In this episode, Brittany shares about the journey she took to discover her gifts as a psychic and medium. Gifts that she pushed down after realizing they weren't understood or accepted by the people closest to her. Join us in this wonderfully colourful conversation that explores how we abandon what comes so easily to us intuitively, to follow the path created for us - a path many of us resent, but don't know how to escape.

Many of us have experienced making life plans, only to have them unexpectedly change or be impacted by life events out of our control.

In this episode, Sadie speaks about beginning their first semester of school to begin their music therapy degree when they got into an accident, leaving Sadie with a head injury that put a stop to the continuation of their studies.

After a year of recovery, Sadie returned to learn that the route they had planned for themselves was no longer an option due to the limitations their brain injury created. But that didn't stop Sadie from finding an alternative route.

Listen as Sadie shares their story of taking an unexpected path with a dash of perseverance and a sprinkle of willingness to find a way back following their dreams .

In this episode I chat with Nicole Puffer, also known as Chef Nicole - a mom, wife and business owner at Meals without Madness. Nicole shares with us about some of her journey in becoming a chef, and choosing to create a business that aligned with her life, allowing her to follow her desire to spend time with her family, while also doing what she loves.

Nicoles mission is to help others on their food journey -- whether it's to teach people about food, or help them get fresh food on the table.

This is a follow up episode to the previous drop about my recent health scare. I speak out about the flags that had been popping up for me for years, and how ignoring them landed me with facing burn out three times that likely also impacted my fatty liver diagnosis.

I also speak to realizing I was doing what our culture taught me to do - and those norms of keeping up, and constantly chasing goals landed me in a pretty unhealthy place - both in body and mind.

When I finally realized that I was the common denominator, I sought out new information to support making better decisions, and it's impacting many aspects of my life for the better.

When we stay in ignorance about what our bodies are telling us, we suffer. Sometimes it takes us a while to get the message. My hope is that we get the messages before our bodies give up on us.

In this episode I share about my recent health scare, what I've learned about it, and how I've leaned into the lessons it has opened me up to. I was shocked to learn how common this experience is for other people my age, yet I'd never heard about it before my diagnosis.
