It was late August. I finally met someone who I foresaw going somewhat of a distance with. Our schedules were conflicting, which meant time was precious. On top of that, we were both about to go a few weeks without seeing each other and had one whole evening to make it really count. At the time, I was feeling unsure with where I was going to take my work next, and in turn, feeling scared and unfulfilled, so I was banking on that evening to help me forget all of my worries. He arrived at my place at 4pm. We went to paint a wall back to white at my old apartment. We made love. And, by 6 ..read more

Before reading this, I want to make a number of things clear: - Similar to mushrooms, LSD is not legal under Canadian law. Please be aware of this if you plan to engage with either. - This is my personal experience and I am not an expert. If you do plan to do an LSD journey, please, first, consult an expert and/or do so with someone you trust. - My relationship with psychedelics, plant medicine or any other drugs mentioned here is for therapeutic purposes. Safety, lab-testing, trusted trauma-informed friends, guides / mentors are paramount for me with every journey I embark on. * * * As I be ..read more

Last week was jam-packed for me on the being-coached side of things (in the BEST way possible): I had a 3 hour Hot Seat Coaching Session with my Coach, Sarah Jenks (we each had 20 minutes to be in the hot seat, then would listen in on each other being coached – SUPER impactful) I had a 1 hour call with my Weekly Mastermind group (we meet weekly on Wednesdays for 1 hour and have been doing so for a year).

This week in The Well, the topic of imposter syndrome was a hot topic. And look, I *get* it.. When I began my career as a Holistic Nutritionist, I felt like such a fraud. After graduating, I began working with clients and I was doubting myself so hard that I went to the open house for CCNM (Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine) because I felt like if I was able to call myself a "doctor", that would solve everything. (I didn't end up pursuing it, by the way. While it would've been a super interesting 4 years because that subject matter fascinates me, it's not where my heart was at and I ..read more

While I’ve microdosed with mushrooms (“psilocybin”) in the past, this experience would mark my first real “journey” with mushrooms. In the past, I’ve microdosed anywhere from 50-150mg for mood support and at times played with doses of 500mg combined with breathwork and once, 1 gram before a David Guetta concert (do not recommend unless you want to feel hyper conscious of everyone’s energy at the concert LOL). My Draw to Psilocybin (“Magic Mushrooms”) I’ve felt the strong call to do a psilocybin journey since January 2020. As I write that, I’m realizing I feel most drawn to this plant medicine ..read more

What if living the life you truly desire was as easy (or as difficult) as rewriting some of the beliefs and stories that have been set in your mind for years? I spent most of my 20s doing things a certain way because I thought it was what I was supposed to do. People praised me and I felt validated by others—but I didn’t feel validated by me. Deep down, I felt empty and asked myself… is this it? All because I hadn’t learned how to listen to myself, and relief on others’ approval or opinion. Fast forward a decade, and I’m truly living my life for me. I’m living my juiciest, most authentic, mos ..read more
