COFFEE + CONCEALER PODCAST

Hey babes! 

Today we are talking with Kristal Hawryluk  (Luckyfin_mamaof2) who's son was born with a limb difference and she has taken this journey and created a foundation where she fundraises to raise money to go towards an amazing Genetic Centre that will open here in Calgary once the funds are raised. This centre would allow parents who are going through the same circumstances to get answers faster and to not have to wait months.

We discuss Brady's story and what it all entails and how their mantra of "All Different, All The Same" is something they are trying to get into everyones hearts. 

We encourage you to listen, in some spots the audio has glitches but we decided that in the full discussion, the real conversation with Kristal (even with the audio glitches) was well worth keeping it in its original form!!

Hey babes! {Disclaimer: We discuss miscarriage and infant loss in detail. We do so in a loving way but the disclaimer needs to be there. If this isnt a topic you can listen to or it is a trigger for you, we respect that completely. We will see you on the next episode}

Today we are talking with Margarita Macias who is a dear friend and mama of two little sweet kids here on earth and one little angel in heaven. She is a business owner of a little boutique as well as a working mama. She also is an insanely talented singer as well as an advocate for Miscarriage and loss as she has gone through a horrific situation that I do feel so many of you will resonate with.

We also discuss the local incidents that have been happening here in Calgary lately as she had an experience herself.

This is a lengthy episode but we promise its worth the listen. Its deep dive into some topics that are hard to hear but if you or someone you know is experiencing a loss, this just may help you understand how to help them.

Today's episode is a personal one for me. I open up about my relationship with my own father and how I came to terms with removing him from my life. Its not an easy discussion but if you are struggling with someone like this in your life, I highly suggest you give this one a listen. We can get through this together, I promise. 

Much Love

Today I talked to Aimee Hennessy of Inner Beauty Bestie and we chatted about how we can get lost after having children, we feel like we are in the thick of it and how we feel no one cares about us. We chat about postpartum and how that can effect us as women and also the boxes we put ourselves in due to society. We talked about how to change our mindset in different ways, how to put ourselves first, care about ourselves, all while still being amazing mama's and loving our families and us equally!
