trans, non-binary, disabled, neurodivergent, white person, who currently lives on the territories of the Kwikwetlem, Qayqayt, Stó:lō, Tsleil-Waututh, Squamish, and Musqueam First Nations (colonially know as Port Moody, BC). Ever since Trina became a survivor of sexual assault in 2009, they have been a huge advocate for ending all forms of gender based violence. Now, Trina is very honoured to be the Board Chair for the WAVAW Rape Crisis Centre in Vancouver and as of January 2021, Trina started a new role as the Manager of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Most importantly, they are a proud cat dad to Tucker.  Today’s conversation sheds light on Trina’s realities after their sexual assault, burying themself in work and being busy through their declining mental health. Trina shares how important friendships were and have been - the kind where a friend truly sees you and helps advocate for you when you’re unable to do so. Trina also fills us in on the monumental work they’re doing now, and how that came to be.  --- LINKS: Trina on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/trinaprince Trina on Instagram: @trinap4   Website: thesafehaven.co Instagram: @thesafehavenpodcast Facebook: The Safe Haven All the good stuff: linktree/thesafehavenpodcast Email:  hello@thesafehaven.co

    Room service? I’ll take twenty pairs of slippers… - ROAD TRIP #20

    We love being friends and we love our friends and seeing our friends so much. On today’s drive, Jenn tells us about her visit with a lifetime friend, Julie Moore! That gets us into chatting about a mug from The Dorothy Motel in Banff that was recently shipped to Ontario, and somehow that weaves into Jenn’s wild order of slippers… you just wait.  Amanda tells a few stories about her serendipitous meetings of new friends in Kaslo while house/dog-sitting for friends, and what happens on garbage day when you don’t have a lid for the dumpster… some dynamic stories for the drive today!  --- LINKS: Come follow along! @roadtripbuckleup Website: thesafehaven.co Instagram: @thesafehavenpodcast Facebook: The Safe Haven All the good stuff: linktree/thesafehavenpodcast Email:  hello@thesafehaven.co

Ariana and her now fiancé have settled in Collingwood and are expecting a baby in the next two months! Ariana’s entire world right now is all about creation, and she’s found her flow. --- LINKS: Ariana on Instagram: @ariana.novak  |  @everlovecollingwood Everlove’s Website: www.tryeverlove.com   Website: thesafehaven.co Instagram: @thesafehavenpodcast Facebook: The Safe Haven All the good stuff: linktree/thesafehavenpodcast Email: hello@thesafehaven.co
