Who are you?
Read more →Who are you? Now, I’m not asking about your roles: mother, wife, employee, boss, daughter, cat lover/hater. I’m asking who you really are, underneath all of the roles and masks. If you had to describe yourself in 3 words, what words would you use? Yes, I know that you - you brilliant being - cannot be captured in 3 words. Forgive me for implying this. But for simplicity’s sake, what if we could choose our 3 words...and simply live by them? I’ll give you an example. My three words, that I know I embody, are these: Kind Fun No bullshit...

Keep Going
Read more → How are you doing? Like, how are you really doing? Are you feeling a bit overwhelmed with the never-ending lists? Do you feel like you’re doing so many things at once that you’re not really doing anything well at all? And underneath it all, are you also kind of an asshole to yourself, in your head? I hear you sister. I too, am experiencing those things. This past month has been a doozy. Hell, this past week has been well, hell. From my physical health to trying to figure out staffing to my slow-down in book writing...it’s been one...

Are you censoring yourself?
Read more →Here I am, sitting in my office in St. Brieux. I’m rocking out to ‘Dirrty’ by Christina Aguilera, circa 2002. Yes. ‘Dirrty.’ The same song that I shook my ass to at the bars I frequented while in university. This is mortifying to admit. Even more embarrassing? I’ve had it on repeat all week. “Why the hell am I so drawn to this song right now?” I ask myself. When I remove my judgment of myself for being a dork, I realize I’m loving ‘Dirrty’ for two main reasons: This song caused such a stir back then because of its...

I've been transformed.
Read more →I have been transformed. Yep. That sounds very dramatic, doesn’t it? But it’s kinda true. Okay, it’s totally true. Why? This summer’s road trip has 1) cracked me open, 2) made me dig deep, and 3) truly left me with a new perspective on humanity. While the road trip was all about connection between people, it was also a very personal experience for me. The crappy thing? I don’t know exactly know how to put it all into words. But I'm going to try, so I can share with you. (The other alternative is your simply reading my mind and...

You asked, I answered.
Read more →While I clearly don’t have the answer to all of life’s questions, I do have the answer to a few. Yay! (#winning) More specifically, I have answers to questions that our community members asked about Saskatchewan, before I left on my road trip this summer. Now that I’m back, here is my attempt to answer these questions! Curious? Check out the questions and answers below: What are Saskatchewan women most proud of? - Adrienne (@adrienneperrot) I’ve found that Saskatchewan women are most proud of 1) their families, 2) their careers, or what they’re creating, and 3) themselves. These women are...

Let go.
Read more →'Let go.' 'Let go of the need to control.' 'Let go. Go with the flow.' 'Trust.' These messages have come to me over the last couple of weeks. While they’re a bit disconcerting, they come in various forms: from my go-to healers, from good conversations with my sisters, from a random poster in a store. It's kinda creepy. But the message is getting through. I'm learning to let go. What does that look like for me? Trying to live in the moment. Not getting caught up in the future. While I like to plan, and know what's coming (don't we...
