Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast is a proud member of the The Saskatchewan Podcast Network which is supported by the MINISTRY OF HIGHWAYS. You know me and Winter is not my favorite season, but I’m so grateful for our highway workers who operate our snow plows to keep our highways as safe as they can be, despite our awful winter weather. Did you know that Snow Plows pull over every 10-15 kms for you to pass safely. This means, that even if you are as impatient as I can, you know that you giving the snow plow some space in order to pass safely, can keep everyone safe on the roads. When passing, treat snow plows the same way you would an emergency vehicle. If a plow is pulled over and has lights flashing, slow to 60 and pass with caution. Always check the Saskatchewan Highway Hotline before travelling.

Episode 072 - Finding Your Sparkle with Disney Fine Art Artist, Denyse Klette

Today on Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast, I’m chatting with Artist, Denyse Klette. Denyse’s earliest memory of creating was when she was four and she spent hours copying the drawings out of her sister's 'How To Draw' book, which serendipitously was written by a Disney artist. By the age of 8 she informed her parents that she wanted to quit school to become a full time artist. When that was discouraged, by Grade 5 she was selling her line drawings to buy treats and by the age of 16 she had her first cartoon strip published in two local newspapers. 45 years later she has still never wavered in this career choice. With a background in murals, children’s portraits and eventually co-creating the Belly Button Buddies series, she very quickly became known as the artist who could capture joy in children. Through the diagnosis of her mom’s cancer and an unfortunate thumb accident, Denyse was reminded of the fragility of life and took a break from painting during this time. On her return, with a fresh perspective she created two heartfelt collections to capture life’s simple and beautiful moments. Continuing to work hard, putting herself out there and showing up even when it was hard, in 2019 her magical dream came true, when she was signed as the very first Canadian to be a Disney Fine Art artist with Collectors Edition. Tune in to hear her inspiring story of perseverance, finding your sparkle and what creating as a Disney Fine Art Artist looks like.

Episode 071 - Recovering Your Identity with Jennifer McCowan of Hope Hair Recovery

Today on Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast, I’m chatting with Jennifer McCowan WTS Certified Trichologist and Owner of Hope Hair Recovery. Jennifer has been helping people feel good about themselves as a hair stylist for the past 23 years. After experiencing tragic loss in 2010, shortly after giving birth to her second child, she experienced first hand how stress manifests itself in the body. She found suspicious lumps in each of her breasts along with 2 heart issues which then led to a significant amount of hair loss. After being told by her Dermatologist to "brace for impact, you're going to be bald by the time you're 60, she couldn't believe what was happening to her. After shopping for wigs, taking down mirrors in her house and beginning to avoid making any eye contact with anyone, she knew she had to find another way. She was driven by the simple fact that for a woman, losing her hair is like losing her identity, and she was determined to never let another woman feel like she did at that time. And so, her hair loss journey began. Tune in as we chat all about the Art of Trichology, how she connects with every client she’s has from as young as age 6 to everyone in between and how each of their life stories inspires her to continue on educating and inspiring everyone around them to never take no for answer and to never give up.

Today on Celebrating Simple Life the Podcast I’m chatting with Catherine Monahan, CEO and Founder of Gigglewater Productions. Gigglewater was founded on the idea of living a life of balance and having fun - happiness & health are core to life. Giggle Water is the new alcoholic beverage and lifestyle brand on the scene, taking Ibiza, Spain and now the world by storm, one bubble at a time. From the wines, to the bubblies, events and retreats, Catherine promises quality-driven, interesting, useful, upbeat products that reflects Gigglewater’s mission of making healthy living a little bit easier and a load more fun. I came across Gigglewater when looking for a pretty bottle of prosecco to use in some branding photos and when I saw the word Gigglewater on the bottle, I was intrigued! I decided to reach out to Catherine and hear more about this delightful brand and her story straight from the source. At the end of the day, wine in all its forms is just a beverage. It's part of life, It brings people together to chat, to have dinner with and for all types of celebrations.
