In the spirit of the New Year, I wanted to kick things off with an interview that I was fortunate enough to get with an individual who truly embodies what we try to promote and encourage here on the podcast. And that is to concretely and effectively ensure that your actions are elevated to the same level as your ambitions.

Don't let his bright smile and warm personality fool you - today's guest, Coach Jacques Renaud, or  just "Jay" for short, is a beast and in that mindset, pulls no punches. His clients - well, those who survived anyway - are the first to account for his dedication that has made them sweat, scream, cry, curse...and eventually acknowledge the reward of a job well done.

Jay's core values are rooted in his belief that one is accountable for their own success...or failure. He's not here to do the work for you but he will commit to guide you towards you getting the work done. 
A belief that has shaped his life, business and brand. As he likes to put it: "JayTrain is not just a workout...it's a lifestyle.  

There is no better investment of your time and resources than to proactively and consistently take care of your health. One of the first and most impactful things you can do is to sustain a proper fitness regimen. Your body truly is your temple and your best course of action is to make sure its upkeep is on point and keeps you going for the long run.


I want to thank Coach Jay for his time, honesty, humor and wisdom. An impactful conversation, the first of many exciting ones coming in 2019, which I do hope you'll enjoy.

Ep. 181 - Live Your Best Life For You (w. Dionne Nicholls)

A third appearance on the show is certainly something to acknowledge and celebrate. When certain guests have been such a profound source of support and collaboration, you let them know.  It's a true honour to welcome back today's guest on the program.  Dionne Nicholls is a professional coach trained through Accomplishment Coaching. From being estranged from her father for years as he was diagnosed with schizophrenia, to giving birth to a son with a rare heart condition, to feeling stuck in a 20-year career and having her 17-year relationship end in betrayal, Dionne knows very well that she does not look like what she's been through. And, that's the point. After an extensive journey of self-reflection and seeking the meaning of why she was put on this planet starting in 2014, she came to the realization that the gift she had to bring to the party of life was JOY. Following a successful 20-year career in the fashion industry, co-founding

Ep. 030 - Do not be anxious. Recalibrate. (w. Tanguy Exume)

When you come out the other end of yet another powerful and thought-provoking exchange - all you do is take a second, breathe it in and realize that certain opportunities, connections, conversations and people are truly a blessing. My guest, Tanguy Exume, was nothing short of an amazing spirit to have on the program. With a genuine philosophy of kindness, resilience, patience and mindfulness, there was no time for questions - only for listening. And sometimes, too often actually, we lose sight of how important this simple act can be. Wearing a variety of hats ranging from - and I'm not making these up - dedicated  Crossfit Athlete ,  to  Poet , to  published author , to  Teacher , to  Salsa Insctructor , to most notably and closest to my heart, loving husband and father...Tanguy is a singular expression of eclectic Awesomeness. Stoicism, acceptance, personal truth, recalibratio

Ep. 012 - This journey called LOVE (w. Jessica Cantave)

In an active effort to pay attention and remain cautious of my workaholic tendencies, trying to take on as many projects as my mind  can wrangle, I've become increasingly curious about the concept of Mindfulness. More specifically through the practice of meditation and Yoga. It gets thrown around a lot and there more than a few resources to go around in regards to demystifying the whole thing and getting one's feet wet. I, however, never mind keeing things close to the chest, or in this case, in the family. Jessica Cantave has been an avid practitioner of Yoga for many years now and her dedication has yet to slow down. She was definitely a worthy source of both valuable and legitimate experience that I was more than happy to tap into with my always naive and curious self. An honest and heartfelt exchange, with a surprising exercise in Stillness directed at yours truly, Jessica's insight and enlightened being made this a conversation to remember. You c
