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 […]
This week on the podcast we’re joined by boss babe, community creator and woman empowering women, Mandy Balak. If you’re from Calgary (and beyond) and don’t know her by name, you might recognize the businesses It’s Date Night and The Ace Class, both founded by Balak. When I first saw Mandy speak at a Babes […]
You know a word that I’ve never resonated with? Manifesting. 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, […]
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 […]

This week on the podcast I’m so pleased to be joined by local teacher, world traveler and incredible mom, Jody Danchuk. Way back when my husband and I backpacked Southeast Asia in 2014, I vividly remember this Australian family that we kept running into as we travelled throughout Vietnam (most travellers go a similar route). […]
A main tenant of preparing yourself for big change is all about clearing the clutter. What can you clear from your life physically, emotionally, from your calendar, or from your mind, in order to create the necessary space for change? I liken it to needing to get rid of ratty old couch before you can […]
This is not the post that I intended to write this week. I had all kinds of other ideas to line up with the 121 Day Challenge, but I and many women and people around North America (and the world) have been very affected by the news and politics. Fear not, this is not a […]
Have you ever been in the groove with a project? I don’t mean a one-time groove, like an afternoon of flow state, but I mean showing up on a regular basis and making serious progress towards your goal? If you have, you know that there is no feeling like it. You’re on fire, you’re advancing, […]
