Episode 7: Colette Gauvreau – Breathe Easy
Joining me for the final episode of the year is Colette Gauvreau.
Colette has been exploring and enjoying the benefits of the mind-body connection for over 30 years. Her personal exploration of yoga led her to complete yoga teacher training in 2003 after the birth of her second child.
Colette is also a certified coach of ENLP who works specifically with the unconscious mind and specializes in helping her clients overcome their chronic conditions. She is passionate about her work because she has used these same tools and techniques to overcome her own chronic health issues.
In this episode, Collette shares her health journey and discovering and harnessing the power of your breath. This is a timely message as we are in the holiday season and hopefully taking time off to rest and recharge.

Episode 5: *Special edition: December 6 observed
There's power in women's stories.
There's power in women's voices.
This special edition is my reading of a passage from Melody Beattie's book, Journey to the Heart. The passage for December 6 is titled, Discover True Power. I thought it was fitting and poignant given this day of observance.
In Canada, December 6 is observed as the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women. The day was established by the Parliament of Canada in 1991 to mark the anniversary of the 1989 murders of 14 women at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal, who were killed because of their gender.
In Canada, and around the world, women, girls, 2SLGBTQQIA+ (two-spirit, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, plus), and gender diverse individuals face unacceptable violence and discrimination. Gender-based violence in Canada, and other countries, has been magnified and amplified by the COVID-19 pandemic. The Canadian Women's Foundation presents facts and some FAQs on gender-based violence. It offers information about shelters, support services, and resources.
There are people close to me who have experienced gender-based violence. I stand in awe of their strength and courage.
We all have a role to play. Continue to speak up. Advocate. We can end gender-based violence at the root.
