Hers too, for that matter. Husband is good for me. He is so good at marriage. Husband teaches me so much about what it feels like to be in a good relationship, it sometimes takes my breath away. One of the things Husband does is invite me to tell him when, from my perspective, something …
“Mommy, I think I need to play some street hockey.” When my littlest Junior Tribe Member was a little tyke, he was plagued with frequent, raging ear infections. His temperature spiked high, his ears hurt bad and he was sick. We would come back from the doctor’s, prescription in hand. The antibiotics hadn’t yet kicked …
Hal talks with people and he has his finger on the pulse of what people are saying. .And, as he said on today’s show, he doesn’t much care what other people think. That frees Hal to name topics that other people wonder about but don’t say out loud… Today, we spoke about how to …
Yesterday, during my weekly chat with Hal on 680CJOB, we talked about how real the impact of the death of a pet can be. As you’ll hear on the recording, one of the guys in the news room pooh-poohed the idea that the death of an animal is actually the death of a family member. …

Dear Little Ones, Yesterday, it was exactly a quarter century since I last heard your heart beats. It is exactly 25 years ago today that my world fell in and blew apart; simultaneously imploding and exploding. No heart beats one morning. Later that day, when I held you, you were both impossibly perfect, even in …
I’m a total self-professed TED and TEDx geek…I love all things TED(x). Talking at TEDxWinnipeg was a dream come true when I didn’t even have that as a realistic dream. That made the TEDx talk that I did this week completely and ridiculously intimidating for me, considering that I speak regularly at all sorts of events. …
It’s less than a week before TEDx Winnipeg 2018. I’m excited and nervous…and ready to enjoy the day, and then have it in my rear view mirror. I teach and lead and talk and facilitate often in my job–I led a full day retreat last weekend for 200 women and feel comfortable doing so. But …
Natalie finished her internship with us yesterday. She began seeing clients in fall. As interns are, she was eager to learn how therapy works in a therapy room after spending countless hours learning about therapy in a classroom, reading about it in books, and writing papers about it. Natalie soaked up the learning. Her …
