I share my tips for getting ready to meet baby and what to do after they're here. We’ll talk about what surprised me this time around, how my mindset has shifted with each baby, and what postpartum recovery really feels like — physically,...

Inspired by the powerful read One Decision Away by Amanda Wilson-Ciocci and serveral other Candian, female entreprenurs and co-authors, I’m sharing my 'one decision' moments.

I can’t believe we made it to episode 100 of the Go Get Great podcast! In true milestone fashion, we’re doing something totally different—and honestly, super fun. This week, you’re not just getting a behind-the-scenes look… you’re getting a ChatGPT interview with me! Yep, I handed the mic over to AI (kind of) and let ChatGPT prompt me with questions I might not have asked myself—everything from why I started the podcast to what I’ve learned, what’s surprised me the most, and how I’ve changed since episode one. We talk about: My original motivation for starting the podcast...

This one’s personal. In this week’s episode of Go Get Great, I’m opening up about something we’ve been navigating behind the scenes—something I haven’t shared publicly until now. We sold our house. Not because we were upgrading. Not because we were relocating for a dream job or planning a big life change. We sold our home because we owed money—a lot more than we expected—and had to make a tough call. In this episode, I’m walking you through the full story: ✨ What led us to this point ✨ How a surprise government categorization left us with a hefty debt ✨ The decision to...
