I've wanted to do an interview with my mother, Ruth, so she could share her story. She's had an interesting life to say the least and she's often said she'd like to write a book about it all. Well, I'm no author but I'm a bit of a podcaster so I thought this would be a good one.

This episode deals with some heavy issues including the loss of loved ones due to tragic circumstances. There were lots of tears but the main theme of this discussion is perseverance and fortitude, both of which my Mom has in abundance. Her love of family is second to none and I'm fortunate to have her in my life. Love you, Mom!

Also, the first few minutes sound a bit wonky but I sorted the mics out and it got better after the first 10. My endless struggle with audio continues!

Jason is another friend I know from my days at Blended Athletics. Jason is the head of Ralli Marketing and he joined me to talk about his business and his goals to promote and change the business scene in Nova Scotia.

We talked about wanting to be a positive role model in your business and personal life. We touched on mental health, and ways which Jason found to help him get through a difficult moment in his life. Jason talked about the importance of being in the moment, reflecting on who you are and what you value, and pushing yourself to do difficult things for the sake of mental resilience and personal development.

Jason is a good example of a person on a path of self improvement so that he can help the people around him. You can check out Ralli Marketing on their website at https://rallimarketing.com/

Kathy is another Digby famous friend who joined me to tell her story. Kathy didn't have an easy start in life, but she worked hard through school and university to become one of the most successful people I know. We talked about her growth from feeling shame at her circumstances as a kid to being proud of how that lead to her being who she is today.

We talked about the lessons that Kathy learned from a young age up to recently becoming a mother. At one point, she didn't even think that she would ever be a mother but it has been a blessing that has added another valuable perspective to who she is today.

I really enjoyed this conversation and am appreciative of Kathy's openness about her life.

'Don't be a victim. You can actually create the life that you want.'
