Ep. 20 - Smoke & Fears - Political Edition

In this conversation we get into Canadian Politics … which is a charged, triggering topic right now in all of North America. The purpose of this episode is not to divide but to bring together by offering information that might encourage you to do some digging/reflecting of your own.

Sandy shares what she’s come to realize about her participation in the freedom convoy, particularly her ignorance around what it represented, learning more about the bigger implications and acknowledging how far away from her own value system it is.

Terry has been an avid political enthusiast since his early teens, without any party ties beyond human rights. He knows his shizzle and attempts to share facts vs fears.

We hope this episode is a thought provoking one for you and welcome any feedback. It’s such an important time in our history with so much at stake for our future.

Are you in the ‘blending family’ phase of life?

In this conversation we share how we’ve approached blending our family, which is always a work in progress!

There are so many variables at play in the blending dynamic and being sensitive to that is so helpful.

We believe the most important step is to become united in the shared vision for your family in terms of parenting, beliefs and values.

When this is clear, it’s easier to approach the inevitable challenges that will arise and support everyone as they navigate through it.

Sweetness Of Life Reloaded
In this episode revisit a conversation we had last year on another podcast because it’s so good.
In 2020 Terry was diagnosed with diabetes and by changing his diet and lifestyle, was able to completely reverse it in under a year.
He vulnerably shares about what led to the rock bottom moment in his health and how it became a huge blessing in his evolution.
From mental health to being in alignment on his path, he doesn't shy away from the tough questions and offers up his story in the hopes it could help someone else.

Our guest this week is one of the anti MLM movements outspoken content creators, Julie Anderson.

After being a part of Monat for years Julie ‘woke up’ to the cult that is multi level marketing.

Once she did, it became her duty to warn others about the dangers and fraud of this nefarious industry.

She creates an enormous amount of engaging and hilarious content in the hopes it can help just one person make the decision to exit these scams.

We talk about what it’s been like to use her voice in this way and some of the backlash she has faced because of it.

Julie has actively petitioned the FTC and Canadian Competition Bureau to implore them to stop recognizing MLMs as legit businesses.

We hope you love this chat as much as we did!

We are so excited to bring you this conversation with Brandie Hadfield, our first guest on the show!

She a wealth of knowledge and her perspective is fascinating when it comes to the psychology behind people who get swept up into commercial cults. She knows it from the lens of a psychotherapist but also as someone who was in one for 10 years, the same one Sandy was in the longest!

Brandie is a mother of two based in Toronto, a psychotherapist in clinical supervision, and President of “Flipping the Pyramid,” a non-profit peer support group committed to aiding individuals in their recovery from commercial cults.

As an MLM recovery advocate, Brandie believes everyone deserves freedom of mind and speaks out against the abuses of power and coercion perpetrated by MLM scams. You can read her writing on Substack and find her profile on Instagram.

We hope you enjoy this interview as much as we did!

The honeymoon phase is touted as a finite thing and it's implied all euphoria felt in the beginning of a relationship is fleeting…

That once real life settles in and all the shine wears off, the magic goes with it.

What’s left might be strong but the general implication is that passion wanes.

We challenge this notion and offer our perspective on how to achieve greater levels of intimacy.

Spoiler Alert - it's TRUTH and HONEST COMMUNICATION that creates the vulnerability necessary to keep the fire of passion burning hot.

Truth really is the ONLY love language.
