As someone who has experienced firsthand what the power of research can do, I am honoured to be writing for this forward-thinking organization. Research brings us more options and opportunities when faced with treatment decisions. Each person I have the pleasure of meeting is delving into something new and exciting and I’m excited to help them share their work.
If you are someone who is looking for information on research that is currently being done, WE-SPARK is a place to start. I’ll be posting links to my articles as they are published.

SHANNON CURTIS | THE POWER OF OUR EMOTIONS: THEY CAN EITHER FUEL US OR WRAP US AROUND THE AXLES
After 25 years of songwriting, Shannon Curtis, a self-employed working artist and natural night owl, embarks on an inspiring journey of reclaiming her peace and power, providing a unique door to connection and a chance to create something better in the world.
"When we stand and act in our power, it's not a matter of belief - I know it because I've experienced it. That brings me peace. That brings my spirit a sense of serenity."
Shannon Curtis was a self-employed working artist who started writing and recording music at a young age with little confidence in her talents. Now, Shannon understands that music is a powerful way to connect with others and share stories of healing and growth. After becoming consumed by the state of the world and the pandemic, Shannon decided to take an intentional deep dive back into her Twelve Step Recovery Codependent Program.

"It's about helping them get some of the structure in place so that they will be ahead of the game and don't maybe have to go through some of the challenges that Douglas and I did over the years - keep coming back to those values. You'll make better business decisions as a result of that."
Anthea Mumby started working in her parents' insurance broker business at the age of 13., side by side with her father for over 20 years. In her mid 30's she purchased the business and worked with her spouse. Over the decades revenues grew 10 times and they became the niche experts for Canada's architectural and design community and maintained client retention of over 92% year after year.
Anthea made the tough decision to become a consultant, and sold the family business in 2020. She and her partner have had many disruptions, coming close to the brink. She now helps couple-owned businesses to create a legacy of wealth and well-being.
Key things we talk openly about:
💥 Setting boundaries between work and home, the tension moving from one domain to another.
💥 How can you and your life partner enhance each other's skills and capabilities in order to effectively grow your business together?
💥 Disruption Serves!
💥 As a parent, what can we do to model self-care for our children?
