View in browser Hi Reader Last week, I received the results of my latest personality test. This one was the Emotional Competence Inventory (ECI). It was a pleasant confirmation that I scored high on being an inspirational leader and that I excel in helping others develop. I suppose that COACH is still very applicable to me 😊 I’ve taken many personality tests over the years. I still remember my first one at 14, when I wrote the results down on a cool little card like it was my personal...

View in browser Yesterday, we were planning a day trip to the mainland. BC Ferries is the only option for car ferries, and I found a great deal—just $86 one way. But then... I got distracted. Just 15 minutes later, when I was finally ready to book, the price had jumped to $120. A 39.53% increase in the blink of an eye! A missed opportunity—and an expensive one as well! It made me think. How often do we say, "I'll do it next time" only to realize that next time costs us far more than we...

View in browser Imagine this Reader: You wake up, check your Stripe, PayPal, or whatever digital money wizardry you use, and BOOM—your best month EVER. 🎉 Like, the kind of month where you go from “Am I even doing this right?” to “Holy crap, I might actually be a genius.” Well, that’s exactly what happened to one of the incredible women inside Visionary Women. She just hit her highest-earning month since she started her business. And no, she didn’t stumble into a pot of gold or win the...

View in browser Hi Reader This week’s newsletter (and my LinkedIn post) is all about something I preach to my coaching clients all the time — it’s okay to be inspired by others, but comparison? Not so much. And yet, there I was, doing exactly that. In the first weeks of my MBA program, I caught myself asking classmates about their scores on assignments and quizzes — like some unofficial ranking committee. In my defence (and I love a good defence), Brene Brown says in Atlas of the Heart that...

View in browser Hi Reader Moving into a new place brings excitement and adjustment. Part of that meant getting to know our neighbours. It will not come as a surprise that my word for 2025 is CONNECT. Since everyone in our apartment building is new, we started a WhatsApp group to connect. Sounds simple, right? Well, not for everyone. Many of our new neighbours are retired and downsizing, and let’s just say that technology isn’t always their best friend. So, I found myself playing tech support,...

Hi Reader I went to my favourite store this weekend, Chapters, a bookstore 📚 And it's not a small one, I could spend hours there. So every time I go there, I give myself strict instructions: only two books, you can only buy two books 🤣 I have to admit, I don't always succeed 🤷🏼♀️ Anyway, I thought I would get ahead of myself and buy this month's book and March's book from Mel Robbins. But, despite the fact that it's a large bookstore, they didn't have the book. Probably because it was...

View in browser Hi Reader While I'm typing this, I'm drawn to look outside and see that the snow outside is slowly melting. We had some serious snowfall past Monday and Tuesday. So much so that even the university was closed for two days, and it turned out to be too dangerous to get there (the University is situated on a hill, and the road towards it tends to get icy). I loved it—not that the University was closed; we still had online classes—but the snowfall made everything turn white. One...
