The Be Real Babe Podcast

In this episode closing out the season I take time to reply thank my listeners, guests and supporters 🥰 I genuinely feel extremely blessed this is my hobby and the support fir it has been unreal 🙏🏼 I go over the last season on the podcast and YouTube, my many trials this season, the wins and the plans for the future. I also share the process flow I’m currently in and how a break and refresh is much needed. Join me on this final episode for the podcast until April! Please go head back to my past seasons to catch you on episodes you may have missed!

In this amazing final interview of Season 10 I bring on my girl Adrianna and we talk about corporate life! We travel through our careers and the different avenues it has taken us over the years. In very Be Real Babe fashion we veer off topic a few times but it all relates back. Your job, your career is a lot of who you are and what you do. And hey maybe that’s not always what you want but what you need to do and we get it! Corporate is not for the faint of heart or weak skinned. You confront every insecurity you have. You have to remain professional and not react to succeed. You have to be open to learning, being wrong and doing what you are told. Maybe some people hate then and that’s ok! Do you babe. I thrive, others melt. No shade here EXCEPT: If you have any online business, mlm or online salesperson, STOP HATING ON US CORPORATE GIRLIES GOD DAMN. We out here doing things some people couldn’t imagine and we get shaded so YOU can make more in your downline? Fuuuuuuck outta here with that. We can all exist. Except I don’t hate on you to make money 😘 Join me and Adrianna as we share all the positives we’ve experienced in corporate 🙌🏻

In today’s episode I am launching a new series that will continue in season 11. But the immense amount of missing people in Canada needs to be talked about and cannot wait for a few months. This series begins in British Columbia. My home. Where missing people are more of an issue than almost any other province here. Although I cannot cover all open cases in this series, I urge you to go to missingpeople.ca to find the mass lists of missing humans to learn more. This series begins with three individuals. None of them are connected but all pull deeply at my heart. Ryan Shutka went missing in Sun Peaks on Feb 17th 2018. He was at a silent disco, left to a party with friends, then when they left they thought he was behind them… he has yet to be seen since. Years of investigating and searching for him have left them with more questions than answers. Where did Ryan go? Who knew what actually happened that night? Plenty of speculation but no one coming forward. Amber Manthorne. My dear Amber ❤️ Amber was last seen heading home in Port Alberni July 8th 2022. The last known person to have seen her alive was her then boyfriend Justin Hall. Who police have said they believe he is directly responsible for her disappearance. Justin was found dead a year after her disappearance, making it now nearly impossible to solve this case. Unless someone out there knows what happened and will come forward with information. Justin was seen leaving port with her car, a suitcase and a tote and no Amber. This tote and her phone have yet to be recovered. He was seen trying to flee the island and turned around and ditched her car in Cassidy. RCMP are still working on this case but they will need help from the public to help fill in any blanks, so please come forward if you know anything. The final missing persons case I bring to this series is the one of Cole Hosack who was just passing through Dawson Creek New Year’s Eve 2023 and was never seen again. Cole was hanging out at a few local places and is seen taking off from one, looking like he is running away, and he’s never seen on cameras again. A truck was seen taking off in the same direction shortly after. The family is getting little to no help, as much of the families of missing people in Dawson experience, leaving everyone even more lost and hurt from the lack of support on this case. This man has a child at home, a family who loves him yet are left out to dry for support. We as Canadians need to band together around these families and at least speak about these cases as much as possible. I cannot imagine what these families are going through and I have no idea how to help but this is a start for me. Let’s all screenshot these photos, keep up to date with missing people cases in Canada and share the FUCK out of these stories. Stop wasting time with Hollywood drama or sports game when families are out there missing members. Yes we can have both but are also supporting fellow Canadians or leaving it all up to the government? They are proving that they don’t have the resources or they don’t care. I wanna believe it’s the first but WE THE PEOPLE can care. Praying for answers for all families in Canada who are missing a loved one. Please always reach out if you need someone to talk to or have a case you want me to highlight!

In this amazingly fun and insane episode I am joined by @grillgirlrobyn to start the year off right and we are talking all about conspiracy theories!! Now before you get all weird and judgy and refuse to be open …. Don’t 😂 We talk about how we both got shoved down rabbit holes during the pandemic into such dark places we were both nearly physically ill from it. If you know, you know!! You get so deep in dark information you wonder what is the point of life even? Everything is evil and corrupt. But it led us both back to God. Back to faith. Back to a guided higher power vs no spiritual belief and feeling lost. We go back and forth of things we have learned over the years, whether true or not and we remain open the hole convo on things we may not have known before. That’s the key isn’t it?! In this information war?Take in the info, don’t be married to it & be ever flowing with it. The biggest take away is to not rely on any false god out there whether that be celebrities, politicians or rich folk because they aren’t on the same field as you. Take it with a grain of salt. Same as with what we are talking about here! Just have fun with it. If it’s too dark then stay away or pretend it’s fiction 😂 keep your mental health first and foremost! But if you like weird convos and deep conspiracy talk then this one is for youuuuu!!

In today’s episode I go over the entire year of 2025 for the podcast and world events that happened! Nice and light to end the year ❤️

In this episode, Hails joins me to talk all about Reddit Christmas!! We catch up on life and reminisce about Christmas in the 90s. All the tacky colours & tinsel. We didn’t know how good we had it!! We share 3 stories each, some AITA stories about the Santa Claus secret, forced family traditions & prank gifts gone wrong to legit coal for Christmas, a cheating spouse story & a Christmas folklore story! Second to last episode of 2025!!

In today’s episode Ryley joins me in studio to chat all about Men’s Mind Collective. Gearing up to launch in early 2026, Ryley takes me through how the Collective idea came to fruition, his aspirations with this project and what this means to him. Born and raised in central Alberta, Ryley had always had close friends around him to motivate and support him but once he made a city move, finding that same connection didn’t as easy. Currently living with the love of his life, chasing his dream career while also working as a crane operator he felt something was missing. A close group of friends beside him. & we all know how hard and weird it is to make friends as an adult AMMMMIRITE?! And like where tf do you go?Ryley could not find anything to help bring men together either locally or online…. So he is creating it! We go over what some of his struggles have been, how he’s overcame them, how he wants to build a resource for men to come together, help one another and motivate each other in ways that have been lost the last few years. We love when people see a need and fill a need. You can find this collective at mensmindcollective.com

ALOHAAAAAAA BABES! In today’s episode I go over our recent trip to Hawaii!! In 2014 I went to Honolulu with my mama and we stayed right in Wakiki beach and it was SO AMAZING I suggested it for our long overdue trip outside Canada! It was not hard to convince G to go so we found an adorable Air BNB very close to the beach, saved money and got our own little paradise oasis for the week. We did so much to nothing but relaxing on the beach. From the zoo to the Diamond head hike to a 16 point island tour to a sunset cruise, I think we only made it to half of what Hawaii has to offer. The city is flooded with Hawaii culture with a mix of everything to ensure tourists feel at home. Most welcoming vibes ever 🙏🏼 And just as we arrived they started decorating for Christmas 🎄 my fave time of year! Join me in this solo episode as I take you on our trip to Oahu. Mahalo for being here 🤙🏼

In this amazing episode, I am joined again by Robyn aka The Grill Girl and she takes me on another journey she’s been on and excited to share with us. This time we aren’t diving into mental healing as we did with soul fracturing (Ep 238) we get into gut health and parasite cleansing!As one does, Robyn has been through seasons of different diets throughout her life and shares all the things she has learnt through diving deeper into her physical health.She was diagnosed with SIBO and that took her down a journey to healing her gut, parasite cleansing and learning what works best for her.She shares her experience with parasite cleansing, how she is healing her gut and putting all this type of love and knowledge inside her latest cookbook. Because its us we also talk about our environment, like what’s in our skies and soil, we talk about how so much information is out there but you can’t always trust it and how the suppression of natural remedies can affect everyone’s ability to choose for themselves. Amazing episode again with so much knowledge and real talk I am so grateful to share these types of convos!

In this 2 part episode you get a front row seat to the event that happened here in Kelowna, hosted by Torva & an amazing catch up afterward! On Oct 19th, at the Rotary Center in Downtown Kelowna an event called “Fleeing Canada to save her Life - an evening with Torva Logan“ took place & we were able to capture the whole thing, even including the questions in house and online. Torva takes us through her journey from start to now, her hopes for the future & scary stats all Canadians should be aware of. Guiding us through her presentation of heavy personal experiences, others equally worrisome experiences and her hopes for Canadian healthcare’s future. At 1:09 ish, we jump back into the studio and we chat about her time here with me, her return to the country/province she’s been medically exiled from and how her life has been the past 6 months in Texas. Naturally we shit talk the gov and share some pretty beautiful moments on our visit.

In this episode my babe Darrian joins me and we take an adventure down memory lane and what it was like in our time to do drugs and the recovery we’ve had from those times. Back in our time, I don’t think as many heavy and pharmaceutical drugs were at the same height they are now. While some teens did heavier drugs for sure, most of us were just smoking weed and drinking. Now you got 13 years old on pharmaceutical meth essentially and safe supply here in BC. So what was it like in our teens and 20’s? How did we bounce back from the party life that we both got heavily hooked into? Listen to an elder and baby millennial share their experiences of what doing drugs was like in the early 2000’s 😜

HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEENNNN!! In this episode I am joined my OG babe Hails & we chat about Halloween! We’ve done an episode in the past where we talked about the origins and old creepy shit before EP but this time we chose three stories and didn’t tell each other what. Like a spooky show and tell if you will 👻Hails shared 3 creepy stories that she found online that I’d rather wish I didn’t know because I’m surrounded by trees here in BC 😂 & then I share 3 Halloween situations that I want to know your opinion about!!I don’t need anymore nightmares THANK YOU!!

In this amazing episode I get the chance to pick Lexa’s brain about all things Bodybuilding! A gf sent me Lexa’s account because she knew I would love her raw and real takes in the bodybuilding space and she was absolutely correct! Lexa’s approach to being a coach and a bodybuilder herself is so refreshing. Focusing more on body led coaching, individualized program and a holistic, all around approach when supporting her clients so they have all of the tools available. We talk about the toxic portions of the bodybuilding world from competition to coaching and of course we share the wins too! Not just her wins in competing and being a coach but the improvements being seen industry wide too. There is a lot of bad advice out there but there is equally really good advice and really good, caring coaches out there like Lexa so don’t be afraid of jumping in with a coach, just make sure to find a door as hell one like Lex! Even if you aren’t needing a coach, her IG is a wealth of knowledge and real talk about bodybuilding and you know we love that over here 💅🏼

In today’s episode we carry on spreading the word about Botox Injury. In Part 6 of this series, I am joined by an amazing woman from the UK, Victoria, who barely made it through her final Botox experience. Botox was something Victoria did semi annually for 25 years. Not once did she experience any side affects or negative outcomes in all those years until just before her 50th birthday. Due to this fact, she decided to get a little more than her usual spots and go for a little more since she was headed on a trip soon and since she wasn’t informed truly of what happened, she did not see any issue to go ahead with the treatment. Shortly after her apt, she stating experiencing numbness and blurred vision. Slowly more and more symptoms kept happening to the point she decided to go into the doctors. In passing she had mentioned she had Botox & luckily this doctor knew immediately she needed to get to the hospital as she was experiencing botulism. The amount of people in the UK that know about this is very rare, so this man truly saved her life. After 12 hours of being in the hospital, she received the anti toxin and started her recovery path. A long one that involved being in the hospital for a week, a feeding tube for 3 months and the need for a speech theorist to learn how to talk again among other things. Luckily Victoria was able to heal enough to still go on her trip for her birthday, she has a new found appreciation for life & was able to educate a lot of people in her area (specially in a medical school nearby) what can happen with Botox. I’m so grateful these strong women come on the show and share their stories so less people maybe have to go through this or go through it alone ❤️ Everyone who has experienced this is more than happy to help support so make sure to ask the questions, be open to others experiences and always lead with compassion when navigating this space. Victoria’s body was being poisoned slowly and made it very close to her lungs and heart. It’s a serious thing that can happen and we just want you to be aware. Real stories not rare stories 🫶🏻

In this amazing episode I bring a personal and fan fave Hollie G!! We talked about mental health in season 1 and I thought it would be a great time to jump in and catch up in that area and see how she is. As we do we catch up on life and her newest adventures like her “Coming home to self” work shop series and amazing crafty workshops too. Then we dive into her experiences with mental health from postpartum depression and ADHD and the tools she has used to manage. We talk about how postpartum can look so different depending on the environment and state you are in to her having insane side effects from her medications. I always have and always will support your choices with your mental health and body butttt please please make sure you know the side effects and take them seriously so you don’t put yourself at further risk ❤️ you mamas are famous for pushing it away. So grateful to have Holls here to celebrate 10 seasons and her like 13th? 14th? I’ve lost count episode.

In this awesome episode, I bring Jamie back on the show to catch up on hows she’s doing with her vaccine injury and politics!! Ahhhh scary politics. If you’ve been around long enough you know this show has had its history on being political and I actually haven’t really stopped just moved it to YouTube however, I wanted to talk to Jamie about her political experience. Growing to in the 90s, we didn’t really hear about politics. Maybe some gov shade but not to the point kindergarteners had opinions on politicians 🤣 We both agree that we should be talking politics and we should be having the hard convos but we should not let it ruin relationships. We’ve both gone from being more progressive and liberal in our 20s to finding ourselves aligning more with conservative values currently. And we have to wonder if we really changed or did what a lib/con change? Personally I’m tired of being label so many nasty titles just from the box I checked at voting time and who I feel I align closer with. Doesn’t mean we hate anyone because we voted a certain way and we get why people say don’t talk about politics if you don’t wanna lose friends BUT WHY?? I get it but I also think we need to do some self reflection, some emotional regulation stop taking everything so personally so we can actually come together. We are so focused on our own lens and views of the world we often forget others have wildly different views based of their knowledge/experiences and that doesn’t make anyone enemies. But let’s talk about it. Why did we change or did we?! How did we get here and how can we get out?!Join us in the beautiful conversation about our political awakenings!

In this episode, I bring an absolute fire cracker, Rini, on the show to share her deeply personal journey through breast implant illness, the emotional and physical challenges she faced, and the impact of societal beauty standards on her decisions.From her initial confidence in her body to the complications that arose from surgery, Rini's story highlights the importance of informed consent and the need for support for women navigating similar experiences. (TW child loss)After having her amazing children and the unimaginable loss of one of her children, Rini was in the depts of grieving her child and working through her postpartum body dysmorphia while also being surrounded by perfectly sculpted when she decided to get a mommy make over. Unknowingly though this would start a very long journey leading to a mastectomy and ongoing challenges of healing, both physically and emotionally, as she seeks to reclaim her identity and advocate for others. We discuss the complexities of informed consent in surgery, particularly in the context of plastic surgery while exploring the risks associated with these procedures, the societal pressures surrounding beauty standards, and the journey towards self-acceptance and body positivity. Rini shares her personal experiences and insights on aging, the impact of societal expectations on women's self-image, and the importance of community support. This beautiful conversation emphasizes the need for informed choices, self-reflection, and embracing one's natural beauty while rejecting unrealistic beauty ideals.

In the first guest episode of the season, just like I started my fall season last year I got the honour to sit down again with Torva and dive deeper into her life and experiences with mindest, manifesting, gratitude, resilience, self advocacy ALL THE FREQUENCY AND WOO WOO shit. We start this visit with a great catch up on her medical journey with keeping cancer away this time compared to last and how they have been adjusting to life in Texas while still advocating for a better life for Canadians. We get into the differences between doing these practices like gratitude and mindset work like checking off a box versus doing these practices with intention, patience and trust. Wanting to control the outcome and being so focused on the goal versus the life experience and journey along the way and how that can lead to major burn out was one of my fave parts about this convo! We also talk about how past traumas can have impacts on our current life through limiting beliefs, the importance of authenticity over toxic positivity and the very real fear of success. There are so many incredible nuggets in this episode I cannot list them all!! It was the perfect way to set the tone of the season. Grateful. Intentional. Impactful. 🤌🏻
