YES, WOMAN (formerly PurposeGirl): Real conversations for women ready for MORE - More aliveness, more purpose, more pleasure, more power to create the life you want.

Emiliya is my personal role model in business, a woman truly living on purpose and making her decisions from her heart. She's a very successful and accomplished entrepreneur, and she comes from a background with a real set of challenges that she needed to overcome, making her success even more impressive. Emiliya shares her personal and business journey that led to where she is now, leading a B-Co...

We all have a dark side, we all feel dark, heavy emotions like anger and grief, and as women we've been told to keep a lid on our darkness. Nice girls don't curse. Nice girls smile a lot. We shouldn't "get emotional." But that's all nonsense. The darkness is a part of who we are; we can't have the light without the darkness. And if we try to suppress these difficult feelings, if we try to stuff th...

We cannot live our purpose, our best lives, if we are not also focused on our own pleasure. Today we're talking about your fun, your pleasure, so you can be the happiest you have ever been. We all have such busy lives, and far too many of us don't make our own enjoyment of life a priority. I've certainly been guilty of this. I get so busy with work and family and all sorts of obligations that I ca...

Living a life guided by purpose depends on self-love. Being kind and gentle and compassionate with ourselves is so important, and yet, it's so difficult. Self-love is a practice, and it's something we need to develop. We often treat others with great love and resist treating ourselves the same way, but it's critical that we do this as part of our self-care. In today's episode I interview Stacey Ho...

Lots of us have dreams that we'd love to realize, goals we'd love to achieve, but taking action on them is often so daunting that we never actually get started. Sound familiar? If so, then you're going to love this episode, in which I interview Miisa Mink, Founder and Chief Doer at the Driven Woman Network. Driven Woman is a micro-networking group where women keep each other accountable and suppor...

We all have dreams. Sometimes, though, we tell ourselves that our dreams are ridiculous or frivolous or just too far-fetched to bother trying to make happen. I've certainly done this myself with a number of dreams in my life, and when I've suppressed and ignored my dreams I've just made myself miserable, sometimes without even understanding where my unhappiness was coming from. But I'm committed t...

I am joined by my dear friend, Louisa Jewell, expert on self-doubt and self-confidence, author, professor, speaker, and founder of the Canadian Positive Psychology Association. Louisa starts out by explaining why some self-doubt can actually be a good thing. Chronic self-doubt, self-doubt when there really is no justification for it, when it's holding you back, this is when something needs to be d...

Every single one of us was born for purpose. Research shows that when we're younger, our search for purpose can be an exciting adventure, but after a certain age this same search can lead to an increased incidence of anxiety and depression, and even suicidal tendencies. More and more, people are seeking lives full of meaning, lives in which they're making a difference, and for a growing number of...

There's an epidemic of unhappiness among women, many of whom seem like they've got everything going for them but are still deeply unhappy. Whether you're dealing with a mid-life, third-life, or quarter-life crisis (yes, those are real!), women at all ages are struggling to figure out how to be happier. We're less happy, on average, than our counterparts thirty years ago. We have more than we've ev...

With this podcast I'll be building a community of women who want to get control of their own happiness and live life on their own terms. We'll be getting real about our own lives; no BS allowed here. This is for women who have been feeling stuck and lost, overwhelmed by life, and are TIRED of it! I discuss my own journey to understanding happiness. Even though I have a degree from the University o...
