If you were to meet me today, the first thing I would tell you about myself is that I am a proud wife, mom, and stepmom to five wonderful children. While family consumes most of my life and heart these days, I also thrive off of my entrepreneurial goals. Before becoming a wife and mother, I feel as if I lived many lives. 

I lived around the world as an international model for over ten years. Eventually, I moved away from modelling to try my hand at Fashion Styling and Creative Directing for major fashion publications. I worked my way up to become the head of the personal styling program for one of Canada’s biggest department stores, and would also make appearances on TV shows to do current trend talks. 

This led me to start my own personal branding and styling company. Through this endeavour, I was able to teach people about style and help them feel confident in who they were, no matter what clothes they were wearing. Working with individuals, talking about current fashion trends, and helping people feel good about themselves will always be a huge part of who I am. 

After some time, I started my own modelling agency, The People Mgmt. My number one goal in opening my own agency was to help empower young women in the industry. I spent years seeing how young women were managed by large companies and often disregarded based on their body type or overall look. I work hard every day to ensure that my models feel strong, that they have a voice, and that they will be represented for who they truly are. I am so proud to say that now we have models that have worked all around the world and continue to do the work to change the industry standards. 

Recently, I have found myself at home more and more due to some health issues. Through this experience, I realize I can’t do it all, at least not on my own. I still want to help make an impact on the world and help others - moms, models, women, anyone! - as much as I can, so the idea of starting a blog just seemed natural. 

While there is never a dull moment, in motherhood and entrepreneurship, I started to realize that I wasn’t taking care of myself. Moms are often told 'YOU can't pour from an empty cup', And I knew that I needed to make some positive changes for my health and wellness in order to be the best mother I can be. 

which brings us to today... I currently find myself deep in this new journey if health and wellness and I am never looking back! 

Just like anyone, I find myself continually growing and learning, and I want this to be a space where I can share that with others. I created the insider to inspire others while making a positive impact on fellow moms. I am so proud of the beautiful chaos I find myself surrounded by daily while being a mom and woman.
