S2 E7: You're never too old to start over! A special episode with my Dad

S2 E8: Authentic, Inspiring, Heartwarming - Interview with Maid to Sparkle owner Kayleigh Oakley

What a joy it was to chat with Kayleigh, owner of local cleaning company Maid to Sparkle [https://sparklingday.ca/]. Her honesty & ability to be so real & authentic - you can't help but fall in love with her. She shares how it felt to get on the Shift Stage, how she went from being the most outgoing child to suddenly the most quiet & insecure. Creating her own business from the branding to actually running it essentially on her own (with the support of family & her loving husband who is her biggest cheerleader). Her story is so inspiring & RELATABLE! Kayleigh also has a wonderful initiative she has created - The 7th annual MARGARET’S SANTA TO A SENIOR EVENT!! This is to help seniors living in our community who are low-income and might otherwise be alone at Christmas. To allow them to wake up Christmas morning with a smile on their face, presents under their tree, and more importantly — a feeling of love and connection. This year she is teaming up with Connections for Seniors [https://www.facebook.com/connectionsforseniors?__cft__[0]=AZVE5IQtYaGs5r4rFy7gE45Sxnh-D0KSxIs0oNWsR3jWhDE_XWMP5-7_xJP-6OBDv35wclXP9ibuEsDPdGs30gPtxeCt-9XAxC-RHinVWrrWiBFH-oS9I2zVRuzJDpSLYHCdBY3FAgQk_8zSySuB2KJWw1IibashluHwwWFQYB0eQQ&__tn__=-]K-R] & SeniorsNL [https://www.facebook.com/SeniorsNL?__cft__[0]=AZVE5IQtYaGs5r4rFy7gE45Sxnh-D0KSxIs0oNWsR3jWhDE_XWMP5-7_xJP-6OBDv35wclXP9ibuEsDPdGs30gPtxeCt-9XAxC-RHinVWrrWiBFH-oS9I2zVRuzJDpSLYHCdBY3FAgQk_8zSySuB2KJWw1IibashluHwwWFQYB0eQQ&__tn__=-]K-R] where they will donate care packages that will include both essentials and prizes, spreading joy and magic to their seniors in need. As always, they will be looking for help from the community of PHYSICAL donations from the list below. -OR- they also accept MONETARY donations from individuals and businesses that can be forwarded to kayleigh@sparklingday.ca (Please be sure to put STS in the note section) THE DEADLINE IS DECEMBER 13th!

S2 E7: You're never too old to start over! A special episode with my Dad

In this episode, I'm grateful to interview my father, Dave Coultas, who has reinvented himself more than once. At age 66, my dad continues to push the boundaries and comfort zones in his life. He recently embarked on a move to Paraguay, where he has had to learn a new language, make new friends, and adjust to this new way of living while navigating his relationships back home. He thrives on taking care of himself. A yogi, a gym rat, a cold shower advocate - we can learn a lot from him & his passion to keep moving. My dad inspires me every day to push myself and live a life of authenticity. Even though hard at times, I do believe that these decisions have made our relationship stronger. I hope this episode inspires those that may feel a little stuck or like it's too late to start something new.
