I sit down with Marlee Watts- she is the co-founder at Hemlock Tattoo here in Calgary.  They are an all female crew with attention towards consent based work and trauma awareness practices.  After personal experiences of toxic treatment towards women in the tattoo industry, these ladies set out to make sure what they became familiar with doesn't happen to others.   If opening a completely revolutionary business during a pandemic wasn't enough- Marlee has also done it while pursuing sobriety.  Listen in as Marlee shares about her teams practices and blows my mind throughout with her insight and awareness.

Chris Johnson knew something wasn't right when he found himself breaking down and crying at work as a crane operator in the oil fields.  Since that event, he chose to take a deep look at his mental health.  We sit down to discuss his diagnosis with Bipolar disorder, becoming a Bell Lets Talk Ambassador and how he has turned these experiences into helping men work through toxic traits within their own masculinity.  

Tilena Read and I met through the Universe....don't stop reading! I have been wanting to sit with her since coming across her minimalist art and creative brand on Instagram; One day, her name was casually mentioned through my nutritionist who knows her!  I can't ignore it when things line up like that and by that afternoon, she was set to be my next guest.

Tilena and I share our experiences navigating our relationship with food and body image.  Much more prevalent than in the past, it is still something that deserves a bigger platform.  Tilena opens up about her first known memories with adverse eating behaviors, major moments in her life, taking back the enjoyment and control over the food and how art has carried her through her journey.
