Have you ever considered using your fear to subside your fear? According to Sarah Landry (The Birds Papaya), if you're terrified of the worst case scenario, crime story podcasts are the way to go!On this episode we have the privilege of speaking to the famous, yet super humble Sarah Landry, known to many as The Birds Papaya. Sarah provides an insight into the world of social media in a way not often seen or heard. We highly recommend you take a listen, then take the key messaging back to your children. Social media has such an unbelievable opportunity for community growth, but if we're not careful... there is a real hurtful side to it.

S4 E159 - Transferable Skills
As many of you know, Ryan loves sports. He loves the comradery, the passion, the skill and the excitement of the game (all games); but little know how much he attributes his life to sports and how important is is for him, his friendships, his business and his style of parenting. That's why when SportChek asked us to partner up with them, Ryan and I jump at the opportunity. When they told us we'd be working alongside an 2x Olympic Gold medalist and 8x World Champion Meaghan Mikkelson (Team Canada), it was a no brainer.For those of you struggling with the idea (time, energy, $, health concerns) of putting your kids through sports this episode will shine a light on positive aspects of sports - dedication, drive, commitment, teamwork and the transferable lessons that come with winning and losing. Meaghan, being at the top of the world has such a wonderful take on the topic; and we're sure you'll love every second of it!Connect with Meaghan:IGThis Episode is sponsored by Sport Chek :Find what team sport moves you at SportChek by visiting your local store or going to www.sportchek.ca Learn more about your ad choices.
