Wondering what lies at the intersection of your gut health, diet, and overall wellbeing? Join us as we decode this with Reneè Barash, the Tummy Whisperer, a certified digestive health coach who has made it her mission to help people understand the myriad connections between gut health and facets of our life including sleep patterns, skin conditions, and hormonal balance. We delve into the possible role a Western diet and genetically modified foods play on our bodies and underline the significance of a clean lifestyle for a healthier gut. Whatever that means for you. 

Next, we tackle an age-old question: what is the relationship between our mind and our digestive health? The answer might surprise you! We discuss the importance of a balanced diet, but also highlight how our minds and even our emotions can influence gut health. In a fascinating twist, we also explore the role of sound and energy in healing and relaxation; with a few simple tips. Reneé takes a very personalized approach to discover the right path each person needs to optimize their body systems. She encourages the opportunity to look beyond traditional medical tests and consider other factors like stress and diet, in the quest for achieving a balanced state.

Lastly, we take a deep dive into the more intricate aspects of health. We discuss how our bodies hold onto trauma and negative emotions, and how that impacts our physical health. We also confront the challenge of navigating through the overwhelming amount of dietary information and debunking a few myths that are doing the rounds. Reneé emphasizes the power of intuition in health and the need to experiment with different foods to discover what works best for us. This is an enlightening discussion, that is quite literally, food for thought!

At once current and timeless, "Just Another Lucky Day" calls out the behaviour of certain people in power and delves into the challenges faced by a divided society, while maintaining a deep warmth and strong melodic foundation.

In addition to the interview, you'll also hear Andy and Josh perform two songs: "City of Sirens" (City of Sirens 2023 + Andy Maize'sThe History of Forgetting, 2010 ) and—from the brand new EP Bide Your Time—"Just Another Lucky Day".

Andy Maize and Josh Finlayson are masters of embracing change and evolution in the creative process. Track 6—“Come to My Senses”—is an example of their ability to keep moving forward, and making music that is fresh, relevant, but still authentic to who they are.

In this episode, they reveal how a song written years ago, blossomed in the recording studio with the help of a solid bass line, great musicians (such as trumpet player Daniel Lapp), and a fruitful collaboration with producer and multi-instrumentalist Joby Baker.

In addition to the interview, you'll also hear Andy and Josh perform two songs: "Come to My Senses" (Hide Your Light, 2023) and "Warmth of the Sun" (Warmth of the Sun, 2017). Both tracks are recorded by Tim Vesely, live-off-the-floor at the Woodshed Studio in Toronto.

Episode 1 of Employee of the Myth  features Ronnie Lane's "Debris", the opening track on Skydiggers' new EP, Hide Your Light.

“If you’ll learn to play an instrument you will always have a friend.” A solid piece of advice from Stanley Lane to his son Ronnie, who would take that advice and turn it into a career writing songs and playing with seminal British bands the Small Faces, Faces and Slim Chance. This is our tip of the cap to the late, great, Ronnie Lane and his tribute to his father.

In addition to the interview, you'll also hear Andy and Josh perform two songs: "Debris”, by Ronnie Lane (Hide Your Light 2023), and "You've Got a Lot of Nerve", by Andrew Cash (Road Radio, 1995). Both tracks are recorded by Tim Vesely, live-off-the-floor at the Woodshed Studio in Toronto.

We are back!!! Sorry for the long layoff, but at least we came back with some heat! This was an extremely fun topic as we all love to speak on love and relationships.  Book is titled "I GOT YOU"  By: Rob hill. 

Don Kerr is a drummer, singer, songwriter, cellist, composer, and producer. He's also a pacifist/activist, who believes strongly in the power of positivity and the value of community. A much-sought-after sideman and bandmate since the 1990s, he has performed with Rheostatics, Ron Sexsmith, Bahamas, Dan Mangan, The Weather Station, and many others.

Don's own band—Communism—is a super-charged power trio, renowned for their "dance-your-face-off" live shows, for which Don performs using a DIY stand-up drum kit, fashioned to create a more dynamic presentation.  The result (in combination with video, lights, and lasers) is a visually arresting, sonically exhilarating, and uplifting experience..

Despite our differences as humans, Don Kerr believes that we're all good at heart, and capable of love, change, and...dancing up a storm.  Don looks for the up sides, and talks about how the pandemic allowed his band—at home with no tours planned—the time to create a sonically rich, layered, and exploratory album. The result is Love Speech : 10 tracks dedicated to "...dancing with love in your heart." Don also shares his thoughts on being a "pacifist at war", balancing family and work, composing the soundtrack for The Colour of Ink documentary, and what "communism" means to him.

Later in the episode, musician, engineer and Music Buddy Sessions producer Tim Vesely joins the conversation. Don and Tim compare notes about drums and bass, and the early days playing with Ron Sexsmith and Rheostatics.

Singer Songwriter Jerry Leger is the real deal. His combination of authentic humility and spirited self confidence is a rare thing to witness. He possesses a deep understanding and respect for the great songwriters and performers of our time, while forging ahead with his own style and delivery.

Since his teenage years, Jerry has worked relentlessly on his craft - releasing at least one album a year, always with another gig or a new project on the horizon. On any given night, you can find him performing with his band The Situation, his rock and roll outfit The Del Fi's, or holding the crowd on his own - just him and a guitar.

This episode we break down the movie "IN TIME" starring Justin Timberlake. We loved the movie and found extremely entertaining topics to discuss. Remember people time waits for no man! 

Simon Paradis is an accomplished roots/rock musician, having played in bands across Canada for over 30 years. One morning in 2008, while working his construction job on the Sunshine Coast in B.C.,  Simon fell off a scaffold and landed on the pavement below, resulting in massive brain and spinal cord trauma. He and his band The Precious Littles were set to release a new album that weekend at the Vancouver Island Music Festival, one that would hopefully gain them some notoriety and enable Simon to spend less time on the job site, and more time focused on his music. Things were going to change... They did, but not the way Simon expected.   

In her 2015 book Fallen: A Trauma, A Marriage, and the Transformative Power of Music, Simon’s wife Kara recounts the days and weeks that followed the accident, as the couple—along with their family and friends—navigated an emotional, turbulent, and uncertain landscape. As the situation went from what seemed like almost hopeless to what some would call miraculous, music played a key role. It was always there, providing solace, joy, and ultimately a tool for Simon’s brain to re-map itself.  

Despite extensive damage throughout his body and daunting medical obstacles (the accident resulted in—among other things—paralysis from the waist down, a stroke on his left side, and loss of hearing on his right), Simon managed to make a stunning recovery. His passion, optimism, sense of humour, tenacity and hard-core work ethic resulted in his re-learning the guitar, while simultaneously figuring out how to navigate his new life as a musician with a disability.

In this episode, Simon and Kara talk openly about their life, their work, and the challenges and victories along the way.

In a departure from our live, unscripted coaching format we are continuing our "Conversations with Coaches" series exploring how life changes when one goes through coach training and begins are career as a professional coach. You might be thinking, is this such a big shift - becoming a coach? Well, most coaches we know have indicated significant life shifts and we decided to talk to coaches about the relational shifts.

In this episode we chat with Howard Stanten of Vanguard Coaching. Howard is married to Erin McGuire, also of Vanguard Coaching. This is an insightful conversation outlining the shifts in the relationship between a married couple as they somewhat simultaneously move through coach training and start a business coaching other couples.

You'll hear questions & nuggets such as:

• What's it like as a coach to be married to another coach?
• "How do you BE curious vs. DO curious?"
• "How do we use these new tools to help each other in ways we know we want to be helped?"
• "We were learning new ways to be...and there were a lot of blurry lines."
• "Being committed to each other's growth is the stake of our relationship."
• "...it would stir up defensiveness...we still needed permission to be 'coach-like' in the early days."
• "We don't often have the conversation about the conversation and it's so important to relationships."
• "With friends and family we can have agendas...and we can get triggered when they are not showing up aligned with those agendas."
• "Let it go and bring curiosity...or a sense of wonder to the conversation."
