As we wrapped up the year, I found myself gathering the moments from the show that moved me the most—the conversations that nudged me to think differently about home, beauty, and the way we shape our days. Revisiting these clips felt a bit like walking back through rooms I love: Olga reminding us that tiny shifts in our spaces can spark self-worth; Danielle celebrating the joyful friction of mixing styles; Bailey inviting us into that fearless creative “zone.” Then there were the makers—Francesca stirring pigments into velvety limewash, Brea and Guy rescuing centuries-old stone, and Michal weaving stories through embroidery—each one revealing the human hands and histories behind the things we live with. Sharing these voices again felt like opening a window to everything I believe about Slow Style: that beauty is both mirror and guide, and that home is an ever-evolving conversation between who we are and who we're becoming.

In this episode, I'm joined by Brea Starmer, founder of Lions & Tigers, a company she started after being laid off while seven months pregnant and serving as her family's primary income. What began as survival quickly became a new way of thinking about work: flexible, skilled, sustainable, and built around real life.We talk about the myth of stability in traditional employment, why so many women and caregivers are pushed to the margins, and how blended teams and fractional work are giving people more agency than ever before.And of course, we talk about the real-life side of it all- parenting, logistics, exhaustion, boundaries, and the seasons where everything feels like “a lot”… and also deeply purposeful.In this episode:The layoff that sparked Lions & TigersHow Brea built her own maternity leave through freelance workWhy blended teams are becoming essential in enterprise companiesHow AI, caregiving, and shifting workplace norms are reshaping careersWhat it actually looks like to build a business while raising three kidsThe skill of knowing what's worth your time (and what you can let fall through the colander)Connect with Brea:Lions & Tigers: lionsandtigers.comWorkforce Reimagined studyConnect with Brea on LinkedInConnect with Ashley:Website: https://www.ashleyblackington.comPodcast website: https://www.andbothpodcast.com/Dovetail® App: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/dovetail-app/id6744341822Instagram: @mydovetail.appLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyblackington/

In this special edition of Dear Beth, the podcast pauses to honour the extraordinary life and legacy of Beth Bilson, KC. Beth's passing on August 13, 2025, was a profound loss to the legal community and to all who knew her. In this episode, we reflect on the many ways her influence continues to illuminate the path forward. As an educator, community leader, and relentless advocate for women's equality, Beth was a force who reshaped the legal landscape in Saskatchewan and beyond. Hosts Jen Quesnel, Brea Lowenberger, and Leah Howie are joined by a very special guest: Kate Bilson - Beth's daughter and a lawyer in her own right. Together, they revisit one of Beth's most impactful projects: Creating a Seat at the Table: Reflections from Women in Law, the book Beth co-authored with Leah and Brea. This collection brings together candid, powerful first-person stories from women across the legal profession, capturing their lived experiences, challenges, triumphs, and hopes for the future. The episode also features moving reflections and contributions from Justice Georgina Jackson, Anita Fraser, Katarina Kostiha, Lawren Trotchie, and Judy Jaunzems-Fernuk, each offering their own perspective on Beth's enduring impact and the relevance of Creating a Seat at the Table. This episode was made possible through the generosity and support of McKercher LLP and Kate Bilson. _____ Additional Resources:    Read about the incredible career of Dr. Beth Bilson, KC here: ​​https://law.usask.ca/people/emeriti/beth-bilson.php   Read the obituary for Dr. Beth Bilson, KC here: https://www.arbormemorial.ca/en/park/obituaries/ruth-elizabeth-bilson/146359.html   Discover the book, Creating a Seat at the Table: Reflections from Women in Law: https://law.usask.ca/createjustice/projects/current-projects/creating-a-seat-at-the-table.php

SOUND:RUN:BREA(D)TH by Pheobe riley Law, 2025. Sound:run:brea(d)th had its origins in the sound-runs I embarked on each morning, speed-dating with each locale, listening to their rhythms alongside that of my own breath before returning to them to listen at a slower pace. I filmed also, on an old, low resolution camcorder, moving through open and indoor spaces, connecting with people and occasionally discovering an electronic pulse or a cute sounding object that I knew I wanted to draw attention to. I think of this piece as a theatre; a space with multiple shifting scenes; uncovered things covered; field recordings; public squares / architectural spaces / the inner sounds of locally grown fruit / soil in the apartment garden / plant roots and branches / a milk vending machine along the Bega river / bird deterrent devices. The sections / scenes become muffled, abstracted yet stay open; unearthed organic matter and micro-worlds, architectural resonance and the ultrasonic attractive and border. Each fragment shaped by or attempting to shape its environment and context. Spending some months with the recordings, and composing musical elements from them, I find links between old and new technologies, a personal and social sense of time, and the use of sound covered and uncovered. // A piece composed with recordings made during SONIC FUTURE RESIDENCIES organized by SEMI SILENT and hosted by Simultan Festival in Timișoara, October 2024. // Pheobe riley Law (1997) is an installation artist with a focus in sound, performance, photography, and sculptural activation. Using a symbiotic approach, she builds dialogues between different bodies, borders and devices, activating, flexible new relationships. Prevailing interests include sonic mapping, exploring the life of non-human actors / inanimate objects & thinking about aspects of human activity through the lens of division and borders. She sometimes playfully reverses the roles of humans & non-humans, revealing the object-hood of the human essence, and an animate character of the ‘inanimate' being. In one of her recent installations and performances Machine Equities she explores the sonic landscape of machines as actors and singing collaborators. Previous and ongoing explorations focus on: the relationship we have to the natural world; machine technologies as our collaborators; the role salt has on aquatic life and the activation of micro-worlds such as moss, soil and motorized machines. // Recordings, composition and mixing by Pheobe riley Law for SEMI SILENT. Co-produced by Simultan.

Brea Starmer, founder of Lions and Tigers, challenges the outdated workplace model that measures face time over impact. Drawing from her experience as a mother of three running a company during COVID-19, she introduces the concept of "highest and best use"—a real estate framework adapted to human potential that prioritizes outcomes over hours logged. Starmer reveals why 11.5 million workers quit their jobs between April and June 2021 alone, with burnout as the number one driver and women of color disproportionately affected. She unpacks how traditional workplace structures fail parents, especially mothers, who navigate staccato schedules dictated by sick kids, COVID testing, and survival-mode 15-minute work chunks. Through Lions and Tigers' model of flexibility, inclusive culture, and organizational clarity, Starmer demonstrates why companies that center their people's actual needs achieve better collective results—and why the eight-hour workday built for a different era must be dismantled. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What if the secret to exponential business growth isn't working harder, but becoming a life architect first?Serial entrepreneur Bill Faeth has launched 31 successful startups, but his most important transition was becoming a life architect. In "From Serial Entrepreneur to Life Architect: Bill Faeth on Building Business Around Your Life," Bill shares how a disappointing forum experience in 2015 revealed he was operating at only 85% in his marriage. Through weekly "Faith Fridays" and aligned life planning with his wife Maria, Bill transformed both relationships and business. Now running seven companies generating $24 million with just three employees, Bill architects his ventures around the life he wants—ski trips, fly fishing, international travel. "If you don't have your life at home optimized, you're probably not seeing your full potential on the business side either."Bill Faeth is a serial entrepreneur, investor, speaker, and the founder of the #1 short-term rental brand (Build STR Wealth) in the industry, with a track record of building and scaling thirty-seven companies across multiple industries and generating more than $1 billion in lifetime sales. He is also the founder of the sold-out STR Wealth Conference, and his insights have been featured on NBC, Fox, Fox Business, Merit Street, and other major media outlets. Beyond business, Bill is a dedicated family man who shares his success with his wife, Brea, and their two amazing daughters, Gentry and Oaklee.About The Show: The Life in Transition, hosted by Art Blanchford focuses on making the most of the changes we're given every week. Art has been through hundreds of transitions in his life. Many have been difficult, but all have led to a depth and richness he could never have imagined. On the podcast Art explores how to create more love and joy in life, no matter what transitions we go through. Art is married to his lifelong partner, a proud father of three and a long-time adventurer and global business executive. He is the founder and leader of the Midlife Transition Mastery Community.
