Born just outside Edmonton, Erin Holowach and her husband Travis are the minds behind ComFree, which is a name well-known by anyone involved in Edmonton real estate in the early 2000's. Nowadays, Erin and Travis run its spiritual successor, homeFree, and are bringing fully supported private sales back to the real estate market.In 2009, in an attempt to take ComFree to the national level, the pair entered into a merger- which unfortunately had disastrous results. Other shareholders had different plans for the company, bringing an end to ComFree and leaving Erin and Travis reeling.Over the next 12 years, in search of a new business plan, Erin and Travis became full-time entrepreneurs. As it turns out, real estate was their specialty: they were involved in quite a few startups, investments and mergers, culminating in the creation of homeFree. In Erin's own words from her biography, she also "Continues to be involved in multiple entrepreneurs’ organizations, leadership summits and business coaching, helping other leaders and entrepreneurs grow and operate their business to their fullest potential."To learn more about Erin, follow her on LinkedIn or Facebook.

Come and listen to a story about how a group of talented experts have developed a credit card sized kit that can save people who are having a heart attack.About half of adult Canadians have at least one risk factor for a heart attack; diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, family history over the age of 55. One third of those of Canadians who have a heart attack will die before they get to medical attention. James Stewart, an engineer, says he’s had “friends and relatives who have died of a heart attack. So that's been my motivation right from the beginning. I've used to carry ASA and nitroglycerin in a baggie and I've carried this in my emergency kit for a long time. And it wasn't until somebody who came with me on one of these snowmobiling excursions actually mentioned to me, ‘What are those pills you have in your emergency kit?’. And I said, ‘Well, that's ASA and Nitroglycerin’. And the fellow was studying nursing at Grant McEwen College, and he told me that, ‘Hey, those nitroglycerin pills, they will have expired. And I said, ‘Well, what do you mean?’ He said, ‘Well, nitroglycerin reacts with air and light and layers itself on plastic and metal. So those pills you're packing probably hold no potency’."Stewart did some research and learned that this was all true. He needed to invent a packaging that would be stable so as to ensure that the medication remains stable for a long period of time.Stewart called up his friend, a renowned oncologist, Dr. John Mackey and the idea resonated with him too. Together, Stewart and Mackey came up with the idea of a heart attack card called SmHeartCard. It is a credit-card sized pill holder designed to save the lives of people who are having a heart attack. It holds 4ASA (81mg) and 3 Nitroglycerin (0.3 mg) pills, the standard medications given for the initial treatment of heart attack and angina.With the help of Dr. Neil Davies, a pharmacist who did the testing of the heart attack card, they proved that the pills can be stored safely for six months in the heart attack card.Learn more about the SMHeartCard at the Festival of Health on May 25.

"I spent much of my life tutoring and mentoring children in French. When I became a mother of two young boys, I began putting together plans on how I wanted them to learn French from birth onwards. This ignited a spark in me to offer it to other families who were seeking extra support within their children’s education.I was brought up in Edmonton, Alberta learning both English and French in tandem, since birth. I attended french schooling my entire life. I took what I learned in grade school, and put it towards achieving my Bachelor of Arts degree from the Campus St.Jean/University of Alberta. Following, I earned my professional diploma in Public Relations. Any program that involved extensive writing, I signed up for it. Language Arts has always been a deep rooted passion of mine.I am so humbled by the amazing community of teachers, instructors, parents, and students that have entrusted me with their educational experiences! I continue to learn from our community, to keep optimizing what we offer. I look forward to continuing to grow our amazing Tutor Teach community."Lara Courtepatte offers genuine connection alongside helping students through these unprecedented times that have caused some academic and social setbacks through her company, TutorTeach.

Heather goes into detail about her stage 4 cancer diagnosis, how it caused a powerful revelation in her, and how to unlock that potential within yourself without first having to receive devastating news. From Heather's own words:"I tried desperately to make sure my kids were happy and kept telling myself, “It’s only a phase - this will get better with time,” all while continuing to pour from an empty cup at the expense of myself.The internal pressure I felt spilled out into my whole life. I was a tense and exhausted mom, partner, businesswoman, and friend.In the end, spinning my wheels almost killed me.A year after my youngest son was born I was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer, and the illusion of control I held so tightly to came crashing down.In the blink of an eye I saw just how far away I was from living a life I actually wanted. I knew I couldn’t keep living the same way if I wanted to experience real joy and fulfillment.As the chemo dripped into my body, I decided that I didn’t just want to survive. I wanted to FEEL ALIVE.I consciously began to reparent myself and say no to my old excuses. What happened next blew me away.I started noticing a shift in my children’s behavior. I saw greater success in my business. My health began to improve. My relationships grew more connected.Don’t make the same mistake I did. Don’t wait for an unexpected diagnosis to wake you up to making the changes in your life you’ve put on the backburner.You are WORTHY of feeling good, NOW."For more info on Heather and where to find her book, courses, and much more, visit her website.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

A paradox - something that makes sense but doesn’t make sense - is the only way to describe how living a messy, challenging life makes it a better one. Choices born of naivety, insecurity, and the awful-beautiful-unthinking way a young adult navigates the world is how it went for me. A need to feel loved, a fast engagement, and back-to-back pregnancies are what happened; addiction, disability, and death are what made it interesting. We don’t plan for messy - we plan for perfection, but the messiness of the human experience is where the gold is. Messy is what sets you up for humility, empathy, connection, and gratitude. Messy is what allows you to arrive in new spaces & places with a sense of purpose and preparedness. Messy is what has made my life hard and meaningful and scary and worth living. See? Paradox at its finest. Contact Informationemail: katie@kelloinclusive.orgWebsite: https://www.kelloinclusive.org/Instagram: @kelloinclusivePersonal Instagram: @mskatie__jSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The question shouldn’t be, 'Am I an alcoholic'? Instead, ask yourself, 'Does alcohol negatively impact my life'?For Heather Novak, the answer became very clear. She then had a desire for more clarity within. Giving up alcohol allowed for so much more growth & became one of the best decisions Heather has ever made. "I promised myself that I would have all the honest conversations I didn’t want to have with myself & others because those are the ones that matter. I decided to no longer hide my words because hiding them hide me. I decided I was no longer a slave to my fears & the opinions of others. I decided that I would live with honesty, an open heart and mind, along with the willingness to heal. Allowing always MORE LOVE."Trigger warning: this episode contains anecdotes of child neglect, alcoholism, and childhood trauma.
