Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro is not for the faint of heart – as Christa Singleton proves, it’s for the fearless. I think I was scrolling through @womenwhohike on Instagram one day when they featured a group of plus size women who were training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro. They called themselves the Curvy Kili Crew. I started […]
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). […]
Back in 2017, I participated in an event called PechaKucha (pronounced peh-chuh-ka-chuh). For those who don’t know what that is (I certainly did not), these events are held around the world, a central theme is chosen, and speakers are allowed to share 20 slides with 20 seconds each. The theme for ours was Open Season […]
Today on the podcast we’re joined by Calgary-based artist, Melissa McKinnon. I have been a huge fan of Melissa’s work for years, so the opportunity to meet her in person, to snoop around her studio and to actually touch a painting (she invited me to, guys!) made my ever-loving day. In this interview, Melissa and […]

She goes by the name Pretty Little Grub on both her blog and her Instagram, which is where I first heard of her. Here was this fellow Calgarian about to embark on a year of epic travel adventures with her […]

I’ve been reading a fascinating book lately. It’s called The Upside To Your Dark Side: Why Being Your Whole Self – Not Just Your Good Self – Drives Success and Fulfillment. No, I’m not talking Darth Vader dark side here, but the book really tackles this idea that we have in western society about fake […]
The tiny home movement is taking the world by storm… at least it’s taking Pinterest and other social media by storm. People are fascinated by the idea of selling everything and putting your life into 400 square feet – myself included. So… when I came across the blog Tiny House, Giant Journey, I knew I wanted […]
Today on the podcast we’re joined by my good friend, Anita Hofer. Anita shares her career journey, her current role in communications and what it means to her, the struggles of modern day parenting and the lessons that she’s focused on teaching her girls. We also talk about her 40th birthday adventure on the Camino […]
Take it from me, I was dreading my first major travel experience with my son. At four months, we took him to Scotland to see his extended family. You can read more about those adventures here, here and here, but it actually ended up being a magical trip for us. Despite him having colic and […]
