While it might be a wrap on season 1, it doesn't mean we're slowing down! In this episode, we open up the trusty notes app and get into what we've got planned for season 2. We'll be back with episodes this summer, and until then, head over to our Instagram and let us know what you think about these emergencies or ones you'd like us to tackle — we'd love to hear it!

Our first responders this week are Calgary artists Michelle Atkinson and Billie Rae Busby. These two have done what many deem impossible, making art their full-time job. Wow, did we cover some territory: Can your heart’s work really be your 9-5? Do creations lose their authenticity or intrinsic value when we monetize them? Can we even appreciate “good art” when we are inundated with content? Strap in and enjoy this worthwhile ride with two incredible women! 3:08 - The journey taken to be...
This week’s first responder is Laura Silver, a certified death doula. We tackle the paradox, as Laura says, that “death is often mentioned subtly and in hushed tones, and yet it is life’s one absolute guarantee.” This conversation was enlightening, heartfelt, and at times downright delightful. She shared the transcendent elements of death but also the practical steps that make all the difference. 2:08 - Laura explains what a death doula is2:40 - How Laura became a death doula7:26 - The g...
Our first responder this week is Matt Widmer, co-founder of Wild Life Distillery. Although Matt’s distillery creates delicious bevies, our topic of conversation was the friendship agreement that he authored. Although it started as a lark, this ‘contractual agreement’ ensures Matt and his business partner Keith Robinson keep their friendship of primary importance. It turns out it’s a beautiful representation of not only how they run WLD, but live their lives. 2:12 - How Wildlife Distillery cam...
This week’s first responders are The Danish Girls, Ali Larsen and Gillian Bell, two members of a Calgary real-estate team.

They also share how they approach the real-estate game a little differently and empower our listeners to do the same. 2:34 - How Ali and Gill got into real estate5:14 - Why th...
Our first responder this week is Angell Kelly, intuitive and spiritual coach. Angell makes the abstract concept of tapping into our intuition concrete as we discuss what it is and what it’s not and where to start if you have no clue. Join us as we experience some major ‘ahas’ in the presence of Angell — we’re confident that that you will too. 2:50 - How Angell arrived at being someone who offers spiritual guidance9:20 - Balancing her 9-5 with spiritual coaching12:35 - Angell’s definition...
Our first responder this week is Jivanya Reddy, Calgary divorce lawyer and family law specialist. She answers our questions about cohabitation and prenuptial agreements. Many people avoid them because they seem unromantic, but we end up finding something pretty hot about the whole thing! We also talk about the importance of wills and how to start seeing them as more than just morbid. 2:34 - Jivanya’s path to becoming a lawyer5:14 - WTF is an “adult interdependent relationship”?9:38 - Differen...
The decision to have kids is a big one and thankfully it's becoming less common to assume that it's a 'yes'. Megan and her husband don't have kids and aren't planning to. They were lucky enough for it to be a choice and she talks about whether or not she always knew this would be her decision. 2:55 - The difference between “child-less” and “child-free”5:35 - How Megan came to the decision to be child-free8:35 - Prevalence of auntie culture11:46 - Fear around being child-free16:50 - Megan’s ad...
Our first responder this week is here to help ease the nerves around one of life’s biggest hurdles: a career change. Victoria Morneau, a career strategist and founder of Career Development 101, walks us through our own career worries and reminds us that our career choices can, and maybe should, match the season of life that we are in. Victoria offers questions to ask yourself when thinking about a shift in your career, how our values should guide our job searches, and that we all have our own...
Our first responder this week is Kristyn Snell, founder and CEO of MODERNSPEAK, a global creator management agency and Digitote a project management software for influencer managers. Kristyn understands the wild ride of becoming your own boss and the toxicity of “hustle culture”. She provides a survival kit for entrepreneurs that includes finding your failure, finding your worth and finding your people. 3:10 - Kristyn’s “accidental” path to entrepreneurship7:10 - Kristyn’s educational backgro...
Brigitta Catinean of Style by Brigitta is a Calgary based personal stylist and this week's first responder. Brigitta helped us to understand what sustainability really means when it comes to our wardrobes, that when we keep settling we keep shopping, and that finding our personal style is so much more than simply liking our clothes. If you've ever had a meltdown before a special event or felt like you have nothing to wear, this episode is for you! 3:41 - How Style by Brigitta came to be16:08 ...
We'd love to say that we're happy with an off-handed resolution about drinking more water but we're not those kinds of gals. We need deep introspection, descriptive emotional states, and some journaling for good measure. We're reviewing what's in and out for us in 2024 and how we're going to hold each other to it. :40 - Vision for the episode + explaining shadow7:10 - How we define an accountability buddy12:14 - Alyssa’s outs and ins for the year21:53 - Megan’s outs and ins for the year36:40 ...

This week we’re responding to our own emergency: Why were we so cringey on Facebook? Why!? The cringe of our past isn’t isolated to the annals of the Facebook timeline, but we’ve got to start facing our demons, and it might as well be here. Follow us on Insta! @mlnl911pod
Our first responder this week is registered midwife and BFF of the pod, Rae Veillard. Rae dispels common myths around midwifery and walks us through the tenets of midwifery care.

Our first responder this week is Andrew Stewart, a wine connoisseur and director of Vino al Vino, a wine import agency that prioritizes organic practices, biodynamic farming, and low intervention winemaking. This is exactly why we have brought Andrew onto the pod, and frankly, into our living rooms for his incredible wine tastings: to him, wine should be treated the same way as we treat our food, with mindfulness. Andrew walks us through some conscious choices we can make when selecting our w...
Our first responder this week is Ashlen Thomson, interior designer and senior associate with McKinley Studios in Vancouver. She helps us see a path from a design aesthetic that’s purely based on budget to one that is elevated yet realistic.

Our first responder this week is David Fairbanks, a definite automotive aficionado, but don't call him a "car guy".
