🎙️ Welcome to Sass & Small Talk: Reclaiming the Joy of Parenthood Beyond Burnout — Season 3, originally created with support from TELUS StoryHive

"I’ll start Monday."
Ever said that?

Or:
"Once the kids are older… once things calm down… once I have time."
We’ve all been there.

In Episode 2 of Sass & Small Talk: Reclaiming the Joy of Parenthood Beyond Burnout, I sit down with health coach and mama, Emily Bowman to talk about something a lot of us don’t say out loud:
💥 The shame of being “busy” but still sedentary.
💥 The pressure to bounce back, shrink down, or “get healthy” according to society’s lens.
💥 The grief of losing our old bodies—and the quiet power of learning to love our current ones.

This one’s not about diet hacks or hitting the gym at 5am.
It’s about releasing pressure, embracing what our bodies have carried us through, and redefining health our way.

Join Deb and Certified Fitness Coach, Emily Bowman of Nevaeh Jade Beauty and Wellness, as they explore personal wellness beyond societal norms. Emily shares her emotional, often isolating, journey from young caregiver to corporate burnout, igniting a passion for fitness and beauty as a wellness advocate in Victoria, BC. Tune in to discover ways of cultivating a healthy mindset, while enjoying Deb’s humorous attempts to master proper squat form as a way to fit movement into her chaotic schedule.

✨You’re not behind. You’re evolving.

S2 EPISODE 012 :: It's VDay - celebrate the beautiful concept of loving ourselves as women and mamas!

In this episode, there's NO. HOLDING. BACK.

Jannine Mackinnon, a community builder and advocate for all women, specializes in Women’s empowerment and female sexuality. She offers a safe space to challenge the social norms that we, as women and mothers, have been conditioned to accept as our reality.

But it doesn't have to be.

Did you know that women's empowerment goes beyond equal access, breaking gender bias, and feminism? It's all encompassing and it STARTS AT HOME with the decision ultimately being... our own. So let's talk about it!

9:24 - Let's Talk MAMA MARTYRDOM - understanding ourselves as women, resisting the temptation to fall into martyrdom.

22:55 - Let's Talk FEMINISM - challenging the "anything you can do, I can do better" approach celebrating where women differ.

26:13 - Let's Talk HORMONES - did you know we have superpowers that come alive at different points in our cycle?

32:19 - Let's talk RELATIONSHIPS - how the "transactional" approach to relationships, promotes disconnection.

And the part where your host talks a mile a minute, to offset her flushed cheeks. (you will LOVE this part mamas)

37:50 - Let's talk "ABOUT SEX, baby"- You will soon see (Youtube version), just how your favourite "PRUDE" (yours truly) is literally transformed in one sitting, as we "go there" in the world of self love, and tapping into our own needs.

Give yourselves the ultimate day of self-love, and a much deserved reset. Sit back, and be enlightened by a candid conversation that will blow your mind, open your eyes, and relieve all that pressure (heh, heh).
