Bubbly. Outgoing. Fearless. Energetic. According to decades of feedback from friends, colleagues, family, teachers and random passersby, that’s who I am. Sure, I’ve been described differently along the way, but those words are the ol’ go-tos. If the same adjectives […]
A note from Stefanie: I mentioned to you guys that my new hire was someone dear to my heart. This is a sliver of what makes her the compassionate, inspiring, incredible woman I’ve had the good fortune of watching her […]
When someone tells me they’re blissfully in the honeymoon phase I have to actively repress a laugh. WTF is the honeymoon phase? Sure, I remember the nervous butterflies at the beginning of every relationship. That unsure, excited, trying-to-put-your-best-foot-forward feeling must […]
I find the psychology behind marketing fascinating. If a 30 second commercial can make someone laugh or cry, that advertising team is doing something right. There have been countless studies done to ensure the correct demographic is being targeted, and […]
I noted a few months back that I was bringing on my first employee, and how the job was going to be a weird spattering of social media, editing and reigning in my constant brainstorming. Over the last couple of […]
British Columbia: born here, raised here, now living back here. Needless to say, this isn’t my usual A Broad Abroad post. Both of my parents were born outside of Toronto, and moved west days after getting hitched. Years later, on […]
Ibiza is to my adulthood as Disneyland was to my childhood: There’s no happier place on earth. So in honour of my favourite island ending yet another season, here’s a little peek at it from my perspective. From the second […]
While trolling Facebook a while back, a particular Elite Daily article caught my eye. I clicked. I laughed. I moved on with my day. A week later, another post caught my eye and I noticed that the article was written by […]
Gratitude. I’m told it will fill me with happiness, and make me feel more present. I’m also told my generation is entitled, we don’t appreciate what’s given to us, and we complain about every little thing that goes wrong. “First […]
So you’ve left your shopping to the last minute, huh? As the herds of people at the mall will show you, you’re not alone. They say failing to plan is planning to fail, and I’m 99% sure they were talking […]
Since I was a mini-broad I’ve loved surprising people – occasionally to my parents’ dismay. They’d often arrive home from a round of golf and I’d done something like cover their kitchen in flowers (aka: dandelions and other weeds), and […]
Spoiler alert: There’s a discount code at the bottom of this post. #getit! It’s no secret that I advocate travel, exploration, and getting out of your comfort zone as much as possible. One of my deepest beliefs is that human […]
Ah, social norms. *sigh*. What a wonderfully traditional pain in the ass. It seems everything used to be so cookie cutter. If you were invited to a wedding you knew what to expect and what was expected of you. It […]
“Raise your hand if you’ve been personally victimized by your own self-destruction.” – Mean Girls. (K, lies. I’m paraphrasing a bit.) We’re all guilty of getting a little sidetracked from our goals, or even from properly prioritizing what we want to […]
Dearest Ex-Boyfriends, It’s odd to loop the lot of you very different guys together. If, by freak coincidence, I ended up in a room with all of you I’d probably keel over in a state of equal parts shock, embarrassment […]
