    Apr 29 2024

    Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from past episodes that you might have missed.

    If you’ve been feeling sluggish, tired, negative and like you're sleepwalking through your life, you've come to the right place. Sometimes the fix to low mood and energy is lifestyle tweaks, the proper supplement protocol (listen in for the surprising supplement that can help with depression), and direct sunlight.

    So I called in the biohacking pro, Chloe Deutscher. Chloe is a chemical engineer who has dedicated her career to the intersection of science, consciousness, and mental health. She’s the co-founder and the CEO of Liquid Culture, a biotech company focused on novel fungi manufacturing and developing innovative products for optimal wellbeing. She shares her actionable tips, knowledge, and experience in the fields of biohacking, mental health, and psychedelics on her popular TikTok account, where she empowers people to overcome mental health challenges like ADHD, anxiety, and depression.

  • Forgiving Ourselves For The Past And Compassionately Accepting All The Versions We've Been | I’m The Problem It’s Me
    Apr 10 2024

    Welcome back to my new series “I’m the problem, it’s me,” where I call bullshit on myself for the self-sabotage and mistakes I keep on making, because that’s the stuff that teaches us the most.

    Today is a vulnerable one. Remember that recent “show me you at 21” trend that circulated on social media? Well that deep-dive through old photo albums and Facebook timelines sent me into a certifiable spiral. Reflecting on who I was in my teens and early 20s, I was confronted with a tidal wave of self hate over how I looked and dressed, how much I drank, how obnoxiously and overly-sexualized I present myself, and how disconnected I seemed to be from who I really am.

    The judgment and shame towards my past self was overwhelming, until I realized that my current self is in fact the problem. It’s easy to be critical in hindsight, but when we were young, we were almost always doing the best we could with what we knew.

    I’ve spent a good chunk of adulthood resenting the versions of myself that came before this one. So it’s me, Gill, I’m the problem, it's me. And in today’s episode I’m rewriting my relationship with my past, and choosing compassion.

    Join me as I dive into:

    • Why looking into my past brought up so much shame
    • How accepting our past selves can lead to more confidence and compassion
    • Aiming for neutrality and acceptance VS unconditional self-love
    • The power of inner child work
    • The tools I’m using to build self-compassion and change my self-talk
    • Why you should write letters to your past self
    • Learning from the versions of ourselves that we’ve outgrown
    • Why growth and change can go hand-in-hand with grief

    I hope we can all learn to love the past eras that brought us to this one, and in the meantime, know that I love you.

  • How To Live Sustainably And Make Eco-Friendly Changes That Actually Make A Difference, with Julia Grieve | Earth Month Throwback
    Apr 3 2024

    It’s earth month, and every April we find ourselves reevaluating our consumption habits and examining how we can lower our carbon footprint. But TBH, it feels hella stressful.

    It's overwhelming trying to track alllll the things we're “supposed” to be doing. Between buying sustainable food, conserving water, shopping secondhand, swapping to eco-friendly appliances and tech, composting, and reducing waste, the list feels never-ending, and it feels like we're just not doing enough.

    So we're throwing it back to an honest and tactical episode that changed our perspective on sustainable living, with the accidental environmentalist herself, Jules Grieve. Because it's easy to let perfect become the enemy of good, and being environmentally conscious is about finding realistic swaps that actually work with your lifestyle. Going green is a game of progress over perfection.

    Julia is a TV personality, entrepreneur, fashion designer, former international model, and founder of the incredible Preloved, North America’s leading sustainable fashion brand that has diverted over a million sweaters from landfills.

    She’s CityLine’s eco expert and regularly appears on Global News and in Canada’s biggest media outlets. Her mission is to show people how simple changes, over time, can have a huge impact, and she’s showing the world how we can take an eco-friendly approach to home design, health, food, fashion and lifestyle.

    Tune in as we chat about:

    • How Julia became the “accidental environmentalist” and started her brand, Preloved
    • Julia’s top sustainable swaps that anyone can make
    • Tips for cutting out plastic and reducing your waste
    • Working towards a circular economy
    • Ways to repair, upcycle, and thrift to extend the lifecycle of our things
    • Hacks for cutting down on food waste, and the truth about recycling
    • Why we should be mindful of our water consumption
