The girl out there

Luke holds belief that you are God - not “a” God in the inflated, egocentric sense although that's certainly true of some more than others - but as One, inseparable from that which created and connects everyone and everything. Luke is a modern seeker whose life was transformed by a spontaneous Kundalini rising that dissolved the boundaries of who he thought he was. His one secure long-term love vanished in an instant, and he was suddenly thrust into a direct encounter with consciousness itself. The experience revealed the answers to all his existential quandaries. What happens when we die? Why are we here? What is the meaning of life? Does God exist? His insights felt too profound not to share them so he wrote a memoir called finding the Beauty way.With clarity, humility, sprinkles of humor, and reverence for the unseen, Luke bridges the mystical with the everyday, inviting readers to rediscover the wisdom already within them.finding the Beauty way - a memoir of healing, surrender, and remembering who we truly are - is Luke’s debut authorship. His pages call you to slow down and tune into the whisper inside you that knows you were never broken, never separate—you simply are … God within. No big deal!

Happy Friday, friends! Pull up a chair, grab your drink of choice, and let's close out this week together.Today's episode is a little bit of everything — which honestly feels just right for a Friday.First up, I'm taking a moment to celebrate my son's birthday. There's something about watching your kid hit another milestone that makes you stop, look around, and just feel grateful. I'm sharing a few reflections on that today — the kind of thoughts that sneak up on you in the best way.From there, we drift (as we always do) into the random thoughts corner of my brain — the observations, questions, and musings that have been living rent-free in my head this week. No agenda, no filter, just the stuff that's been on my mind.And then — the thing I've been quietly excited about — I'm pulling back the curtain a little on my new course, which is set to launch this fall. It's still evolving, still taking shape, but I wanted to bring you along for the ride early. We'll talk about where the idea came from, where it's headed, and what I'm hoping it does for the people who take it.It's a full heart kind of Friday. Let's get into it.

One year ago, she finished her last round of chemo. This week, she celebrated by jumping out of a plane.Dear Diary sits down with The Girl Out There to mark a milestone worth shouting from the sky — literally. Together, they strapped in, counted down, and leapt into the blue to celebrate one full year of The Girl Out There being on the other side of cancer treatment. In this episode, the two share every heart-pounding, wind-rushing, tear-filled moment of their skydiving adventure — from the pre-jump nerves to the pure euphoria of freefall to the quiet reflection that came after landing.It's a conversation about reclaiming your body, choosing joy, and what it means to truly feel alive after fighting so hard to stay that way. You'll laugh, you might cry, and you'll probably start Googling skydiving spots near you.Here's to one year. Here's to jumping. Here's to everything that comes next.🎧 Listen now wherever you get your podcasts.#DearDiary #TheGirlOutThere #CancerSurvivor #OneYearCancerFree #Skydiving #Podcast #ChemoWarrior #CelebrationEpisode

Gold Bells & Red StickersOne year ago I finished chemo. Nobody hands you a guidebook for what comes after — the strange, beautiful, disorienting life on the other side. In this episode, I share what the pamphlet never told me: how you can hold gratitude and grief in the same two hands. How the world feels both extraordinary and completely foreign. And how I spent months dreaming of ringing a gold bell, only to be handed a little red sticker like I'd just graduated to the potty.This one is for everyone who finished the hard thing and then quietly wondered: now what?#Thrivercancer #recoverygrief #gratitudelife #aftercancer

Lesley Fornelli is a perimenopausal psychic on a mission: helping women step through the peri portal into more wealth, visibility, freedom, and full self expression. Through energetic attunement and embodied leadership, she's showing midlife women that this season isn't a slowdown it's a power up.You don't want to miss this one! I loved how this conversation has reframed so much of my day to day thoughts.

This episode is a conversation about noticing what’s changing, what’s getting louder, and what we can’t ignore anymore.Dear Diary shares what it’s like living with chronic headaches, and how that shapes her days in ways most people don’t see.I talk about stepping into a new career, not as a reinvention story, but as part of paying closer attention to what feels right now and what doesn’t.We also get into the growing awareness around things like perimenopause, and how much of this stage of life is about finally having language for experiences we didn’t fully understand before.It’s less about “figuring things out” and more about recognizing what’s happening in real time and responding to it honestly.

This week, I welcome my cousin Mandy Ryan to talk about the deep work behind The Room.What began as my own healing process; writing my life story and stepping onto the stage to share it became something much bigger than either of us expected.We unpack what actually happens when you move through your story in this way… not just reflecting on it, but embodying it.From that experience, we’ve created The Room: a 6-month container where you honour your own healing process, shape one meaningful piece of your story, and ultimately bring it to life on stage.This isn’t about performance.It’s about presence.And what becomes possible when you allow yourself to be seen.

This episode is a simple check-in from right where I am.We talk about hair growth, speed dating, pickleball, preparing for my upcoming performance—and whatever else happens to surface along the way. Nothing is planned and nothing needs to make sense. It’s just a conversation rooted in the moment, noticing what’s here without turning it into a lesson.This episode isn’t about insight or outcomes. It’s about presence. About enjoying the small, ordinary details of life as they’re unfolding and letting that be enough.A casual pause. A little laughter. A reminder that being here counts.Mind the gap… don’t mind.Have a blissful day.

In this episode, I sit down with Chantel Funk @chantel.funk salon owner, master hairstylist, and mom—to talk about navigating seasons of life that don’t come with a roadmap.Chantel shares her experience moving through personal loss, supporting her child through a bone marrow transplant, and running a business while feeling stretched thin. We talk honestly about burnout, learning to slow down, and what it takes to stay grounded when life keeps asking more of you.Out of these experiences, Chantel created Unbound—a body of work and programs designed to help women step out of survival mode, reconnect with themselves, and build confidence from the inside out. In this conversation, she shares what Unbound really means to her, why it isn’t about fixing yourself, and how small shifts in self-trust can change everything.This episode is for anyone who’s been holding it together for a long time and is ready for something more steady, more honest, and more sustainable

Today’s conversation is one I want to have more of.It’s the kind of chat that moves effortlessly between the seen and the unseen: between career, creativity, motherhood, intuition, energy, and the moments in life that quietly change everything.My guest today is Stefanie McAuley a writer, marketing strategist, and the founder of Broad World. On paper, she’s worked with some of the biggest brands on the planet—Nike, Nestlé, Coca-Cola, Stella Artois, Benefit Cosmetics, and more. She’s lived on three continents, traveled to over fifty countries, worked in action sports, global media, tech, and publishing… and helped thousands of brands find their voice in an ever-changing world.But that’s not why I invited her here.I invited Stefanie because beneath the strategy and success is a woman deeply connected to intuition, energy, and life’s quieter truths. We talk about her near-death experience as a child, the windows of intuition that open when we’re willing to listen, and how her life has shifted from being purely career-driven to embracing motherhood, presence, and a more soulful way of being.This isn’t a formal interview. It’s a real conversation about energy woven into everyday life, about trusting what you feel even when it doesn’t fit neatly into a job title, and about what happens when we let ourselves evolve.So settle in. This is a conversation about life.

Welcome to another chat with Dear Diary and I...just a reflection of the weeks that have just passed with light discussion of two women going through it all!

Mariel Heather is a shamanic guide, intuitive healer, and breast cancer survivor who has spent years helping others decode their body's messages and heal from the inside out.

Her mission is to help women differentiate between trauma and intuition so they can build a deeper relationship with their body, their truth, and their purpose. Her debut book is on submission with Rosecliff Literary.

In this Season 6 opener, Cindy and Dear Diary catch up after life’s latest turns — exploring how to return to yourself after change.They talk about healing through humour, noticing everyday energy, finding joy in simple things, and creating balance that actually feels like living.If you’ve ever had to rebuild, restart, or just get back up again — this one’s for you.#TheGirlOutThere #PodcastLaunch #Season6 #HolyShift #DearDiary #EnergyAlchemy #EverydayEnergy #SimpleJoy #HealingWithHumour #AwarenessPractice #JoyPractice #PresenceOverPerfection #RealLifeMagic #ComeBackHome #SelfAwarenessJourney #MindfulLiving #ReWildYourself #ModernMystic #CoffeeAndConsciousness

July energy was all about taking a leap for ourselves. Saying what we want and what we don't want. Dear Diary and I have been fully embracing this energy and finally get a chance to catch up with each other on the last day of the month!

Meet Jessica Dasler—stage 4 colorectal cancer thriver, mom, and advocate from North Vancouver.

She’s using her voice and experience to help other cancer patients get the best care possible—to live longer and enjoy a better quality of life. Using HOPE TO LIVE

Simple and easy reflection for where I am right now. Isn't it powerful that we carry pieces and stories of ourselves always. It is just important that we can make space within us in an understanding way. I am here with such gratitude and sharing so much love for my friends and family. WE DID IT!

I talk about the power of community, the magic of numerology, and how a new home can hold new energy for healing. I also reflect on aging with grace (sort of), letting go of appearances, and reconnecting deeply with myself. It’s a conversation filled with honesty, wisdom, and a reminder that even in the hardest seasons, there’s space for self-love and hope. Let’s dive in.

One minute the race was just beginning and I was tying my shoes at the starting line and suddenly I am seeing the finish line become closer and closer. As I get to that end mark...I realize some interesting things...I begin to discuss them today.

After years of monitoring her health due to a Lynch syndrome diagnosis (a genetic mutation predisposing her to colon and endometrial cancers), Stacy Graham thought she was prepared for anything—until life handed her a completely unrelated challenge: stage 3 triple-negative breast cancer.In this episode, Stacy shares her experience navigating the highs, the lows, and the uncertain in-betweens—accepting the hard days, making the most of the good ones, and doing her best with whatever each day brought. Her treatment journey included six months of chemotherapy, three surgeries (with one more pending), 25 rounds of radiation, and another six months of clinical trial chemotherapy to help reduce the risk of recurrence.More than a story of survival, Stacy’s cancer journey became a powerful catalyst for transformation. It led her to revisit her deepest values, realign her goals, and ultimately step away from a successful corporate career in senior leadership to pursue a life more aligned with her purpose.Today, just seven months out from her final chemotherapy session and three months post-surgery, Stacy is in the practicum phase of becoming an ICF-certified Life Coach. Known as the “What’s Next?!” Coach and founder of Return Stronger, she helps others figure out what's next for them—whether that means breaking unhealthy habits, rebuilding a new life, or reconnecting with their purpose and moving confidently toward it.Stacy believes we are never guaranteed tomorrow—so love fiercely, live fully, and chase your dreams today.Learn more about Stacy’s story and her work at returnstronger.ca.

In this episode, Dear Diary and I catch up on life lately. She shares her RV adventure with her husband—so much beauty, nature, and those sweet retirement-vibes starting to sneak in. I open up about the peaceful joy I'm discovering in the quiet spaces of life. It's all about appreciating the little things and finding connection in the calm.

Today, you’ll meet Danielle Sallam — a mystic human I’ve had the honour of witnessing unfold. Dani did both levels of energy training at Bliss, and it’s been pure joy watching her trust herself more deeply in this mysterious, beautiful world of energy as well as taking a giant leap of moving from Vancouver to Dubai.She is now a sound healer. A space holder. A quiet guide who walks you back home — through stillness, vibration, and the tender medicine of meditation.In this episode, we talk about healing. About what it means to grow, to listen, to follow that inner nudge, even when it is not what we want to hear. We dive into sound as a sacred tool, the rough patches and softness of moving to Dubai, and the wild wisdom of nature.There’s a thread that runs through it all — self-trust, self-discovery, and that quiet, bright light we all carry inside.

Today, I’m sharing a glimmer of where I am in this wild journey—honestly and with realism.I’m about halfway through my treatment. I’m in the valley, deep in the tough parts, but at the same time, I’m starting to see the light—and it’s shining with so much more brilliance than I ever expected.I’ve heard it said that those who can feel the depths of sorrow are also capable of experiencing the truest love. And that’s becoming more and more real for me. And in sharing it, I hope to create space for truth—yours and mine.

Dear Diary and I are back after a very long period of silence. Well who am I kidding?!? Dear Diary and I are never quiet but we have just not done a podcast in a while! So, I felt the nudge to start putting these back on again. Here we go!!

Tune on in with me as I share the humble and strong journey I am on right now...sharing only what I can do best- my own story, this part about breast cancer.

It has been some time since I last spoke into this space, and I’ve gone back and forth on whether to return. And now, well, now it feels like the time has arrived—not just for me, but for anyone who might want to lean in, listen, and perhaps find something here for themselves as well.I’m starting a new journey now, one I never expected to take: a journey with breast cancer. And I’ve been wondering how I want to share this story, how I want to speak about it and where. But in the quiet of these thoughts, I realized this is the place for me. This space. Here, I can pour my words and my heart, in all their rawness, their messiness, their uncertainty.And so I return. For myself, and for anyone else who needs to hear something, anything, that might make this journey a little less daunting.

I've heard so many fascinating stories over the years from people trying to make sense of the unexplainable. Some have had a few experiences, while others have kept their tales hidden for years. I'm on a mission to step out of my own "spiritual" closet and show that these big emotions and experience are totally normal for so many of us.For ages, we’ve been told that anything beyond the rational is off-limits or just “woo woo.” So, let’s break free from those “woo woo” closets and start sharing our stories!

Dear Diary is back and stress suddenly disappeared as we came together and began to honestly chatnabout life and the rollercoaster of the beginning of new routines, exhausation of getting up early again and so much more that Fall brings us all with a hint of laughter!

Welcome back RAINA! I believe just like a book you read, it is important to bring back people to the podcasts to hear the different chapters of their lives- we change with experiences! Raina has published her first book BARE and so much has opened for her...even since the few weeks since we recorded this episode: congratulations RAINA AND MJ on their engagement. Here is a little bit on Raina's bio: I feel as if I’ve lived 100 different lives in the several decades I’ve been roaming this planet, you may feel the same way.  I’ve maneuvered through bankruptcy, addiction, divorce, illness leading to an ileostomy, recovery, single parenting, traveling, relocating, dating, and more - collecting the tools, lessons, and experiences that have shaped me.  I’m currently a single mom to two teenage girls, three dogs, and two horses navigating entrepreneurship & adulting while following what lights me up and brings me joy.  For a decade, I identified as a health & fitness coach. 

Picture this: a regular girl with a knack for tripping over her own feet, somehow stumbling into the mystical world. Spoiler alert—I didn’t see it coming. But between awkward moments, unexpected epiphanies, and a lot of laughs, I found myself on a wild journey to the divine. Who knew enlightenment could be so wonderfully weird? I have been sitting with very unedited memoir filled with terrible grammar and many pages that don't make sense for over a decade. I figure I can keep staring at those pages for another decade or two and do nothing or I can just trust this feeling in me that is saying “share the words in any way you can and the rest will sort itself out”…. So let it all begin!

Today, we're diving into the fascinating realm of the throat chakra, an energy center crucial for communication and self-expression. Join us as we explore how this chakra influences our ability to speak our truth, connect authentically, and foster creativity. Discover practical tips and insights on balancing and harnessing the power of the throat chakra in our daily lives. Whether you're new to chakras or a seasoned explorer, this episode promises to illuminate and inspire. Stay tuned as we unravel the mysteries of the throat chakra together

Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of chakras, focusing on the heart chakra, also known as Anahata. This energy centre, nestled at the center of our chest, is often referred to as the bridge between the physical and spiritual realms. The heart chakra's name, Anahata, translates to "unhurt" or "unstruck," reflecting its association with unconditional love, compassion, and emotional resilience. Imagine it as the powerful force that governs our ability to give and receive love, not just to others but to ourselves as well. Radiating a vibrant green colour, the heart chakra is linked to the element of air, symbolizing openness and freedom. Its symbol is a twelve-petaled lotus flower with a star-shaped geometric design, representing balance and harmony. When aligned, the heart chakra fills us with a sense of peace, empathy, and joy. It encourages us to form deep, meaningful connections and embrace the world with an open heart. However, when not aligned, it can lead to feelings of loneliness, jealousy, or emotional pain. In today's episode, we'll explore the physical and emotional aspects of the heart chakra, discuss signs of imbalance, and share powerful techniques to heal and balance this vital energy centre. Whether it's through meditation, yoga, affirmations, or simple acts of kindness, there are many ways to nurture your heart chakra and enhance your overall well-being.

In the world of spirituality and energy healing, the solar plexus chakra holds significant importance. Located in the upper abdomen, this chakra governs our self-esteem, personal power, and sense of identity. It's like our inner sun, radiating confidence and vitality when balanced, but causing insecurity and self-doubt when blocked. Join us as we delve into all the details of this magical space and explore how to harness its energy for personal growth and empowerment

The sacral chakra, or Svadhisthana in Sanskrit, is the second chakra in our energetic system. Located in the lower abdomen, just below the navel, it governs our sense of pleasure, passion, and emotional well-being. When balanced, the sacral chakra allows us to experience life with joy, creativity, and a healthy sense of sexuality. However, when blocked or imbalanced, it can lead to emotional instability, creative blocks, and issues with intimacy. In today's episode, we'll explore the significance of the sacral chakra, how it influences our daily lives, and practical tips to keep this energy center vibrant and harmonious. So, whether you're a seasoned yogi or just beginning your journey into the world of chakras, stay tuned as we unlock the secrets of the sacral chakra and learn how to embrace our inner creativity and passion.

Over the next 7 weeks I will be discussing the 7 chakras in detail both here on the podcast as well as on my instagram/tik tok- beginning with the root…. No better place to start!!

 Meet Becky Carlsen! The newest team member of Bliss Space. Here is the bio from our website and some info about Becky. I am so humbled and honoured to share space to share space with such dynamic and wise women. Becky shares today some of her story. Fun fact: I was born in the Yukon!  We moved to BC when I was very young and I have been in the lower mainland ever since.  In High School I naturally gravitated to courses like math and science with success, so without much thought this  became my focus in University.  In my first year of University my mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer.  Then less than 5 years later, while I was working on my Masters my dad was diagnosed with prostate cancer.    My background and my degrees in science and experiences with cancer led me to getting a job in Cancer Research.Through personal experience and work experiences with cancer is where I felt  there was a need for more complementary therapies for people and their families going through these experiences.  I began taking courses in the chemistry of essential oils and their benefits, end of life doula training and deep into the work of reiki.  Energy healing is now a passion of mine and I look forward to sharing this with so many people.

I decided at the beginning of the podcast episode to announce that this is officially SEASON 5. There has been a major energy shift in the last 2 weeks and I am trusting fully as things fall into place. Here we go!
