In this powerful solo episode, Laura shares her unexpected and life-changing journey into transformational breathwork — and how it’s become one of the most impactful practices in her life and work. Laura opens up about the moment breathwork found her in 2021, during a retreat in the mountains of British Columbia, and the surprising ways it cracked her open, softened her edges, and helped her finally loosen the grip of control.

In this raw and insightful episode, I sit down with the incredible Elisa Kurylowicz, former elite athlete, mindset coach, and host of the Elisa Unfiltered Podcast, to talk about the wound of feminine sisterhood—the ways in which women struggle to build, maintain, and repair deep, meaningful friendships. We unpack the hidden layers of competition vs. collaboration, the subconscious wounds many women carry from childhood, and how they manifest in adulthood—whether through betrayal, exclusion, or self-sabotage. Elisa shares her own experiences of deep sisterhood breakups,...

Into my life walks Corrie Bignell, The Unregistered Nurse / Certified Self Sabotage Coach - with a workshop all about self sabotage. I was a co-facilitator at a retreat where I had the privilege of hearing all Corrie's work and wisdom. Corrie joins me today to talk ALL about the topic of self sabotage. You are going to want to listen to this. If you asked me two weeks ago if I self sabotage myself I would've said no.

This short episode is a solo episode talking about HEALING. The healing we've done. The healing we've yet to do. And the healing that is between where we are and where we want to be. Eight weeks ago I started to practice again after a four year break. In this time I have known that many of us are struggling in our wholeness. The stress (in all its forms), unprocessed emotions and trauma have left many humans managing ... versus thriving. Simply put, I'm sharing my thoughts and views on what's happening in the world right now and how you can move into a greater...

In this episode, I share my experience of moving to Costa Rica from Canada. For some this is a much anticipated podcast episode. I talk about the reason why we moved -- including concerns about Canada's "pandemic" response and governmental control. I talk about the trucker / freedom rally and how it influenced our decision. In a way we never saw coming. I cover how and why we chose Costa Rica and the area we are in - including our many challenges along the way. Also, the residency and visa process, access to healthcare, nutritious food and...
info_outlineCelebrating a little bit of a milestone over here on the podcast - our first guest to return for a second episode on pod!
I'm super happy to have my good friend and colleague, Dr. Kevin Preston join me on the podcast this week. Our original intention was to primarily focus our time on the epic in-person event that Dr. Kevin is hosting in British Columbia, Canada ... called The New Human.
... But, as per usual, we managed to deepen the conversation into much more.
We talk about:
- The honour of doing the work that he gets to do what he does in his clinic in Vernon, BC, Canada as a Doctor of Traditional Chinese Medicine, herbalist and acupuncturist, trained in biological medicine.
- His desire to want to work with his patients and others on a deeper level and for longer periods of time in incredible natural settings which has led him to retreats, one day and multi-day events.
- His own healing journey and the work he's done within himself so that he can be "on the playing field" of his own life and not sitting on the stands of his life watching things go by.
- How he has seen the pattern in patients of when we live misaligned in our own lives it creates stagnant energy within ourselves and leads to dis-ease --> the connection between stuck emotions (nonintegrated emotions) + illness.
- How fear, at one time, limited his ability to move forward in certain parts of his life and how he overcame it.
- Facing the fear of the things you do know you need to change, so that you can be on the leading edge of addressing what's happening within you.
- How meditations gave him visuals of how he can serve humanity and be of service to more people.
- How the container we've held in the past starts to change and how difficult it can be to make the transition to new things that light you up. Dr. Kevin shares how this is happening for him despite the fact that he still loves to see his patients in the clinic and continues to do so. Addressing and holding the energy of both is a normal part of walking your soul journey.
The New Human Event -- June 10 + 11, 2023 in Enderby, BC, Canada
This 2-day live & in-person event is designed to help you become the clear and empowered version of yourself; to write your greatest story.
- A meditation showed Dr. Kevin the vision of a big event with humans who are resonating with the New Earth energy where we face the truth and awaken to our own truth and see what's happening around us and within us as Mother Earth supports the emergence of a new way.
- The New Human Event welcomes the emergence and expansion of the new human who is no longer willing to ignore the destruction of the planet and separation of people.
- The New Human is two days of doing the "work" together in the Splatsin Centre - an Indigenous Centre in Enderby, BC. led by Dr. Kevin and other keynote speakers such as Mark Groves and Kristin Hallet.
- During this event you will be in community and connection with other humans who feel the call to show up and live in a new way -- to feel deeply connected to their own heart energy so that we can live life in a new way.
All the details for THE NEW HUMAN are HERE.
