Working Mom on the Road

When my daughter was born last year, I knew I would struggle with the whole ‘balance’ thing. I was looking for a way to be both the kind of mother I had growing up AND the thriving entrepreneur running her own business. My first challenge came when she was 5 months old and I was invited to […]

Story + Ritual

It’s been a while since I updated my blog, and with good reason! We had a baby girl in January and life has been full on ever since. It has been such a transformational journey to get here, and one thing I’ve learned is the importance of ritual in my daily life. My friend and […]

Home with Jana Lynne White

I had the privilege of speaking with Jana Lynne White on her new program HOME on Roundhouse Radio the other day. Roundhouse Radio is setting a new standard for radio in Vancouver – they are sharing real stories from people of all walks of life and celebrating those stories publicly. This is such an important […]

Power Sources

I first met Robin Bancroft-Wilson of Aatma Crystals through the SVI community in Vancouver and was struck by her genuine spirit. She radiates positive energy, and that must be why she was drawn to crystals. From what I understand, each crystal holds a specific energy, and we are often drawn to a crystal because of it’s energy […]

Power & Beauty

I am honoured to be interviewed for EcoDiva’s Embracing Power & Beauty campaign. I first met Garcy, the co-founder of EcoDiva, in Palm Springs on a Loaded Bow retreat. What has struck me ever since is how much beauty there can be in power when it comes from the heart. Thank you Garcy for epitomizing the […]

What’s Your Tradecraft?

You know those people who talk a big game? They have lots of ideas, many of which hold potential, and yet very few of them actualize. Well, that’s definitely not Katie Jeanes and Aaron Vidas. Katie and Aaron are ‘those’ people – you know, the ones who make things happen. They get an idea, they […]

Walking the Hill

In Irish mythology, there is an ancient tale that when two people fall in love and decide to commit their lives to each other, they meet at sunrise on either side of a hill. They then walk up that hill separately, considering everything that makes them who they are. They think about their hopes and […]

My Loaded Bow

Armed with Community.  Just over a year ago, I was invited to an evening called Loaded Bow. I didn’t know what to expect; all that I was told was that it was an evening for women entrepreneurs, and that I should bring a fellow female entrepreneur along. I brought my dear friend Theodora Lamb and proceeded […]

Story Visioning

Every January, I reflect on all that has passed and I set intentions for the year to come. I’ve moved away from specific goal setting as it can often be rigid and onerous, plus when you run your own business you need to be nimble and I have found that the best way to be […]

The Art of Hosting

It is in the wander that new paths are formed. It is in the wander that old habits are broken. Yet, it is in the pause that we prepare for all that the wander will bring. I love to wander. It is something my partner and I joke about – he likes to have a […]
