Clips and Vlogs
Sometimes we just don’t have much time, so here is a section of clips that cover important topics and are easy to share with your friends and family. And although I don’t do many vlogs anymore, you can also find vlogs here as well.

There were two major symptoms that I knew were not okay that I had early on before being officially diagnosed with IIH. I talk about those two symptoms. These two symptoms are also the main ones I continue to watch out for that could be red flags that the IIH is back again.

When I first got sick, I was tested for the most obvious things first. One of these things, the doctors kept testing me for. I explain why in this clip.

Many people use the term awakening to describe a fundamental shift in identity that occurs that completely changes the way you perceive this world. Although I do like it as a brief term to save time, when referring to this shift, it is actually not the way I like to refer to it.
I honestly wish that this world was a lot more authentic in how we answer the question how are you and really not asking unless we care instead of trying to fill what many to be awkward silence.
When you're going through intense shadow and emotion work with this shift in identity, it can mean a lot of pain and discomfort. Just like with migraines or chronic illness, I often don't want to or don't know how to talk about it which might mean not being truly honest about how I'm feeling.
One of the more strange things about me is that although I am very open about expressing emotions, I get really upset when I have to admit to someone I am sick. I don't know why this is or where this comes from but I wonder if anyone else also experiences this.

When it comes to energetics with whatever this shift is that is happening, it is wild. As someone who's dealt with very limited energy for a few years now, it's wild to experience the body literally buzzing. I doubt this will last but I just had to talk about it in the moment.
As you may have noticed, there has been a significant break in my content. The main reason for this is because I just finished my second ever meditation retreat at the wonderful Art of Living Retreat Center near Boone, N.C. In this video, I talk about the schedule, share some photos and videos, and take you through my thoughts and insights from the retreat. Many of you have been asking me how it went, so here is my best attempt at that.

It's July in Saskatchewan which means warm weather and for our family, going to different towns for car shows. I talk about enjoying true presence with the family and also share a garden update too.
Canada Day is July 1st and it's a day that we like to celebrate what's unique about Canada. I come from a place with really important history especially when it comes to medicine and healthcare in Canada so I thought I'd share that with you today. As someone who has a chronic illness, I feel like I offer a unique perspective on this.
It's been a minute since I made a longer video, so join me as I enjoy some quiet time before breakfast out in the backyard. I talk about how hard some shifts can be on me, how my latest neurologist appointment went and just overall about how life is right now.
I had to get out and do some work in the garden so I decided to bring you all along with me. Not only do I find working in the garden is a meditation on its own but having hobbies that you can do is so important when you deal with a chronic illness. I go over the modifications I've had to make for this to be possible for me too. Making videos is a year round hobby, but during the summer, I love this because it's an excuse to get outside and if things work out, you get so many fresh vegetables after a few weeks. 😊
Meditation is the only thing I honestly care about and I've always had this weird bucket list item of doing something every single day for a year no matter what comes up. Today, those two things united into a very unique and personal milestone. Filming this was completely random and in the moment so I apologize if the video or audio is not up to my usual quality.
