Still in business, just not actively posting on social media since 2024. Hoping to be back in 2026. Needed a long social media break.

Join me this summer to chill in a Toronto park, connect with nature, and be inspired to write and create from your authentic self.

I'll be biking to different parks around the city on Friday evenings at 6:15pm to run a brief to set the tone for your weekend. Bring pens, notebooks, snacks, blanket, and an open mind.

It's pay-what-you-can. My goal is to bring people together outside to enjoy nature and community. After many years in isolation and fear, I think it's exactly what we need.

Link to register is in bio or just show up. I'll be there.

Finishing university in Canada and looking for a job as an can be extra complicated because of the additional paperwork necessary to ensure it's legal to work, not to mention the struggle gaining Canadian experience and encouraging employers to hire those without PR or citizenship.

I have a large portion of international clientele, who I help both navigate the academic system, as well as postgraduate process and job search. If you're struggling as a new grad, you're not alone. We're here to help.

This week my mom is visiting, which is lovely in many respects, but also stressful because I couldn't take the entire week off to host her. In addition, on my days off, we're having to do a lot of traveling or visiting of relatives. My generally quiet one bedroom apartment is disrupted with constant activity and I'm finding it hard to concentrate. I'm also finding it hard not get irritated and grumble all day.

Before we head out on another road trip to visit folks today on not enough sleep, I'm taking a quiet moment to post this reminder.

Take a moment of silence for yourself.

All the busyness is hard on your nervous system. When you're nervous system is aroused, your cognition (ability to think through complex problems and be creative) is impacted negatively. You go into survival mode. And in survival mode, isn't a priority.

So, take a big breath in..and OUT. Drink some tea. Make sure to eat. Walk around the block. Stare at the wall. Sigh...

Pause. Breath. Settle your body.

Trust that after this moment you'll be even more ready to take on the big tasks of the day.

Due to the current debate about freedom of expression vs censorship going on in the podcast world and nation-wide protests (Freedom Convoy), has been motivated to sit back on our own organizational values, what it means to be a socially responsible and ethical business. We will be taking this first Quarter of business to reflect on these larger questions, which are especially important as an organization that aims to teach critical thinking and research skills to young adults. We hope to come back in the Spring more informed, grounded, and intentional about our approach on social media and through out podcast.

In the meantime, we're still here serving clients, putting out our monthly newsletter, and available for questions and inquiries.

And, we would love to hear more from you about what an ethical business means to you and what you'd like to see in terms of content to support you as a community members. Here are a few questions we're interested in:

1) What does a socially responsible and ethical business look like to you?

2) How can we make our business values more clear and consistent in our products, services, and content?

3) How can we support you as a student or young adult struggling to succeed academically or professionally?

4) What kinds of topics, guests, or resources would you like to see in our podcast or online?

Thanks so much for taking the time to engage with us. We really do want to hear your voice and have it represented here as our goal is help you reach your full potential on the page, and in life!!
