    #141 Running Towards Your Vision and Embodying Your Future Self

    Running Towards Your Vision and Embodying Your Future Self

    In this episode of The Well Podcast, Mandy explores themes of intentionality, vision, personal growth, why new-year resolutions don't stick and what to do instead.

    She emphasizes the importance of being aware of personal patterns that can potentially inhibit progress and standing firm with a commitment to change and personal goals. In a session filled with introspections and personal growth plans, Mandy encourages listeners to always run towards what they want, not away from what they don't want.

    In this episode you're encouraged to simplify, reflect on personal priorities, trust your path, celebrate your progress and most importantly, learn to trust yourself.

    #133 The Pleasure of Business with Robin Joy Hilton

    #133 The Pleasure of Business with Robin Joy Hilton

    In this episode we dive into the cost that burnout and running on empty is having on our ability to experience joy and pleasure and how to prioritize more pleasurable moments in life, business and in relationships.

     

    Robin Hilton (she/her) is a Pleasure-Based Online Business Strategist. Her lifelong passion is in supporting women to be their most authentic selves, to let their guard down so they can shine brightly and confidently in all areas of their lives but most importantly in their capacity to experience the joys of embodiment and sexual pleasure.

     

    Robin is known for making esoteric practice feel accessible and enjoyable for everyone, creating welcoming environments for self-development, holding impeccable space, and skillfully guiding her clients and students toward inviting pleasure as a foundation for running their businesses and sharing their very important work with the world. 

     

    Robin supports online business owners with strategic & systems support, launch strategy, and messaging alchemy. Her work bridges her expertise as a sex coach & yoga studio owner with the wisdom she’s gathered through running an online business for over 17 years. 

     

    Nothing thrills Robin more than to create opportunities for women to find clarity around how they want to FEEL when it comes to growing their body of work and sharing it with the world. 

     

    Robin lives in a small community situated on the territories of the nêhiyawak, Anihšināpēk, Dakota, Lakota, and Nakoda, and the homeland of the Métis/Michif Nation.  Her home & studio are on Treaty 4 lands. 

     

    Robin enjoys the simple pleasures of life: walks on the prairie, sipping a hot cup of tea, & pleasure-filled days at home working on her ever-expanding work. You can learn more at: https://robinjoy.ca

    #132 Choosing the Dream and Committing to the Process with Laurie Kellough

    #132 Choosing the Dream and Committing to the Process with Laurie Kellough

    Laurie Kellough is a brand and business strategist, an A+ conversationalist, and a lover of country music, all things western, and of course the Calgary Stampede.

     

    Laurie's lifelong passion for business began at the tender age of six when she asked her mom for a “Business Woman’s Package” for Christmas. From there she curated her very own store in the family living room with a price tag on everything from the chesterfield to the piano. Little did she know that she was crafting customer experiences and journey mapping long before these concepts became industry buzzwords.

     

    After earning a marketing degree from the University of Lethbridge she had her sights on a career in fashion, music, or sports marketing, but she unexpectedly found herself immersed in the world banking. Surprisingly, she discovered that helping people achieve their dreams and attain financial freedom was genuinely quite exhilarating.

     

    After that she joined one of the world's largest advertising agencies and then onto one of Canada's top workplaces. She had the opportunity to work on groundbreaking campaigns and solve complex industry challenges, all while building meaningful relationships with her leaders, teams, clients, and business owners across Alberta and beyond.

     

    4 years ago this past June Laurie decided to channel her 6 year old self and make the leap to entrepreneurship as a marketing consultant. Although it’s been challenging, and there have been a few tears and all nighters along the way, she’s never felt more confident or happy pursuing this dream.
