Life seemed so clear back in the 1800's for men and women. The men protected and provided. The women nurtured and connected. Roles were defined, even if they weren’t exactly fair. So today, we’re asking: Do we actually need to go back to traditional roles to make relationships — and life — work again? Join me for this conversation as we explore the ENERGY of balance and harmony in partnerships. Support the show Thanks for listening and feel free to follow us on different social media pl...

It’s October — the season of thinning veils, when the air itself feels electric. The days shorten, the nights deepen, and if you’re paying attention, there’s a certain shimmer in the ordinary. It’s also the time when witches show up everywhere — in costumes, in old movies, in the collective imagination. Historically, witches were mostly women—who were healers, herbalists, midwives, and wisdom keepers in their communities. They knew plants, weather, fertility cycles, and natural r...

I’ve come to believe in what I call destiny points — those moments written in our soul’s record, the Akashic Records, where we’re meant to arrive no matter how many detours we take. Sometimes we’re on Path A — the one aligned with our higher plan, guided by the universe and our ancestors. And sometimes, we wander onto Path B — the human path, full of fear, ego, and the illusion of control. When we’re paying attention to the signs and synchronicities laid out for us by the universe, patt...

Today, we’re leaning into the energy of fall through the lens of Traditional Chinese Medicine —and exploring how this season touches our emotions, our bodies, and our hearts. We’ll also meet three gentle plant allies—rose, chamomile, and lavender—that can help us navigate grief and sadness with softness and support. So wherever you are, settle in—whether you’re walking, driving, or cozy with a cup of tea—and let’s explore the wisdom of fall. Support the show Thanks for listening and feel free...

Rebecca Goulet, someone who knows this story from the inside out of being unhoused and addicted. Her life has included experiences many of us can barely imagine: addiction to alcohol and street drugs, living in shelters and on the street, losing custody of her children, living through physical and sexual abuse, serving time in jail, and navigating ADHD and a neurological condition that has left her with a permanent disability. But this is not where her story ends. Rebecca has taken her ...

Substance use (in this episode we are referencing drugs) isn’t some distant issue — it’s often our neighbour, our family member, or our friend. The very first step in helping someone find support is breaking down the walls of stigma. When we reduce judgment and shame, we create space for compassion, understanding, and real solutions. This episode explores how shifting our mindset can open the door to healing, connection, and the resources people need to find their way forward. Joining u...

When I speak about shame today, I hold both my personal journey, and the collective journeys of those who have been told for generations that they don’t measure up or don’t belong. And I’m doing this work of healing my own shame not only for myself, but for my daughters, my niece and nephew, and the grandchildren who aren’t here yet. And I also do it for my ancestors, because I believe the women who came before me would want me to break the cycle, to live free of the shame they never had the ...

Arlene Dickson, the business entrepreneur from Dragon's Den, posted about how, as we get older, we start living smaller lives without even noticing. The same coffee order. The same safe conversations. The same routines. When did predictability start passing as something always worth striving for? Today we discuss Anaïs Nin's quote: “Life shrinks or grows in proportion to one’s courage.” Support the show Thanks for listening and feel free to follow us on different social media platforms ...

Thank you for supporting Women on the Brink and celebrating our 1st Anniversary! I hope these episodes provided a chance for you to pause, take a breath, and remember that we’re not alone when we find ourselves standing at the edge, staring into the unknown. And I’ve learned that when we lean into community, trust the universe a little more, and stretch our comfort zones, that’s when the real magic shows up. I'm also going to share what my inspiration for the podcast was and how its transform...

Have you ever wondered why we are here? Why you, in this body, at this exact time, are moving through the life you’ve been given? It’s one of the oldest questions — and one that can feel overwhelming when life throws pain or uncertainty our way.

Today we’re diving into something deeply personal, and honestly, pretty misunderstood: body fat. So many of us have internalized the belief that fat is something evil or shameful — something we need to get rid of or be at war with. But what if there’s more to it than that? Join us for a unique perspective on why we hold body fat.

Maybe you've been called an old soul your whole life. Or maybe you’ve met people who seem so light and fresh and unburdened that you wonder if they’re just getting started. Either way, it raises the question: What are we really carrying with us into this lifetime?” In this episode we explore the subtle (and not so subtle) differences between an old soul and a new soul and how to navigate relationships, careers and even travel plans based on your Soul Age.

Today we’re talking about one of those emotions that can feel heavy enough to anchor you to the past: regret. That endless loop of ‘What if I had chosen differently? What if I hadn’t said that? What if I’d been braver? We discuss the most common regrets women have, why they're so important to release, and a few tools to overcome the weight of regret.

Welcome back to Women on the Brink. Today we’re diving into one of my favorite little parables — but we’re giving it a woman’s twist. It’s about work, ambition, and the invisible pressure to always be doing more… and what happens when you stop to ask yourself: More for what?

We’ve all heard about the classic stress responses: fight, flight, or freeze. These are the instinctual ways our nervous system reacts to a perceived threat — either by confronting it, running from it, or shutting down entirely. But there’s a fourth response that gets a lot less attention — and that’s fawning. In this episode we discuss how fawning comes to be and ways we can overcome it.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, summer is ruled by the heart, by fire, and by yang — that dynamic, outward, expressive force. It’s the time of year when nature is fully alive, blooming, buzzing, showing off in all her glory. And it’s an invitation for us to do the same — in our own way. So today I want to offer some thoughts on how women can move with the energy of summer without burning out, shutting down, or feeling overwhelmed. Because let’s be honest: summer can be a lot. The pressure to...

This is one on one time where we can focus on managing stress or un...
