The truth is relationships can really suffer. I will be interviewing expert guests who are doing things right so we can all learn to mix business with pleasure. Topics will range from building better relationships, connection, dating, and ...

In this episode I discuss how striving to maintain balance between your work and personal life at any given time is essentially impossible. Instead, you need to see these two entities as being in a constant flux, and you need to respect that our world is constantly changing. There will be times where you are required more in one area of your life t…

Not every conversation advocates for problem-solving or open displays of vulnerability. The only conversations that advocate for these behaviors are those in which change needs to happen. It is typical that in business, we have a problem-solving conversation—not one that calls for a lot of emotion or vulnerability. Why is that? Because we are focus…

As a relationship therapist and coach, the topic of sex and the disagreements surrounding sex are not uncommonin my office. Mostly, the disagreement communicated to me is due to the lack of frequency from those who identify themselves as male in gender. As my guest, Elizabeth McGrath, a sex and relationship therapist and sexuality educator located …

In this solo episode, I discuss how the most successful business owners, executives and team players listen more than they speak. These folks do not have the need to be the centre of attention.

Yes, I decide to close up this Podcast! In this final episode, I explain why. The health and wellness space is flooded with fear-inducing health claims, often implying that you need to invest in various products to improve your well-being. It’s making us stressed and may even be causing orthorexia for some. Very few people are telling you what you …

In today’s solo episode, I explained how maintaining a personal vision is imperative to ridding oneself of guilt, staying true to one's values, and likely circumventing a possible identity crisis down the road.

If you do not think you are interested in selling or have no need to ‘sell,’ think again. We all sell something daily.

Once you understand tha…

I discovered Kim’s Podcast, The Wall Street Coach, after doing some of my work around money and money mindset.

Until we realize how disabusing this narrativ…

Is it true that the formula to lose weight is less calories and more exercise? Do women have a more difficult time to lose weight than men? Does stress play a large role in weight loss? In general, do you feel our health is more compromised in North America than in Europe? Is prioritizing protein over any other macronutrient as crucial as we often …

The ugly concoction of guilt, shame and self-loathing is most often the underlying reason why you are struggling and in need of therapy. Ridding shame is not easy, but when you begin to love yourself more by honouring your core needs, it becomes easier. In this episode, I present three clients I have seen in therapy: Client one lost her job because…

I love interviewing women who can be described as ‘ a piece of work’, and Lynne Bowman is that woman. She is really a masterpiece. Now in her late 70s, I can tell that she has truly embraced life.

In this episode, I discuss how living ‘The European Lifestyle’, or TEL, is the easiest approach to regain physical and emotional health. Why? Because, in general, Europeans are not so ‘rushed’ and, in doing so, become mindless. When mindlessness meets stress, the brain secretes stress hormone messages to the body, which spikes insulin. When insulin…

Last spring, I hired a photographer for a photo shoot while vacationing in Europe. We became friends because of her welcoming and friendly nature.

My hope in doing so is that you ca…

I loved hearing my client reiterate her past five years of working with me and working on herself. Anne (not her real name) noticed how she often made excuses about why she felt stuck and what she was doing was lying to herself. Change is never easy and always exciting.

Today, I share my views on how I am choosing to live life. I describe why prediction is an illusion and because we constantly try to predict ‘what the right answer is’ whenever we struggle to make a choice, we are wasting many precious moments. The truth is that there are many possibilities of what may happen, and stagnancy rooted in fear is the on…

Nowadays, everyone is looking for tips, tricks, tools, and workarounds to combat their ‘perceived’ weaknesses. That weakness could manifest in the form of psychosocial pain, physical pain, or emotional pain. The truth is, no one sees the world as you do; similarly, no one sees you as you do. So, what are we really comparing our pain to? We can only…

I love this episode for its turns and twists and how it unfolds. A past client, dubbed ‘Jay’, graciously offered to be interviewed so that he could describe his experience of moving through the betrayal by his partner.

I woke up one morning feeling happy, content, fulfilled, and at peace. This happens a lot. Not every day is a great day, but most days are. Why? Because I am nurturing my mind, body, and relationships every day. I try to practice a lot of self-awareness or mindfulness and learn what helps and hinders me. I change my thoughts, what some might call r…

I just had to get Elizabeth back on the show to bust more myths about weight gain, especially concerning aging. It all comes down to people making excuses or in other words, choosing REASONS over RESULTS. We can tell many stories about why you feel your body is different. You have unique tastes, preferences, and variances in DNA, but ultimately, th…

In today’s solo episode, I do a fun take on all the things we should do if we want to sink the relation-SHIP. The best way to solve any disaster is prevention. Just like in health, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure; it is no different in relationships. In business, it is called reverse engineering. In medicine, it is called functional…

Conflict is inevitable in any relationship. In fact, if you don’t have conflict, I would question the integrity of the relationship. Conflict means passion and a zest for life.

Choosing your partner for life? Hello!! It can be arguably the most important decision of your lifetime. Who will be my lifelong partner? How do I know that for certain?

Today, I discuss what to do when you feel triggered in relationships. As children, we learn through patterning thoughts, leading to patterned outcomes. This makes us feel very comfortable because patterning leads to certainty. One plus one equals two. We know what to expect, so it removes any discomfort. As kids, we were also told to stop crying an…

I began my dark night of the soul over 1.5 years ago when I decided to give meditation a real go. I started listening to guided meditations and then sat contemplating each morning. My morning spiritual practice has varied, but it all comes back to deep reflection and going deeper within me. I now help my clients do the same because of the tremendou…

Despite everyone from Oprah, your Gramma, and your daughter’s kindergarten teacher claiming how we need to love ourselves more, it is very apparent in my practice that we as a society have a lot of work to do around this topic. Many still beat themselves up because they feel terrible for doing the wrong thing. The bottom line is that nothing will c…

If there is one thing that has really made a difference in many people’s lives, it is me telling them that ‘You get to be you’. So many of my clients struggle with shame and guilt because they feel that they are not doing enough or being enough. Whether it is in how you run your business, your personal relationships, and even in your parenting styl…

Originally this was a live done on Facebook, but I felt it needed to become an episode so that everyone may feel less stressed in a world that often feels overwhelming – especially regarding personal development.
