Episode 02: Write the book, with author Chantel Guertin

I’ve known Chantel Guertin for almost two decades now. We met when we were both editors at Elle Canada. Right away she impressed me with her perfect hair and her drive.

Over the years, as we both continued to climb the editorial ladder and hop from one magazine to another, Chantel would also go on to become a professor and on-air expert on The Marilyn Denis Show.

Through the years she has never failed to surprise me with her multi-tasking skills, pumping out one book after another while I sat at my computer only dreaming of my life as an author.

Even though it would be many years after Chantel’s first book launch that I finally began writing my book, knowing that she did it, gave me hope that I could do it too.

So whether you’ve got a book in you, or some other passion project up your sleeve, make sure to listen to this episode because there is no one I know who gets things done like this girl. 🙌

Episode 01: Your passion project “birthright,” with life coach Jamelle Lindo

I met Jamelle Lindo a little over a year ago.

At the time, I had never even heard a podcast before. But as soon as Jamelle got on the phone and we started talking, I knew right away we were making history, and that I needed to record his voice to share it with you all.

As the founder of The Self-Architect Program, an experiential process for closing the gap between who you are now, and who you need to be, Jamelle knows what it takes to deliver on your personal and professional goals. Not only that, but he also believes you owe it to yourself and others to follow through on them.

If you’ve ever doubted that you have what it takes, and that you deserve to follow your passion and make your dreams come true, be sure to listen to this episode. 💫

It’s your time now.

Welcome to Passion Project!

As the saying goes, sometimes you have to lose yourself, to find yourself.

I was 40, unemployed and pregnant when I finally decided to start my passion project—writing a novel, just like my childhood self had always dreamed about.

Without a job to report to, or career prospects with a baby on the way, I could finally give myself permission to follow my dream and begin working toward making my passion project happen.

That doesn’t mean it’s been easy. Every day it’s a struggle to make my book, my writing, a priority in the face of family and financial commitments and obligations.

Every day I struggle with doubt: Why me? Why not me?

Fortunately, I happen to know a lot of inspiring people. People who remind me that anything is possible, if you just follow your heart, and follow that with committed action.

They’ve inspired me, and continue to inspire me, to keep going, keep dreaming, daring, doing. And now I’m going to share them with you, so you can keep dreaming, daring, doing too.

On the Passion Project podcast, you’ll hear their stories, about how they dared to do what most people only dream about, and how they’re making their passion project happen.

You’ll also hear from experts, coaches and motivational leaders who share their tips, tools and insights into entrepreneurship, personal fulfilment and resiliency.

So listen in and stay tuned for future episodes. 🎧

It’s your time now.
