Hustle culture is real.  I feel it!  There's so much pressure on us to do all the things. Do it now. Have the big to-do list and CRUSH it, day in and day out. If you're ambitious, you can probably relate to this. Not only does our culture teach us to work soo dang hard, but it also validates us for working hard. Today's guest is someone who takes a lot of action - and helps others do the same.  Em...

I've heard it countless times: "I really want to try a cold plunge, but where do I even begin?" I get you. The struggle is real.  "How long should I endure the icy water?" "Where is the best place to take the plunge?" "How often should I commit myself to this chilly adventure?"  It's a whirlwind of uncertainties, a maze of HOWs. One of my favourite tips for anyone interested in cold plunging, espe...

Last year, around this time, when things in Canada started to re-open, I found myself looking around at what other people were wearing, and felt like a FISH out of water. It turns out somewhere in the last few years, we've gone from bikini bottoms to thong bottoms. And no-one sent me the memo. Sometimes it feels like there's a secret club that knows the trends, and I clearly am not on the email li...

When it comes to business, and frankly, all types of success, our culture seems to be SO focused on doing it fast. Get rich quick. Get 10,000 followers fast, $10k months NOW. Build and scale QUICKLY!!Those are the messages we all get sent multiple times a day, and of course, because of that, it's NO WONDER we often feel like things are happening slowly, or we feel like we should be doing more, or...

Have you ever had brain fog - a blend of confusion, forgetfulness and lack of focus and mental clarity? And now, let's get personal: do you get up to pee in the night - every night?! If that's you, you're not alone. As women, entrepreneurs, professionals (and truthfully ANY human) living in our North American, silo-ed, hustle culture, we're all wearing a LOT of hats. The reality is that so many of...

Look, I don't know about you, but I know YOU and I have been put on this planet to do a lot more than just eat, sleep, work, pay bills, do some laundry, and then die. And yet - when you look around, it seems like most people are doing just that:  going through the motions, doing all the to-do's without truly living with deep satisfaction, reverence or joy.  On some level, I believe most of us can...

If you haven't yet heard about ChatGPT, you might be living under a rock. I say that with no judgement - because usually that's me. I mean, to this day, I've never watched an episode of Keeping up with the Kardashian's and I legit could not pick out any of them out of a crowd except for Kim. But something about this tool, ChatGPT, caught my attention, and it's blown my mind and I have a feeling it...

If you are reading this, chances are you grew up hearing the same recipe for success that I did. The recipe went something like this: Go to school. Get a degree. Maybe a second degree, or masters or Ph. D. Get a stable job with benefits, and a retirement plan. Stay there until age 65, then retire.  BAM! Success would be inevitable. It was great advice a few decades ago. The reality of today is tha...

The social media landscape has changed dramatically over the last few years.  I mean , do you all remember when Instagram was a photo app? I still remember the days of stock photography being enough to grow huge followings. This was before all the filters, reels, changing algorithms, IGTV, and drama, and before we knew what Clubhouse and TikTok were.   As much as I yearn for those days in some way...

Both new and seasoned investors are hitting "Pause" on real estate right now. The reason? Rising interest rates.  In 2022, the Bank of Canada did 7 increases on the interest rate, and on January 25th from the Bank of Canada, the rates were raised yet again, kicking 2023 off with even higher interest rates. As real estate investors, we've noticed it.  If you have a variable rate mortgage, no doubt...

Traditional thinking and traditional real estate investing strategies go something like this: Save up for a down payment. Choose a property. Go get a mortgage for 60-80% of the value of the property. Spend your savings on the down payment. Acquire property.  Then repeat, if you want to grow. That is what you've been taught, right?  Well, here's the problem: saving up money for a down payment plus...

What do you think has been the secret to your success? What advice would you g...

Sometimes at the end of the year, it isn't all champagne, sparklers and celebrations.  It can - and I say this from experience - instead, feel like it's all unfinished tasks, never-ending to-do lists, and goals and progress that seems STUCK. You may f eel deflated, discouraged and overwhelmed with your goals and progress so far. Or maybe lack thereof.  Or perhaps the year just FLEW by – and you're...

From the grocery store, to the supplements we take, the clothes we wear, gas we put in our car, and beyond, inflation is at record highs in many places around the world.
