I sat down with Syd my friend and warrior in the fight against child exploitation. We navigated many different topics on this episode, some that probably will be censored on social media. We chatted about big tech giants, big pharma, politicians, social media's influence, the children and more. Buckle up because it is a 2-hour conversation. A conversation that should be allowed to happen, although we know in our culture and society that is frowned upon.

Jaimee is also an advocate for those who survived the industry and/or have been victims of sexual exploitation. Her passion is preventing exploitation within our communities which includes co-facilitating Point Loma University's prevention course.
Her organization Sister's of the Street's purpose is to be direct advocates for women and young girls who have experienced domestic sexual exploitation as well as a reliable resource that provides tailored assistance where they need it when they need it.

We touch on Pornography, the effects of social media, smartphones. We talk about things that are acknowledged in Human Trafficking, what survivors go through after being rescued, or getting out and more.

TRIGGER WARNING - SENSITIVE SUBJECT
Today I am joined by the lovely Jessica who works with Act Alberta as a manager in Education and Training. ACT ALBERTA works in collaboration with local, provincial, and national partners to identify, respond to, and prevent human trafficking. They coordinate and provide services to individuals experiencing Human Trafficking. We want to talk about this in a timeless manner so that it doesn't take away from the clients, and survivors, it's not like the movies, it's not Hollywood, it's not glamorous.
We are going to touch on the organization, different types of trafficking, the system, different ways we can educate ourselves, the resources that are available, having these conversations with our children, and how we can ultimately help. I’m going to be giving Jessica the floor today and I’m so honored and thankful that you wanted to share this with me and on this podcast.

Well... if you're living in today's world, you know that we are experience a Pandemic, The Corona Virus, aka COVID-19. And boy has it thrown a loop into everyone's lives. Currently, my children are home indefinitely for the time being, so this is about to get reallll.
This week's episode is what I like to call a Q&A Quarantine episode with me. I'm answering some burning questions that the public wanted to be answered. From body image to motherhood to business, it's all there. Some stuff I missed in my intro episode I covered in this new episode and its a long one. Recorded at 1 AM in my Smash and Tess Romper, day four unshowered, I filled up an hour listening to myself talk.
So enjoy, leave me a 5-star review and leave a comment on how you felt about this episode. See you next week.

Do you have a hard time connecting? On what level do you feel like you Connect? In this week's episode, I sit down, my dear friend Kristy Bowman. I describe her as "everything," but she chooses to use two simple words... "I AM, I just AM." She is currently working towards her Life Coach Diploma certificate and has been practicing Reiki for years. With every episode, I hope that you all can take the time to tune in and shut off all distractions, but I know that can be hard. This week I want you to connect and digest all that Kristy has to share. I asked Kristy to join me this week to share a specific topic. Human Connection. Funny story we met over making a connection soon to be that she gave me the tools to work through some rough shit. In this episode, we talk about the power of human connection. I share my experience of healing with the help of Kristy and trying Reiki for my first time. She shares that she felt that she was put on this earth to suffer. Turning pain into sharing joy, helping others build a foundation and growing to love herself after a lifetime of being told what she was or wasn't. She is wisdom. She is wise. She heals. She grows. She IS Grounded Please enjoy this episode and digest everything that Kristy speaks. She is unreal. She is EVERYTHING.
Are you ready for Episode 3? This week I am joined by the lovely Lindsay Saunders owner and founder of Cinder & Sage, Calgary based jewelry and accessory company.
I joined her at The Loft, a space she's created to curate other local products as well as her own. She is a dream and so is her pooch Frankie! Yes, she steals the show a lot of the time, but they are the perfect pair.
We share the power of making your brand personal. The ups and downs of having competition within your niche. How much should we rely on Instagram for our business? and more. Easily could have chatted for hours as I've known this girl for years, and she is another woman in this industry that I've fallen for.
We hope you enjoy the episode and share some laughs! Stay tuned for a GIVEAWAY we're hosting on our Instagram.
