    Hold Them Capable: Leading People to Their Potential with Lee Tracie-Stockburger

    Are you giving the people in your life credit? Or are you imagining they are incapable? What if that's the problem?  In this episode, we sit down with poet, coach, and manager of international leadership development at Hungry for Life International, Lee Tracie-Stockburger, to talk about what happens when a leader starts to believe in the capacity of the people in front of them, and actually hold them to it. She shares her experience of what transformational servant leadership actually looks like in practice.  We also talk about presence as a word, a practice, and a way of being, the courage it takes to experiment when you cannot predict the outcome, and why sometimes the impact you are having is the one you will never get to see. Lee also closes the episode with a beautiful original poem that stopped us both in our tracks. Lee is married to Mark, they are parents of 3 fantastic and creative adult children, she is a poet, and her brand spanking new role is Manager of International Leadership Development at Hungry For Life International. HFL is a Canadian Christian charity doing transformational relief & development internationally in 15 countries.

    Recovering People Pleaser: How Boundaries Let You Manage Your Energy with Genevieve Retzlaff

    Are you trying to please everyone? Whether you're in the corporate world, an entrepreneur or simply have relationships with other people; managing your energy and your time can be a tricky dance. Does balance in life ever truly exist and how do we actually set (and hold) those boundaries we know we need to set?  In this episode, we sit down with executive coach and organisational development consultant Genevieve Retzlaff, founder of Grow Better Together, to talk about what it really takes to build an intentional life inside a system that was never designed with you in mind. We get into why so many high performers are burning out not from laziness but from saying yes to everything, how the fear of losing your job keeps people stuck in overwork, and why managing your energy really is the shift that changes everything.  Gen shares how she thinks of herself as a recovering people pleaser. Now that she has discovered what it actually takes to hold a boundary when the people around you push back; we talk about why trust and faith are at the foundation of all of it.  Genevieve Retzlaff is the Founder and CEO of Grow Better Together, an Organizational Development consultancy, and a PCC-certified Executive and Team Coach with 15+ years in HR Business Partnering and over 1,000 hours coaching senior leaders. Her mission is simple: help growing small and mid-size companies build healthier workplaces that are actually set up to hit their strategic goals rather than just survive the growth phase. Off the clock, she practices what she preaches, running her own life on the same intentionality and boundaries she coaches her clients toward.

    Negotiating Relationships: It's Not What You Say, It's How You Say It with Neil Hamilton

    Every relationship is a negotiation. From where to eat, what you watch, how you manage your money, or who gets the left side of the bed. We are negotiating with the people we love every single day, whether we realize it or not. In this episode, we sit down with Neil Hamilton, a negotiator with over 40 years of experience in broadcast sales and real estate, who is now applying those skills to something far more personal: couples in crisis asking the big question "Should I stay or should I go?".  We talk about the pressures that modern life is placing on relationships, why so many couples find themselves stuck without knowing what they actually want, and how asking the right questions can change everything. We also get into the crossover between negotiation and NLP, why the meaning of your communication is always the response you get back, and why it's never really about what you said, it's about how you said it. With over 20 years of national broadcast sales experience dealing with Canada's largest advertisers plus another 20 in both residential and commercial real estate, it can be genuinely said that Neil knows negotiation. Sensing an acute societal need, he has now applied his negotiation skills to couples in crisis. Stay or go? And whatever the decision, what's the most painless way to make that happen?

    Build It Anyway: Flexibility Over Perfection with Alex Osan

    What if the businesses that look the most successful from the outside were never actually following the plan? In this episode, we sit down with serial entrepreneur Alex Osan, co-founder of Mi Tierra Latina and co-owner of Multiservices Vancouver and SA Cleaning Group, to talk about what it really takes to build and scale multiple businesses at once. We get into why you can't scale chaos, the mindset shift that comes with learning to delegate, and why the plan changing is not a failure, it is just part of the process. We also dig into burnout prevention, intentional time management, and why a roadblock is never a sign to stop, only a sign to reroute. If you have ever felt like you needed everything figured out before you could start, this episode is your permission to build it anyway.

She is the Co-founder of Mi Tierra Latina, one of Canada's fastest-growing Latin American grocery chains, and Co-owner of Multiservices Vancouver and SA Cleaning Group.

    From Victim to Vital: The Missing Piece in Chronic Pain with Dasha Maslennikova

    Chronic pain is any physical pain that lasts for more than 3 months. But after three months, it's rarely only physical, it's emotional and mental too. In this episode, we sit down with Canadian Kinesiologist of the Year and clinical director of Symmetrics Kinesiology, Dasha Maslennikova, to talk about the missing piece that most people in chronic pain never address; mindset. We get into how the victim mindset keeps pain locked in, why the nervous system is the bridge between mental and physical healing, and how awareness and small deliberate actions can shift you from helpless to vital. Dasha also shares her own 13 year journey through chronic pain and what finally moved the needle, including breathwork, meditation, and yes, hypnosis. This one is not just for people in pain. It's for anyone who has ever felt like life is happening to them. Dasha is the Clinical Director and co-owner of Symmetrix Kinesiology. She brings 12 years of experience in active rehabilitation, personal training, aquatic therapy, ergonomics, and performance training for clients ranging from athletes to those with chronic pain or cardiac rehabilitation needs. Recognized with awards including Canadian Kinesiologist of the Year (2021) and Vancouver’s Top Kinesiology Studio (2022–2025), she is passionate about helping people improve movement, function, and overall well-being through a holistic mind-body approach to rehabilitation and training.

    Zoom Out: How Changing Your Lens Transforms Your Confidence with Tina Aquila Posteraro

    Most of us have spent years zooming in on everything we think is wrong with ourselves. But what if the problem was never what you saw, it was the lens you were looking through? In this episode, we sit down with Tina Aquila Posteraro, founder of Oculus Portraits, Vancouver's premier boudoir studio, to talk about what actually happens when women finally see themselves the way everyone else does. We get into how body shame and self-criticism are really just a focus problem, why confidence is the catalyst for change and not the reward for it, and how a single shift in perception can ripple out into every area of your life. We also talk about why doing the thing that scares you is where the confidence has been hiding all along, and why saying yes to yourself might be the most powerful first step you can take. If you have been waiting until you feel ready, this episode is your sign. Tina is the founder of Oculus Portraits, Vancouver’s premier boudoir studio where women come to feel safe, seen, and celebrated. She believes every woman at every  age, stage and size, deserves to feel like a goddess, and she’s built a luxurious space where that feeling is the entire experience.

    Stuck in Survival Mode: How Nervous System Regulation Rewires Your Reality with Mallory Meyer

    If the world feels heavy, overwhelming, or like it's constantly out to get you, it might not be the world. It might be your nervous system. In this episode, we sit down with nervous system coach and energy practitioner Mallory Meyer to explore what it actually means to live in a regulated state and why so many high capacity people have never experienced it. We talk about how dysregulation distorts the lens through which we see everything, simple somatic tools you can use anywhere to bring yourself back into balance, and why safety, not striving, is the real foundation of lasting change. She even walks us through a real-time experience we can use to calm our body and help real transformation to stick. If you've been trying to think your way out of stress, this episode will show you there's another way.  Mallory Meyer is the founder of White Wolf Reiki and a guide for high-capacity leaders, creatives, and entrepreneurs who are stretched thin and stuck in overdrive. Blending nervous system regulation, subconscious re-patterning, and energy work, she helps people dissolve outdated patterns and reconnect to who they are beneath pressure and expectations. A former HR leader and 2x DisruptHR speaker, Mallory bridges science, somatics, and intuition to create real, sustainable transformation rooted in safety, not striving Connect with Mallory: WEBSITE: https://www.whitewolfreiki.ca INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mal.meyer LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com Thanks for tuning in!
