Episode 3 | Taking the Leap: Embracing Imperfection and Starting Before You're Ready
In this episode of Life as Ceremony, I am sharing publicly—for the first time ever—the true origin story of my bootcamp business I had in Winnipeg. At 20 years old, I unintentionally started a wildly successful business overnight. After 10 years, I’m excited to finally share the origin story of how it all went down. In this episode, I talk about the importance of “writing your first draft” because it’s the only way you’ll get to draft 17. I also talk about how I’m not ready to start this podcast, but I am doing it anyway! I hope it empowers you to get started on whatever it is you want to accomplish in 2025.Watch the video version here: https://youtu.be/g31Xz6Sk4-QLet’s connect!

Episode 1 | Life as Ceremony: Living with Presence and Connection
This episode explores the transformative concept of "Life as Ceremony" and what it means to approach everyday moments with presence, gratitude, and respect. I discuss the true essence of spirituality, the power of ceremony as a bridge between the physical and the spiritual, and how living this way can help us feel more present and connected. I also discuss my personal journey of stepping away from the title of clinical counselor to embrace a more authentic path of mentorship and guidance.Enjoy!
