Just Fucking Relax.
Its been a little while since I wrote a blog post, it’s something I love to do but for many reasons, its hard to break past my limiting beliefs around being worthy of a hobby and giving myself the time and space to show up for it. A few days ago I had the pleasure of going to see Elizabeth Gilbert (writer of the famous book & feature film “Eat, Pray, Love”) live. It wasn’t short of a loving kick…

Is North American Mother’s Day Going Out of Style?
This thought has been on my mind for years. I didn’t feel I had the ‘right’ to voice my opinion since I, myself was not a mother. Yet here I am now, a mother to a beautiful, hilarious, spunky, outgoing little guy. With this day inching closer and closer and I can’t help but notice that this feeling is still there. Before I became a mama, this day brought on a lot of stress. My relationship with my mother has…

2020 the year I’m asking: Are we willingly being guided off the cliff?
An ex always used to make this comment about how he felt people acted like sheep and just followed the herd, so to speak. We all do the same things, talk about the same things, take the same paths in life etc. I heard what he said but could never understand fully what he meant and therefore always disagreed. On the surface, materialisticly we looked so different. Over the course of the past year I have learned a lot. One…

Zoo’s
So, we binged Tiger King on @netflix the other night… Its one of the the most mind boggling series I’ve ever watched. Tiger King is an docuseries about the 3 largest big cat keepers in the US. It dives into the lifestyle of these cat keepers, their love life’s, business relationships and relationships with their big cats. The series follows the story of Joe Exotic the self proclaimed Tiger King and his hate for a woman…

We’re not all in the same boat, but we’re all weathering the same storm
The times are uncertain. It’s terrifying for everyone. The aura is uncomfortable and eerie. But, this is the first time every single person not only across Canada 🇨🇦 or even North America has faced the same problem. We’re facing the same fear, the same uncertainty and the same eerie feeling. There’s a beauty in that though. That through tough times we can have empathy for all. Today…

#nojudgement
I’m ready for a #nojudgmentmovement. We are all fighting for the causes that are important to us yet judge others for having different priorities or fighting for a different fight. I’m not sure what sparked this in me; but I’ve really come to realize just how many people are sitting back looking down on others. I first really noticed this when I was pregnant. For the most part, people know to not comment on what…

International Womens Day
Happy international women’s day! You might be thinking it’s odd I’m sharing a photo of me and my son. Or maybe not because you know how obsessed I am with those cheeks 🤷🏼♀️ This was intentional though. The fight for women is still an important one, more than ever right now. Respect & equality — of all kinds for every being, starts in the home. It’s my duty as a mom and parent to teach my son these values. Remember that…

6 months PP Update
Oh, here I am again giving you another update on my health. I feel so silly typing these posts out thinking 𝘸𝘩𝘰 𝘤𝘢𝘳𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘢𝘣𝘰𝘶𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘩𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘵𝘩 𝘢𝘯𝘺𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴? But surprisingly I hear often from friends, family and online friends I’ve never met before how much they appreciate that I have been sharing my journey. THANK YOU!

This is what makes me, me -not you or them
I am honestly getting so tired of the general population and everything that entails (business, governments, communities etc) telling everyone that if they do what works for them it will surely guarantee the same results for others. It’s a guarantee that know one can ever make so why do we all always fall for it? And we all do fall for it, one way or another. Can you tell I’m a tad triggered?? …

A shameful pregnancy
When I look back to my pregnancy journey I’m disappointed. I’m disappointed in myself that I didn’t embrace the changes my body went through. I’m disappointed I didn’t document my progress. I’m disappointed I literally didn’t take any photos – it’s like an entire year doesn’t exist when you look at my photo album. But most of all I’m disappointed with how medical professionals talk to women. This was 100% a major contributing…
