Some brain chemistry-altering quotes from Sasha in today’s episode:
“It is only the friction between where you are and where you want to be — which is called tension — that shuts us down and makes us feel stuck.”
“Our definition of success is doing what I said I would do, with clarity, focus, ease & grace.”
If you're feeling stuck, lost, or burnt out, join us for a deep look at how to overcome mental blocks and move forward in alignment with your purpose.

Welcome to today’s ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed.
In honour of earth month, we're taking a look at our consumption habits and how we can lower our carbon footprint in a way that's actually sustainable.
So we're throwing it back to tactical advice on sustainable living, with "accidental environmentalist" Jules Grieve. It's easy to let perfect become the enemy of good (sustainability is a game of progress over perfection) so we cover doable ways to cut out plastic and reduce waste, the truth about recycling, and how to change our water consumption.
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.
