How do you juggle running a business & family? 🧿
I get asked this often...
The responsibilities of taking care of your family, your home and running & growing your business, doesn’t come easy, but it comes with its rewards.
The best decision I ever made in my life was to follow my passion & create a business. For years I worked my corporate job while building my business with the goal of being able to work completely online so I have more free time to be with my family, travel & do what I love.
The difference is, I trusted in where I was going & didn’t let my current circumstances be my excuse. I think longer term - always. I don’t operate in my current circumstances. I dont make investments on current circumstances & I dont make decisions on emotions that I am feeling right now. I make decisions on where I want to be a year from now, 3, 5 years from now.
But you need to have a winning mindset.
Going online is not only important, but turning your passion into an automated system is even more important.
It’s about making a short term grind into a long term success.
I see so many people aiming to reach 6-figures or already are, working the 1 on 1. Do you know how many hours that is in a week to reach those monetary goals? Sacrificing your time & energy for the money.
I also see many tying themselves up creating their own products for resale but have you ever thought or calculated your time into the price of your product? (Sadly many don’t)
Why not share the knowledge you have by showing people what you know and turn it into a passive system. You share what you love, reach more people & scale much quicker.
In my upcoming workshop, I will break down how to build, create, structure your knowledge into a digital automated system, while also learning the world of social media, how to grow & convert with a few simple strategies. (Register via LINK IN BIO)
Moms, mompreneurs, aspiring healers.... It’s time to go online where billions are spent everyday. You will never regret taking a leap of faith, but you will regret never taking the chance on yourself.
If you are ready - I will see you in the Live Workshop (free) startingMonday - Feb 5🙋🏻♀️
The weekend is almost here, any plans yet? ☃️ Many events are happening this weekend including a RCMP musical ride, a music + fireworks festival and more! 🔥
Feel free to share this post with your friends and family and to comment below if you know about other events happening this weekend as well 😁

🍔 February 18, 2015 - 10 years ago today, Andrew Hammond stepped between the pipes and ignited one of the greatest Cinderella stories in Ottawa Senators history.
🗓️ Feb 18, 2015: The Sens, sitting 14 points out of a playoff spot, turned to their third-string goalie after injuries to Craig Anderson and Robin Lehner. Enter Andrew “The Hamburglar” Hammond—a little-known backup who became a legend overnight.
🔥 The Streak That Shocked the NHL:
✔️ 20-1-2 record
✔️ 1.79 GAA, .941 SV%
✔️ Sens stormed into the playoffs
Fans threw McDonald’s burgers onto the ice. Hammond was gifted a lifetime supply of McDonald’s. Ottawa believed.
Though the magic ended in Round 1 vs. Montreal, the 2015 chase to the playoffs remains one of the most iconic moments in Sens history.

🐶❤️ Today is National Love Your Pet Day
Did you know?
When your dog sees you, their brain releases oxytocin, the same “love hormone” that humans produce when we feel affection. This amazing bond has been highlighted in research from the National Institutes of Health.
Here’s how it works:
• Mutual Gaze 👀
When you and your dog look into each other’s eyes, it triggers a release of oxytocin in both of you, strengthening your bond.
• Petting Sessions 🤲
Gentle petting and cuddling can boost oxytocin levels, enhancing feelings of love and trust between you and your furry friend.
The Science Behind the Love:
Studies have shown that interactions like eye contact and petting not only make us feel good but also have a biological basis, releasing oxytocin which promotes social bonding.

📖 A study from The University of Virginia found that people who dislike small talk tend to have higher IQs, stronger abstract reasoning skills, and a preference for deep, meaningful conversations.
🔍 The Science Behind It:
📌 Higher IQ, Deeper Conversations – The study found that individuals with an IQ above 120 were 67% more likely to say they find small talk “mentally exhausting” compared to those with an average IQ.
📌 Small Talk Drains, Not Stimulates – 82% of high-IQ participants reported feeling drained after engaging in small talk for more than 10 minutes, whereas only 38% of lower-IQ individuals felt the same way.
📌 Deep Conversations Increase Happiness – Researchers found that intelligent individuals feel happiest when discussing ideas, philosophy, or meaningful life experiences, rather than surface-level topics.
⚡ Why Do Smart People Hate Small Talk?
✅ Brain Craves Stimulation 🧠 – High-IQ individuals need mental depth. Small talk feels like “mental junk food” to them—not enough substance!
✅ Energy & Focus ⚡ – Engaging in deep conversations boosts dopamine levels, while small talk has been shown to increase mental fatigue.
✅ Quality Over Quantity 🤝 – Highly intelligent people tend to form fewer but deeper connections, preferring intellectual stimulation over casual chitchat.
BUT… Is Small Talk Actually Useless?
Not entirely! The study also found that small talk plays an important role in social bonding. Even super-intelligent people still use it as a gateway to deeper conversations.
💡 Takeaway: If you hate small talk, you’re probably wired for deeper thinking—but don’t dismiss it completely. It can still open doors to meaningful relationships 👯♀️

Home first to the people of the Algonquin Anishinabe Nation, Ottawa has been shaped by the history of Canada. Situated at the intersection of three rivers and two cities, we bring together the past and the future, city and nature, English, French, and Indigenous communities. We are the confluence of peoples and cultures that shaped Canada and, as its capital, we connect our citizens with the rest of the country and the world.
