Welcome to our first episode of “No Dumb Questions,” where we answer all of your burning questions. In honour of Valentine's Day, we’re tackling the most exciting questions of all: Sex. Because whether you’re dating, in a relationship, or very much single, we’re probably all thinking about it. (Mom stop listening!)

It’s love month! So buckle up lovers, you’re in for a wild ride this week with our first ever team roundtable episode! We’re joined by TMHTA team members Kyla and Caro to talk all things Love Languages — including the latest two love languages that were added to the original five.

How are those big new years goals going? Are you holding steady, or losing steam? As we reach the neverending finish line of January, we’re hitting the point where a lot of us will lose that momentum. You might start looking for all of the evidence of why those goals weren’t actually possible or worth it. That’s self-sabotage… and we’re not doing that shit this year, so we called in the incredible Lori Harder to teach us how to make quantum leaps towards becoming the person we want to be in 2024.

Burnout continues to skyrocket as we take on side hustles and chase the elusive “more” – but the good news is there are real, actionable ways to beat it and prevent it from coming back! But we’re no experts, so we called in Chloe Wilde to teach us how she overcame burnout and built a business on balance and wellness.

The summer of girlhood is thriving: Barbie broke a billion. Taylor Swift is stabilizing the economy. We’re doing all the things, and we’ve proven we can do it all. But should we actually have to? The #hustleculture girlboss era is mellowing out and honestly, we aren’t sad to see it go.

Even with all of the books, classes and advice, nothing can truly prepare you for the changes that come with motherhood. Those first postpartum months are overwhelming and joyous and exhausting and confusing and affirming, and most of the time we look back and wonder how it could have gone by so quickly. It’s a vulnerable time that can leave a lot of women feeling isolated.

If you experience feelings of overwhelming anxiety, existential dread, panic sweats and heart palpitations… welcome to the anxious girlies club. But seriously, we’re finally learning that while occasional stress and worry is normal, if those feelings start to impact our day-to-day lives, it’s time to take a closer look at our brains and bodies.

Life can be complicated AF and everyone needs support along the way…so why is it so hard to ask for it? For most of us, the tendency to keep things bottled in and not ask for help has been reinforced over time, especially in cultures that value independence and “success”. Spoiler alert: it isn’t doing us any good. On the plus side, vulnerability and asking for help are two skills that can be learned, and class is now in session!

The more adulting we do, the more we realize how essential getting good quality sleep is to literally every aspect of our lives. From our physical health to our mood and mindset, sleep is the key to solving a whole lot of our problems. We’re sick of burning the candle at both ends and tossing and turning each night, and we’re not alone: the past few decades have seen a downward trend in the quality and quantity of sleep that people are getting. So… let’s talk about sleep, baby!

Our limiting beliefs get the best of us sometimes, and it’s something that so many of us struggle with in life and at work. The truth is, we can’t always trust the things we tell ourselves. Our brain pumps out around 6,000 thoughts per day and with that much going on, it’s bound to get a few things wrong.

So this week we called in Komal Minhas to help us develop the confidence and mindset skills to tap into our potential and get out of our own way. Komal is an executive coach, business strategist, interviewer, and resilience educator who coaches people to build successful businesses while improving their wellbeing and mastering their mindset.

Welcome back to our AMA episode series, Asking For A Friend, where we tackle your biggest questions and deep dive into our own personal experiences and expertise.

So many of us have daydreamed about moving somewhere new. And since the pandemic opened the doors to remote work and afforded us new freedoms in work and life, it's no wonder that people are considering making that leap. But whether you’re thinking of moving to a new city, a different state/province, or a whole new country, there’s a lot to consider. Luckily, Cailyn is our very own in-house expert on this, as she just uprooted from Toronto to Vancouver for a fresh start on the West coast.

It’s true what they say: Change is the only constant. From parenthood to career pivots, big moves to breakups, big changes are unavoidable, but they can leave us feeling lost and totally destabilized.

So in this week’s quickie we’re diving into life’s big transitions, and how to find ourselves (maybe even a more evolved version of ourselves) on the other side. Every change is a chance to recalibrate, so let’s get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and figure out how to come back to yourself when you’re finally through the turbulence.

The one where Cailyn and Gill get realll honest about honesty… and it’s a juicy, therapeutic and vulnerable ride. Because let’s be honest: It isn’t always easy to tell the truth — to ourselves or to others.

Whether you’re struggling to have honest conversations, to admit the truth (to yourself or others), or you tend to hide things that are uncomfortable, it’s true what they say: The truth will set you free, and allow you to live your life unapologetically.

Is it just us, or does September always feel like a mini New Year? That nostalgic back-to-school energy makes it the perfect month to refresh your routine, set new goals, and start going after the life you want.

But TBH, it can be really hard to find the motivation to do alllll of the things. So in today’s Quickie, we’re cracking the code to hacking your motivation and finding the drive to get sh*t done. Spoiler: motivation doesn’t magically appear, it’s all about building goals and habits that move you forward each day.

For the rest of the summer, we’re doing a Summer Rewind, re-releasing some of our must-listen episodes as we ramp up to the launch of season two. See you in September friends!

Change and adversity are the only constant in this life, and if this year has taught us anything, it’s that the more you focus on building a solid foundation within yourself, the more external chaos you can handle.

If you’ve been thinking about getting back into your health and fitness routine (especially while we’re stuck at home), we got you. In episode 9, we sat down with fitness coach and founder of Born To Sweat, Beverley Cheng, to learn about motivation tips, how to set realistic goals, how to track your progress, proper form for weight room power moves, and three things you can start doing TODAY to live a healthier life (spoiler alert: we need to start drinking water).

One of the things we’ve been hearing most for the last while (outside of “unprecedented times” and “You’re on mute!”) is that our friends and families are feeling hella burnt out right now.

And even though our lives have slowed down and become more minimal in some ways, life is picking back up again and there’s a lot more stress, expectation and pressure overall.

Summer can be a very triggering time for a lot of people when it comes to body image and insecurities. We polled you guys on Instagram about how you’re feeling in terms of confidence and self-acceptance, and we learned that we’re definitely not alone in this feeling. 76% of you said that summer triggers your insecurities, while 77% of you are feeling anxious about re-emerging from lockdowns with all the physical and mental changes we’ve undergone. 91% of you said that you struggle with negative self-talk, and we feel you...we can all be our own worst critics and bullies.

Unpopular opinion: It’s NOT always healthy to find the silver lining in everything. Some things just suck, and we don’t always need to look on the bright side, at the expense of *actually* processing hard feelings.

Our culture is obsessed with a “good vibes only,” and “everything happens for a reason” state of mind that makes us feel like we’re failing if we’re not happy 100% of the time. Trying to see the positive isn’t always positive, sometimes shit happens that doesn’t make us stronger, and we’re ready to break up with toxic positivity so we can fully experience our emotions AND our loved ones’ feelings. (Because nothing is worse than platitudes.)

We all know that the years start coming and they don’t stop coming, but we’re starting to have trouble remembering them. Our memories are an essential part of who we are and this week we learned there’s A LOT that can impact our ability to remember the good old days (or just that person’s name we met five minutes ago, tbh).

If you’ve been feeling some brain fog lately you’re not alone — surprisingly, there’s a lot that goes into maintaining our memory, especially when a global health crisis cuts off the stimulation our minds need to stay sharp.

But we’re diving into hacking our brainwaves and training our minds so that we can actually remember all the things we need to do today. May the odds be ever in our favour!
