Insight Timer is a great resource, one I’ve been using for more than a decade.

You’ll find a variety of guided meditations, breath work, yoga, mindfulness, music, live gatherings and so much more from folks all around the world.

I highly recommend it and the free version has plenty to choose from.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A shift in perspective is good for the soul.

I wasn’t ready. Even after 12 years of love, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.

Navigating loss is never simple. Even when we know it’s coming, our hearts are never truly prepared.

Yesterday, I said goodbye to my loyal companion, Koda, my therapy dog. Twelve years of unconditional love, silliness, comfort, and presence… and still, I wasn’t ready to let her go.

Grief brings everything to the surface—feelings, memories, thoughts you didn’t expect. Twelve years ago, I would have pushed those emotions down, numbed out, and kept moving… only to have that pain return stronger years later.

But today, I’m choosing something different.

I’m choosing to feel the ache… to sit with the discomfort… to honour the depth of what she meant to me.
I’m choosing compassion for myself—remembering her goofy moments, her kind eyes, her warmth beside me. And even through tears, those memories make me smile.

I could stay here in this grief. It would be easy. But I won’t live here.
I’ll carry her with me as I move forward because I know she would want that.

If you are navigating loss of any kind—a loved one, a pet, a relationship, a job, or perhaps a sense of self - you are not alone. And you don’t have to do this work in isolation.

✨ Join us at Reconnect With Joy on November 10th

We’ll explore gentle tools to help you move through your experience with more kindness, presence, and inner capacity.

Hey friends,

Response times will be delayed as I’m navigating a loss right now. I appreciate each and everyone one of you for your kindness and understanding.

Take gentle care of yourself and each other.

✨ What if your next walk wasn’t about the numbers?

You lace up your shoes, step outside, and open your app.
Before you even begin, you check your watch...
How many steps so far?
How’s your heart rate?
How’s your breathing?

There’s nothing wrong with tracking your progress — but when your focus stays on the numbers, you can miss the quiet moments that make the walk meaningful.

What if, instead of watching your watch, you looked up?

Imagine pausing for a moment…
You take a breath.
You notice one tree directly in front of you — its bark, its shape, its strength.
You reach out and touch it, feeling the texture beneath your fingertips.
You notice the scent of pine or damp earth.
You feel your feet grounded against the path.

That’s where connection begins — not in the count, but in the presence.

Next time you head out, try this gentle invitation:
🌿 Slow down.
🌿 Notice what’s around you.
🌿 Take a breath of gratitude for what’s right in front of you.

Because when you shift from counting to connecting, your sense of well-being expands — one mindful step at a time.

Join me at Reconnect with Joy on November 10th to learn more tools to help you cultivate presence.

Sometimes, joy doesn’t come from big moments — it’s hidden in the tiniest, most ordinary details of our day.

Back in 2014, I had just returned home after two months at Homewood Health Centre in Guelph, where I was receiving care on their Post-Traumatic Stress Recovery Unit. Coming home was… hard. Everything felt different.

Then I came across a friend who was doing the 100 Happy Days Challenge. Every day, she posted one small thing that brought her joy. And somehow, watching her happiness helped me find a little bit of my own.

So I tried it. For 100 days, I looked for one thing that made me smile, one tiny thing to be grateful for. Some days it was the warmth of my tea mug. Other days, sunlight through the trees, or trying my son's toque. Slowly, those moments became my bridge back to life.

Gratitude has a quiet power — it helps us reconnect to ourselves, even in moments of hardship or grief.

✨ If you’d like to learn more ways to invite joy into your everyday life, join me at Reconnect with Joy — a wellness event designed to help you feel grounded, nourished, and present again.

💜 Because when we notice what’s working, we start to feel well.
