Forget Taylor's tour sparking the eras trend. Twenty years ago, I lived in my IDGAF era. Rocked the leather jacket, mastered the icy stare – the whole "stone cold bitch" persona.

Except it wasn't IDGAF, it was IDARA: "I Don't Actually Give A Rat's Ass" about my own pain.

Turns out, that facade is about as healthy as a week-old burrito.

Let me tell you why peeling back those layers is where the real magic happens. The HCHC

Today I sat down with Curtis Korchinski, friend, entrepreneur, husband to Jordan and father to 2 amazing kids. Curtis shares his story of "coming out of the closet" , addiction, family and his views on the woke agenda.

Growing up in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and being the middle child between 2 amazing sisters, Curtis Korchinski felt the pressure of being groomed to take over the family business, along with marrying a nice Catholic girl to raise our children.

By Grade 9, he feared that would not be an ideal plan for himself and struggled with the societal influences that were prominently displayed throughout his upbringing, in the media and within their family. Curtis left home at 17 to figure life out, and found his home in the hospitality industry at age 19. After a few years of battling the internal demons he had created for himself. He finally came out and cleaned up his addictive behaviour. In 2003 Curtis met the true love of his life, Jordan. They started seeing each other shortly after and were married in February 2005.

Being adopted, Curtis always wanted to pay it forward so Jordan and himself eventually became fathers to 2 sons, while owning & operating 2 restaurants. My Mom's family is very musical, so I started a band with a close friend of his (Amanda Hagel) in 2004 and have been playing gigs ever since, and in a few other local bands as well. His other hobby is competitive bodybuilding which he's been involved in since 2011. His career has shifted from hospitality to commercial real estate and he truly enjoys the company he works with and the clients he represents.

Curtis and Jordan are very fortunate to be fathers to their sons, and are very thankful for their health, and an amazing group of friends and family. TheHcHc

Energized at the MYM Conference

Last weekend, I buzzed with energy at the MYM Conference hosted by Sarah Swain. It was an inspiring gathering of 400 people: entrepreneurs, doctors, investors, lawyers, energy workers, artists, and everyone in between.

We delved into the importance of reconnecting with our bodies and pursuing business on our own terms. We also explored how fear is often a self-created story, and in most cases, simply untrue.

Fear can hold anyone back. We've all succumbed to it at some point, letting it talk us out of our dreams. But that's changing!

The need for a change in coaching within junior sports has become increasingly evident, as aggressive coaching styles no longer yield positive results. Such approaches, often characterized by intense pressure and a win-at-all-costs mentality, can lead to burnout, diminished self-esteem, and a negative overall experience for young athletes.

Instead, there is a growing recognition that coaching should focus on nurturing a supportive and encouraging environment. This shift prioritizes personal development, enjoyment of the sport, and the cultivation of essential life skills such as teamwork, perseverance, and respect.

By adopting more empathetic and constructive coaching methods, we can ensure that junior sports programs not only produce skilled athletes but also foster well-rounded individuals who are prepared for future challenges both on and off the field, ice or court!

Taking a chance on yourself isn't just about blind optimism—it's about summoning the courage to bet on your own potential, no matter the circumstances. It's about embracing the unknown, even when the road ahead seems shrouded in fog.

So go ahead, take that leap of faith. Trust in your abilities, even when doubt comes knocking at your door. Because when you bet on yourself, you're not just rolling the dice—you're making a wager on the most valuable asset you'll ever have: you. And who knows? That leap of faith just might be the catalyst for your greatest triumph yet.
