Bio of Mary Janet MacDonald: I'm Mary Janet MacDonald. Born and raised in Mabou, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia. I was raised by my grandaunt after my mother passed away at 37 from cervical cancer - my father kept the 3 oldest children as they were in school and the two youngest - stayed in the same community of Mabou - but because we were pre-schoolers (I was 3 and my brother 2), our father couldn't afford care in those days - so we ended up staying at those homes while still in school. I believe this shaped me into who I am today. In that home, I was exposed to so much music and laughter - steeped in the Gaelic traditions (like story telling, stepdancing, but sadly not the language although I do understand some of it). One of my "sisters" in that family is Minnie MacMaster (Natalie MacMaster's Mom). We chat every day. She was the one who taught me stepdancing and we danced our first concert together in Mabou when I was 4 years old. I taught stepdancing for more than 30 years and travelled around the world teaching this Cape Breton tradition. I am a mother to 7 children and a grandmother to 12. My husband Cecil and I will be married 52 years this fall. We live in Port Hood, Cape Breton since we married. Because of the pandemic, I began the cooking show as a one-off but finding the need out there that people needed 'company' - at least once a week - I decided to keep on going and did this for the past 3 years. Since January 2023 - I've reduced the shows to once a month (or maybe 2) just to keep it going. It's grown to quite a few followers.

About Stephanie Turner:
--
Stephanie has over 30 years of business development experience working in Atlantic Canada. Although she’s worked in a variety of sectors including oil and gas, telecommunications and community economic development, nearly half of her career has been in brokering commercial real estate deals in the Greater Saint John area. In that time she has gained intimate knowledge of the local commercial real estate market. Stephanie specializes in the leasing of vacant office space and assisting tenants in finding their dream workspace. That being said, over the past 15 years, she’s worked with clients on virtually all aspects of buying and selling commercial real estate in addition to the leasing of industrial and retail space. Her approach to marketing her listings using social networking and other mediums has contributed to her success and has been a key element in building her personal brand. Stephanie’s strengths lie in her communications and organization skills. Her professional approach has won her an extensive and loyal client base allowing much of her new business to come from personal referrals. When not brokering commercial real estate deals, you will find Stephanie and her husband Rob cycling the highways and byways of Charlotte County, New Brunswick. She’s also helping bring awareness to Alopecia Areata, an autoimmune disorder which causes patchy baldness.

About Dr. William Randall
William L. (Bill) Randall is a retired Professor of Gerontology at St. Thomas University (STU) on Canada’s Atlantic coast. Brought up in rural New Brunswick, he holds an A.B. from Harvard College, a Th.M. from Princeton Theological Seminary, and M.Div. and Ed.D. degrees from the University of Toronto. After a ten-year career as a protestant minister with the United Church of Canada (1979-1989), serving parishes in Saskatchewan, Ontario, and New Brunswick, he taught English and Adult Education for four years at Seneca College in Toronto. In 1995, he began a 27 year career at STU where he taught a range of undergraduate courses in gerontology and helped to pioneer a unique approach to the study of aging known as narrative gerontology. Narrative gerontology blends insights from the humanities and social sciences to probe the complex dynamics of inner (or biographical) development in later life. Bill has given keynotes, papers, and workshops on this approach at conferences and universities in Canada, the US, the UK, the Netherlands, the Czech Republic, Germany, Sweden, Denmark, France, and Spain. Co-recipient of the 2009 Theoretical Developments in Social Gerontology Award from the Gerontological Society of America, Bill is founding co-editor of theNarrative Works journal, founding organizer of the Narrative Matters international conferences, and author or co-author of over 70 publications on narrative gerontology and related topics, including eight books. Among these are Reading Our Lives: The Poetics of Growing Old and The Narrative Complexity of Ordinary Life: Tales from the Coffee Shop, both published by Oxford University Press. -- Connect with Bill Randall https://www.williamlrandall.com/

She is author of "Living with a grieving Heart," a memoir, which is a guidebook to help people on the grieving process.

We have a warm conversation today around grieving and there's a lot of life lessons in there too. -- About Marianne Bette: -- Dr. Marianne Bette has survived tremendous grief, experiences that helped her when, as a family practitioner, her patients would ask for her help confronting their own difficulties. When Bette was a young doctor, her fiancé died in a small plane accident. Years later, she married and her husband died of lung cancer. In her 40-year career as a family practitioner she counselled mourning patients and their families.

She offers stories from her own personal experiences with grief as well as from her career in family medicine, to help those who are grieving learn how to embrace life again while living with a grieving heart. “I wanted people to get a feeling for the whole process and to give them encouragement,” Bette says. “So many people are grieving now especially because of COVID and drug overdoses. I’m hoping this will help people to carry on and get through. You don’t have to carry that grief around.” Living with a Grieving Heart, from Emerald Lake Books, is Bette's second book, following Living with a Dead Man, a memoir based on how she and her daughters faced her husband Thom's final year of illness.

Deanne Fitzpatrick is a rug hooking artist with a soulful story. She started her career as a therapist, but eventually found the art of rug hooking which became a method of self-expression. After 30 years in business, we chat about her journey including re-invention, creativity, growth and finding yourself. Grab a warm beverage and settle for some encouragement, creativity and beauty.
About Deanne Fitzpatrick:
Deanne Fitzpatrick makes one of a kind hooked rugs out of yarn and wool cloth, following the same tradition as her mother and both her grandmothers. Within a year of beginning to hook rugs, she began to see it as an art form – a method of self-expression – and has successfully pursued solo exhibits in public galleries and the inclusion of her work in major permanent collections. From the very beginning, she saw that this traditional handwork of Atlantic Canadian women had potential as an art form and sought to have it recognized as such.
Deanne has written eight books and illustrated one book. Writing is a big part of her practice as an artist and has been an important part of her ability to help revive the craft of rug hooking throughout North America.
Her work is a reflection on love and memory, landscape and nature. Deanne uses wool cloth and yarn to hook original designs onto a linen foundation. Each rug is hooked by hand, one loop at a time. Deanne describes her time at the frame as meditative and creative time that lets her steep and grow new ideas for her work. One rug leads to another, just as within each rug one colour leads to another.
Deanne has built a 30-year career as an artist and created a strong following for her work. Each week, she writes a newsletter to more than 20,000 followers about art, life and creativity. Sharing her writing in her books, newsletters, and podcast is an important part of her creative process of making hooked rugs.

I have been having a lot of discussions with young people recently about self discovery. And it got me thinking how self-discovery is not only for people who are just starting out on their life path. It is for anyone at any phase of life. In this episode, I take you through 5 ways to discover more about yourself. You can use this information to help discover a new career, deepen your relationships, identify your level of fulfilment and measure your overall satisfaction with your life. There's no one way to figure it all out, but you can start somewhere. You never know what's going to unlock everything inside of you. If you've been feeling stuck, unfulfilled or uncertain about what steps you should take next, this episode just might be the starting point you need.

In this episode, I share 10 ideas that I wished I knew at the beginning of my authentic journey. When I started on the path of personal development back in my mid to late 20's I had no idea I was about to take a quest to find myself. At that time, a feeling had settled in that I was off my path, so I started focusing on what I should do with my life by looking at my career. I thought my discontentment had to do with my job. In part, that was true, but it was so much more than that. My continual searching eventually sent me on a seeker's path. The journey meandered for many years and it still continues. I learned about myself, who is Dana and I continually move in the direction of my Highest Self. What a worthy journey! I highly recommend it. That being said, I wished I had known a few things that might have made my journey easier. -- In this episode, I explore 10 ideas that I wished I knew at the beginning of the journey to find myself: 1) There is nothing wrong with you 2) Authenticity is your birthright 3) You can start this journey as many times as you like 4) Enjoy the journey 5) Everyone else does not have it all figured out 6) Peace is possible 7) Find your people 8)You are exhausted and tired because the connection to your soul has erroded. 9) There is a false self called the Ego 10) Take it all in.

Today’s episode is all about being a No Limit Person.
I have been thinking about this topic for awhile. The reason that I have is that it is something that I struggle with, in that, I put limits on myself quite unintentionally and unconsciously. I am thinking maybe you can relate to this.
There are things I want to get done in this life. Dreams that I have. A quality of life that I want to live, and by that, I am referring my inner quality of life. I want to live in a state of peace and joy despite what is going on around me. And I feel from that peace and joy, I can move through the world unchained and then I will have more motivation to achieve if I am not anchored by limits that I intentionally or unintentionally set.
Today I explore:
✅what does is it mean to be a no limit person.
✅ I share my 6 six ways on how to be a no limit person.

She is open and honest about her journey and how she finally healed herself. Now she is on a mission to help others by bundling everything she used to heal herself to create her own Cognitive Eating Academy.

About the Show: Today I speak with Dr. Agnes Wainman, a clinical psychologist that helps overwhelmed and worried women overcome unrealistic expectations that are making them sick and miserable. She coined a term called Expectation Discrepancy Syndrome. We talk about: - what causes unrealistic expectations - why they are making you miserable and - how to overcome them.
About Dr. Agnes Wainman:
I understand what it's like to feel overwhelmed, to face unexpected life stressors and to struggle with finding balance between self-care and the care of everyone else. I know what it's like to feel like you're doing everything that you "should" do, yet it still never feels like it's enough. It is exhausting, both physically and emotionally. I want to help you silence that nagging voice in your head that says that you're not good enough or that you're not doing enough. I want you to be able to enjoy your life without having to imagine all the possible worst case scenarios and feeling like you need a contingency plan for all of them. My passion is to help you put you back on your own priority list, without guilty or worry. I decided to pursue my PhD in clinical psychology because I have always been intrigued by people, their stories, their relationships, their responses to stressful situations and their resilience. During my studies at Western University in London, Ontario, I was incredibly lucky to have trained in a number of different settings including working with university students at the Student Development Centre, patients with spinal cord injuries at Parkwood Hospital, patients living with chronic pain and other medical conditions at London Health Sciences Centre. I received training in a number of different theoretical orientations including cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy and mindfulness meditation training. During my residency at the London Clinical Psychology Residency Consortium, I continued my training within programs such as the Fertility Clinic and received specialized training in the relationship between physical health and emotional well-being. Following the completion of my Doctoral Degree, I began working in private practice and then founded London Psychological Services. I am so privileged to be invited into your life. -- Connect with Dr. Agnes Wainman: Website: https://www.screwexpectations.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dragneswainman Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/screwexpectations/?hl=en

This week I speak with Megan Stephens of Be Grateful., a company she started to help people express gratitude to the special people in their lives by creating gratitude boxes. We dive deep on what is gratitude and how it impacts others. Megan shares how her gratitude practice has shifted and how it has impacted the way she shows up in life. As Megan says, "The magic is all around us if we just look for it."
About Megan Stephens:
Have you ever met someone who looks after the lives of everyone around them but is barely present in their own? Well, that was me.I had a collection of moments where I felt like an imposter. I was constantly saying, “Yes,” to everyone but wasn't genuinely capturing real memories. The realization of how precious these real memories are struck me when we lost my grandmother to dementia. In one fell swoop, a lifetime of amazing stories was washed away and replaced with feelings of grief, anger, and guilt. This was the moment I felt my grandmother nudging me forward. It started as a gift for my mom to help her remember all the incredible moments we had shared. With a simple ask, friends and family came forward with memories of my grandmother and our family. I curated them all and placed them in a small box. When my mother opened it on Christmas morning, the love that poured out of that very first Gratitude Box was incredible. I saw pure gratitude radiate from her. It was the gift I had always wanted to give her but didn’t know how. In that moment, I committed to stop running through life, only capturing moments to put up on social media. I recognized that meaning is made from the everyday moments in our lives, both "perfect" and "imperfect." These fragments weave together to create the unique and wondrous story that is our life. From then on, I would be grateful for them all. The beauty in discovering Be Grateful Inc was realizing it wasn’t just my pieces that made my story; it was the moments contributed by my loved ones around me as well. I can’t wait for you to share in my experience of the immense power of gratitude. Social links: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/begratefulinc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/begratefulinc/

About the Show:
Ever wonder why you can’t just be happy? Feel like you have blocks? Sandra Akl felt this way too which eventually led to her taking herself on a journey of self-discovery. What was waiting for her on that path was spectacular, supernatural and life changing. She now uses her gifts to help others as a Soul Realignment Practitioner. Through Akashic readings, she helps people learn their purpose, release blocks and remember their gifts and talents. She helps you get back to your original divine blueprint. — About Sandra Akl: I am a Soul Realignment® Practitioner and a Reiki Healer. My journey with spirituality started after the birth of my son in 2011. I found myself in a deep depression, which prompted me to find alternative ways of healing myself. Meditation and Reiki became my go-to methods of treatment, which assisted me on my awakening process. As a result, I set out on a quest to seek the meaning of my life beyond my physical reality. Five years later, I found myself leaving my ten year marriage and embarking on a path of self-discovery. This involved having an akashic awakening, connecting to my intuition and embodying my powers of manifestation while creating the life I desired. I was guided to the akashic records course, given online by Andrrea Hess, in 2017, not knowing exactly what they meant or how they would impact my life. After doing a few readings, I experienced the joy it brought to my heart, and the positive impact it had on others in how it helped them manifest their desires. I knew this was part of my life's purpose and that I needed to pursue it. Today, through my practice, I assist others by accessing and reading their akashic records. This helps each person learn about their soul essence and heal blocks by restructuring the soul back to its original Divine blueprint. People who understand that they are the creators of their own experience will benefit the most from the work I do. They will learn to make choices that are aligned with their soul, thereby being better able to manifest the life that they desire. When we are listening to the voice of our soul, we will never be mislead. — Connect with Sandra Akl: sandraakl@gmail.com

About the Show
Today’s episode is all about the power of your third act. Carole MacInnis shares with us the power in growing older, the need to redefine what it means to age, finally finding your true path, and connecting deeply with ourselves. She tells her story of moving into her third act something that didn’t happen until she found herself in illness. Now she helps others ignite their third act...as she says “to unleash the boundless self in women who don’t take “old” for answer.” If you have been thinking about what’s next for you no matter your age, this episode will inspire you to ask “what else is possible for me?” About Carole My career spans decades as a psychologist, educator and business owner. I have experienced personally many life transitions and supported others through counselling or business consulting on making changes. Like many, my career is punctuated with achievements, trials, and tribulations. All of which have deepened my understanding and love of supporting others. -- I am a mother, grandmother and a woman who has been part of the feminist movement for many years. That matters considerably because the way I lived my life was political, whether I liked it or not. My generation, like many before and after, challenged gender norms and attempted to redefine the place of women in society. -- As I entered the third act of my life, I realized yet again I needed to challenge what others have accepted the norm at this stage of life. I began to realize that the world’s new expectation of me was that I should just fade away: find a hobby to keep myself busy. After years of gaining wisdom, an entrepreneurial spirit, and a mind as sharp as ever, this was not the life I wanted. So "Igniting the Third" was born. Now my work is helping others make the third act their best act. Connect with Carole: -- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DrCaroleMacInnis website: http://igniteyourthird.com/

Life is guiding and pushing us through the human experience to show us its power and beauty and its love, but we have been so used to controlling and managing our lives. We don’t know how to let life happen through us. We don’t know how to invite and allow as opposed to manage and control." -- "To deepen your journey, ask yourself...”What is pulling you out of yourself right now?” Deal with the discomfort. It is a pathway to a more deepening experience of your soul." "All life is spiritual. If you see things as spiritual, you will see the beauty and the grace in life."
