Your girl is in The Globe and Mail! 🥳📰

Talking AI. Helping small businesses. And yes, doing a little happy dance! 💃🏾

You’re running the business, answering emails AND trying to post. Somewhere in there, you’re supposed to eat lunch. 😂

I help you get clear on where AI can lighten that load. Business owners, church teams, community groups… that’s my lane. 💡

Who said September was too late to start? 👀

You’ve still got almost 4 months left in 2026.

Start the idea.
Post the video.
Test the offer.
Use the AI. 😂

You’re not starting from scratch.

You’re starting with EXPERIENCE.

40+ and just getting started? I love that for us. 💗

More than 10 years of friendship, Toastmasters, conversations, laughter and cheering each other on.

Jacqueline and I first met through Toastmasters, but somewhere between the speeches, meetings and personal growth, we became real friends.

She has gone on to do amazing work in public speaking and training, helping others develop the confidence to use their voices well.

One thing this friendship continues to remind me is that relationships matter.

Not only when you need a favour.

Not only when you’re looking for an introduction.

Not only when there’s something in it for you.

Sometimes you simply meet good people, stay connected, support each other and allow the friendship to grow.

And over time, those relationships can lead to ideas, opportunities, encouragement and doors you could never have planned for.

Be good to people.

Build real friendships.

Keep in touch.

You never know how your paths may continue to cross.

Grateful for you, Jacqueline. ❤️

Workplace leadership is changing.

And The Workplace Leadership Conference 2026 was the perfect room for the conversations leaders need to be having right now.

Big ups to Dr. Jamie Pajoel and his team at Workplace Leadership Institute for putting on such a great event.

I was especially happy to hear AI being addressed head on.

Because AI is no longer just a tech conversation.

It’s a leadership conversation.
A workplace culture conversation.
A business decision conversation.

As someone who helps business owners make sense of AI in practical ways, it was encouraging to hear these challenges being discussed openly and honestly.

That conversation matters. 💯

Grateful for the new connections, the insights, the energy, and the reminder that strong leadership means being willing to learn, adapt, and step forward.

That’s how we grow.

👉 What’s one AI-related conversation you think more leaders need to be having right now?

PS. It was lovely to reconnect with good friends and make some new ones too. 🤗

Yes… I took a lot of selfies today.
No… I am not sorry. 😄📸

When you’re surrounded by beautiful people celebrating their mothers, grandmothers, aunties, sisters, friends, and the women who mean the world to them… you take the picture.

Holly and Nicola's Mother’s Day Brunch Experience was such a beautiful afternoon filled with music, laughter, love, fashion, food, hugs, and those “wait, let’s take one more” moments. You know the kind. The phone storage starts crying but the memories are worth it. 😂

I have to big them up for having me as the emcee and for creating such a warm, joyful, and meaningful experience for everyone in the room. They both hosted with so much heart, and it showed.

Big ups as well goes out to:

🎧 DJ Peter C for keeping the vibes right

🎷 Joshua Williams for bringing that smooth saxophone magic

🎤 Tony Anthony for blessing the room with his voice

💐 And every person who helped, supported, served, organized, decorated, welcomed guests, and stood behind Holly and Nikki to help bring this event together.

To everyone who attended...your style, energy and good vibes made today a success.

And to all the mothers and mother figures being celebrated this weekend… we honour you, we appreciate you, and we love you. 💖

Happy Mother’s Day!
May you be celebrated, poured into, loved on, and reminded just how much you mean to the people around you.

📷 Selfie check! Did I get a pic with you at the brunch? Comment below if I did. If not… leave a 👑 for all the amazing moms and women you celebrated with today!”

AI is powerful... I love helping people use it to create faster and grow smarter.

But moments like this?
This is where the real magic happens. ✨

Being in the room.
Meeting new people.
Having real conversations that can actually move your business forward.

That’s what New Network is all about.

We put a lot of intention into creating spaces like this at the Welcome Centre, so seeing the energy, the connections, and the conversations come together the way they did… it just feels good.

A big thank you to Brent, Rina and Natasha for sharing so openly and pouring into the room. You made a real impact.

And to everyone who came out from across the GTA, I see you 👏🏽

Showing up, stepping outside your comfort zone, and even jumping into the pitch competition… that’s how you grow.

If you’re a newcomer or just starting your business journey, don’t underestimate this.

Get in the room. Build your network. Keep showing up.

💬 What’s one connection that’s made a difference for you?
