    S3, E10 - TW: My Story isn't Special. And Maybe that's the Problem.

    TW: Sexual Assault The Cornell 7 case is everywhere in the media right now. Everyone has an opinion. Everyone is weighing in. And honestly, it can be really hard to listen to it all. But maybe it should be uncomfortable. Because it is horrific. And this year, I experienced something horrific too. I was sexually assaulted. And I didn't tell anyone. I didn't report it. I didn't fight back. I pretended it didn't happen. I fawned, I compartmentalized, and I did whatever I needed to do to get through the situation and the days that followed. Because my story isn't special. In fact, it's horrifyingly ordinary. In this episode, I'm choosing to share my experience—not for attention, not for pity, and not because I think my story is more important than anyone else's. I'm sharing it because I've carried the shame of it for months, and I'm ready to put some of that shame down. And if telling my story helps even one woman feel less alone, or helps someone understand that surviving doesn't always look the way we think it does, then it is worth saying out loud. But this episode is also a plea to the good men. We need you. We need you to speak up. We need you to challenge the conversations, the jokes, the behaviour and the silence that allow sexual violence to continue. Because “it's not all men” doesn't mean much if the men who aren't doing it are still choosing to do nothing. This is a difficult conversation. But maybe that's exactly why we need to have it.

    S3, E9: Speaking in the Age of Outrage

    I’m back with my first solo episode in a couple of months — and there’s been a lot swirling around in my brain. In this episode, I catch you up on where I’ve been, how I’ve been feeling, and why showing up and speaking openly has felt a little scarier lately. We’re talking social media, AI, the fear of saying the “wrong” thing, and what happens when it feels like everyone is ready to react, judge, or jump to conclusions. How do we keep showing up authentically when speaking up feels so...risky?

    S3, E7: Interview with Ange States - Marathons, Mindset, & Solo Adventures

    I'm so excited to finally interview someone on the Pod. It's been a while, and I can't think of a more perfect person to introduce to this podcast than Angelise States. 6 time marathon runner, Digital Creator, Fitness Instructor at Studio Verso, Lululemon Ambassador - Ange truly is embodying the phrase "feel the fear and do it anyway". From her first decision to take up running almost a decade ago, to now, training for her 7th Marathon in Berlin, Ange has a lot of insight to share on how she got to where she is today. And it didn't happen overnight. It was a lot of small (and BIG) decisions & yes's that put her on this path, which makes this interview such a good listen for anyone that's looking to try something new. You can find Ange on Instagram @angelisestates or teaching classes at Studio Verso. You can also find her Run Club on Instagram: @mileonerunclub Listen, share with a friend, give a 5-star review. Help me get this podcast into more people's ears! And as always, thank you for being here. :)

    S3, E6: Let's Talk About Money!

    Why is money such a shameful topic for so many people? And why do we feel like if we're not making enough money, that we are not as successful as those who are? Do you equate success with what's in your bank account? Do you even look at your money? What you're spending? What you're saving? Money is a topic I have a really hard time talking about. I've made a lot of mistakes over the years when it comes to my finances. Some hard truths I've had to face despite being terrified. Let's dive in! Would love to hear your thoughts.

    S3, E4: The Fear of Getting it Wrong. What if I Fail?

    A common theme I see within myself & a constant conversation I have with others is about the fear of getting it wrong. This is one of the biggest reasons why we hide or put things on pause. What if we show up, but we get it wrong? What if I embarrass myself? What if people hate what I'm putting out into the world?? This weekend I hosted a retreat, and that theme came up quite a bit. With my participants AND me. In this episode, I share about my retreat experience and some things that came up for me leading up to the weekend, during, and after.
