#WisdomWednesday from Oprah

Been thinking a lot about this lately.

How many people can actually say what they want out loud? Like REALLY want? It takes a lot of guts, a lot of intuition, and a lot of working on yourself. But when you say what you want and what you need OUT LOUD- it becomes something tactile. It becomes something to work towards. It becomes a reason to get up in the morning. I dare you to declare what you want. In fact, I dare you to tell me. Email me at [email protected] – I would love to hear what you really want for yourself in your life. It’s an exercise in manifesting your dreams and happiness.

Happy Wisdom Wednesday.

Leaning In, Opting Out, and Living a F@ck Yes Life

This post is based on a talk I presented for my colleagues at InkHouse, the PR agency where I work, on August 11, 2016.

In the spring, I received an email in my inbox from our CEO and co-founder inviting us to present a talk (and hone our presentation skills) with our colleagues as the audience. Please submit a topic, it said, by this date. Uninspired, I let the deadline slip by.

“Did you submit a topic?” was the question of the day. I hadn’t and that felt fine to me.

The day after submissions were due, this showed up in my early morning Twitter feed:

How a Self-Portrait Changed My Life

There was a time when I was feeling drained, depleted, small, powerless, isolated and unhappy with myself.

But then I took a self-portrait. And the person I came face to face with was a strong, powerful, capable, brave, beautiful, successful woman. I couldn’t believe she was me.

“That one photograph opened my eyes to a whole new world.”

That photograph opened my eyes to a whole new world. That photograph awakened something in my soul and led me to my journey of self-realization.

Make It One More For The Road

This morning, on a rainy Wednesday morning in June, I had my last weekly TV segment with Camille Ross. Let’s just say I cry during Hallmark commercials, so I was worried I wouldn’t be able to keep it together.

Camille and I met after we auditioned 3 1/3 years ago, and got the jobs on a brand new morning show on Global TV. Camille as the co-host, me as the weekly lifestyle and parenting correspondent. We became instant friends, and I think viewers at home could feel our true chemistry.

In honor of Camille’s departure to London Ontario to move with her new husband, we created a trip down memory lane this morning and our favorite tv moments together from the past 3 1/2 years each and every week.

Great Summer Reads for Women!

On last week’s Global TV segment, I shared eight great summer reads. In the fall, I had included something for every woman: fiction, non-fiction, laugh-out-loud funny, witty, heartwarming, and a heart-pounding thriller. For the summer though, I kept it a little lighter. We don’t have to be serious ALL THE TIME. 😉 Sometimes it’s okay for Calgon to take us away.

Here is the segment on some great summer reads. As you can see, I also highly suggest you see the movie Joy. How incredible… 😉

SHE IS SOMEONE

“After the conviction of Stanford rapistalready been shortened to only four months) and the haunting letter his victim read to him in court, the social media sphere has been rife with conversations about how sexual assault is handled terribly in the U.S.

SHE SAID, SHE SAID: A Women’s Luncheon in Montreal

Hi Girls,

I normally don’t share events in advance on this blog (only afterwards once I have learning to share with you), but I wanted to get you before you missed it.

For my Montreal women, I am giving a Work Life Balance Lunch and Learn with fellow entrepreneur and life coach Sonia Zarbatany.

This will be a candid, honest conversation with tips and takeaways.

If you’re a woman in Montreal, come join the modern conversation on work life balance and dancing thought the chaos at SHE SAID SHE SAID on June 15th at Ogilvy in Montreal. We’re sharing our best tips and strategies as two certified life coaches, entrepreneurs and mothers. This is a women’s philanthropy event through Federation CJA.

The Sum of our Parts

Unless you’ve been very, very lucky, chances are your life has been affected by some tragic event. A childhood friend of mine lost her mom at 13 and the emotional seismic waves of a loss so profound can still be felt, even now, 30ish years later. Another friend who has been very close since we were tweens (though my battle with acne always trumped hers?—?why???) looks in the mirror at her gorgeous, strong, post-child-bearing yet slim body and feels self-loathing. There are no words that help, no love strong enough from the outside, so she continues to work on her inner “stuff.” Others have gone through employment problems, kid issues, divorce, and the list is endless.

Erica Diamond and #HADRY Featured In The Financial Post

In the post-infomercial age, inventors grapple with getting the word out about their products

If you’re a woman with long hair who likes to swim, Erica Diamond is pretty sure you want her new product, the Hadry, a humidity-resistant hair cover that looks similar to a turban or do-rag.

The Montreal-based entrepreneur got the idea for the Hadry after seeing a young woman playing with her son in a pool while wearing a shower cap to keep her hair dry. Realizing there might be a market for a more fashionable solution, Diamond got in touch with a manufacturer and launched a business.
