Fascinating Women

Joanne has an interesting arc; she has entwined her entrepreneurship into her love of helping people. More of a passion. She explains how that works, how she grew through the loss of a marriage—taking us on the road of avoiding being a biz person to finding a way to make it fit. She has some of her own personally created quotes to keep her focused.

Special Podcast on Long-term Pain Management
Pain, what a pain pain is. Carol has had several life events that triggered long-term pain. It has been a lot for one person. That she is remarkably outgoing, positive and smiling speaks to what she has learned so tricks and approaches to living with pain, even overcoming it enough that she can live a life, laugh often and engage the world. 
This is a conversation you can apply to your pain now.

Carol Pedersen:
I was born and raised in Calgary. I grew up in an environment of sexual and emotional abuse.  I survived Ovarian Cancer at the age of 20. I had 11 more abdominal surgeries to remove scar tissue and adhesions. I was on Morphine for 20 years to manage my pain; it was a living death.  I have lived with debilitating illness and severe chronic pain for over 30 years. 

In my youth, I was a ballroom dancer and Ice dancer. I became a hairdresser at 18. In my 30's, I went back to school and earned my legal secretarial degree. 

At 50, I chose natural methods to combat my pain and CBD cannabis oil was my miracle. I was doing well, getting my life back. Then in 2020, I was sexually assaulted, which derailed my recovery and left me with permanent damage.

I have endured decades of severe chronic pain and illness, which will limit me for the rest of my life. No matter how many challenges I encounter, I conquer them with a never give up attitude. I face each day with gratitude, humour, courage, faith, love, compassion, happiness, joy, a positive attitude, a strong mindset, hope, and strength. God built me into a warrior.

I have been so blessed with so many gifts in my life. Mark Laurie, and my photoshoot with him was one of them. It changed my life. It helped me to remove years of trauma and shame. 

I hope by sharing my story I can help others out the darkness I was trapped in for so many years.

Hi, this is a very interesting conversation with Megan. She talks about how a chance encounter with a man changed her life 180 degrees instantly and how her youngest daughter's health issue changed her life direction again.  She talks about two women, complete opposites in most ways; role models gave her a template on how to shape her own character.  

There is a rare gem on building life long friendships.

Megan brings such enthusiasm and insights to our conversation. I think you will really enjoy listening in on our chat.

Kenisha Mei is a woman falling into her future. She left a  life full of family issues as a young teen, became an Alberta nurse working up north, married, then divorced but got the two most precious young girls from it. She talks about her struggles, hopes, surprises, and the role she has merged into by building a new community. She is clever but does not see what others do; she tells how she is learning too, finding self-acceptance, 

You might find a lot of you in her story, please join us.


Kinesha Mei
Many see me as a leader; others see me as a caring nurse; I myself am struggling to juggle all
of life’s never-ending challenges, including being a single mother. A nursing colleague of mine
shared with me years ago that Kenisha means a bright shining star in Filipino. This is what I
strive to embody every day through my work in bringing health and wellness to people. The light that brings hope and guides others to a healthier future through community support. I’m the founder of YYC ROCKS, which stands for Rebuilding Our Community with Kindness and
Sustainability is an organization focused on helping people find true healing through love, unity, and an understanding that they hold the keys to their own health & wellness. My passion for creating change began when I was young, but like many who have lost their job due to the “pandemic’, I realized I had a purpose beyond being a nurse. Being forced to take the vaccine caused a pivotal change for myself and my family. It was in that moment, watching the timer count down to be “vaccinated,” that I broke down. Tears streamed down my face as my young daughters hugged me, asking why I was crying; I realized not just for myself but for them that I needed to stand up for my belief in body autonomy, freedom to choose, and to be that voice for justice & equality. I feel so blessed every day to be able to connect with others who have similar values and morals, to be part of a community that is focused on growing and evolving with one another, and to know that we are never alone because through love, strength and unity we can heal as one.

Reach out and connect with her.

My Chat with Marlene went places we don't normally go. We explored how she so easily shifted careers, Quotes and people who still inspire her. What makes her strive to help people. We got into where her curiosity has taken her, which took us into some interesting and useful deep concepts on being centered, authentic and personally accountable. I think your curiosity will enjoy this conversation.

Marlene Cameron, MBA, CFA, CPC

Marlene had always been someone that from the outside looked like she had it all together.  A six-figure interior design consulting business owner at age thirty, later a business and financial analyst, and then an award-winning business coach.   She shifted into the leading-edge field of energy psychology and become a master trainer, certifying coaches and therapists in a world-renown tapping technique.  

Behind closed doors, she felt like an impostor, attempting to hide her self-doubt and need to present an image of confidence and self-assurance that did not feel authentic.  She realized she needed to do her own work in order to help others discover their true essence, inner wisdom and personal power.   In her quest to support her clients’ emotional well-being and resolve her own anxiety, she discovered what for her the missing piece to freedom from her own insecurity.   The Three Principles represent new understanding of our innate capacity for insightful clarity, natural confidence and unwavering resiliency that are at the core of every human being.

She now shares this knowledge with women in business so that they too discover unshakeable confidence and trust in themselves, and an unwavering capacity to take risks that bring freedom and success.

When not learning, working with clients or being coached herself, Marlene is a golfer by day and tango dancer by night.

In this chat with Amanda, I was surprised to learn she had gone through Calgary firefighter training but was too young to follow through so she trained with the Calgary Police Academy, passed before she decided that too was not for her. She talks about the evolution and start of her drawing passion, How her values or definition of what success is for did a complete flip.

She is a new mom so we explore how that has changed her life and her viewpoint.   Her modelling, which I started off with an early photo session of her.  How she made her obsessive drive work for her. I think you will enjoy listing to this young woman setting her life out.
