25 years of teaching, 25 tips to be a great teacher. Tip number 3!

Begin and end your classes on time! People are counting on you to keep track of time so they can tune out and enjoy the class experience.

Hot take - it’s annoying when teachers go over the class time ending. People are busy! We all have places to go and things to do. Respect people’s time!

25 years of teaching, 25 tips to be a great teacher. Tip number 2!

Make sure you greet a new person to your class as soon as you can! It’s really important to make that person feel seen. They also might be nervous! Make them feel comfortable with a warm hello and a smile.

A cutie group shot from Kathryn’s strength retreat last week! .ca

One thing I really loved about this retreat, and just in general with this group, is that we only talked about food with positivity. We were fed nourishing, hearty meals for lunch and then had the most amazing pastries and coffee after our walks.

Too often when I’m in groups of women (sorry to stereotype, but this doesn’t seem to happen when I’m in groups of men) it’s all be about calories, fat content, I shouldn’t eat this, oh no I couldn’t BLAH BLAH BLAH.

Food is fun, food is pleasure, we deserve to eat well and eat WHATEVER WE LIKE without having to judge ourselves (or others!) about it!

Thank you for listening to my TED talk rant ;) And thank you to this awesome group!

Had an amazing, solo adventure to Montreal, Quebec and Williamstown, Ontario last week!

I flew into Montreal to be a tourist for 24 hours, then took the train to Williamstown for a 4 day strength (💪) retreat, then back to Montreal for another 24 hour tourist mission!

The strength retreat was with one of my favourite teachers - Kathryn Bruni-Young - and hosted at her beautiful home in historic Williamstown. It was 4 days of lifting, sharing, and eating with 5 other fabulous women from across Canada. To be in community with like minded folks was so nourishing.

I had never been to Montreal before and was really craving a little adventure! I used to travel a lot, and backpacked through my teens to mid 20’s in Europe, Australia, Central America, and South America. I was missing that adventurous side of my myself. I love travelling with my husband, with my girlfriends, and I especially loved travelling with my mom. It felt good to be brave! And eating so much good food 😋

I loved travelling in Canada to somewhere that felt like Europe, or New York! It was also a treat to be in rural Ontario and see the famous fall colours.

Came home and told my husband that I’ll be travelling solo at least once a year. I’m already excited for whatever my next adventure will be!

Pictures are in order from Montreal, to the strength retreat, and then back to Montreal.

One of the best investments you can make is in the your friendships.

Back from an incredible week in the Kootneys with my ride or die girlfriends and their kids.

We met in Calgary between the ages of 12 and 19, and these relationships have stayed strong amongst busy lives and geographical space between us.

Any long term relationship takes work and communication and I’m grateful for the time and effort we commit to each other.

We were on vacation for a 13th birthday and a teen getting her braces off. It’s so fun to see your life as a youth lived through your besties children!

And - new hilarity unlocked - we hired an incredible dancer, Emily, to teach a line dancing class for us! So funny and fun.

Grateful for life, love, and sweet friends.
