In this episode, I talk about the experience of my children returning to school during the Coronavirus(COVID-19) Pandemic in Canada. This is such a tough time and no decision feels like the right decision. I provide some of the ways that we prepared the kids for returning to school during this time.
I talked about the decision to undertake virtual versus in-person learning in Episode 28: Back to School?

In this week's podcast, I talk about the health, wellness and fitness industry's obsession with before and after photos.
After scrolling through my IG feed and seeing one too many before and after photos, captioned with "look how horrible I used to look?", I am calling it what it is - "fat-shaming". Transformation Tuesday photos celebrate our "new self", but at the cost of saying that our "old self" was lacking, unworthy, stupid, lazy, unmotivated etc.
I am tired of the negative narrative around health and fitness. It denotes that our "old self" was "bad" somehow, just because we didn't have the motivation or knowledge that our "new self" has. Maybe we were struggling with anxiety or depression, maybe we didn't have a great health coach or family support, maybe we couldn't afford healthy foods, maybe our hormones were out of whack. There can be a million reasons why someone is struggling with "weight"!
I think we should move to celebrating where we are at in our health journey and finding positive forms of motivation (like wanting to reduce inflammation, increase mobility and strength etc.). The focus on putting our "old self" down is not body positive, it is fat-shaming.
In this episode, I give a few tips about how I am reaching to be more body positive.

I recently took training in giving meditations at the Peace Room (IG @thepeaceroom) and put it to work on this 15-minute Judgement Meditation.
Enjoy the break and take time to rest, rejuvenate and set new intentions!

I am always trying to keep myself motivated. Having a young daughter also makes me very conscious of the messages that she is receiving about being a girl and eventually a women. I want her to feel strong, empowered, and have the ability to be exactly who she wants to be. This makes me try even harder to make sure that I am consuming strong and inspirational women that have a value set and ethics that align with my own. I feel the responsibility to be a good role model for her, and having good role models for myself helps me.
I thought it would be fun to share a current, but not forever, top 5 list list of inspirational women. My current top 5 are:
1) Michelle Obama;
2) Glennon Doyle (more on Episode 25);
3) Rachel Hollis (more on Episode 8);
4) Jen Hatmaker;
5) Elizabeth Gilbert (more on Episode 16).

In this episode of the podcast, I explore what I got up to on my staycation this summer. There is definitely a challenge this year with wanting to fulfill our vacation dreams, wanting to stay safe from COVID 19 and then also keeping up with others! This year, I made a list of all of the things that we could possibly do on our time off and then also learned a few lessons about myself, like the importance of continuing a vacation mindset when work resumes.

In this episode of the podcast, I explore the new book 'Untamed' by Glennon Doyle. Glennon (I think we are on a first name basis) is an author, activist, blogger (https://momastery.com/blog/), mom, wife, well, so many things.
In this book, she touches on so many issues that need to be talked about including marriage, LGBTQ+ perspectives, religion, Black Lives Matters, parenthood, divorce, our programming, raising girls, raising boys, anxiety, grief, habits - basically all of the things that many of us are thinking about and caring about but are often afraid to talk about.
I hope you enjoy my perspective on the book and that you decide to read it!

I love personality tests because they can help us understand ourselves and our loved ones. If you remember in Episode 10, I talked about the Four Tendencies. In this episode, I talk all about another personality test called the Enneagram.
The Enneagram includes 9 personality types, and provides insights into how what happens to your personality in strength and stress.
I provide a number of Enneagram resources like Podcasts (For the Love of the Ennegram - Jen Hatmaker), Books (The Road Back to You by Cron and Stabile) and Websites (yourenneagramcoach.com). I would love feedback if you find the Enneagram useful!
