EP 95: The Truth About Gut Health, Constipation, and Detoxes with Dr. Liz Dalglish ND (opens the original)
Read excerpt
You don't need to detox. Your liver's already handling it. This week I'm talking with Dr. Liz Dalglish, a naturopathic doctor and gut health specialist practicing in Barrie (Rooted and Blue Haven Wellness) about what's actually behind chronic bloating and constipation, why so much of the wellness advice online is garbage, and why letting go of "doing it perfectly" might be the most useful health advice you get all year. We also talk motherhood, running a practice with a five-month-old at home, a
EP 94: What Caterpillars Can Teach You About Rebranding (Yes Really) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most people know a caterpillar becomes a butterfly. What most people don't know is that it has to completely dissolve first. Ashley Wyatt, founder of Monarch Design Co., uses this metaphor to explain the "mush stage" — the messy middle where established service providers feel like they've outgrown their brand but haven't figured out what's next. She breaks down why that discomfort is a sign something is working, not a sign you're doing something wrong, and why the fix isn't a fast rebrand but fi

EP 92: From Accidental Business to Booked-Out Shopify Studio with Heidi Ewert from Endswell Studio (opens the original)

We met building handmade businesses, lost touch a little, and reconnected once we were both deep in the world of creative entrepreneurship. Since then we've collaborated in both directions: she's brought me in for branding, I've brought her in for Shopify development. Most recently we worked together on a project for Libs Elliott, where I built the brand and Heidi turned it into one of the mo
EP 91: 5 Signs You've Outgrown Your Brand, Even If It's Not Embarrassing You Yet (opens the original)
Read excerpt
That quiet feeling where your brand still "works," but you don't reach for it the way you used to? That's what this episode is about. I'm walking through five signs you've outgrown your brand, before it ever gets to the point of embarrassment. This is for service providers who are booked, respected, and doing great work, and still feel a strange friction they can't name. Inside this episode: The hesitation test: what it means when you pause before sending someone to your site Why mismatched touc
