A little about me
Hello! It's me, Christine D and I'm here with you to share stories of my lived experiences, and the stories of others, who are leaning into their authentic selves to create the life they want.
It is my experience that self doubt, fear and limitations in our minds hold us back from doing the great things we were meant for. In this space, I share the proof that we don't have to live the life we have been taught to live, but we can in fact flip the script on our own lives and do things differently. Here you will hear from me and others, who have leaned into doing what they want, despite the fear that tries to hold them back.
There is no limit to what you can create, and we are here to show you that you can not only dream it, but you can create it too.

Join me as I chat with Erica, creative master behind the outdoor lifestyle brand, Bear + Fox.
The journey to living a fulfilling life doesn't always mean constant fireworks and million dollar pay checks, but it might mean a lifestyle that brings joy and connects you with your purpose, your kids and the outdoors.
Erica and I talk about the ups and downs of entrepreneurship, how we define success, and that an unconventional approach can be your winning ticket to finding the life you want to lead.
Everything in life is a season, and connecting your gut and heart to your why makes everyday (even the bad ones) purposeful.
You can find Bear + Fox on Instagram @bearandfoxapparel.ca Facebook & TikTok @Bearandfoxapparel or by visiting bearandfoxapparel.ca. Erica's book, My Part Time Life, can be purchased through the website, along with her awesome comfortable apparel.
Thanks for listening!

In this first dual interview style episode, I chat with Lisa Rostek - former advertising director who traded big city living for small town living. Not only did Lisa leave her career and make a leap to answer the call of her heart for a simpler life, but has leaned into seeking joy in the small things while she collects experiences, and taps into other creative outlets she didn't have the time for in her previous hustle lifestyle.
I met Lisa while staying at her cozy airbnb found in Prince Edward County, just over two hours east from Toronto. The photo below was taken in the airbnb. You can find more pictures and book your stay through Lisa's 'super host' airbnb link here.

In this episode, I talk about my experience coming out of the pandemic in a state of survival and fearing the closure of my business, only to turn the experience into lessons that have me making some of my best decisions yet.
My gut and heart knew I had more in the tank, but I was so exhausted after three years of living in survival and experiencing burn out that I lost my way...until I leaned back into me for the answers.
I found my voice and I hope to use it to help you find yours too. Join me in this honest solo conversation with me, and pick up the nuggets you didn't know you needed right now!

Join me in this short episode as I talk out my feelings on expecting perfection when trying this new to me podcasting landscape. I've learned its a little more than just hitting a record button, and it got me wondering about how many of us stop ourselves from trying something new because it won't be perfect. I hope you'll take a listen.
