Today on the podcast we’re joined by all around BADASS, Hannah Cree. I don’t say that lightly – I left my hour long interview with Hannah completely blown away by the work that she does as a social entrepreneur with her business Common Good linens. Not only is it a linen service, but they provide jobs […]
2017. The year that I read more books than I’ve ever read before. Also the year that I’ve been the busiest in terms of work, having a toddler, podcasting, training to be a health/life coach, attempting to keep this blog going (sorry about that!), writing my book, etc. I’ve said it before, I’ll say it […]
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 […]
Long-time followers of the blog might remember a very early post where I interviewed Kate Hilton over Skype to talk about her first book, The Hole in the Middle. I’m slightly freaked out to link to the initial post because I was SUCH a baby blogger, but here you go (not even a photo!). See […]
So… I don’t know if you’ve heard of a woman called Meghann Foye or her book Meternity, but let me give you the Coles notes version of the recent drama. It’s a novel about a woman who decides to fake a pregnancy so that she can take a maternity leave to get a little “me time” […]
Okay folks, this is a totally off the cuff and unplanned post. But… today, Jack and I went to the CBC Calgary Reads Big Book Sale. It’s a huge fundraiser for an early literacy organization that sells previously loved books. Well, we bought books. LOTS of books! We’ve been reading to Jack since day one. […]
I’m not a crazy fast reader. I read probably at the same speed that you would read aloud, which is why I maintain that I go through so few books a year. I admire those who plough through fifty or more books in a year, but I self-recognize… that ain’t me. So, when I think […]
Losing your writing mojo? It happens. Boy, does it ever happen. You’re on a roll, you’re loving what you’re working on, then BAM! Gone. Or, perhaps it’s a slower, more slippery slope where you start second guessing yourself and every word you’ve ever typed on the page. Been there, done that. Perhaps what you need […]
There are few books that I read and feel the need to pull out my highlighter for. Big Magic was most definitely one of them. While I never read Eat Pray Love, I watched, and enjoyed, the movie. I saw the book adorn bestsellers lists for well over a year, her TED Talk shoot to immediate […]
It’s kind of a big deal when you get to meet your professional hero. The proverbial ‘they’ say that you should never meet your heroes, that they often disappoint, but last week when I met Dan Pallotta, there was no disappointment to be had. For those of you who don’t know who he is, Dan is […]
