I wasn't sure how my radio audience would react to Mark Brand. It turns out they loved him. Mark's background includes drugs, alcohol, nights on the street, and because of all he is unapologetic, unabashed, and unforgiving. Mark is a force of human nature and the founder of Better Life Foundation. He uses capitalism and being a restaurant operator as his platform to arm himself as a justice warrior. His innovative approach to breathing life into struggling neighbourhoods is being studied and adopted by the United Nations. Mark is a great interview, and his life lessons teach us that our path forward must be lit by a North Star that extends beyond profit.

We are not our ruptures. We are the loving awareness that the rupture is existing within and when we can tap into our spacious awareness and view the rupture through our loving hearts, it transcends it, it shifts it, it helps it amalgamate, and move the timeline from this rupture that's three years old that's angry at the world into this adult who knows better. - Samantha Skelly   Wellness Force Radio Episode 387 Creator of Pause Breathwork, Host of The Sam Skelly Show, and Founder of Hungry for Happiness, Samantha Skelly, shares how you can access somatic healing and reclaim your inner peace with breathwork, her philosophy that "you are the medicine," how to deprogram your childhood, and her mission to disintegrate the dependency model.

In her own organizing journey she's learned that there's no cookie-cutter, one-size fits all solution to getting organized and that organizing is not a destination, it's a journey and here's why… Life transitions happen. After being laid off at her corporate job it was her life ticket to pursue her dream of launching an organizing business. In the beginning there were many new systems and processes to be set up and as her business grew and the need to be mobile, she had to update her systems to work smarter, not harder.  Sherry was already highly organized and it was time to take her skills to the next level. She also learned that what works for her may not work for someone else. Within the first year of business it was clear that paper clutter and filing systems was the #1 issue her clients had both at work and at home. Email and computer file clutter was a close second. Sherry knew from her experience that A to Z filing systems breakdown over time, company year ends create lots of archive boxes and gathering papers for tax time is very stressful for many people. So she set out to find a better solution. Today, Sherry is the exclusive trainer for the Paper Tiger filing system and developed a certification program of experts. She's helped 1000's of businesses and homeowners set up filing and archive systems so they can find files fast and transform spaces faster than you can do it yourself! She also helped people get their Inbox to zero and establish best practices for email overload, records management and time management strategies to take their performance to the next level. Sherry's been featured on HGTV Makeover Wish, CKNW Radio and eWomenNetwork Radio. She is in other popular publications like The Huffington Post, Style at Home, BC Business, Staples, Martha Stewart Whole Living, The Globe and Mail, Women's Health Magazine, Office Depot and The Vancouver Sun and The National Post. Her clients include entrepreneurs, executives, working moms, and her advice, products and training have been sought after by Vancity, Earls Restaurant, CPA Canada, National Research Council, Simon Fraser University, UBC, Western Economic Diversification, Small Business BC, Curves, Grand & Toy, BC Rail, First Nations Communities, Erickson College, HUB International, Mellon Financial, and 1000's of people globally conquering their clutter. Sherry is the Founder and Past Chair of Professional Organizers of Canada (BC Chapter), a Certified Professional Coach, and volunteers for Dress Success and church organizations.

Today's guest is returning for her second time on the show AND happens to be one of my best friends on the planet, Samantha Skelly. Sam specializes in helping women recover from binge eating and in this episode we dive into that as well as other binge and restrictive behaviors. We talk about the resistance and coping mechanism aspect of these behaviors, why we develop them in the first place, how to love the parts of ourselves that choose those things. We also got into radical transformation and what it actually means, takes, and requires (hint: we're not quick fix or band aid on bullet wound type people, we're talking LONG TERM, sustainable strategies here.) We also spent a lot of time talking about shame, so whether or not binge eating is a thing for you - you can apply what we cover in today's episode to a variety of contexts. Enjoy!

Founder of SoleGirls, Ashley Wiles shares how she and her team are empowering girls aged 8 through 12 (tweens) with tools to develop healthy ideas about body image, media, healthy living, peers, and more. After being bullied and experiencing anxiety and depression, Ashley found herself struggling with her own body image and confidence like never before. She then came across an online video that went viral in 2012. It was by Amanda Todd, a 15 year old girl who was bullied and had severe anxiety and depression - to the extent that she committed suicide.   Ashley recognized that she needed to do something so that she didn't end up following that same path as Amanda. Incorporating her love of running and helping others, she launched Sole Girls and since then has empowered over 1000 girls in the past 4 years to make values-based decisions, learn to love physical activity and love living life.   In today's interview with us, Ashley shares how their program works, the impact it's making, and how they are creating a safe place for girls to connect and have fun.   Based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, Sole Girls has opened 14 locations in 4 years, and has now expanded to Australia.  They offer 9-week running programs, as well as camps and workshops.  Their volunteer mentors and coaches are trained through their Leadhership program, which is set to go online in February (2017), to meet the demand for licensees from countries around the world. Key Takeaways 1) You are not your thoughts 2) Kids pick up everything you say and do 3) Start where you're at and find your own happy pace 4) Change your story, change your life 5) Live with SOLE values = Support, Open-minded, Love, Enthusiasm   Ashley Wiles Bio Ashley Wiles is the Founder and Head Coach of Sole Girls, a Youth Speaker, Life Coach, two-time Iron (wo)man, Ironman 70.3 World Championship competitor, and Mental Health Advocate. Growing up with a family of runners, Ashley started running at 5 years old, and now runs and competes in triathlons around the world. After seeing Amanda Todd's video in 2012, she created Sole Girls, a program for girls to build their confidence, connect with mentors and combine that with a love for physical activity. Sole Girls has empowered over 1000 girls in the past 4 years and Ashley was named top 10 young entrepreneurs to watch in Vancouver by the Globe and Mail and top 5 motivators in Canada by Impact Magazine, and recently the Most Inspiring Coach in North America by Brooks Running. She has spoken At TedxKidsBC, Rogers Arena, SheTalks, as well as schools in Canada and abroad.

Samantha Skelly is Canada’s leading emotional eating expert and the founder of Hungry For Happiness, a movement to support women around the world who are suffering from disordered eating and body image issues. She is a award winning, sought out international speaker who delivers inspirational presentations to empower those who struggle with the relationship they have to food and their bodies. Samantha has appeared on Global TV, Shaw, NBC and CBC to share her mission on an international platform. Hungry For Happiness creates online accessible and affordable recovery resources to those who are suffering in silence. Samantha was awarded ‘Top 24 under 24’ in September 2013, In 2014 she was a finalist as the ‘Best Emerging Entrepreneur’ by Small Business BC. Samantha aims to create a disruptive company in the eating disorder recovery space. Her vision is to create the largest and most impactful online resource to support those who’s lives are negatively affected by issues with food and their bodies. For the majority of her childhood, Samantha was a stunt-double, dancer and child actress. “If I wasn't on stage, I was in front of the camera.” Everyone at school looked at Samantha like she had the coolest life, but to her it was normalcy. At the age of 14, Samantha auditioned and was chosen for a stunt-double role on the well known show, “Smallville.” But it was by age 18, that she wasn't even too sure of who the REAL Samantha was… “I hit this wall where I didn't even know who I was besides a dancer and an actress.” It was in that moment, where she decided that her future education wouldn’t be determined through a degree, but more from real life instances and traveling. Lucky for Samantha, her supportive parents were all for it. Moving to Australia, by herself, it was time to start the search for the real Samantha. Knowing no one and not even sure where to begin to “find herself,” she became obsessive with her body image and dieting. Being in a foreign land, it seemed to be the only thing she had any control over. “I become so obsessive, that I found myself in the hospital after depriving myself of food and only eating about 4 tablespoons of yogurt a day.” Not having found what she set out for, Samantha’s next move was England. Becoming a personal trainer there, she found it ironic that she enjoyed helping people get healthy, but behind the scenes she was slowly killing herself. “I would weigh myself up to 20 times a day.” Whether it be over eating or not eating enough or even just not completely and wholly loving the person in the mirror when we walk by, I feel like every one of us can somehow relate to where Samantha speaks from. “Connecting our worthiness to our bodies can be really intense.” Seeking a help coach and learning that it is okay to spend some time on your own, Samantha began to find healing through meditation. “The most confronting thing I ever had to do, was close my eyes and really get into my own body.” Samantha teaches us that waking up each day with a new mindset is the first and best habit to get into, no matter the issue! Pretending that we are already “there,” that we are already at our goal, will teach our bodies to feeling and live those positive side effects.
