72. Toxic Positivity: The Dark Side of Always Looking on the Bright Side with Brenda Jasmin

72. Toxic Positivity: The Dark Side of Always Looking on the Bright Side with Brenda Jasmin

Do you feel pressure to be positive and happy no matter what life throws your way? In a culture that promotes a “Good Vibes Only” mentality, it can feel as though there’s little space to talk about our real feelings. This pressure to be happy and positive at all costs can lead to toxic positivity.

In this episode Brenda provides insights into how toxic positivity can have a detrimental effect on your mental and emotional health by promoting the suppression of real and valid feelings. It expands on the importance of recognizing that authentic positivity isn’t about masking or ignoring difficult emotions but rather about embracing them as integral parts of the human experience. By encouraging the acknowledgment and processing of all emotions, including those that may be uncomfortable or difficult, this episode advocates for a more holistic approach to emotional well-being. Brenda also emphasizes the impact of toxic positivity on relationships and personal growth, pointing out that genuine connections and personal development come from authenticity in expressing feelings and sharing experiences openly. She invites you to reflect on your own tendencies towards toxic positivity and consider ways to create a more emotionally healthy environment for you and those around you.

46. Flying High at 94: An Unforgettable Chat with My Aunty Betty

46. Flying High at 94: An Unforgettable Chat with My Aunty Betty

Betty Bromage, age 94, is an inspiration to all, having recently set the Guinness World Record for being the oldest female wing-walker.  Wing walking involves being harnessed to the top of an airplane while it’s flying, and Betty Bromage (Brenda’s aunt) has performed this daring act five times, to raise funds for various charities. 

Her fearless attitude was shaped by her upbringing during the war and serves to remind us that age does not determine one's vitality. Listen in on this conversation with Brenda’s Aunty Betty, as she shares her engaging life stories and her must-know advice on how to keep flourishing as you age.

About Elizabeth (Betty) Bromage

Betty Bromage set a Guinness World Record for being the oldest female wing-walker at the age of 93. She showed immense courage by pushing her personal boundaries and doing daring feats like the “loop-the-loop” and “barrel roll” while strapped to the top of an airplane. At the age of 94, she serves as an inspirational figure, showing that age should not limit one’s vitality. 

Betty Bromage is a former nurse who achieved her first wing walk at the age of 87. Betty’s story of achieving a Guinness World Record and raising huge amounts of money for charity serves as an example of the amazing things you can accomplish as you grow older. Betty lives in Gloucestershire, England, and is Brenda’s aunt. 


2024 Guinness Book of World Records

Elizabeth “Betty” Bromage will be featured in the 2024 Guinness Book of World records which was just released on September 12, 2023.

33. Navigating the Emotional Journey of Long-Term Care with Deborah Bakti

33. Navigating the Emotional Journey of Long-Term Care with Deborah Bakti

Transitioning a loved one into long term care can be an emotional journey. In addition to the challenges faced with navigating long term care itself, it can be tough to navigate emotions such as grief and guilt that commonly show up when placing a loved one in long term care.

Listen in on this conversation between your host, Brenda Jasmin, and Deborah Bakti, author of the book, “Now What? Managing the Emotional Journey of Long Term Care for Families”,  as they discuss how to manage the life-changing experience of placing a loved one in long term care, and transitioning into the role of being a “resident’s family member”.  

Deborah Bakti has a unique understanding of both sides of long term care because not only has she worked as an executive in the seniors’ care sector, her husband, Ty, was admitted to long term care while in his early 60’s, and both her parents were residents in seniors’ care. Her perspective of having industry insight, as well as her personal experiences as a resident’s wife and daughter give her a vantage point that can benefit others who are embarking on this journey.

Here are some of the topics we discuss:

  • Coping with emotional stress when transitioning a loved one into long term care.
  • Understanding your changing role in supporting a loved one in long-term care.
  • Admission anxiety: the three gaps that show up when admitting a loved one into long term care and how to close these gaps.
  • Getting yourself informed and educated as you navigate this journey.

26. Demystifying Psychotherapy with Sarah Flanagan

26. Demystifying Psychotherapy with Sarah Flanagan

Have you ever wondered if you would benefit from therapy? There are many reasons why people seek out psychotherapy. Sometimes life experiences can cause us to form beliefs, patterns and ways of coping that no longer serve us. A therapist can help you to take a closer look at your emotional life – both past and present and explore some of the root causes that could be causing emotional issues and behavioural patterns you might be experiencing.


Perhaps you’re at a point where you’re experiencing some emotional issues, and you’ve tried everything you know how to do for yourself, and you aren’t sure what to do next. You might be trying to resolve a dilemma in your life or trying to make a difficult decision. Other reasons you might go to therapy could include dealing with relationship issues, divorce, illness, death, grief, or a life transition. Sometimes you might notice that you have patterns you want to change or are dealing with depression or anxiety. These are just some of the reasons why you might decide to seek out a therapist.


Listen in on my conversation with Registered Psychotherapist, Sarah Flanagan, as we talk about what psychotherapy is all about. Sarah helps to demystify the process of therapy and gives some insight into what it’s like to see a therapist, and the ways in which a therapist can assist you with emotional and relational issues that arise in your life.


Here are some of the topics we discuss:

  • The difference between life coaching and psychotherapy.
  • What is relational psychotherapy?
  • Demystifying the process of therapy.
  • The benefits of psychotherapy.
  • How to know when you might benefit from seeing a therapist.


Sarah Flanagan is a Registered Psychotherapist working in Toronto. Before starting on her path to becoming a psychotherapist, she studied Theatre at the University of Toronto and worked for many years in non-profits, government, and higher education. In her work as a therapist, she provides a non-judgmental, supportive, and at times playful atmosphere in which clients can safely explore and be themselves. By offering a space to give voice to thoughts and feelings, connections can be made between patterns past and present, allowing her clients to access and build inner resources and authenticity. Sarah strives to work in an anti-oppressive, feminist, sex-positive, and LGBTQ2S+ framework.

25. Coping with Grief and Loss with Kirsten Frey

25. Coping with Grief and Loss with Kirsten Frey

Is there such a thing as “good grief”? Are there effective ways to cope with grief and loss? If you’re like most people, you never really learned how to deal with grief. It’s not until we experience a loss that we try to figure it out and cope as best we can…but there is a better way to deal with grief.

Listen in on this conversation between your host, Brenda Jasmin, and Kirsten Frey, a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, as they discuss the complexities of grief, and how you can effectively cope with, and process grief and loss.


Here are some of the topics we discuss:

  • Common misconceptions about how to properly process grief.
  • Grief is not only experienced when someone passes away; grief is part of every change or transition we have in life.
  • The importance of honouring your grief, and taking time to process your emotions when dealing with loss.
  • Suggestions about what to do when you’re grieving.
  • Realizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to dealing with grief.
  • How to know if you’re dealing with unresolved grief.


About Kirsten Frey:

Along with being a Grief Recovery Specialist®, Kirsten Frey is also a Transformation Coach. Kirsten has walked the path of loss many times. She has experienced the death of loved ones, divorce, and miscarriage.

As a former police officer, she’s lost friends and colleagues to violence and suicide. Each time, she used the only tools she had ever been taught, which was to be strong and grieve alone. In 2017 she experienced a transformative loss that made her feel like her whole life had been a lie. This shattering experience led her to search for a better way to deal with loss and the unresolved grief she was still dealing with from her previous losses. She realized that she had intellectualized her grief in the past, which had given her a lot of understanding, but very little emotional recovery.

Kirsten’s search led her to finding the tools she needed to resolve the incomplete losses in her life and create the closer connections she’d always wanted, and it changed her life.

Kirsten is now passionate about sharing the education and tools she learned, so that more people can effectively move through their own unique loss and grief in a caring and supportive way. Kirsten wholeheartedly believes we are meant to live our lives FULLY expressed and emotionally free
