In my experience, there are three top contenders that derive the stress in my life. Number one – there is just too much on my plate, whether self-imposed or otherwise. Number two – things have not gone according to plan (we touched on this in the last coaching episode). And number three – I haven’t […]
Sipping coffee and munching on some avocado toast is what I was doing when I was first introduced to the raw, funny and strong woman that is Morgan Craig-Broadwith. I was at an Ace Class event called Toast where a panel of women were talking about what it takes to do all the things, and […]
I wanted to start the first missive of the year with a commentary on what happens when all the things you planned… don’t go to plan. We’ve all been there, right? You think you’re going to have the most epic New Year’s Eve, but instead you spend hours in line, overpay for cover charges or […]
This week on the podcast we’re joined by body confidence coach, Instagrammer, speaker, YouTuber, podcaster and author, Michelle Elman. Having had 15 surgeries in the space of 20 years, Michelle noticed that there was minimal representation of people with scars in media. She started the campaign #scarrednotscared and shared a picture of herself in a […]
It’s that time of year… The time that we set resolutions and the time that we either say 2018 was amazing, meh or a dumpster fire of a year. I get it. I’ve had all of those three at various year ends. What I want to talk to you about today is how to look […]

When I first saw Mandy speak at a Babes […]

I hear people talk about how they manifest their goals, manifest their dreams, or they are simply “manifesting” and it’s made me feel icky. It made me feel like people were leaving their hopes, dreams, goals up to the mystical universe. And then I read […]
I am so over the moon to be joined on the podcast this week by Marlo Brausse. Those in my life know that I am a barre-convert, and a huge part of that is down to attending Barre Body Studio, owned by Marlo Brausse. In particular, I attended one of Marlo’s class, and no joke, […]
We all have some big dream, something that we want, whether we tell anyone or not. It could be to get a promotion, to find love, to get pregnant, to start a business, to lose weight, to run a marathon, to learn to love your body… it could be anything. We usually start out our […]
This week on the podcast we’re joined by Financial Behaviourist, Jacquette M. Timmons. I was first introduced to Jacquette by Stephanie Pollock, the very first guest on the Girl Tries Life podcast. In doing my research, I came across Jacquette’s signature exercise: the Financial Wheel exercise. I highly recommend you try it out! It definitely opened my […]
