I remember the moment I finally hired a marketing agency to help me build my funnel. I was excited (because FINALLY, someone else was going to take something off my plate). I was nervous (because hiring is an investment, and everyone had been telling me to do it for ages). But mostly, I was relieved. This was a multi-million dollar agency. They had years of experience and glowing testimonials. They knew what they were doing… right? Yeah. About that... Pretty early on, I started seeing red...

I pissed off the internets. Last Fall, I did something ‘scandalous’, I asked a service provider about their political leanings. I said I was asking because I am very clear on my values, and it is important to me that my money is in alignment with them. I know not everyone agrees with this, but it is what feels right for me. They said they understood why I was asking, but that they didn't feel comfortable telling me. I said that I completely understood and thanked them. I thought the...

I had moved from a very small town in New Brunswick and had just moved to the big city of Toronto for my major.He was in fourth year of the same program.

Picture The Greatest Showman ...but it's my 10-year-old son... My kiddo used to walk right up to strangers on the sidewalk and say, 'Hi! My name is Sully! What's your favourite hot sauce?!' This is just a prime example of how he was never the shy kid. He makes friends wherever he goes. Easily. But, admittedly, his anxiety has been ramping up over the past year or so and we've noticed a shift in him. He is more hesitant to participate and much more cautious. He expresses how nervous he is and...

Rejection SUCKS Rejection? Not exactly my strong suit.Which is hilarious considering I spent almost 20 years as an actress. 🙃 I’m super sensitive.Every “No” feels personal, like a spotlight shining on all the ways I could’ve been better.Sound familiar? But here’s the big, obvious realization I had last year:Being afraid is keeping me small.I’ve been so scared of rejection that I’ve stayed comfy on the sidelines, resting on my laurels instead of putting myself out there. So, I’m flipping the...
