In this episode, Vero shares a personal life update and takes you behind the scenes of what’s been happening lately in her life and business. From ringette tournaments and favorite traditions in March, to a spontaneous trip to Florida, to the recent launch of the Overwhelmed to Organized program, this episode is a relaxed and honest conversation about momentum, growth, and embracing the season you’re in. Vero reflects on the lessons that have come from the past few weeks - including the importance of stepping back, allowing others to step up, and recognizing the impact that meaningful work can have on the lives of others. She also shares insights from the first run of the Overwhelmed to Organized program, where participants explored practical tools like time management, energy management, boundaries, habits, and task batching to create more clarity and alignment in their weeks. This episode is a reminder that progress doesn’t always look perfect, but when you keep showing up with intention, momentum begins to build.

What do you do when you’re showing up, putting in the effort, staying consistent, and the results still aren’t matching your expectations? If progress feels slow right now, this episode is your reminder: slow does not mean failing. It means you’re building. In today’s conversation, we’re diving into what grit really is - and how to develop sustainable persistence without burning yourself out. Because true success isn’t built on constant motivation. It’s built on steady commitment, emotional resilience, and the courage to stay when things feel invisible. If you’ve ever felt discouraged by slow growth, questioned your timeline, or been tempted to walk away from something meaningful simply because it’s taking longer than expected… this episode will ground and empower you. Because the woman who succeeds isn’t the one who moves the fastest. She’s the one who stays. To learn more about EmpowerElle, visit: www.empowerelle.ca Follow on Instagram @empower_elle
What if success didn’t require burnout, constant hustle, or following someone else’s blueprint? In this episode of the EmpowerElle Podcast, Vero sits down with Whitney Corbin - multi-brand founder, entrepreneur, and community builder - who has launched and scaled more than 10 ventures while raising four kids and intentionally designing a life that works for her. Whitney shares her honest journey into entrepreneurship, what redefining success has looked like over the years, and why waiting for permission keeps so many women stuck. This conversation is a powerful reminder that success isn’t a title, a paycheck, or a rigid schedule - it’s a feeling, and it’s allowed to evolve.

Do you ever feel like your to-do list is longer than your energy? Like you’re constantly giving to others, but neglecting yourself? In this episode of the EmpowerElle Podcast, Vero is diving deep into how to prioritize wellness in a busy life - without guilt, overwhelm, or feeling like self-care is optional. Wellness isn’t a luxury. It’s the foundation that allows you to show up fully - at work, at home, and in your life. And the truth is, when you make wellness a priority, everything else flows more smoothly: your energy, focus, mood, and even your productivity. This episode is packed with practical strategies, mindset shifts, and reflection exercises to help you lead your life through wellness, even on your busiest days. This episode is for ambitious women who are tired of burning out, feeling depleted, and sacrificing themselves to get it all done.

Valentine’s Day is coming… and whether you’re in a loving relationship, a complicated one, or navigating single life, the month of love can bring pressure. Pressure to feel happy. Pressure to feel fulfilled. Pressure to measure yourself - or your life - against what everyone else seems to have. But here’s the truth: the person you’ll spend the most time with is you. And the most important relationship you’ll ever nurture is the one with yourself. In this episode of the EmpowerElle Podcast, Vero explores what self-love really means, why it matters more than ever during Valentine’s month, and how you can practice it in a way that’s empowering, practical, and completely aligned with your life. This episode is for ambitious women who are tired of comparing themselves, people-pleasing, and measuring their worth based on one holiday or someone else’s expectations. It’s a reminder that love starts with you - and when you show up for yourself, everything else flows from that. To learn more about EmpowerElle, visit: www.empowerelle.ca @empower_elle
Do you ever start your day already feeling behind - even before you’ve done anything? In this episode of the EmpowerElle Podcast, Vero breaks down how to build a simple, effective daily planning routine that helps you feel clear, focused, and in control of your time without adding more pressure or overwhelm. This isn’t about rigid schedules, color-coded planners, or doing more. It’s about learning how to lead your day with intention, protect your energy, and create space for what truly matters. If traditional planning methods haven’t worked for you, this episode will help you rethink planning as a form of self-leadership - one that supports your goals, your well-being, and your real life. Whether you’re navigating a full workload, leading a team, managing family life, or all of the above, this episode will help you create days that feel more grounded, intentional, and aligned.

In this powerful and vulnerable episode, Vero sits down with Jastine Goguen, founder of L’adorable Flower Shop, to talk about courage, reinvention, and choosing yourself - even when it feels terrifying.

This episode is an honest look at what it really takes to build a life and business that feel aligned- not just from the highlight reel, but from the vulnerable, uncomfortable moments behind the scenes. Together, Vero and Jastine explore fear, momentum, self-belief, letting go, and why growth often requires releasing what no longer serves you. If you’ve been standing at the edge of a big decision- or feeling like you’re on the “wrong train” - this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

In today’s episode, we’re diving into a truth that every ambitious woman needs to hear: Multitasking isn’t making you more productive - it’s making you more exhausted. If you’ve been feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or like your brain has too many tabs open at all times, this conversation will feel like a breath of fresh air. We’re unpacking the real power of single-tasking - the practice of giving your full attention, energy, and presence to one thing at a time - and how it can transform your leadership, your productivity, and your everyday life.

The end of the year is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and set yourself up for a fresh start in 2026.

If the holidays usually leave you feeling more exhausted than energized - this episode is your permission slip to do things differently. Today, we’re diving into why rest is the strategy during the holidays - especially for ambitious women who spend the year holding everything together for everyone else. You deserve to end the year feeling nourished, not depleted. Inside this conversation, you'll learn how to design a holiday season that supports both deep rest and a powerful start to 2026. We’ll talk about simplifying your commitments, letting go of unrealistic expectations, avoiding unnecessary drama, and giving yourself the emotional and physical space your future self is begging for. And because the holidays are “separation season” - a time when a few intentional habits can give you a massive advantage - you’ll also learn how to choose one or two simple, high-impact actions to set yourself up for success next year… without sacrificing your peace. This is your guide to a holiday season where you can breathe, enjoy, reconnect, and step into the new year refreshed, grounded, and motivated.

In this episode, I’m joined by the incredible Joline Cloutier, mortgage broker, business owner, mom, and someone who has fully embraced doing work her way. This conversation is honest, refreshing, a little rebellious, and so needed for any woman who has ever felt the pressure to “perform” or “act professional” at the expense of her authenticity, creativity, or well-being. We talk about what it really means to succeed as a woman in a world built around masculine structures, how to honor your energy instead of fighting it, and the beauty that unfolds when you stop squeezing yourself into expectations that were never designed for you in the first place. Whether you’re a business owner, a leader, a creator, or an ambitious woman navigating your own path, this episode will remind you that you don’t have to choose between success and being yourself - you can have both.
