How To Join The Women’s Entrepreneurial Club

We do a Wordless Wednesday all the time, so today I thought we’d do a Flashback Friday. So many different social media “isms!”

Flashback to 2012, I was called upon as one of “America’s Ultimate Experts” to share my advice for budding female entrepreneurs in the latest issue of Woman’s World Magazine. If you are a woman thinking of starting your own business, here are some helpful tips and advice from some top experts. Entrepreneurship is not an easy journey.

#WomenOnTheFence Celebrates Its 5th Blogiversary!

Today we celebrate the 5th anniversary of a blog that was born out of feeling stuck, on the fence, alone, confused, and wanting to create a space for women to get inspired, get off the fence, grow, succeed and thrive. You have made that happen. I am grateful for this community who has stood by me in my darkest hours, my greatest triumphs, and given me a safe place to be authentic myself. You have also helped each other, and inspired each other into action. Never underestimate the power of a few simple words on a page.

This week, I celebrated our 5th blogiversary on my weekly segment on Global TV. We had much to celebrate this week… our blogging anniversary of course, and our co-host Camille’s engagement. I honored WomenOnTheFence’s blogging anniversary by sharing some blogging tips and tricks. So, if you are thinking of taking the dive, a few tricks of the trade…

Domestic Violence #WhyIStayed #WhyILeft

After TMZ released the video yesterday of Baltimore Ravens football player Ray Rice knocking his then girlfriend (now wife) unconscious with one single punch, victims of abuse began to come forward and tell their powerful stories in 140 characters or less: #WhyIStayed and #WhyILeft.

Their hashtags gave us a horrific but honest view into the dangerous and tragic world of domestic violence. They were gut-wreching to read.

Wordless Wednesday: U2 for ME2!

So, I know you’re probably wondering, what does THIS have to do with getting off the fence? And the truth is, it doesn’t. But when you’ve never won anything in your life, I mean ANYTHING (other than a subscription to Teen Beat magazine, which at 11, was better than winning the lotto), it’s cause for excitement!

Remembering Joan

Joan Rivers was a woman off the fence. She lived life on her own terms. She was ballsy, gutsy, ridiculous at times. She wasn’t afraid to speak her mind, and in fact, to her admission, her success came as a direct result. She was Simon Cowell before we even met Simon Cowell.

Erica’s Top 10 Favorite Products For a THRIVING Lifestyle

Happy September! I CANNOT believe Labour Day weekend has passed. To me, this time of year symbolizes the end of summer. I welcome Fall… I love a great big cozy sweater, a pair of skinnies and a good pair of leather boots. But fall means the beginning of our Montreal winters, which = INSANITY.

Children and Guns in America: Where Have We Gone Wrong?

Taking a LITTLE girl to a shooting range? To shoot a gun that shoots 600 rounds a minute? I’m speechless because this is all COMPLETELY ABSURD. Don’t we want our little girls to learn which sport is healthy and best for them? Don’t we want them to learn about their connection to this peaceful earth?

Meeting Barbara Walters and Sage Advice

It’s not everyday you get to meet trailblazers. Glass ceiling breakers. It’s not every day you get to meet people who were doing things FIRST. I have been fortunate enough to have met and interviewed some remarkable people over the years since starting this women’s lifestyle brand 5 years ago, next month.

Wordless Wednesday: Tremblant Living for the Loving

A few weeks ago, I had the great privilege of vacationing in Mont Tremblant, a beautiful vacation resort about 90 minutes north of Montreal in the Laurentian Mountains. My family has been skiing at Tremblant for years, and while we are used to going during the wintertime, this was our first vacation there during the summer.
