Kristy McConnell: Off the Beaten Path

In this episode of Airdrie Inside, Chris Glass sits down with Kristy McConnell, Registered Psychologist and founder of Off the Beaten Path Psychology & Wellness. Kristy isn't just offering counseling; she is the architect of a movement that takes therapy out from under the fluorescent lights and into the expansive nature of Airdrie. From her roots in special education to pioneering movement-based EMDR, Kristy is moving the needle on how we reprocess trauma and build a healthier city. "It's like a paper shredder and your brain is trying to process these pieces of paper. But sometimes things that happen to us become like the piece of construction paper where it just jams... and you need a bigger paper shredder." — Kristy McConnell Connect with Off the Beaten Path: https://www.obpwellness.com/ [https://www.obpwellness.com/] Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2438282/support]

Miles Canyon: Burn It Down

In this episode, host Chris Glass sits down with Miles Canyon, a songwriter who traded the metal scene of Saskatoon for the "Wild West" opportunity of Airdrie, Alberta. Miles is a story weaver of the highest order—a man whose transition from metal to modern country was fueled by COVID, a Nashville guitar, and a mission of honesty. Miles discusses his unique "Nashville guitar" that you can't drop a pick inside, the story of how he followed a woman to Airdrie and found a community, and the incredible moment his music reached the ears of Willie Nelson. From the dark depths of "Burn It Down" to the lighthearted love of "Me, Myself and the Walleye," this conversation explores why Airdrie has become a hotbed for world-class musical talent.

Now ranked around the top 50 globally, she’s moving the needle toward the 2027 World Championships and the Olympic dream. Airdrie is no longer a bedroom community; it is a powerhouse of talent.
