That Doesn't Inspire Me

That Doesn’t Inspire Me

Posted on January 11, 2022January 5, 2022 by Heather

“I run a seven figure business.” This is the line that had me turn off an episode of a podcast three minutes in. I won’t say what the podcast was, but it was the first episode I’d started listening to and this line told me I didn’t want to listen to anymore. The host was READ MORE

We Need to Do Hard Things

We Need to Do Hard Things

Posted on December 9, 2021December 9, 2021 by Heather

Glennon Doyle frequently says, “We can do hard things”. I’ve been thinking about that idea a lot lately. We’ve all had times in our lives where we had to do hard things. I moved to a new country where the only person I knew was my then girlfriend, now wife. I gave birth to our READ MORE

A Year of Yes

Posted on December 7, 2021December 7, 2021 by Heather

I mentioned in the podcast episode that went live yesterday that I’ve been listening to the audio book of Shonda Rhimes Year of Yes. If you somehow don’t know who she is, she’s the creator and lead writer of Grey’s Anatomy, How to Get Away With Murder, Scandal, and Bridgerton. She’s also the producer and READ MORE

This will be brief because I’m starting my vacation tomorrow. That’s also why you won’t see a new post here until November 18th. On Monday, however, be sure to check out the Better Me Podcast to here my interview with gynaecologist / singer-songwriter (yes, you read that right) Kristina Dervaitis talking about her new album READ MORE

No Such Thing as a 'Best Before Date' For People

No Such Thing as a ‘Best Before Date’ For People

Posted on November 2, 2021November 1, 2021 by Heather

On Friday I’m recording a podcast with a musician named Kristina Dervaitis who recently released her first album on her 46th birthday. She and her husband, Barry recorded the album in a home studio throughout the pandemic. Prior to this, Dervaitis worked full time as a gynaecologist. She still has a part-time practice in addition READ MORE

Your Silence Serves No One

I just started reading Luvvie Ajayi Jones’s latest book Professional Trouble Maker: The Fear-Fighter Manual. I’ve wanted to read it since I saw this video a few months ago and finally got myself a copy last week. Take 11 minutes and watch this talk she gave at TED almost four years ago. You’ll be glad READ MORE

Ships In The Harbour

Ships In The Harbour

Posted on October 14, 2021October 14, 2021 by Heather

I was listening to Dave Hollis’s latest podcast episode and he was reading from his upcoming book Built Through Courage. In it, and in much of his work lately, he builds off of the quote A ship in a harbour is safe, but that’s not what ships are built for. John Shedd Hollis goes on READ MORE

This morning, the email message from Brendon Burchard recognized how hard the past almost two years have been and recommended making a list of five things that we’re looking forward to. He said that when he sat down to do this, he ended up writing for 40 minutes. I didn’t have that much time, but READ MORE

My family and I rented a cottage about two hours north of Saskatoon to just get away for the long weekend. More on that in another post, but today is still a vacation day for me so instead of writing a post, I’m going to share a video. This is a recording of a 2017 READ MORE

Hold On To That

Hold On To That

Posted on September 2, 2021August 31, 2021 by Heather

I’m almost fifty and I’ve spent half my life as a student in some kind of formal education. Much of my K-12 experience I hated. I was often bored in class so I didn’t pay attention, which left me lost much of the time. I always seemed to be a target of one of the READ MORE
