117. Advice to Your 30 & 40yo Selves

We have a super funny and fruitful chat with the former CEO of Harlem Globetrotters, Kurt Schneider, and former president of TEDMED, Jon Ellenthal (among many other things). Now in their mid 50's, Kurt & Jon, reflect on how crucial a good environment is for any company to be truly sustainable, healthy and successful, the power of lighting up the room, how the busyness of life changes as we go through different stages, and they serve up some of the best advise we've heard about what they would tell their younger selves (hint, stop trying to control the narrative, you don't know shit, and lighten up). 

This one is not to be missed, it's witty, funny, and PACKED with the kind of advice that you'd love to get from your funny, massively successful uncle over a night of gin martinis.  

We hope you love it!

115. Lessons in Leadership (When Running Your Own Company)

115. Lessons in Leadership (When Running Your Own Company)

With us today is the founder of one of Australia’s most impressive brands, Sage x Clare. Phoebe Bell started the wildly successful bohemian homewares company 8 years ago and now, thanks to organic growth, following “a lot of intuition and gut instincts about where to go with the business”, and surrounding herself with the right people, Phoebe is leading a multimillion-dollar business with products in over 250 retailers around the world.

We get into Phoebe's journey with leadership, starting from the beginning as a founder-led business and not thinking about leadership too much in the first 5 years being "in the trenches" with the team, to seeing when a shift in leadership had to occur when things went wrong. Phoebe gets vulnerable and shares her missteps in leadership along the way, and how she's navigated keeping a team's morale up in the last 2 years amid the pandemic. Phoebe's approach is so calm, emotionally contained, and solutions focused that even listening to her approach will settle your nerves.  

We hope you love it. We loved recording it.

114. Elevating Your Home & Work Space

114. Elevating Your Home & Work Space

Today, we're talking about Elevating Your Home & Work Space - our homes are everything to us at this stage in our lives, and especially in the last year and a half. They’re often our biggest purchase, our sanctuary, our keepers of memories, and a reflection of who we have become and continue to grow into. Many of us shifted our spending money in the last year and a half from experiences to things which could fill up our homes, or maybe you moved entirely to a new home with more space, or maybe you’re not able to move and you’re feeling frustrated or uninspired with the space you have, and maybe this pandemic time has helped you gain clarity on what’s most important to you. We focus today on all of the above with guest Gloria Song-Foster, founder of White Dahlia Design. Gloria believes your home should reflect the life you want and the person you are. We chat about how to integrate home design to help with your mental health, your family relationships and creativity, how to maximize small spaces (it’s her favourite challenge) and she’ll give us some tips on how to incorporate a more permanent but flexible home office space (or multiple) since a partial work from home situation might be the way of the future. We hope you love the pod! Also! White Dahlia Design is offering 10% off on all design packages with code “after30” at whitedahliadesign.com. xoxoxo  Anis + Tabs  We love creating this podcast SO much.

112. Modern Day Etiquette

What does etiquette even mean today!? Our world is culturally diverse and dynamic, and so highly digital and casual - hardly anyone seems to abide by the rules and standards of "traditional etiquette" today. So does that matter? Should we care? What should we still be making sure we know and do? 

We chat with etiquette expert Karen Cleveland about how etiquette has changed, what etiquette is appropriate today in various settings like dinner parties, corporate functions, dating and new baby life, why the heart of etiquette is still effing important, and what we can do to pay attention to our ever demanding environment and varied cultural contexts.

A few of our favourite moments:

  • Use etiquette to legitimize how you feel? 4:09
  • Why etiquette doesn’t matter until it does. 7:02
  • Why small talk matters. 8:16
  • Digital etiquette. 12:18
  • Raising kids in the digital world and why the internet can be fiction. 15:24
  • Etiquette as a value system. 17:05

110. Upcycling Food Waste & Sustainability

Today, we discuss Upcycling Food Waste & Sustainability with TJ Galiardi, the Co-Founder and CMO of Outcast Foods, a Canadian sustainable food tech company that makes beautiful food out of ugly produce. As a former NHL forward, playing with the Colorado Avalanche, San Jose Sharks, and Calgary Flames, TJ’s career took an unexpected turn when he had the ability to bring a dehydration technology solution to the food and agriculture industry that would ease food insecurities and lower the carbon footprint of the food supply chain. He’s quickly become one of the young leaders in food and agriculture with his unique outlook on sustainability, and we’re finding out today how he’s done it, why it’s so needed, and how we can get involved and lower our own carbon footprint.

106. When a Parent Comes Out - An Interview w/ Tabs

We wanted to honour Pride month in a special way, and Tab’s sharing her own lived experience of her Mother's coming out journey - that today is a story of compassion, acceptance and love - felt right. Tabs shares the impact it had on her to be a child of a 3-in-1 family dynamic shift: divorce (as that's often associated with a parent coming out), seeing your parent in a new relationship, and that new relationship being a same sex one. She shares how she found out, the process to acceptance and support and how it impacted her relationship with her husband now. We discuss what it means to be sexually fluid, why communication is so vital, and the ultimate beauty and power that lies in following your truth. 


We hope you enjoy!

99. Why it's Time to Overhaul Weddings

"Women have rewritten every part of our lives, except how we marry. We’re still getting hitched in much the same way that generations before us have, albeit with the added modern pressures of having it be Instagram-perfect.” We chat with Michelle Bilodeau and Karen Cleveland, co-authors of The New Wedding Book: A Guide to Ditching All The Rules, which dropped 3 days ago in Canada. We talk about how you can drop the ball on your authenticity, budgeting, and priorities when you're planning for your big day and how "traditions" aren't really traditions. Michelle and Karen give us some tangible tips on keeping communication at the forefront, thinking about everyone to make events more inclusive and accessible, and sticking true to what's meaningful for your wedding. This ep is packed, we hope you love it!

94. Eating For Your DNA

Do you know if you ACTUALLY shouldn't eat carbs? Do you know if that Vitamin B supplement is better for you than that Probiotic? Did you know that taking a DNA health test is actually incredibly accessible?! A simple swab of the saliva from your cheek can be sent to a lab in Canada and come back with a 200 page report giving you insight into what parts of your DNA are weaker so you can renew and revitalize the DNA embedded in your cells to make improvements in your health and live longer. A process that was previously reserved for University biology labs, is now being made accessible by companies like dnaPower Inc. out of Vancouver, Canada. 

We chat with President and CEO of dnaPower Inc, Dr. Lois Nahirney, about what these tests are actually telling us, and how you can adjust your diet, vitamin intake, and even your fitness behaviour to match your genetic makeup and what you actually need more or less of. We chat about how the body works on a cellular level to understand that you have the power through the influences you put on and in your bodies to course correct for diseases, weight fluctuations, energy levels, and optimal health. We learn how vital this personalised information is as the food we consume is becoming less nutritious, the benefits of finding this information out early for your kids, and how Dr Lois herself (and countless other people they've worked with) have uncovered health issues through these DNA Health tests that doctors and specialists were not effectively diagnosing. 

Simply put, these tests can be a game changer for your health, happiness and can help you live longer. And you only take it once! We've taken ours and we'll be doing a follow-up episode in a few months where Dr. Lois will take us through our results on air!

90. Everything is Gravy, Until it’s Not: What You Need to Know About Legal Contracts

Business owners, entrepreneurs, freelancers - listen up!!! This episode is for you. We chat with Darielle Teitelbaum, a corporate lawyer and the founder of AWE Legal and AWE contracts to find out everything we need to be thinking about for our legal needs. It becomes so clear through our conversation with Darielle, that so many of us are not properly set-up with the right policies to cover our liabilities but ALSO to protect our time, our rights, and even our financial opportunities. This episode gives you the vocabulary to be able to have the right conversations with your clients, and a clear roadmap for the contracts you should have in your back pocket. We talk about what the pandemic exposed for many business in their cancellations/refund policies & what you need to include now (*note why the pandemic is not considered force majeure). We dive into IP and the many complications and existing rights surrounding IP, privacy policies including with kids online classes, and what side hustlers should be thinking about too. Also we talk about the tomato feta drama, obviously.  


One of the best things about this conversation is that it's accessible. Darielle created AWE contracts during COVID specifically to service small businesses that are often underserved by the cost-prohibitive and lengthy process of individually drafted contracts. They've taken all the guess-work out by offering all of the relevant contracts required to operate your business, and they include the essential contracts you need or may need in the future as you grow, tailored to your industry.  


Srsly this is the way to go if you’re an entrepreneur and want to be sure you’ve got all the bases covered from the start, we're so excited to connect you to them. Get your Contract Kit here. (https://www.awecontracts.com/?aff=AFTER30)

89. Get Your Pleasure On w/ Goody Howard *explicit warning*

Just in time for Love Day, we're getting intimate with sexuality educator, intimacy consultant, and HIV activist Goody Howard. We chat about normalizing pleasure, how to create more sensuality in your everyday life (which therefore leads to far more pleasure in sex), and what to do if you're just not feelin' it. Goody also keeps us cool on what's happening in sex toys, how to create new erogenous zones, and she explains how many types of orgasms there are (guaranteed there's more than you think). Explicit warning in effect, you might blush, but you're also welcome.

We chat with Sarah Schwab, founder and president of Content Creation Coach, author of the bestselling book “Content That Dances”, and host of the podcast 'Inspired and Amused' about what creativity looks like as we get older. How it's so common for life to take over as adults, leaving your connection to creativity and hobbies be a thing of your childhood past that we no longer dedicate time for. We chat about how to get into the creative flow, the importance of business and leadership allowing for additional time and space for creative exploration, and how to reconnect or get inspired to things that light you up. 

Enjoy!

Inspired by one of our favourite reads Range, Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialised World by David Epstein we debate the + & -'s of being a generalist versus an expert in your career, particularly as we advance and gain additional experience, knowledge, and connection to ourselves. Which path are you taking? Is one better than the other? We seem to make the case for the generalist, but we admit some of that comes from a deep jealousy of epidemiologists. 

At the end of the day, don't feel behind. 

We hope you love it.

Best-selling author, speaker, nutritionist and founder of the Academy of Culinary Nutrition, Meghan Telpner joins us to break down the Barrel Effect: the analogy that our body and life is a vessel with a finite amount of space, it spills over if there’s too much in it. With the holidays approaching in the most uncertain year we’ve ever experienced in our lifetimes, we’re about to overflow OR we've been overflowing thrice over for 10 months. Meghan helps us handle our overflowing barrels, and how we can make space in it.

80. Overcoming Overwhelm: Running a Business & Being a Parent in the Pandemic

80. Overcoming Overwhelm: Running a Business & Being a Parent in the Pandemic

Our guest today is the founder of Totum Women, mother of 3, and attorney Erin Erenberg. Erin runs Totum Women, a motherhood brand that centers around supporting modern mothers through this crazy parenting journey, but in a way that keeps the woman at the centre of the story and as close to herself feeling as whole as she can. Erin has had more of rough go this year than most of us, with her oldest son, George, being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the beginning of the pandemic, her husband being diagnosed with COVID, home schooling, and termite induced renovations all while trying to keep (and grow) her own business. Erin’s resilience and ability to gracefully step out of the overwhelm to search for self-improvement, to listen and learn, and to focus on what’s most important is astonishing. We’re going to chat about what tools best work for her to not let ALL OF THE THINGS completely take over.

Follow @totumwomen on IG and join them for their next Totum Talk on How to De-Stress the Holidays happening on December 9th.

We’re joined by country music and industry award winning couple Shannon Ella & Steven Lee Olsen for a convo we never thought we'd have - having a pandemic pregnancy. Shannon is the host of radio show Pure Country and she’s recently picked up the 2020 Country Personality of the Year Award and Industry Person of the Year Award while casually growing a baby. NBD. Steven is an artist and songwriter, with songs like "Can't not" and "Raised by a Good Time" and co-writing songs like @KeithUrban's double-platinum hit “Blue Ain’t Your Color” (which earned a CMA, Grammy noms and a ton of other accolades). Also NBD. This impressive and incredibly sweet duo have had a wild ride this year (even more than most of us) kicking it off with getting married in the backyard of their Nashville, Tennessee home, and experiencing their first-time pregnancy, in a pandemic, on both sides of the border. We’re getting right into the ups, downs, and in-betweens of what it’s been like to have a pandemic pregnancy.

77. How to Take A Social Distanced Vacation

We’re all missing our vacation time, our weekend trips, or a few weeks away to escape our regular routines. Many of us have had holidays this year that have been cancelled, and we’ve realized how much those imminent trips that we plan regularly give us life and a sense of excitement for something to look forward to - the experiences and energy that we get from learning about new cultures, places, foods, nature, wildlife, whatever your travel style. 2020 has hit our suitcases hard and most of us haven't been venturing far from home.

We have with us today Tamara Elliot, founder of  Globe Guide, a hub of savvy travel advice for extraordinary adventures from the ground up. Starting it from a simple passion project travel blog  to the mega brand it is today with over 28k followers, countless travel writing awards, and regularly featured in media like Flare, Lonely Planet, Breakfast Television, Global News, and countless others. Tamara will help us determine where to go to feel safe, what we should look for in accommodations and  transportation, and give us some tips on how we can still salvage our vacation time in 2020.
