In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Renee Bauer. An entrepreneur, author, peacemaker, and blended family aficionado. …and I am dedicated to helping you find your Happy Even After. I was born in the suburbs of Boston, Mass and I have an accent that loves to sneak out of my mouth when I’m excited, angry, or just because I spent a weekend with my family. I’ve won awards, faced my fear of public speaking, litigated cases in a courtroom, and grew a business from nothing but a folding table into a thriving family law firm in Connecticut. I’ve been divorced (twice) so I get it. I have an awesome son and 3 stepkids. I am now married to a man who is my partner in every sense of the word. …but those bumps and bruises along the way led me to the happiest, most complete, most purposeful version of myself today. I believe that doing the big, scary, uncomfortable thing can be the most rewarding and fulfilling experience of your life. In this episode we discuss divorce, mindset, coaching, podcasting, being a lawyer, leadership, divorce education and personal struggle.

Jen Gardiner Episode S01 EPS 205

Tuesday Jul 13, 2021
In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Jen Gardiner. Canadian actress, Jen Gardiner was born on March 13, 1984 in Kitchener, Canada and grew up in Wellesley, Ontario, Canada. Jen is best known for her role as Modwenna in 'Martyrs - The Chronicles of The Blood'. Growing up she always had a love for the arts but dreamed of becoming a doctor. Equal parts science nerd, artist and athlete she spent her elementary school years playing sports (soccer being her favourite), participating in musicals such as 'Oliver Twist' and 'The Wizard of Oz and learning as much as she could about the field of medicine. In high school the majority of her courses were geared towards becoming a doctor but her love for the arts and sports continued. She became the yearbook photographer and was constantly involved with choirs and the band which performed through-out Canada and the United States. She also took media studies, was involved in drama club and of course every year continued to play on a soccer team. Fast forward to after high-school, Jen was in a Michael’s craft-store with her Mom and saw an advertisement for cake-decorating classes. She started taking cake decorating classes as a hobby. Soon after her cakes were becoming so sought after it ended up turning into a career. She opened her first business at the age of 20 and from there built two successful businesses over the course of 15 years (one teaching online marketing from things she learned from her cake business and one for “done-for-you” cakes). Something still was missing though. So Jen started to pay heed to the same advice she gave her marketing clients that she coached, "What makes you come alive?" In this episode we discuss acting, changing paths, finding your passion, transformation, mindset shift and fear of judgement.

Julie Thayer & Andrea Wetzel Episode S01 EPS 203

Thursday Jul 08, 2021
In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guests are Julie Thayer and Andrea Wetzel. Julie has been a fitness enthusiast all her life. An athlete in her early years, her motto was “harder, stronger, faster!” and thus, her relationship with yoga was, shall we say, tenuous at best. A nagging curiosity compelled her repeatedly back to her mat, until she eventually began to embrace the idea that less is more. And then, she fell hard and fast for this yoga thing. Joyfully understanding, that connection to breath, mindful movement, and kind alignment, supports the integration of the whole and inspires vitality in all the magnificent layers of ones’ being physically, mentally, emotionally, energetically, and soulfully. Julie is a firm believer in becoming the champion of your own self-care and she will inspire you to discover your own capacity to cultivate an optimal state of being through your personal yoga practice, both on and off your mat. From a young age, Andrea always knew she wanted to be her own boss as she was the self-proclaimed President of “Andrea’s Business” — dreams do come true. When she was 7, she fell in love with horseback riding and in 2007, she was a member of the Canadian Dressage Young Rider Team where she competed for Canada. For 18 years, horseback riding was her life — it taught her discipline + responsibility, and it was her first introduction to goal setting. Who she was as a rider, shaped her into who she would be as a leader. This translated well into her management career at lululemon for 4 years, where she developed her own leadership style. She loved the idea of helping people set achievable + rewarding goals, which led her to pursue life coaching and became a certified life coach + owns her own business — Ambitious Soul Coaching. Andrea specializes in goal setting + using positive self talk to shift your habits. She is a firm believer in speaking kindly to yourself. In this episode we discuss coaching, flipping the narrative, yoga, fitness, resiliency, leadhership amplified, fear, awareness and being your own superhero.

In the latest episode of the Empowerography Podcast, my guest is Antonia Amede. In September of 2019, which was a very exciting year for Antonia, as she had also gotten married, Antonia began officially working for TTC as a transit operator. Unfortunately, that was short lived as she ended up getting into an accident and therefore her position was terminated. Antonia was devastated as she was grateful to have landed a career with TTC and saw it as an opportunity to turn her financial situation around and give her kids the life they deserved- the life she never had. She started to feel really depressed and there were even days where she did not want to get out of bed. That quickly changed when Antonia and her husband found out they were expecting yet another child. At that point Antonia felt like she had a choice to make; she could either continue to feel depressed and dwell on circumstances she couldn't change, or she could purpose in her heart and mind to do better with and take advantage of every day and every opportunity. By the beginning of 2020 everything was starting to change due to COVID-19 and during that time Antonia and was able to reflect was coming more to terms with the fact that she was most likely going to be a stay-at-home mom. She was also able to get in touch with her creative side. She started creating handmade soaps and lip balms at home with her kids and she really enjoyed doing it! As she started getting better, she gave samples to some close friends and received incredibly positive feedback! Be that as it may, Antonia did not think of turning her hobby into a business until late November of 2020, after intense research and serious consideration. December 16th 2020, Antonia courageously founded Gloss Haven, a handmade vegan and cruelty free lip gloss line. Gloss Haven’s mission is handmaking lip care products with originality, innovation and creativity. Antonia hopes to inspire others, especially young women, to never give up even when things don't go as planned. She believes that everyone has a purpose, even if that purpose may not be what an individual initially had in mind. She wants to encourage others to be patient with themselves and to also be open minded, all while having faith and trusting the process! In this episode we discuss, lip gloss, fear, bullying, starting a business, giving back, self-care, self-awareness and mindset.
