Passionate On Purpose - Heart Talks With Sha

Send us Fan Mail What would you say if you could sit across from the younger version of yourself? In this deeply personal Heart Talk, I read a letter to little Sha—but somewhere along the way, it became a conversation with every version of me that was still healing. The young mother, the woman learning to love herself, and the person who was doing her best while carrying wounds she didn’t yet unde...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes life gives us clarity in the strangest ways.   For me, it was while I was renaming all my podcasts. I thought I was just making them sound better or making it look more organized.  But what actually happened was...I started reading every single episode I ever recorded. One after another.  And for the first time, I wasn't looking at each episode individually.  I was...

Send us Fan Mail For years, my weight—and how I thought I looked—wasn’t just a number. It was the headline of my life. It influenced my mood, my confidence, my decisions, and even my sense of worth. I know what it’s like to live with food noise. For me, it wasn’t overeating—it was starving myself. I know body dysmorphia, the need for control, and the constant mental negotiation around food. It’s e...

Send us Fan Mail I am just a epilepsy mama riding the waves of this challenging, yet beautiful life.   Things I have learnt: Watching a seizure doesn't get easier.  Navigating the systems doesn't get easier.  Asking for help can pay off.  Even small wins can feel big. It's ok to feel overwhelm, it doesn't mean failure.  Finding a show like #BaylenOutLoud came at the perfect tim...

Send us Fan Mail This week, during my cancer follow-up, I was reminded of the reason I started podcasting in the first place. It was said in a new way that I hadn’t heard before, but it truly resonated with me. “Make your mess your message.” Yes, I often speak about this. The universe is always speaking to us, and my message is often to use my story and my daughters’ story to spread awareness. Som...

Send us Fan Mail Will I ever be back to a podcast recording weekly, or starting a podcast without saying "it has ben so long" ? - I wonder this as I record yet another podcast after waiting too long.. January was super intentional. Daily movement and new calendar full of all the things I did.  February was sickness, tiredness, a new medication and a gap on the calendar.  We didn't h...

Send us Fan Mail It has been a hot minute since I have been here. I actually recorded a podcast during the holidays that got ERASED when I tried to edit a part.  It's very rare that I edit or omit anything I say.  I actually just roll with whatever comes to me, but that podcast there was one slight thing I decided not to say.  Somehow, the whole thing vanished.  I guess it wasn't meant t...

Send us Fan Mail Remember the saying....Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.....  I remember using this to stick up to kids that were mean.  Reality is, words do hurt.  An un-healed version of me just got that reality check.   I'm a queen at hiding the hard away in little boxes.  Only pulling it out when I fully feel I'm ready to feel.   Big lesson: When to...

Send us Fan Mail You guys, we can pile up all of our problems until the pile is just so impossible that we crash.  What if you worked on resetting everyday?  Would the problems go away? No.  But do some stay back there?  Yes!  So if we reset every day and start new, there definitely will be some problems that don't make the cut.  They don't make the list.  They don't deserve any mor...

Send us Fan Mail What if trauma catapults you to the next timeline? What if there truly is a reason for everything? What if you can find blessings in your hard? Sometimes we can get stuck in a certain life or timeline and can't push through our hard (even while using all the tools and therapy) but sometimes an even bigger storm comes and pushes us to a new level. Cancer is awakening me to a n...

Send us Fan Mail This may be the thing that finally got me.  After a year of thing after thing, this one will take me a bit to come back from.  It hits so different when you can't un-see a trauma.   In this emotional episode - I talk through what happened, our mixed feelings on how to deal, being fake through trauma as a protection, gratitude for what we do have and are, learning to live norm...

Send us Fan Mail Just when you think you handled it all so well and have it figured out....then tears come out of nowhere, quickly reminding you that you're human.   How many times are we going to live an experience, just slightly different each time, until we heal fully?  Will we ever be fully healed?  Is that just part of this human experience? In this episode I revisit the recent months, t...

Send us Fan Mail Thank you again for being here.  The outpour of love through this cancer journey,  has been a little light in the dimmer times.  Surgery was successful.  We are living cancer free with a side of wait and see, a side of err on caution, a side of optimism, and a side of confusion with positivity. It's a trip.  That's the best way I can say it.   This episode, we cover so m...

Send us Fan Mail There is no manual on how to do life after you hear the word CANCER...  My episode prior to this one,  was very vulnerable as I discussed that phone call that changed the trajectory of life.  My intuition told me to just rip the bandaid off and share, and your outpour of love knew it was all for a reason.  It was a healing part of my journey, and I'm so grateful for the space...

Send us Fan Mail I thank you in advance for giving me the space to share this very VULNERABLE episode.  To be honest, I thought about just closing shop for awhile and hiding out....I then remembered who's watching ( my two beautiful girls ) and I knew it was easier to just rip the bandaid off.   I have learned over the years to heal through vulnerability, and this is the exact moment I needed...

Send us Fan Mail When life seems to be kicking you from every angle, it's easy to lose yourself a little.  It's also easy to push aside all the things that make you feel good.  In this season we're in, I find myself saying I will start after this passes.   I will start Monday.  I will start next week.  I will start next month.   I'm sure this sounds familiar to some... Next thi...

Send us Fan Mail Guys!!!  I’m stuck between sharing our journey and keeping it on the down low. I mean, part of me wants to just hide it all away. The other part of me knows every story told is a story that needs to be heard by someone.  I don’t wish the medical system and all the errors, time wasted, things forgotten…on anyone.  It can be roadblock after roadblock. Should it be so hard?! No!!! Ar...

Send us Fan Mail Oooof!  I think this is my first time speaking a little deeper on illness, navigating the health and school system, emotions, anxieties, sadness, depression and why I choose light.  It has been a journey full of many ups and downs and it's been a lifetime of building strength and resilience.  It definitely has me in my feels.   Please take a listen as a mama, daughter, father...

Send us Fan Mail Why are you so positive all the time?  "I feel like you must not have much hard in your life" .... My positivity isn't from lack of hard, my positivity comes from a few places.  I discuss in detail the highs and lows, pivots, learning, people pleasing, coping mechanisms and hitting bottom.   I have been on the positive, people pleasing side from a younger age. Howev...

Send us Fan Mail In this episode I talk about my journey of love/self love.  How we started, where we got a little lost ( life and busy ) and where we are now.  Oh and my instant VISCERAL reaction to Valentines Day this year. Ewwwww, I don't want to go out on Valentines Day.  Valentines Day is dumb. Valentines Day is for suckers.  Woah, when did that story come in to play? What version of you...

Send us Fan Mail I recently changed my podcast cover to read:  Intuitive messages from the heart.   I often get little downloads for different ideas,  and this is one that came to my mind while I slept.  I talked about another idea that recently came to me in my sleep.  So far just the title, design and a couple notes.  I know when this happens, just to go along with it and get it all to paper.  T...

Send us Fan Mail Sometimes I get a thought and I know I must just go hit record.  I don't always know how the podcast will go and what exactly I will talk about. What if people weren't against you but rather coming from a place off that they know?  We are all raised in a different environment and have different life experiences.  The ones that raise us, come from their own experiences.  ...

Send us Fan Mail Where did that hair come from?!  Who has time to actually do all of this maintenance? An 'everything shower' what? Work, second job, family, pets, journaling, workouts, reading, cleaning, walks, hang outs, organization, eating, cooking, prepping, showering, hair removal, healing...the list goes on AND we haven't even talked about FUN and nourishing all of our relati...

Im screaming to myself to say: NO to the lists NO to the new gadget NO to the new drink powder NO to the new workout NO to the new shake NO to the new diet food NO to lists NO to the new key words - Fasting, cortisol, girl boss... NO NO NO - I don't subscribe anymore. What if we actually just slowed down and honoured this hi...
