Ep 70: Karen Lowe - If You Can Dream It, You Can Create It In this episode Sue and Karen discuss the art of entrepreneurial resilience, drive, faith and grit required to achieve success as micro-entrepreneurs. Karen Lowe shares her journey of growing up in Jamaica, which Sue loves to chat about, then moving to Canada to pursue her Doctorate Degree in Business Administration. She started Dreamer 2 Creator Business Magazine in January 2019 (launched April 2019). The magazine is intended to educate and promote Canadian micro-entrepreneurs (small businesses) while promoting Canadian content. Bio: “I was 12, living in Jamaica; my mom bought my textbooks in the summer for me to start reading before classes began in September. After reading literature books, I went on to fiction for entertainment. I became a dreamer, seeing myself in every story I read, even history. At 14, I read a story of a consultant who owned a company, working remotely with people all over the world. Like that entrepreneur, I saw myself having virtual meetings with people around the globe. Virtual work or freelance entrepreneurship was not yet a thing. After many years of studying, I went on to become a creator and be the one to be having virtual business meetings.” Karen holds a BSc (Computer and Management Studies) degree from the University of Technology, Jamaica, an MBA from Schulich School of Business, Toronto and is currently studying for her Doctorate in Business Administration. After her MBA, she started Epigram Consulting Services, helping micro-entrepreneurs start their businesses and working through the kinks. She created Carys Belle, an eco-friendly handbag line. She is the author of From Dreamer to Creator: Reframing Deterrents in Our Paths, which was from lessons learnt from Epigram Consulting Services.

58: Koa Hughes - Mental Illness Doesn't Have To Be A Lonely Journey 11/15/2020

58: Koa Hughes - Mental Illness Doesn't Have To Be A Lonely Journey “My mental health journey has been long and hard. I have dealt with depression, anxiety, PTSD, trauma and my eventual diagnosis of bipolar II disorder. Talking about it is hard. Writing about it is hard. Admitting how bad it got is hard because I never really thought that my mental health would impact my ability to mother. I never thought that I would struggle so much with my own mental health that it would impact my children.” - Koa Hughes (The Great Canadian Woman; Vol 2) As a mother, Koa discusses the importance of leading the next generation when it comes to talking about mental health and learning how to listen to our bodies. Admit to yourself and then to your doctor if you’re struggling. Koa was referred to a psychiatrist which supported her wellness journey. It’s normal to be upset about your diagnosis and medications. You can’t just rely on medication or at least if you put in the effort on self care practices you will reach optimum health. Counselling can be beneficial. When you’ve lived in manic state it can be difficult to recognize what “normal” feeling good looks like. Celebrate the journey and how far you have come from where you started, even the little things along the way. You CAN be okay. You CAN be happy. You CAN live with a mental illness and live well. Sleep is one of the number one things you need to be on top of. Sleep routine impacts mental wellness immensely. Ask for support and find support that’s going to help you. It doesn’t have to be a lonely journey. It can be people over the internet as well. Follow people who make you feel good. Don’t compare your journey to anyone else’s. Bio: You can usually find Koa pounding away on her computer, writing books, blogs and growing her Instagram following as a Mental Health Advocate. Koa is a Published Author in the books, The Great Canadian Woman Vol 1 & 2 where she discusses how to not only survive, but thrive, with major mental illness, as well as how to navigate parenting while managing mental illness. Koa's formal education came in the form of a Bachelor's Degree with a double major in Psychology and Indigenous Studies and she is currently studying too become a Registered Counsellor. Koa uses her education to help her better understand how to help men and women face and overcome their own adversity. Adversity is something Koa knows well. Before becoming an Executive, Author, and blogger, Koa had been lost; hopelessly adrift in a sea of abuse, trauma, limiting beliefs and mental illness diagnoses. An unhappy combination of medication and booze kept her afloat. Through immense growth, Koa has taken on the belief that she was allowing all of her adversity to take place, and in order to grow, she had to become her own solution. Now, Koa spends much of her time advocating for others who suffer with mental illness by normalizing mental illness. She believes that those who suffer with mental illness shouldn’t shrink themselves to fit the life of a sick person, and instead mental illness can be embraced and accepted as a positive.
