Julie Scott loves to talk. It was one of the joys she found about herself, making this episode a wonderful chat. Julie talks about how she used humour to deflect criticism or awkward moments. Looking back, she found she was constantly hiding herself, becoming a people pleaser to her detriment. Owning up to who she was, who she wanted to be, what her boundaries were, all came with a price, top of that list was her marriage.

It took a journey of several years, one she is still on, to find her happy place. She now steps fully into the richness of her life and relationships. 

In our conversation, we explore her trigger points of discovery and pivoting—gems of insight, lots of laughing too. A path does emerge with touchstones that you might find of value too. 

Julie Scott BIO
Julie is a Self Expansion Coach, Developer of the Confidence Blueprint, a speaker, author and lover of cats.

She is a life coach who thrives on helping mature women prioritize their needs and gain confidence so they can stop worrying about “being enough” and start living life. 

A self-proclaimed “feel-good junkie,” Julie is someone who personally experienced decades of struggling with people-pleasing, over-giving and low self-esteem; the end of her marriage is the wake-up call she needed to change her future. By uncovering unhealthy beliefs and patterns, Julie has learned to accept, trust and love herself, and she’s helped hundreds of other women do the same through her free  Facebook group and private and group coaching sessions. 

Julie currently lives in Palm  Springs, California and is truthfully living the confident life she always dreamed of.

After travelling extensively throughout Europe, South, Central and North America, Africa, and Asia, as well as working in the fields of, hospitality and travel industry and in interior design and photography and as a TV host, her search for a deeper spiritual meaning led her to a career in painting. After attending courses at Emily Carr University of Art and Design, in Vancouver, B.C., in addition to private training. Barbara is working full time as a mixed media artist and has a studio on Granville Island.

In 2017 Barbara wrote a coffee table book that was published by Granville Island publishing. The book offers short stories about her travels and a glimpse into her art.

Recently she added face masks to the collection and paints hand painted one-of-a-kind cards to send to that special person.

Barbara has a great passion for life, music, and nature, and has found that painting has become a necessity in her life. Painting gives her a feeling of harmony and balance. As it is in life, so it is in painting. She enjoys allowing her paintings to take on a life all their own and begins with a ‘get acquainted ‘period before seeing what the painting is about. The spontaneously abstract created pieces reveal a passion for colour and exploration, using methods that include acrylics, oils, wax, graphite, charcoal, antiquing processes, and inks.

Joanne Ruston's smile is constantly coming on. She just naturally  a comfortable person to be around. The biggest force that shaped her we discovered was being the first born. It was fascinating to see how that nurturing, inclusive leadership roll shaped her journey. At the high school job search Travel Agent seemed to fit her future vision. It was a perfect fit, she was amazing at, loved to travel, still does. Then suddenly she took a leap into basically an all male industry she knew nothing about. Feet first as a franchise owner. It was a struggle the first year but her makeup is one to succeed,

She shaped her little company into on that not only shattered glass ceilings but broke records, a lot. Her belief in giving back with leadership roles on boards, perfecting the life work balance.  It is all here. I think you will enjoy Joanne Ruston's chat with me.

Michelle Askew is a sparkle from my deep past. She has had some novel twists in her life, She was adopted, adored her parents but did not feel connected to that full family bloodline, She found her birth mother followed the family string to Ireland. She connected deeply with all those relations. Ironically the cove of her heritage Irish family matches her PEI Cove.

We talked about Michelle's 14 year old start in sales, her approach to it as a lifestyle. We explored her values that tie back into what makes her so good at sales. Of course we talked about her daughter and her mom. Juggling those two loves. From that is how, in obvious and positive ways COVID has changed our connections.


Michelle Askew Bio
Michelle had travelled and worked overseas then called Calgary home. She worked in radio sales. She and her family fell in love with PEI and bought a cottage in 2008 they stopped living for a few weeks in the summer to become full time islanders.

Small places result in challenges so creating opportunities has been a full time challenge. The light in her life is her daughter Kennedy who is a well known Halifax DJ and car sales pro.

Covid has changed us forever. PEI has been fortunate with no hospital cases and no deaths but isolating on the island is challenging. Not seeing her daughter for a year despite being so close has been trying. Finding work, staying engaged, and focusing forward is a full time job as we all must adapt and be kind. We will get through this with kindness, integrity, creativity and love.

Jenna Star is one energetic woman. She is a going forward woman at all times. Jenna started her first sales business at 7 years with an imaginary yard sale in her bedroom with dolls.  Her deals and arregments are always an equal win. By the time she was 20 she owned a hair salon Spa. 

I have never met someone with some many irons in the fire that are real projects. She is kinetic, and so positive. Not that she has not had some serious bumps along the way that tested her. Jenna shares what drives her, her perspective and importantly how things just flow to her. All in a way you can use too. 

Homeless at times, bounced back. She sees owning a business forever is like a very expensive job. 

Our conversation ranged from her business woman beginnings at 20, tracing how her parent's journey shaped her, her challenges and diversity.

Kerri Cust is a bold and intimate woman. She did not start out that way, but a switch flipped in that put her on a quest. There must be more! Along the way she became fearless. She opened up so so many possibilities. She came to demand of her self a real life, an intimate life; seeking out enriching opportunities. Kerri talks about all of this.

Even what you do when you fundamentally change but those in your family and friends don't, how to keep a relationship with them.

Kerri is transparent about her journey, her interaction with friends, along with her personal discoveries. I believe you will find nuggets of truths you can use in her conversation.



Kerri Cust Bio

Self Love & Intimacy Coach
Kerri Cust had it all, the man, the marriage, the great job, the house and babies were soon to follow. She had everything she thought she needed in order to be happy but when it all came together she wasn't. 

After leaving her marriage, the loss of her brother shortly followed. She then embarked on a spiritual journey where she found herself living in a tantric community in the gulf of Thailand. There she discovered what it felt like to feel true desire and pleasure. Through opening up to her sexual and sensual self her life changed, she began to feel alive, passionate and juicy. 

Now she guides women and couples to ignite their sexual energy and to have deep intimacy and experience true pleasure.

Frankie Nobert is having a very interesting life, she just turned 70, celebrating with a nude photo session in my studio. Her huge smile and sparkling eyes are rarely gone from her face. She is a woman who likes deep conversations with dear friends or women needing support.
Her Story and journey are rooted in Father abuse she talks about how that has shaped her, how in later years it triggered her journey of self. It is a positive conversation, even when she loses her footing as she grew.

Her bio in her words:
“What I believe, makes me who I am” Deepak Chopra

Life has been about creating my best life, that I dreamed as a young girl, I believed there had to be a better life.  I was going to rise above my circumstances. 
Those were childhood sexual abuse, growing up in an alcoholic home, my mother staying with my father, being the oldest of 3, and becoming the parent. 
I was not going to let these affect me! 
I kept it all a secret, for far too long, as most of us do!! But of course, It all affected everything. All my relationships, my self-worth, body image, sense of responsibility, as I kept my armor on, myself safe and pushed everyone away! 
Through my healing journey, I have created an amazing life. Still carrying some armor and darkness in my heart, I was led once again to explore even deeper into my childhood wounds recently. 
The journey is never over!
I have shed all those layers of darkness and shame. I openly share my story, my life journey, past and current, to give hope in finding peace, to inspire and empower others. 
I live and lead by example, embracing life, still at 70

Kim LaMontagne's conversation strayed into some interesting places. Her story of rising from a family stew of alcoholism to getting sober, along with signs to watch for is inspiring. Kim talks about becoming more fearless, how and why to set personal boundaries in a healthy way.

How the face of failure is growth. She shared the bold move of selling everything, buying what is really a self-owned caravan, 60 feet long, to travel freely. She shares her perfect day in a way that may help you find yours.

I think you will enjoy listening on her conversation with me. It is invigorating.

About Kim LaMontagne
Kim believes we must start the conversation now about mental health. 
Especially in the workplace.  

Kim@kimlamontagne.net      www.kimlamontagne.net
Follow Kim on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram and YouTube

Kim's Bio

Kim LaMontagne has devoted her life to helping others survive and thrive in the face of mental illness. After suffering in silence in the workplace with anxiety, major depression, suicidal thoughts, and alcohol use disorder, Kim has found recovery and a life of true happiness. 

 A consistent top performer, Kim suffered alone in the workplace because of shame and fear of stigma.  Her professional performance never wavered, but inside she was broken, empty and on the verge of giving up. 

 On July 16, 2020, she celebrated 11 years of sobriety.

 Kim recognized her story was not unique and that leaders need solutions to help foster a mentally healthy workplace culture.  A culture where everyone feels safe enough to come forward and say - I’m not ok and I need help.  

As a solution, she created the "4 Pillars of Creating and Sustaining a Mentally Healthy Workplace Culture."  

Corporate training that teaches organizations how to:

 *Recognize the impact of mental illness in the workplace
*Share the lived experience to bring the human connection to mental illness
*Change the perception of mental illness and decrease stigma
*Create an environment of safety in the workplace

 The training launches the Fall of 2020.

 I invite you to click the link for details, take an organizational well-being assessment, and book a consult.  

https://mailchi.mp/36fcbe650b9e/4pillars

 Kim is a Speaker, State Trainer, Teacher, and Advocate with National Alliance on Mental Illness,  a Member of the Dartmouth Hitchcock Health System Campaign to Combat Stigma and Discrimination, and the USA Director of The Uncommon Woman International Chapters.  

 She speaks frequently at conferences, nursing grand rounds, is a visionary author for the book “It’s Ok to Not Be Ok” and a contributing author to the book “The Strength of Our Anchors.”

Laurie Anne Sakla sadly has intimate knowledge of relationship violence. Since escaping from it has become her vocation and her mission to inform, empower, and rescue women entering or desperate to leave that destructive path.

This is a special edition podcast on Relationship Violence. Usually, I am talking to fascinating women about themselves, today's podcast came out of that conversation with Laurie Anne. It is so important I felt we should have a conversation just about that. Here it is.

Some of my photography clients come in working through the aftermath of the relationship. Putting themselves back together. They have gone through a crafted process that places them in the middle of the horror that for a big part aims at destroying their self-confidence, their self-esteem, their sense of beauty; it all winds up damaging their sense of self-worth.

In this conversation, you will learn the signs at the start, the red flags. Laurie Anne will talk about steps women can take (and the few men) to escape. She will list the agencies along with financial support to start again. To renew; to move on.

This is a vital conversation. If you see yourself or a friend from these insights, there is a path out.

Laurie Anne is a woman with a fascinating past. Raised by a single mom with a unique perspective, was a wide-eyed innocent in the '80s, taken under the wing by members of big-name rock bands like big brothers. Traveled the world wrestling in jello, mud, and oil. Modeled impressively and still does; it is her balance in life.

Then an experience in relationship control changed her world and her path. She now has lines in the sand that she does not allow crossing. She has a passion and empathy for women in desperate situations.

Yet, she remains warm, bubbly, and engaging, Her eyes still sparkle.

There are some amazing insights in her conversation with Mark.

Liza Lomax is widely spontaneous in this conversation. She talks about growing up as a people please to the level of becoming a doormat for others. How she realized the issue then fought to overcome that, to look after her self. 

Her intuitive gifts reached the level of being a medium, yes, seeing those who have crossed over. That created pause, bewilderment until she drew into it. 

Liza talks about how to tell your story and the power of doing that. She talks about her perfect day and explains her biggest dream, her personal disasters along with the lessons from them. 

She talks about fixing your self first and the power of the subconscious mind. 

She found an amazing partner and a Danish parent. it is a rich conversation you will enjoy.



Bio:  Liza Lomax is a Body Image Coach. She helps women who have yo-yo'd with their weight. Who have tried every diet fad and are still not happy with their reflection in the mirror. Help them heal their relationship with food and their bodies. She also helps them eliminate their negative self-talk/head trash, so they feel beautiful and confident.

Shannon Miller is a rare woman. She is deeply empathic that matches well with her connection to helping people. While it was not dormant it blossomed with the tragic loss of her young daughter.

She made the choice not to stay in darkness but to step into the light, to share insights and a path with others. She explains, "I honored my grief and allowed myself to feel all the feelings that come with pain and sorrow, and then began taking steps towards healing."

Through her choice of this light, she has become a Grief Guide, Empowerment Coach, Inspirational Speaker, and Author.

She shares what shaped her to this path, how it can be replicated for other people.

She explains how people can support someone in grief.

Shannon talks about how being authentic solves so many things, opens so many doors.

In spite of the heavy arching topic, she brings a lightness to her conversations.

"Shannon Miller is a speaker, author, and grief guide. She began her work after the devastating death of her daughter, Kaiti. Shannon’s children are her heart and soul and Kaiti’s death shattered her world as she knew it.  Determined not to drown in her tsunami of grief, Shannon made the choice to not only live her life with strength and purpose but to also help others who were navigating the complexities of grief."

Traci really gets into things. With a degree in science, her hero was Chris Hatfield, she easily sees how things work.

Traci is this wonderful mix of science and fantasy. She will get an idea in her head like " a mermaid tail looks cool, I should make one" then her science side takes over until aesthetics are needed. How she got to this optimistic, the world is joy point in her life is fascinating, of course.

Maude is a woman with a purpose to bring the power of laughter, to understand how it heals, even how to fake it but still get the benefit

While Maude does share some techniques and the power of laughing our conversation goes beyond that.

Maude shares how a very early childhood attack impacted her life without realizing it; how she unearthed it, and solved it. How she does and will relate to her expecting baby girl.

She had a deep relationship with her brother, his passing altered her life by how he mentored her to leap forward.

Our conversation does touch on some close to the soul moments and insights in her life but mostly it is a happy and joyful chat.
