The Power of Following Your Passion...

Nine and a half years ago, I faced a major life change when I was let go from my corporate job of 24 years. To say it was a shock is an understatement. I had navigated multiple buyouts, believing my job was secure—until one day, a much bigger fish swallowed up the company, and I was out the door in an hour. ???

In that moment, I had no clue what was next. But I was open to being guided toward something bigger, something that would allow me to serve humanity and the planet in a meaningful way. ???

Life led me through a deeply personal health journey when both of my daughters suffered concussions just two months apart. Supporting them through their recovery opened my eyes to the world of health coaching. I started learning things about my body that I had never known before—small, simple steps that could drastically improve health. And I thought, “How do I not know this by the time I’m in my 40s?” ??

That realization became my A-ha moment. I wasn’t alone in my lack of knowledge—millions of people, just like me, had never had the time or resources to master their health. I knew I had to share what I was learning with others.

That’s how my podcast, “Don’t Wait for Your Wake-Up Call!” was born. ????? My goal was to offer easy-to-implement health tips, showcase holistic healing modalities, and most importantly, highlight stories of people who had healed themselves. Because if they can do it, you can too! ??

When you’re on a healing journey, it can often feel lonely, overwhelming, or even hopeless. But finding stories of others who’ve healed brings hope and motivation. My podcast became a passion project, and for the past 3.5 years, I’ve loved every interview and every guest. ??

I’m deeply honored to have been awarded the “Inspiration and Motivation” award by the Women in Podcasting Awards in 2024. ???? Thank you to all of my listeners, guests, and supporters! Together, we are sharing powerful information about the body’s ability to heal itself.

A special aspect of the show is that it doubles as a fundraiser for my non-profit, Girls Matter (www.girlsmatter.ca ), where I ask guests to donate to keep girls in school in Uganda and Kenya—helping break the cycle of poverty, one girl, one family, and one village at a time. ??????
