    #604: The Lie We Were Told About Success: An Episode For Every Woman

    In this episode, I get into what I really think is underneath all of this (and it's not ambition). For a lot of us, what we've been calling ambition is actually survival. From the time we were little girls, being good, capable, productive, and useful got rewarded. And eventually our nervous systems wired achievement to safety. If I perform, I'm safe. If I'm useful, I'm loved.   That's not a personality trait. That's a nervous system pattern. And it explains why slowing down can feel absolutely terrifying even when your body is begging for rest.   Reflection questions from this episode: What do you actually want if no one was watching? What are you still trying to prove, and to whom? If you woke up tomorrow already believing you were enough, what would you stop chasing? Write your own definition of success. Not your industry's, not Instagram's, not your parents'. Yours. Audit your calendar. Does it reflect what you say you want? Let's dive in! Thank you for joining us today.

    #602: Stop Looking for the Perfect Room. Build It.

    In this episode, I'm doing a full reflection on the sixth annual Audacious Woman Retreat I hosted in Kelowna this past June.   This isn't just a recap. It's a conversation about something I believe with every fiber of my being: the room is the most powerful business tool you will ever step into, and sometimes, you have to be brave enough to build it yourself. In this episode, I'm sharing: Why I hosted five women in my rented home for five days, and what emerged that no agenda could have planned The difference between information and knowledge  Why the "right room" has nothing to do with celebrity coaches, luxury venues, or million-dollar masterminds What I've learned after six years of hosting these retreats: the room doesn't actually exist until the humans arrive The concept of "stacking evidence" Why vulnerability creates speed in business (and why pretending you have it together is costing you years) The lobster theory of women in business  Why confidence is contagious, and what happens when one woman asks the hard question out loud My reflection on leadership: I'm not better than the women in the room, I'm just a little further along A permission slip for the woman who has been waiting to feel "ready enough" to gather her people   Let's dive in!

    #601: What Travelling to Italy for 15 days with Our Kids Taught us About Money

    This week, I pulled my husband in to do a full recap of our family trip to Italy at the end of May. We were there for 15 days with our two kids (17 and 19 at the time), and honestly, a month later I'd hop on a plane back in a heartbeat. We cover everything: how we planned it, how we paid for it, what we'd do differently, and the real, unfiltered truth about what it's like to travel as a family of four for two weeks straight. In this episode, we talk about: How we used credit card points to cover four flights and how we scored a last-minute premium cabin upgrade for all of us for about $3,000 The difference between staying in hotels vs. Airbnbs, and why Airbnbs won for us every time Why we'd skip the Amalfi next time (controversial, I know) and where we wish we'd spent more days The hidden charges at Italian restaurants that caught us off guard  How we average 20,000–30,000 steps a day and why getting lost on foot is genuinely one of the best travel strategies Why we booked the Colosseum and Vatican three months out Our honest take on Naples  What it means to raise kids who know how to travel    Let's dive in!

    #600: Why Fixing Your Hormones Isn't Fixing Your Symptoms

    In this episode, I'm going deep on something I've been talking about in my clinical practice for nearly a decade: your hormones are rarely the root cause of how you're feeling. They're messengers. And when we keep trying to silence the message instead of understanding what's driving it, we keep ourselves stuck.   What We Cover in This Episode Why assuming every symptom is a hormone problem can keep you chasing your tail How hormones respond to their environment — emotional, physical, relational, and metabolic The life stages where I see this show up most (early 20s, the thick of your 30s, perimenopause, and beyond) Why I think of hormones like text messages    Let's dive in!

    #599: Taking the First Step for Financial Wealth as a Business Owner

    This week Chris is back with me and we are going deep on a topic that honestly took us years to truly understand: the difference between making money and actually building wealth. If you're a business owner, an entrepreneur, or even just someone who has been grinding away and wondering why the revenue doesn't quite match the financial freedom you pictured, this one is for you.   In this episode, we cover: Revenue vs. profit vs. wealth — why that distinction is one of the most important mindset shifts you'll make as an entrepreneur Sole proprietor vs. incorporated business — how to know which structure makes sense for where you are and where you want to go (and yes, we're Canadians so this is Canadian languaging!) Retained earnings — what they are, why they matter, and how leaving money inside your corporation is one of the most powerful tax advantages available to you The tax reserve — why we recommend setting aside roughly 30% as money comes in, and how shifting to quarterly corporate tax installments changed everything for me Banking strategy vs. wealth strategy — stop asking "where does my money go?" and start asking "what should my money be doing?" Emergency reserves and operating capital — the numbers every business owner needs to understand (and most don't) How insurance investments work inside a corporation — one of Chris's favourite tools that most people never think to ask about The questions to ask your accountant — because showing up informed changes everything Why sitting money is losing money — how inflation quietly erodes the savings you feel "safe" keeping in your business account   Let's dive in!

    #598: The Practitioner Gap Nobody Is Talking About

    In this episode, I'm getting real about two gaps I don't think get talked about enough: the practitioner gap and the knowledge gap that women carry about their own bodies. And here's the thing — they feed directly into each other.   What We Cover: Why I've been genuinely bored with social media lately and what that's made me reflect on about why I started this work in the first place The foundational truth that most women have never been taught the four phases of their cycle, what perimenopause actually is, how insulin, cortisol, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone all interact How "just manage your symptoms" became the biggest lie sold to women in healthcare Why advice without education does not create empowerment  The practitioner opportunity right now: the women coming to you are asking better questions, and they deserve better answers. The future practitioner isn't memorizing protocols  Why the "Amazon Prime" model of healing doesn't work, and what a real client relationship actually looks like The difference between acquiring information and truly understanding your body  My "learn and apply" philosophy and why waiting until you have five certifications is keeping you stuck   Let's dive in!

    #597: Taking the First Step for Financial Wealth as a Family, Individual or Young Adult

    Chris is back, and we're getting into the money conversation so many of you have been asking for. We talk about what a financial broker actually does (and why it's nothing like talking to your bank), who Chris works with, and the real reason most people are saving without a real plan. We also get personal — Chris shares a compound interest conversation he had with our 18-year-old son that genuinely changed how our son thinks about money. We cover families, singles, blended finances, TFSAs, and setting your kids up before they're even old enough to open an account.   What We Cover: Financial broker vs. bank advisor Who benefits from working with someone like Chris (it's not just business owners) Why most people are saving without a real plan or goal The questions couples and families need to be asking but aren't Teaching kids about compound interest  How to invest for your child before they're old enough to open a TFSA The TFSA mistake most Canadians are making Singles vs. couples in retirement Income splitting, spousal RSPs, and when to keep finances separate Canada's coming generational wealth transfer and whether you're ready for it Let's dive in!
