The reader comes to understand Molly's worldview, and to sympathize with her longing to be accepted—a quest that gives The Maid real emotional heft." —The New York Times "The Maid is a masterful, charming mystery that will touch your heart in ways you could never expect. . . . This is the smart, quirky, uplifting read we need." —Ashley Audrain, #1 bestselling author of The Push.A dead body is one mess she can't clean up on her own.Molly Gray is not like everyone else. She struggles with social skills and misreads the intentions of others. Her gran used to interpret the world for her, codifying it into simple rules that Molly could live by. Since Gran died a few months ago, twenty-five-year-old Molly has been navigating life's complexities all by herself. No matter—she throws herself with gusto into her work as a hotel maid. Her unique character, along with her obsessive love of cleaning and proper etiquette, make her an ideal fit for the job. She delights in donning her crisp uniform each morning, stocking her cart with miniature soaps and bottles, and returning guest rooms at the Regency Grand Hotel to a state of perfection. But Molly's orderly life is upended the day she enters the suite of the infamous and wealthy Charles Black, only to find it in a state of disarray and Mr. Black himself dead in his bed. Before she knows what's happening, Molly's unusual demeanour has the police targeting her as their lead suspect. She quickly finds herself caught in a web of deception, one she has no idea how to untangle. Fortunately for Molly, friends she never knew she had unite with her in a search for clues to what really happened to Mr. Black. But will they be able to find the real killer before it's too late? Both a Clue-like, locked-room mystery and a heartwarming journey of the spirit, The Maid explores what it means to be the same as everyone else and yet entirely different—and reveals that all mysteries can be solved through connection to the human heart.

MC Design Academy is designed to be a space where I get to share my expertise with you, where you'll get to learn all about visual merchandising, design, display, retail, and everything in between. Come along as I practice my craft and be sure to like, subscribe, and follow our socials to keep updated. See you in the merchandising land of MC Design Academy!A printmaking graduate from the Ontario College of Art and Design, Michelle Galletta is the founder of Kiriki Press. The idea was inspired by Michelle wanting to make her niece Madeleine an embroidered doll but couldn't find a pattern anywhere. Michelle decided to learn how to embroider so she could make her a set of three owl dolls to play with. It was difficult to find contemporary embroidery patterns that weren't overly simplistic, let alone embroidered doll patterns, so Michelle ended up designing her own. As she was making Madeleine's owls, she became fascinated with embroidery: the vibrant colors, the countless variety of stitches, and the calming effect it had on her.After several years of improving her embroidery skills (and a ton of design work), Kiriki Press was born. It was developed in the hopes of giving others the chance to make something precious with their own hands. Kiriki Press was launched in December 2012 with seven patterns, and the collection has grown over the years and is currently expanding to include a range of other DIY products. Michelle was chosen as a featured seller on Etsy and has been a contributor to Mollie Makes books and magazines. The company has been featured in Uppercase, Canadian Living, Chatelaine, Bust Magazine, and Homespun, as well as many other print publications and craft blogs.Here, Michelle takes us inside her shop and shares how she moved from her prototype dolls into full production. She also talks about how she transitioned from what she thought was her dream job into starting a business of her own. Michelle shares her experience at her very first show, how she handled business growth through the pandemic, and where she finds inspiration.What's Inside:How Michelle moved from prototype to full productionMichelle's experience at her first showWhere Michelle finds inspirationMentioned In This Episode:www.kirikipress.comKiriki Press on InstagramKiriki Press on FacebookKiriki Press on Pinterest

In today's episode, we discuss the concept of "unschooling", a learner-directed educational approach popularized by John Holt, contrasting it with traditional schooling.Traditional? Actually what we know as "unschooling" was considered pretty normal until the Industrial Revolution introduced the concept of the 8-hour work day, parents working far from home. What to do with the kids?Voila! The modern school environment was born. And while there are some pretty good public and even private institutions, even the best of intentions can't undo basic humanity and how we're programmed to learn how to live life, learn a trade or a profession, etc.Our guest, Judy Arnall, is the author of 'Unschooling to University'. Judy shares her journey into unschooling driven by her dissatisfaction with authoritarian school environments and her commitment to non-punitive parenting.Judy explains the benefits of unschooling, such as fostering a child's innate curiosity and self-directed learning, and addresses common concerns like gaps in knowledge and the role of screens in education. We also touch on the practicalities of unschooling, such as transitioning to formal learning for university preparation and overcoming societal misconceptions about educational authority.The conversation includes Judy's insights into brain development, discipline versus punishment, and the advantages of personalized, interest-driven education for children.Be sure to tune in to my follow-up interview with Judy which focuses exclusively on the concept of non-punitive parenting. If you're exasperated with trying to get your kids to "do the right thing," you might want to give it a listen!In this interview with Judy, you'll discover:01:59 Judy's Journey into Unschooling04:04 The Concept of Discipline vs. Punishment05:04 Critique of Traditional Schooling Methods07:21 Impact of Traditional Schooling on Children08:14 Unschooling and Special Needs09:28 Common Objections to Unschooling15:09 The Role of Video Games in Education18:43 Transitioning to Unschooling24:44 Challenges and Considerations in Unschooling26:22 Addressing Concerns About Unschooling26:37 Teaching Commitment and Grit27:22 Personal Experiences with Commitment29:53 Managing Screen Time and Activities31:30 Transitioning to Formal Education33:49 The Role of Khan Academy35:42 Homeschooling vs. Traditional Schooling43:10 Parental Rights in Education45:48 Resources for Unschooling46:59 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsResources mentioned:Unschooling to UniversityJudy Arnall's websiteAbout the guest:Judy Arnall, BA, CCFE (Certified Canadian Family Life Educator), DTM (Distinguished Toastmaster) is an international award winning professional keynote speaker and a well-known Canadian parenting expert, having given advice for television interviews on CBC, CTV, and Global as well as publications such as Chatelaine, Today's Parent, Canadian Living, Parents magazine, and newspapers including The Globe and Mail, Sun Media and Postmedia News.Judy is certified in the Brain Story and many training programs such as The Growing Brain: 0-5, by ZeroToThree.org, Terrific Toddlers by AHS-Alberta Health Services, P.E.T.

The importance of a good support system in your life is incredible. The benefits of having supportive people who want you to succeed, appreciate you, cheer you on, give you advice and tough love, want the best for your wellbeing and growth…the list goes on and on, are physical and mental. Look for the truly supportive people in your life, recognize their roll in your circle and celebrate it! At the same time, take note of the consistently negative vibes from people in your life that you just don't resonate with anymore…we talk ways to find support, ways to make boundaries and set intentions for the not so support people, and the how to get it all done. This episode is so important, we hope you hear some strong takeaways that you will start thinking about so you can live the life you want to live!—————Real Tip of the Day: Reality BitesAcknowledging that you can not change anyone else is key, you can only change you. Someone has to want to change to have change, it can not be forced. Coming to terms with the reality that you might actually have to lose a friendship or relationship to gain more positive relationships is a must. Think about who is in your circle and who you want to stay vs who you want to decrease energy exchange with.Lets make it EXTRA! Who me? Couldn't be!Sometimes it takes two to tango! Take time to reflect on your creations on how you contribute to negatives situations. Does someone else energy rub off you on? Do their vibes spark something less than appealing in you? Be aware.

Hey - I've got a really great episode with my friend and colleague, Ciara Foy. We are talking frankly all about weight loss and health optimization for women.   Oh … so January of us — but it's not. This episode is an honest and powerful conversation around how Ciara empowers women to take impeccable care of themselves so that they can maintain the energy, motivation and passion it takes to go after their dreams while curating each day … and therefore the life, they choose.    Ciara is a Women's Weight Loss + Hormone Expert. She's also the author of the Amazon Bestseller "Empowered by Food" Heal Your Hormones, Balance Stress and Become Unstoppable and the founder of “The Empowered Feminine” podcast.   On her own health journey, Ciara faced and overcame weight gain, burnout, depression, and a self-destructive mindset. She now uses those experiences to help women create room for self-care and get back on track to become their happiest, healthiest selves.   In this episode we talk about: We talk about mindset and actionable strategies that are fundamental to the work she does with women. Ciara's journey to date and how she came to the work she does with women. Ciara's 1:1 relationships with women and where she starts when she begins working with them. It's all about their mindset, subconscious and limiting beliefs and understanding why they haven't had the success they are ultimately desiring. When Ciara is teaching women about weight loss, what she is actually teaching them. It goes beyond counting calories but truly understanding how food works and all the other factors that contribute to a healthy metabolism and energy management. Ciara shares the most common myths or untruths that so many of us tell ourselves that keep us stuck in unhealthy or unproductive patterns. The role of protein in keeping and building muscle mass [and why its vital to your health and metabolism], blood sugar regulation and how much we need. Why sleep is one of your most important modulators of good health and optimal weight management. Exercise and movement - how much, how often and what type. What it's like to work with Ciara in her 1:1 or group containers [and why she's so good at the work she does with women]. Dive in and enjoy the episode.   More about Ciara: When Ciara is not working out, spending time in nature or with her two daughters —she's empowering women through her podcast "The Empowered Feminine", speaking on virtual stages and providing clinical evaluation and coaching to women all over the world, from Bay Street to Wall Street, Florida to Spain and beyond. Ciara has been featured in ELLE, FLARE, ET Canada, CTV, Best Health Magazine, Canadian Living, and Body Rock TV.    Connecting with Ciara: WEBSITE INSTAGRAM PODCAST   More about Laura: I have recently opened up some opportunities for women to work 1:1 with me in personal leadership coaching.

Mindfulness and pet grief expert Sarah Chauncey shares insights about how the special connections we have with our pets creates a unique kind of grief.

Do you remember a time in your life when you didn't think about what you ate? You just, ate? Wouldn't it be nice to get back there, to make food feel good? Well, buckle up friends, this episode is gonna be a juicy one because today we're talking to dietitian Lindsay Pleskot about how to reclaim your relationship to eating—and make food feel good. Ready? Let's dive in. About Lindsay Pleskot: Lindsay is a Registered Dietitian (also in the process of becoming a Certified Intuitive Eating Counselor) speaker, and writer on a mission to make food feel good, body, mind, and soul. She has been featured in/on The Huffington Post, Global BC, CBC News, CKNW radio, Canadian Living, and Chatelaine among other popular media outlets. Using a blend of science based nutrition with mindful and intuitive eating practices she helps her community nourish their cells from the inside out while finding a peaceful relationship with food and their bodies. Lindsay believes that food has the ability to connect us more deeply to ourselves, our community and world around us. On this episode we chat about: What your intense food cravings are telling you (It's probably not what you think!) Why unrestrictive eating is NOT the same as eating burgers and fries 24/7 How to reconnect with our bodies and notice the signals that are giving us those intuitive cues of hunger, fullness, and satisfaction The importance of incorporating mindfulness into our mealtimes and daily routines What “Intuitive Eating” actually is (PS: it's NOT intuitive fasting, don't even get her started on that bs!) How diet culture has infiltrated what we believe is healthy What Lindsay calls “eating around what you really want”—and how to confront it! What true unconditional permission is and why it will help us make the best food choices How Lindsay's own food journey brought her to where she is today Learned something new? Have questions?

Tune in to hear special guest, Rachel Kelly, talk about the creation of Make Lemonade - a virtual co working space that gives you the tools to hustle less and grow more. We talk about what it's like to start your own business, how to pivot when life hands you lemons (like a global pandemic), and how to build a mindful and inclusive community.About Make Lemonade:Make Lemonade sprouted in 2017 when founder Rachel Kelly was feeling extra lonely freelancing and had zero coworkers to connect with. So, she opened a Toronto coworking office and before she knew it, a community was born.A lot happened in the first couple of years. Being featured in Forbes, Fashion Magazine, Toronto Life, and Canadian Living are some of our highlights, partnering with Bumble, Facebook and Instagram are huge wins, but our heartwarming events really take the cake.

Brooke describes how wellness culture can lead us down a path that makes the symptoms we are trying to "fix" worse. For example, we are bombarded by messages that the "right diet" will heal the gut and is a panacea for a myriad of medically unexplained symptoms.
