Celebrating and spending some quality time this weekend with my family. Ohh this is Dave, my partner in life and biggest supporter of all my crazy ideas. 🤪 There is so much I could share about family and the challenges that I’ve faced (I should write a book) but all I know is this guy right has taught me everything I know about how to love at full capacity, stay true to yourself and share as if you have an infinite supply. He’s also the most driven entrepreneur and someone I try to emulate everyday. 💭 Wishing you all a Happy Easter and Passover celebration. Now go share more joy and laughter as if you have an infinite supply and stay close to those who raise you up. ✨ #countblessingsnotcalories
I am excited to spend this long weekend doing a few things that fill my cup- including Easter baking with my #zerowaste bulk supplies from @bulkbarnfoods. I grabbed my empty jars and was sure to add everyone’s favourite mini eggs to the mix. Duh. And yes, I put a limit on how many I put in my #BulkBarnBunnyBasket because I know myself. 😬 These paleo mini egg brownies are going to disappear quickly. Bulk barn has an Earth day promo on right now which encourages you to bring your own jars and save $$. Head over to their website and sign up for the email promotions so you can get your bulk on and help save the planet while you enjoy some brownies. You’re probably a multitasker too right? 🤣 But really, how many mini eggs is too many? Asking for a friend. #ad #bulkbarnshelfie #pinchtoapound
Paleo baking used to be so intimidating to me. I remember when I stopped eating gluten and dairy years ago, I felt like I’d never have another yummy donut again. 🍩 Donuts are my love language so I knew I had to find a way to get them back into my life. #lovelanguage Spring is in and I’m here for these lemon poppyseed paleo donuts right now ...I know you are too. 🍋 Pop over to my blog to grab this delicious and fibre packed recipe and impress yourself this weekend. What food helps you speak your love language?
Mmmh Hmm 👌🏼 #theyseeyou I’m inspired by you all, because humaning is tough and you make it look easy peasey on here. 🙋🏼 Comment below if agree.
Nothing makes me happier than a bowl of of my favourite veggies except helping people and empowering entrepreneurs to do the same. This weekend I had the chance to do both along side follow nutritionist Carley @truenorth.wellness and our special guest Jenn, Art Director and meal prep queen @theplantedone. It was our 3rd time hosting this event and we’re obsessed. We lead 50 wellness entrepreneurs through a 3 hour workshop focused on food photography, Instagram for business, standing out in a busy space, branding yourself and important things like mental health on social media, authenticity and staying true to your why. Participants snapped tons of content from 10 food stations sponsored by our friends at @organictraditions @summerhillmkt @rawelementsinc @rawcology @chasorganics @beekeepers_naturals @greenhousejuice and enjoyed swag bags from @thesweetpotatotoronto @teapigsca @madewithlocal @rawcology @rosedesigns.co.

We’re paws-itive Figgie has been the best thing that’s happened in our lives in a long time. 💯 We are both entrepreneurs, my partner and I and for the last 7 years things have been difficult to say the least. Between building our dream home, his Dad and me dealing with cancer at the same time, starting my second business and him travelling for work more than I liked...it’s been a lot. Adding a second dog has its unique set of challenges but @figgiethepotcake has grounded us so much and forced us to slow down, practice patience, and wake up before the sun. All things that make us better humans, entrepreneurs and dog owners. 💕 Plus rescues are incredible, thank you @helpaws for all you did for little Figgie back in St. Lucia. Sometimes the things you least expect bring you the most healing and joy exactly where you didn’t know you needed it. It’s also #nationalpetday so what’s your pets name and what’s their story? 🐾 💛
Practicing being myself for 33 years now and finally nailed it. 😆 Real talk~ it’s hard on here (social media) being yourself 💯 of the time. As an entrepreneur, creative, loving partner, friend and dog mom I feel certain pressures. Showing up as yourself and coming up with a creative ideas about how to share your passions and the things that you’re good at with the world is difficult. It takes practice and honest dialogue. My best piece of advice if you’re feeling overwhelmed/intimidated/exhausted right now, spend some more time with yourself and get back to your own personal why. Stop watching what others are doing and please don’t fake it till you make it. That’s so 1996. This weekend at our Food Photography and Branding for Social Media Workshop we deep dive into this, along with some great strategies for navigating mental health and social media. Plus the obvious things like food/product photography, editing, branding, algorithms, hashtags, stories, growing your audience and refining your message. Join Carley @truenorth.wellness, Jenn @theplantedone and myself for a jam packed 3 hours, 10 food stations and 50 wellness entrepreneurs for you to connect and socialize with at @free. 6 spots lefts so grab yours through my website now. So honest dialogue...how comfortable are you with being 100% yourself on social on a scale of 1-10?
