    Episode 262 Being real about BII Healing

    In this amazing episode I bring on one of fave podcasters, Bianca from Could it BII? to catch up on her healing journey ❤️ Bianca takes us through being a kid with no medicinal issues or concerns until later in her younger life, having to get a surgery that eventually led to her journey to getting breast implants. Bianca felt a pressure to look more feminine & to possibly fit her clothes a little better, walk a little braver and feel a little more confident so when the implant topic came up, it wasn’t off the table but rather explored to eventual implants. Which made her feel incredible… until it didn’t 😢 After a long list of symptoms starting piling up combined with another local gal sharing her explant story, Bianca started her journey to explanting and advocating with her podcast at the same time! Join us in this amazing catch up to see where she is now and get a run down of her journey before and after implanting/explanting!

    Episode 261 Being real with Sofia

    In today’s episode I bring back one of my fave humans to chat with, Sofia! Sofia first came on the show in Season 9 Ep 220 with our girl Lacey (shout out to Lacey!) where they shared their experiences leaving their nursing careers to take on a dream opportunity that turned out to be an absolute ongoing nightmare that leaves you with your jaw on the floor (make sure to go listen!) But in this episode we dive deeper into who Sofia was as a kid and growing up, what brought her to nursing in the first place, how she made a complete shift in the way she can serve and help her clients, how she reacted to the vaccine, how she is doing now and literally anything little side quests we could! She says we as professionals yappers and that’s absolutely correct! Loved catching up and learning more about the absolute gem of a human being 🦄

    Episode 260 Being real about missing people 🇨🇦 Saskatchewan Edition

    In today’s episode I continue on my journey sharing stories of open missing people of Canada cases. We started this series in BC, then moved to AB and today we focus on open cases in Saskatchewan. I was very disheartened while researching at the lack of communications and stories on these individuals. Luckily one story had made it on the big screen on paramount but that’s one story of many unheard 😢 I apologize for the short episode and the lack of I formation on all these cases but either censorship is preventing me from finding more or the info just isn’t out there. Either way, I bring up 4 missing people cases in Saskatchewan. Tamra Jewel Keepness who was 5 when she went missing from Regina in 2004, Derek Sarazin went missing from Saskatoon in Nov 2024 at the age of 48, Jesse Strongman also went missing from Saskatoon in Nov 2021 at the age of 29 and finally I touch on the case of Mekayla Bali, a 16 year old who went missing in Yorkton in 2016. At the time of recording all cases remained open. Again, truly apologize of the lack of info on these individuals but the main points are there. They are missed and the families need help. Please screenshot these photos and keep them in your prayers ❤️

    Episode 259 Being real about Coming to God Part 1

    In this episode I start a new series where I dive into people’s experiences coming back to God. Everyone’s experience is so different but somewhat the same and I really want to capture that and help others see everyone’s journey will look different and that’s ok! I start with one of my fave women ever, Robyn to quiz her more about her experience growing up in the “Bible Belt” in the south, what strayed her away for God and what brought her back. We’ve touched on this a bit in past episodes with Robyn about soil fracturing and of course in our conspiracy talk but this one goes a bit deeper on her personal journey back to God 🥰

    Episode 258 Being real about Canadian Healthcare

    In this episode I bring back one of my favourite women on earth, Kristin, to catch up with her, her life in Texas battling Stage 4 Ovarian Cancer and getting deeper into the disaster that is Canadian Healthcare. Being someone who was born in the US, moved to Canada, obtained dual citizenship and had to then flee Canada to save her life due to MANY things wrong with our healthcare, she is the perfect person to talk to about this. Most Canadians are being left behind due to the continual decline of our country and our healthcare system and it seems no one wants to address the elephant in the room here. HOW did we go from being a country with sought after healthcare to having so many fleeing abroad to survive? Kristin and I go over many of the reasons we think this could be happening with a heavy focus on the fact that the government has lost the plot by mismanaging money, pushing MAIDs, adding intense regulations & not giving practitioners proper resources and abilities to treat their patients as THEY see fit... to name a few. IT IS TIME TO BE REAL BABES... WE NEED TO FIX THIS! Eternally grateful for people like Kristin who is currently battling cancer and fighting for a better Canada. We all deserve better.

    Episode 257 Being real about 1 Year of Carney

    In this episode I bring back Christopher Balkaran from the Open Minds podcast to catch up & go over the last yeah under the Carney Liberal Government. As we tend to do, we touch on many topics in this 2 hour catch up like Canadians political identity, how Christopher came to podcasting, how Brookfield has its hands (allegedly!) into so many companies that will be profiting from Canadian policy, and the general consensus of Canadians… We are tired of being broke after doing all the things we were supposed to do and still feel behind. This isn’t the Canada we grew up in and we both have nostalgia for that time! Having open and real talks are so important for Canadians now more than ever so please never stop conversing and connecting with one another. Join Christopher and I for this awesome convo!

  7. Episode 256 Being real about Small Business; Big Illness

    May 1

    Episode 256 Being real about Small Business; Big Illness

    In today's episode I bring on an incredibly strong, bad ass babe, Krystal Clark to share her journey into small buisness and what that really means if you are Canadian and happen to become ill. Krystal did all the right things she was supposed to do. She worked hard, she raised her kids and supported her husband at the time, she expanded her knowledge, she started her own business and was living life enjoying the fruits of her labor. But what happens if you are a small buisness owner and you all of a sudden become ill? Surely with all the taxes we pay as canadians there has to be SOMETHING when a small buisiness owner has to step away for care right? WRONG-O. Unless you pay into the EI system or have an emergency fund, there is NOTHING for you. Ziltch. NA-DA. Now imagine going through the most physical pain, mental anguish, an auto immune disease and basically have to suck that all the f**k up and work because WHOMST is paying while you recover OR just adjust to this new life with your medical condition. WHICH IS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE for most disabled or ill individuals. SPECIALLY if they need their physical body like Krystal does, since she is currently an RMT. WHAT does this country do for those who chase their dreams of starting their own business? Absolutely nothing unless you've paid to play. WONDER what 40% of our taxes go.... not to these hard working small business owners. I will not get conspiratorial here but one has to wonder why small businesses are not being supported here in Canada. Now, not only does Krystal have to deal with auto immune she also has to be careful after a botched surgery and Canada is doing nothing but offering her dispare and YOU GUESSED IT ... MAIDS. (imagine my most ANGRY face here). Krystal explains how she navigated her entire journey through this and what she thinks small business owners in Canada should do to protect themselves if or when they become unable to support their own work as they heal. Do not ever give up babes, Krystal is living proof life is worth living, you are worthy of being here ❤️

    Episode 255 Being real about Missing People Alberta Edition

    In today’s episode, I am continuing the promised series about missing people of Canada. If you haven’t watched episode 250 for BC, please do so! Next month will be Saskatchewan 🙏🏼 I again bring 3 different stories on the show of those (at the time of recording) are still missing. I stick to facts I found online and tried to stay away from online perceptions. First I speak about Darius MacDougall. Darius was 6 years old at the time of his disappearance and went missing from Crowsnest Pass in Alberta while camping with his family. He has been missing since September 10th, 2025 and currently still missing. Darius was last seen wearing blue and grey sweater, a Grinch Christmas shirt, sweatpants, Paw Patrol shoes and his hair was cut short. Authorities are asking those recreating in the Crowsnest area to keep eyes out of any signs of Darius. Secondly, I speak about the disappearance of Angela Morningstar Alexis. Angela has been missing since August 17th, 2022 from the Edmonton area. Her uncle was the last to see her in August and she was reported missing a few weeks later after family members were getting increasingly worried of her whereabouts. Her family have worked tirelessly to get help finding her with little help so please screen shot her photo and keep it in an missing persons album 🙏🏼 Angela was last seen wearing black pants, a pink shirt, she is 5’6”, black/brown long hair, brown eyes and was 28 years old at the time of her disappearance. Finally I share the story of Issac Iwaasas who had been missing since November 2019. Issac had left his mother’s house in Lethbridge the night of the 17th of November to go back to Calgary and has not been found since. Issac’s disappearance has many twists and turns and a ton of unanswered questions as a few days after his disappearance his truck was found torched in Pemberton, BC - a place no one expected him to be. His family shared his story on Paramount + Never seen again S1 Episode 7, which I highly recommend watching this series too. Each one of these stories hits my heart in different and same ways. Each one has family they are missing and no answers. If you feel called to, please go look them up and screenshot pictures and keep those eyes up and aware for those missing Canadians. Join me next month for the next segment of Missing people 🇨🇦 Saskatchewan edition.
