Canadian Olympian Andrea Schwartz Smith joins us to talk the sh#t out of sh#t….from being an elite athlete to a parent, entrepreneur and swim coach.

As a woman, now in her “joyful years”, her perspective is vital when it comes to goals and reasonable expectations. Andrea has some very serious wisdom to share.

What she learned, from the discipline of swimming, has kept her afloat in all areas of her life. We absorbed a lot from Andrea that when it comes to reasonable expectations and to just be #phucking kind to yourself.

What we loved most is that she listens to her body and mind. If she needs to swim, she swims. If she needs time for herself, she takes it. If she needs space, she seeks it.

Grab a coffee and hang out with us for an hour, as a gift to yourself.

Janet Gray – Advice-Only Financial Planner

SHOW Title:

Is the Economy Impacting Your Mental Health? You’re not alone!

Summary:

Financial uncertainty is brutal for our mental health. It’s one of those “big ones”...up there with death and divorce.

This week, Amy and Kimothy talk to our resident expert on The Inner Shift Podcast, Janet Gray, about how this time in history can impact everything from our current housing situation to our retirement which, for some, could even be decades down the road.

And then, there are the older kids who have so much financial stress that they are staying in the family home longer…so ya can’t sell it to downsize!

As we continue to talk the sh#t out of sh#t, we invite you to join us because YOU ARE NOT ALONE…and it helps to hear that from others…in our humble opinion.

Mourning before a death. Loss before they leave. Endings before Beginnings.

On this week's episode, just effing surviving before, during and after loss.

Sometimes you lose someone before they die, like with dementia. Sometimes you're out of a relationship before you know, or well after you should have. The hardest, most would admit, is mourning a child you lost....and then, living to care for another.

Today, we talk to a mother who lost a child and dedicated her life to helping others in anticipatory grief, real-time grief or living grief.

Don't know the difference? Stay with us...grab a coffee or whatever you want, and let's talk about women's mental health.

This Holistic Grief Coach Margaret Dennis, is here. She lost a child and moved into a life dedicated to grief empowerment for women. But, she says healing is just the beginning.

We talk to her about the steps to building your emotional fortress, finding peace in vulnerability...and just surviving while finding out how to thrive, in time.
