In this short and insightful episode, I sit down with Dr. Shona Kowtecky to chat about our upcoming speaking engagement for the Vet Alliance in Victoria, BC.

Dr. Shona Kowtecky is a Fear-Free certified veterinarian with experience across the full spectrum of veterinary medicine—from large animal care to small, domesticated companions. After attending one of my sessions last year, we quickly realized how aligned our work is—same values, different species, and complementary approaches to healing and care.

You can find her powerful book, People Are Animals Too, in bookstores everywhere.

In this soul-stirring conversation, I’m joined by the extraordinary Jane Hardwicke Collings—former homebirth midwife, menstrual educator, and founder of the School of Shamanic Womancraft. Jane has devoted her life to guiding women back to their power through the wisdom of the cycles.

Together, we explore the natural seasons that every girl and woman moves through—from maiden to mother to maga to crone—and how these transitions have been devalued in patriarchal cultures. We speak candidly about the invisibility and challenges women face in perimenopause, menopause, and beyond—and how these years can become the most powerful, embodied, and liberating of our lives.

Jane shares her own path from nurse to midwife to educator, and how she came to lead a global movement reclaiming the rites of passage that have always belonged to us. This is a potent episode for any woman seeking to feel seen, supported, and celebrated in her body’s natural evolution.

Let your Matriarchal wisdom fly!

Jane will be on her Canadian tour this summer hitting Toronto, Montreal, Calgary, and Vancouver- these workshops are not to be missed!

Heart to Heart Coffee Chat with Tammy Delaney-Plugowsky

In this honest and inspiring conversation, Tammy shares her powerful journey from healthcare burnout to becoming a guide for others seeking freedom from it.

We explore what it looks like to shift from trauma-driven leadership to heart-aligned living. From her days in the ER to roles in healthcare leadership, Tammy experienced firsthand how systemic pressure and unprocessed trauma can steer us away from ourselves.

Together, we unpack how aligning with the heart can transform not just our careers, but our entire lives—from the childhood wounds we carry to the daily stressors we face at work.

Tammy now coaches executives and change makers to come back home to themselves, rediscover joy, and lead with clarity, purpose, and inspired action.
