Ascend Legal 101

I should have titled this video "How to Become a Human Light Sabre" or "How to stop craving sugar without trying". That's right. I started meditating in February 2020 and have meditated Every Single Day ever since - for over a year. As part of our discussion about dealing with your s**t, I thought I would take this opportunity to over-share. A year or two ago, my stress level was so high I thought I was having a heart attack ALL THE TIME. My health was terrible and my relationships were tanking. As a self-employed mother who was the President of everything, I was convinced I didn’t have the time to meditate. I was wrong. While this video is a little bit long and a little bit personal, it chronicles a year of meditation and transformation. For anyone wondering which meditations I use, I use many of the meditations available at Dr. Joe Dispenza’s website: https://drjoedispenza.com/ . What is going to be best for you depends on your own goals. I certainly have fa...

Trust is tricky. People are tricky. Right now there's a lot of uncertainty. Today we'd like to talk about the intention in building this community of ordinary people talking about extraordinary challenge and opportunity. We're addressing the feedback and letting you in on the conversations we are bringing to you in the next few weeks. Commercial aviation is so unsettled right now and there are a lot of people who want to change everything about aviation in Canada; a lot of which is manifesting in interesting ways in high-achievers. The jury’s still out. The business of law, however, has never been busier and the people I’m working with are hitting the wall. The HR piece is a whole animal of its own because the human resources part is about humans; and they are tricky. There is a very long back story to this project.  After having the same conversations over and over again with different people in different sectors, we sure discovered that we are so much more alike than diff...

Legal professionals are often one part legal professional and one part counselor. Now I meet with people all the time who come to me because they think they need a new job when, in fact, it turns out they really need to deal with a problem in their relationship, an alcoholic parent or partner, or a victim mindset they’ve been taking with them everywhere they go. It’s called baggage for a reason. Did you pack your mean girl or guy today? I’m not qualified to help with that but here is one person who can. Please join our first discussion about dealing with your s**t (I meant to stay stuff) with certified Martha Beck Coach, Margo Fosbery. Now all of our long form interviews can now be found on your favourite Podcast platform. Please take a look for Ascend Legal 101 on Podbean , Spotify, Amazon Music, Audible, iHeartRadio, Apple and Google Podcasts.

After having the same conversations over and over again with different people in different sectors, we sure discovered that we are so much more alike than different. Although we are often having conversations with people from different worlds – same problem – same solution that’s usually not rocket science – its guts. They likely can’t speak directly to each other because there might be some limitation or conflict. So I wanted to create a space where all of these different kinds of people can speak to each other free from “real or perceived conflict” – even if that means speaking to me or through me on a podcast or video.  And Ascend Legal 101 was born. We are excited about connecting legal people, airplane people, HR people, regulatory people, and people just like you and me. We're ordinary people talking about extraordinary challenge and opportunity. Inspiring possibility and empowering leaders (and people who don't think they're leaders... yet) to share their vision wit...
