Bio Phoenix Starchild
You will get her life track in the podcast; she opted to share herself through her poem.
The Alchemy of My Awakening
I am a wildfire, a hurricane, I am unleashed!
vibrant. wild. beautiful.
I am the storm, the lightning, the booming thunder.
I am a seductress, healer, free-spirited chaser of adventure.
I am a gentle breeze on a warm summer day.
I am comfort.
I am solace from the ugliness of the world.
I am tenderness, nurture, gentle arms around weary shoulders.
I am soft, open, the place of safety.
I am confidante, advocate, fierce ally and protector.
I am bad-ass, playmate, partner in crime.
I am lusty and passionate, and raucous laughter.
I am ancient wisdom.
still. certain. sure.
I am the depths.
I am rooted in the earth, interwoven fibres of the vast universe, 
connected to all knowledge, power, and grace.
I am forgiveness and restoration. 
I am redemption in a touch.
I am home.
I am Love.
- Phoenix

In this captivating episode of "Fascinating Women" with host Mark Laurie, we journey through the life of Dana McIntosh, a woman whose story is as diverse as it is inspiring. Born in Winnipeg and raised in England, Dana's life took a turn when she visited Calgary during the 1988 Winter Olympics.
Years later, remembering how she fell in love with the city, she made a bold move, leaving her life in London to start anew in Canada. Dana shares her experiences of working in the high-octane world of advertising in London during the 80s, her transition to life in Calgary, and the stark contrasts between the two cities. She reflects on the influence of Margaret Thatcher, her core values of respect, continuous learning, and hard work, and the importance of kindness in her life. Kindness has always guided her.

Dana's journey is not just about professional success; it's about adapting to life's challenges, embracing opportunities, and the joy of retirement. Her story is a testament to the power of resilience, adaptability, and the courage to follow one's heart.

Dana McIntosh Bio
‘Den Mother/Cat Herder’ – that’s me!  These endearing and apropos monikers were bestowed on me by colleagues years ago. As a career Executive Assistant supporting the highest echelons of international organizations, I became a self-styled ‘Moneypenney’ supporting entire C-suites and their Boards of Directors. My overarching performance objective was always to stay two steps ahead of the game - anticipate the need and have the solution(s) on hand, often before my execs themselves even realized what they needed.
My finely-honed administrative and management skills garnered over 4 decades were employed in high-profile international marketing and ad agencies (BBDO), in project and property management firms, and in the brewing(Big Rock), distilling (Eau Claire), and grocery (Co-op) industries. I additionally have served on Community Boards, Health & Safety Committees, and volunteered with the ‘Girl Guides of Canada’ for a 12-year period. 
Although Canadian-born, I was entirely educated in the UK, worked in central London for 8 years, then Calgary, which has now been my home these past 35 years. Away from the Boardroom, we hobby-farmed and later built our family-owned ‘Canal at Delacour Golf Club.’  Naturally, when the sun shines, golf is my ‘happy place’.  Fore!
