    Financial Flight Plans & Everyday Change Makers | Mike Reilly

    "Money is never really about money; it’s about emotion, security and freedom." ~ Mike Reilly In this episode of The Eloquent Entrepreneur, I sit down with Mike Reilly, financial advisor, founder of Gaining Altitude Financial and a committed community builder. We discuss why so many of us feel like we’re flying through turbulence when it comes to our finances, and how a clear "Financial Flight Plan" can help you reach your destination ahead of schedule . Mike opens up about how his early experiences with money shaped his approach today , why financial literacy matters more than ever, and the powerful lesson that action leads to motivation, not the other way around. We also dive into our shared passion project—bringing an outdoor pool to Victoria’s West Shore—as proof that meaningful change often starts with just one small question . Key Takeaways: The First Step: Everyday change makers can create meaningful impact just by taking it one step at a time. Financial Literacy: Why understanding your money is crucial for both personal freedom and community growth. The Advice Gap: A staggering 80% of Canadians do not receive professional financial advice—and why that needs to change. Life-First Planning: True financial planning should focus on life goals and "destination," not just investment returns . Risk Perception: How women often have a more realistic view of financial risks. The New Generation: Why the financial industry needs more young professionals to help people build wealth early. Wealth Transfer: The importance of careful planning to avoid tax inefficiencies. Community Ripple Effect: How getting involved in local projects like Rotary can enhance personal and professional life. Action Over Motivation: Why waiting to feel "motivated" is a trap—action is what generates the momentum you need. Successful Entrepreneurs: Why achieving the "impossible" requires doing what others are unwilling to do.

    Mindfulness, Boundaries & The Shift from Hustle to Harmony | Jill Lawrence

    Can entrepreneurship actually be a vehicle for personal healing and growth? In this episode of The Eloquent Entrepreneur, I sit down with Jill Lawrence, website designer, mindfulness teacher, and co-founder of the Cowichan Women’s Business Network (CWBN). We dig into how running a business forces us to confront our own shadows, why setting boundaries is actually an act of self-love, and how a simple morning mindfulness practice can completely change the trajectory of your day.Jill shares the candid story behind CWBN’s rapid growth, the role of "co-regulation" in her client work, and her personal journey from a nervous networker to a confident speaker—including the leap it took to give a DisruptHR talk to 400 people. If you’re trying to balance creativity with strategy, or just need a reminder that progress happens one tiny step at a time, this conversation is for you. Takeaways: • Inner Work as Business Strategy: How entrepreneurship reveals where we need to grow, especially regarding boundaries and self-worth. • The Morning Anchor: Why a daily mindfulness practice (even just a few minutes) steadies the nervous system for better decision-making. • Co-Regulation in Business: How bringing a calm presence to client meetings unlocks better ideas and smoother collaboration. • Art Meets Structure: Why creativity and strategy aren’t opposites—effective web design requires both. • The Power of Community: The origin story of the Cowichan Women’s Business Network and what happens when women gather to support rather than compete. • Designing for Belonging: Why inclusive community building takes intentional design to ensure diversity and safety. • Public Speaking Confidence: How to move from fear to the stage by starting small and stretching your comfort zone. • The Micro-Step Method: Progress loves clarity—pick one small action by a specific date to move your biggest ideas forward.

    Feeling to Heal | Julie Marrast

    "You cannot give what you do not have. To connect deeply with our children, we must first learn to connect deeply with ourselves." ~ Julie Marrast In this episode of The Eloquent Entrepreneur, author and TEDx speaker Julie Marrast opens up about the moment she realized she was showing up for her son—but not for herself. What followed was a deep personal journey through emotional healing, grief, plant medicine, and parenting with intention. Julie shares how emotional release—through crying, laughing, shaking, sweating, and even yawning—helped her reconnect with her true self and build stronger relationships at home. If you’ve ever felt overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you’re carrying more than your share, this conversation offers real tools, honest stories, and a quiet kind of hope for every parent and caregiver. Takeaways: • Emotional Release: Why crying, laughing, and even yawning are natural, powerful ways to process stress and trauma. • Connection First: Why parenting with intention starts by learning to feel and process your own emotions first. • Building Your Village: You don’t need a perfect pre-existing community; you can build your own support system from the ground up. • Navigating Doubt: Why self-doubt is a natural part of the process for creatives, caregivers, and entrepreneurs. • Breaking Patterns: How healing family patterns often starts with one person deciding to do things differently. • Unlocking Clarity: Why the courage to feel is the ultimate key to unlocking creativity, clarity, and connection in all areas of life. Chapters: 00:00 Empowering Everyday Change Makers 01:46 The Journey to Emotional Connection 03:03 Transformative Parenting Through Emotional Awareness 06:57 Overcoming Challenges in Emotional Healing 07:34 Understanding Emotional Release 09:01 Daily Practices for Emotional Connection 11:12 The Role of Self-Care in Coaching 12:28 Finding Inspiration in Personal Experiences 13:46 Building a Supportive Community 16:14 Tools for Emotional Healing in Parenting 17:14 Defining Purpose Through Personal Struggles 20:25 Creativity as a Byproduct of Emotional Healing 22:11 The Importance of Authenticity in Sharing Stories 25:21 Vision for the Future of Emotional Support 26:34 Marketing and Spreading the Message 29:50 The Power of Vulnerability in Entrepreneurship 31:13 Looking Ahead: Resources for Parents Visit Our Website https://www.eloquententrepreneur.ca/ Follow Us on Social Media Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/eloquententrepreneur Credits Guest: Julie Marrast Website: https://www.parentingthroughfeeling.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/parentingthroughfeeling/ Host: Linda Mackie | Photographer, Creative Producer + Intuitive Guide for Modern Entrepreneurs Website: https://www.lindamackie.ca/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindamackiecreative/ Production: Keenlii Website: https://www.keenlii.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keenliico/ Producer: Barry Keegan LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barrykeegan/ Subscribe and Support If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe and leave a review on Spotify, Apple, or YouTube.
