A big focus in my life this past year has been improving my health and creating habits and routines that are better for me. But I still really struggle with creating structure and efficient routines around productivity. Thankfully, today’s guest Siff Haider is well-versed in both. As an entrepreneur in the wellness space, Siff has developed an impressive balance across her work life and health habits, and in today’s episode, she reveals the tips and strategies that she used to improve her health and build a wildly successful business.

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!)

We might associate our cognitive health with our memory, productivity, thinking, and energy levels, but what about our happiness? Our mood has EVERYTHING to do with our brain health. So what do top neuroscientists recommend for psychiatric issues?

We’re in an era of health hacks, from tracking our cycles, sleep, and steps, to tailored fitness regimens. But what about our brain health? Cognitive decline may not be top-of-mind for the under-50 crowd, but our paying attention to our brain health can change our lives right now, and in the long-term.

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 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!

Let’s face it… life is exhausting, but that doesn’t stop the sun from rising every morning so it’s time we figured out how to hack the system and stay energized!

If you’re fresh out of a breakup and are feeling alllll of the feels, this one's for you. Navigating a breakup is never easy, but you’re far from alone. A study last year showed 25% of Canadians between the ages of 18-24 split up during the pandemic, and 5 million Canadians have experienced a recent breakup.

Experts say it can take 6-8 weeks to get over the initial intensity of heartbreak, but with a lack of access during lockdowns to the normal stuff we do to get over our exes, and an ongoing mental health crisis, the “getting over it” part has been hard lately. That leaves us with the inner work we have to do: Finding out who we are again, rewriting our narratives, filling that void, and loving ourselves first.

We called in breakup expert Lindsey Ellison to help us fall in love with our life again and manifest the dream partner that we deserve. Because when you can feel happy on your own, you're raising the bar for the next partner you bring into your life.

We’ve heard from a lot of you that are struggling to stay active right now, and we’re right there with you. So we called in the delightful and motivating fitness expert we all need, Cassie Day. She’s an athlete, coach, nutritionist, fitness personality and CEO of All Day Fit, a fitness community with online and in-person classes and personal training that takes a 360° approach to wellness.
