There are moments in our journey that are truly life-changing. This week, I'm answering a listener question from Ruby, who underwent four years of cancer treatment and is struggling to feel sexy again. Admittedly, I originally didn't feel qualified to answer this question, since I have not experienced cancer myself.  But then I thought about it, and decided that falling back in love with ourselves requires the same work and commitment whether you're finding it post something hugely traumatic like fighting cancer, or if you've lost your partner, your home, or whatever you might be struggling to come back from.  So that said, I think you will find my advice helpful if you're having trouble falling back in love with yourself too. We talk about:[2:55] Ruby's question[7:45] Knowing your worth and value as a whole person[15:00] Having hard conversations with your partner that will draw you closer together[19:40] Tips to process hardship and get your sexy back Loved this episode?

Let's get candid, friend. How do we become good financial role models for our kids? If you're like me, you may have grown up with a scarcity and fear-based mindset when it comes to money and finances. My mom was always living paycheck to paycheck, making sure my siblings and I had everything we needed, but there was never anything left afterwards.  Growing up, I always found money to be something that was hard to get, that it goes as fast as it comes. Even when we started to make more money as the years went on, I still had that lingering belief of ‘what if it's not enough.' This is why today's conversation is SO important, our kids need to learn how to reframe their own beliefs about money too! If you're a parent, this is for you. If you're thinking about becoming a parent, this episode is for you. And if you are somebody like me, who, when you weren't a parent, you didn't learn about money at home, this episode is for you.  Joining me on the show is Robin Taub, keynote speaker and award-winning author of The Wisest Investment: Teaching Your Kids to Be Responsible, Independent and Money-Smart for Life, an update of the bestselling A Parent's Guide to Raising Money-Smart Kids.  Robin is obsessed with personal finance and investing. Using her financial background, and professional coaching training, she raised two responsible, independent mostly money-smart kids. Now, she helps other parents do the same! We talk about:[0:00] Intro[7:20] Debunking stereotypes around accountants[11:50] The 5 pillars of money[14:10] Three strategies to teach your kids about money[15:20] Why it's important to know what your values are with money[19:20] How to start financial healing[27:04] Tips to teach parents who are reluctant to money to teach their kids about it[39:00] How to shift from a scarcity mindset [47:50] How education around money and finances is changing in schools[57:30] Why you need to be accountable to your money Loved this episode?

So friend, how do you start to chase your dreams when you don't know where to start? I know, I know, it sounds lofty to talk about chasing dreams and finding our purpose, but the truth is, as moms, sometimes we lose our purpose and our core desires along the way. It's not our fault, it's just that our kids need so much from us, that we don't always stop and think about what WE want! Know what I mean? Of course you do! I see you busy mama! That's why I'm so excited to share this conversation with my dear friend Sabrina Sigalas with you today. It's packed with so many gems around navigating our own desires and balancing them with what our kids and families need from us. Sabrina is the creative & executive producer at Sigalas & Co. After starting her career in advertising, Sabrina realized that her passion lies in bringing ideas to life.  After running hundreds of productions & events -- from conferences & trade shows to docu & webseries, Sabrina brings with her a wealth of knowledge across event & tv production, sponsorships, marketing, business development & strategic partnerships.​In addition to being nominated for "Event Planner of the Year" by BizBash Magazine, Sabrina's events have been featured in the Globe & Mail, NUVO Magazine & Hello! Canada. She has also appeared in a number of TV shows on TVO, Rogers & Slice TV.​Sabrina is currently producing a number of inspiring unscripted series with RenderDocs - a division of award winning production company RenderMedia. We talk about:[0:00] Intro[15:20] How resentment developed for Sabrina when she decided to work for her husband[22:55] How her production series, Coach, came to be[25:50] Why we ignore the nudges we receive from Spirit/God/Universe[31:00] Why you don't need anyone's approval[37:00] The power of failure[43:20] How Sabrina navigated her dreams and being a mom[51:00] Tips to get back in balance as a family after COVID Loved this episode?

Okay friends, THIS is a question that really hit home for me.  As you'll know from listening to my podcast, my parenting journey wasn't always easy. Even though I have three AMAZING daughters, my own healing took our relationship into some dark places at different times throughout our lives…completely unintentionally! I love that Amy asked this question about how to help our kids while we're on our own healing journey as parents, and I'm so excited to share my thoughts with you because I've seriously learned SO much about this. So, how do we help our kids when we ourselves are on our own healing journey? First, let me say, you need to give yourself lots of compassion – this will go such a long way! I give you my best tips for navigating this, and we talk about:[3:10] The power in ‘taking pause'[4:00] How seeking professional help can help us navigate tumultuous times[6:00] My lowest point as a mom and what I did to move through it[9:00] The importance of meeting our kids where they're at[15:15] Engaging in hard conversations in times when you feel like you can't[22:15] Recap of my best tips to help you heal and build stronger relationships with your kids Loved this episode?

We had a very enjoyable time talking about what makes a successful marriage, how to raise good kids and the trash can we call dating these days.

The teenage years can be a daunting time for both adolescents and parents. That search for their own independence sometimes comes with frustration, bad attitudes, and a clear need for boundaries. So it's not uncommon for parents to feel at a loss for how to handle their teen during this transitional period. Reset checks in with author Shantelle Bisson who says the teen years don't have to be so difficult.

Alex and Shane discuss their side effects after getting the COVID vaccine, a surprise trip planned by Alex's dad, the deterioration of their dream front porch, and Paul Newman's salsa .    Shantelle Bisson, author and actress, shares her advice on "Parenting Your Teen Without Losing Your Cool." She discusses what we need to do as parents to prepare ourselves for teen problems, eating disorders, creating time for your partner, and handling classic and not-so-classic teen issues like sex, drugs, catfishing and sugar babies.   Amy Miller of @rollingthroughmotherhood is an intersectional birth worker. She discusses her experience as a queer and disabled mother, polyamorous family dynamics, shares how her pregnancy, birth, and postpartum journeys have been impacted by her intersectionality, and candidly addresses misconceptions about disabled parenting.   Listener questions are answered in the mailbag segment, hitting topics like phantom crying, who you go to for advice, whether or not the number of lovers your partner has had matters, how to make sex fun when you are struggling to conceive, and more!   . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .    This episode is proudly supported by:   The Dove Self Esteem Project is the worlds largest provider of self-esteem education.

Shantelle Bison, aka Chantal Craig, is an actress, producer, parenting expert, and regular contributor to Zoomer Magazine. She is also the author of Raising Your Kids Without Losing Your Cool. She owns Shantilly’s Place, a marina in Ontario’s Kawartha region, and along with her husband, Yannick, they raised three young adults. Since she was young, she has been digging deep and uncovering the best parts of herself. Together with her husband, they have built a life worth celebrating. Don’t miss out! You will surely enjoy this episode!

Hi Mamas, Welcome back to the show! This week, we have with us, Shantelle Bisson — an author, producer, parenting expert and regular contributor to Zoomer Magazine. She's also the owner of Shantilly's Place, a marina in Ontario's Kawartha region. She has raised three fully functioning young adults and splits her time between the lake, Toronto and Los Angeles. At the age four, she was drawn to the stage like a moth to a flame, and spent all kinds of time working in television and film, which eventually led to writing, a natural transition when working in the show biz. She launched her book, Raising Your Kids Without Losing Your Cool — the first of many from the series! And we, at YGTMedia Co, are super excited to be launching the second part in the Without Losing Your Cool series. Today's episode does a deep dive in Shantelle's world, her journey and how she came to be this powerhouse entrepreneur, wife, and mama that many see now. Spoiler alert—the glory is often within the grit and guts, and Shantelle's journey is one that will leave you feeling inspired and empowered. Many of us move through life, motherhood, relationships, and more on autopilot, almost mindlessly, day after day. Rarely do we pause with intention and ask ourselves the question — how do we want to lead? How do we want to live? And why? Shantelle's take on parenting is candid, refreshing, and gives every woman permission to own her motherhood with pride, sass, fun, love, and all the unapologetic vibes. All of the “hoods”—motherhood, parenthood, adulthood, wifehood don't happen in a predictable fashion. However, when they do come into our lives, it's worth fighting for. And that is where commitment, radical responsibility for how you show up in your life, and love leadership comes into play. Below are a few takeaways from today's episode: You will have many moments where you question yourself on everything-- if you're even cut out for love, marriage, parenthood. Listen to your gut, always. Don't let the voice in your head win. You can end the cycle and rewrite the narrative. Parenting and marriage are not a one-size-fits-all formula. Embrace your relationships. Keep communication open always, and lead with love. It's called real life, not reel-life. Live your life, Mama, beyond the highlight reel on social media. It won't always be perfect, but it's your beautiful chaos to embrace. Take time out to yourself, even if it's 10 minutes here and there. Claim your moments of creativity, rest, fun, and more. Nobody's going to hand it to you. Gratitude will always see you through. There's a lesson in every hardship and heartbreak. Turn your mess into your blessings. Be the parent your child needs you to be, and the one you desire to be. Embrace your wholeness—your mood swings, your laughter, your grief, your anger. There is nothing normal about the world we are currently living in. It's okay to feel how you feel. Give yourself permission to do just one thing a day, if that is all you can manage right now. There you have it, Mamas! I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode!
