Changing the Perfect Plan with Positively Sue 07/13/2017

Changing the Perfect Plan with Positively Sue On today's episode I'm speaking with Susan Bassett and her experience as the mother of a child with a disability. Sue offers positive suggestions on how to manage living in a hospital setting. About Susan Bassett Lots of words can be used to describe Susan Bassett – determined, energetic, focused, dynamic – but none sum her up better than the moniker, “”. Susan has a passion and calling for uplifting and motivating people. Her inspiring talks help people face and overcome emotional blocks and rise above challenges, so that they can reach their peak potential. A sought-after speaker and positivity coach, Sue is known for her candid and empowering message; delivered with healthy doses of personal experience, humour and attitude. Drawing on her own personal experiences as a woman, college lecturer and the mother of a special needs child, Sue has learned how to combat negative energy, reframe perspective and view obstacles as opportunities, and now she's sharing her insights and positive wisdom with others. Sue is the proud mother of two children, Atticus and Treva. Treva was born with DiGeorge Syndrome, a life-threatening genetic condition that has presented numerous challenges for her and the entire Bassett family. Since starting her career as a motivational speaker, Sue has done over 30 keynote presentations for companies, organizations and schools; speaking to audiences ranging in size from 50 to 3000. She has also done numerous media interviews discussing her work as an educator, positivity coach and charity director. In addition to her work as a professional speaker, Sue lectures on the subject of Early Childhood Education at Mohawk College and Sheridan College in Ontario, Canada. Sue and Randy make their home in Hamilton, Ontario with their kids, 2 cats and a dog – a Bassett Hound, of course. Want more details? Raising Treva inspired Sue, along with husband Randy, to co-found Opening Hearts; a non-profit charitable organization that focuses on the needs and well-being of children with special needs and their families.

Welcome to More Than Good Food 05/24/2017

Welcome to More Than Good Food I wanted to take just a few minutes today to introduce myself and explain the intent of this podcast and what you can expect. I became a coach and author at to help women find balance in their life because it’s my place of passion. It’s been a struggle for me because I have naturally high cholesterol and I had a crazy stressful job that made it worse. My story is that I wasn’t sure how I felt when the clinical dietician suggested that I become a vegan. I tried it for a few months but it wasn’t the right thing for my body - I was bloated and hungry all the time. I’m always looking for new information or techniques to try to see if it can help me balance those hormones. It can be daunting when a child or partner decides to become a paleo-pescatarian and you don’t know what that means, let alone how to cook for them. As I’m sure you can tell, I love food but what I keep coming back to is that what we eat is only one component of our lifestyle. On top of posting pictures and writing up new recipe ideas, I spend time reading new research on movement, digestion, and stress management - but I thought it would be more interesting to have a conversation than to just talk about it. More importantly, I want to get into things we might be embarrassed to talk about at a restaurant but that you might hear amongst friends in the kitchen over a cup of tea or a glass of wine. The goal of the More Than Good Food podcast is to have those honest conversations with women who are experts in their field, and those who have lived experience that they want to share, about what it means to live a healthy life in a busy world. Because it’s a conversation, episodes won’t have a specific length but I don’t expect them to be longer than an hour. I’ll be writing up show notes with links to different resources and some of the key points. It will also serve as a place to thank our advertisers and supporters who generously provide opportunities to help offset the costs. My promise to you is that I won’t post anything that I don’t personally recommend and use myself. I look forward to hearing from you in the coming weeks about topics that you want to hear more about. And you get can those at Please feel free to contact me. You’ll find my email there as well. I hope you will join me next time for a conversation about . ... and remember that living a healthy life is about About More Than Good Food. /episode/index/show/morethangoodfood/id/5383668
