How many of us have set awesome goals for ourselves only to hit a road bump? We get on a fitness roll and then we throw our back out or get sick. We are writing every day and then work gets overwhelming. We’re on string of good days not raising our voices around our kids… […]
Today on the podcast we have a super special guest – my sister-in-law, Lyndsey Farmer. Lyndsey is a childcare professional who specializes in the 3-5 age group, and has worked with kids of all ages in previous roles. I wanted to bring Lyndsey on specifically for the parents, because this is a super challenging time […]
One of the most important concepts I’ve learned for both myself and for my kids is about self-regulation. Never heard of self-regulation before? It’s okay, neither had I until last year. It’s the ability to have some control or influence over your emotions. When you’re not in control, that’s called dysregulation. We see dysregulated kids […]
I’ve wanted to interview Jessica Janzen for quite some time, but I’ll admit, I was a bit intimidated. Not because Jess isn’t the most welcoming human being you’ve ever met – she is – but because this is a woman on a mission.

She’s relatable, gets vulnerable and she has a story to tell. Following on my own journey with learning to love my body, Amy shares her own. […]
Today on the podcast we’re joined by Chantel Cabaj, the founder of DirectHer Network, a not-for-profit dedicated to empowering Albertan women with the tools and supports necessary to serve on boards. The reason this organization came to be is a fascinating one, and I don’t want to spoil it so you’ll have to listen! Chantel […]
You guys, I’m a little behind on the podcast for which I can only apologize. February has been a busy and truly rewarding month as I’ve travelled across Alberta speaking with teachers about stress reduction strategies. It has also meant that I could interview folks who are outside of Calgary… in person! One such person […]
