Trusting Yourself - Dancer, Actor & Entrepreneur Bree Wasylenko
Today I’m chatting with Bree Wasylenko. She made the move to Toronto post high school to pursue her dream of becoming a professional dancer. Over a decade later, she has worked as a dancer in an abundance of films and TV shows (including Top 20 of So You Think You Can Dance Canada, Season 3), performed on stages all around the world, and choreographed for major brands and award winning artists. Bree began her transition to acting with her first role on the hit Family Channel TV show “The Next Step” but you can also find her playing a diverse group of characters from a 1900’s housewife in “Murdoch Mysteries”, to being painted head to toe green as an Orion in “Star Trek: Discovery”. “There’s that famous question people always ask: Where do you see yourself in one year? Five years? Ten? I’ve never been able to answer that question and I LOVE IT. If you’re open to life and it’s magical ways, you never truly know where you will end up. And I think that’s pretty darn cool 🙂.” Bree Wasylenko Journaling Prompts: Where do I feel this in my body? Where is this coming from? What led me here? What can I learn from this? 🙏If you're enjoying the podcast - please leave a review! 🙏 Thanks as always for listening and have the best day yet!⠀ ++ Special props 👇 Producer & Editor - John Balderston Music: Clouds - Joakim Karud ___ How Prepared is Your Team for the Next Big Disruption?

Taking Control Of Your Day w/ Jake Knapp
We are approaching the end of another year. A year I’m sure that was mixed with ups and downs but we are here, in this present moment, together taking time to fuel and train our minds. This I’m incredibly grateful for. It’s also a time of year where we naturally slow down and have more space to reflect. I wanted to share the most popular episode (#36) from the podcast of all time - Taking Control Of Your Day With Jake Knapp. It’s fitting for this time of year as Jake leaves many great insights and practices that can help as you go through your reflection. Two great journaling prompts: Does this feel right in my heart? If I was going to die in a year, how would I spend my time? Jake Knapp is the author of Make Time and the New York Times bestseller Sprint. Jake spent 10 years at Google and Google Ventures, where he created the Design Sprint. He has since coached teams like Slack, Uber, 23andMe, LEGO, and The New York Times on the method. He’s also working on The Highlight Course coming in January 2020 to help people make time for what matters every day!
