The very first skills lab where I was coached by a fellow student, one of the go-to questions we always ask is “what would having that do for you?” It’s usually in response to a discussion about a goal you have, a want, a desire that you’re trying to fulfill. What would having that do […]
Happy 2018! Now, some of you might be saying, Victoria, you should have an interview up on the podcast today. While normally I’d say, you are correct, today I’m saying, I have changed it up a bit. I’ve decided that for 2018, I’m alternating weeks of the podcast between interviews one week and every other […]
What do a hammam, volunteers delivering end of day food to shelters and an urban planning consultancy all have in common? Lourdes Juan. That’s right, this one woman is either the owner or founder of each of these organizations. Named one of Calgary’s Top 40 Under 40, I had to get Lourdes onto the podcast. […]
Two days left, guys. Today, I encourage you to step into your discomfort, to leap before you’re ready, and to realize that ‘ready’ isn’t actually a thing. Today is really a pep talk. It’s me and you.

Happy New Year one and all! I hope you had a fabulous holiday season full of love and laughter. And now… the new year begins. I’m throwing out the word resolution. I’ve had so many unresolved resolutions over the years that the word has a bitter connotation for me. This year I decided that instead […]
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 […]
Happy New Year! 2016, hey? I have to say, I am pretty excited to ring in a new year. 2015 had its moments, but it was bookended positively: it started with the birth of my gorgeous niece and ended with the birth of our first baby. I started thinking back in early December about what my 2016 […]
