Kelly and Shannon are back with a quick update on the dumpster fire that is Ontario. Updates all around including virtual learning, work, and Kelly's mom. Hard to believe that in our third calendar year of this pandemic we are still confused and plagued by impossible decisions. But little things like recycling and Christmas trees are still top of mind.
So much gratitude to those who have continued to ask us about where we are.

Manglende episoder?

Huge gratitude to the Season One listeners, thank you for joining us on this ride. Kelly and Shannon are going to spend the rest of summer 2021 reflecting and planning for Season Two! In this episode our hosts have two very different experiences driving the wild streets of Toronto.
There are some quick sweets and sours (of course!) and a small (large) reminder of our thoughts on vaccination #getit
We love you, we thank you. Stay safe!
-
A rousing morning discussion on collagen, nails and gut health from two non-experts. Always so much to learn!
Shannonâs family takes a trip to Niagara Falls where they all learn they do NOT like haunted houses. We (like you) have a good laugh at the expense of good ole Mr. Amazon.
Kelly did a camp drop off complete with a friendly Covid âSWATâ team. Life is slowly returning to normal. A poem from Pablo Neruda to round out the feelings of re-entry to society. Itâs normal to bounce between the highs and lows.
-
Exciting things are happening: the kids are at camp and Kelly went to a play! #happyplace
Shannonâs sour involves money - surprise !!
Moral of the story, check your bank accounts once in awhile *eyeroll*.
Why do we want to cancel our therapy and self care when we are already at our lowest point?? And, a listener shares a sweet!! Hooray
-
Kelly is struggling with her mom's health. She shares how she is navigating the rocky road of health care for our aging parents. Just remember you are never alone people, you do not have to do anything alone that you do not need to when you have friends.
-
Shannon has a new microphone, letâs call it new mic #1! Kelly and Shannon revisit how they met. There was even a blog involved, everyone remembers reading âSecret Motherâ, right?
Have you ever wondered about our theme song? Wonder no more - all is revealed.
There is a discussion about the powers of social media and when to unfollow.
-
NOTE: we discuss the existence of Santa/ Easter Bunny and Tooth Fairy in this episode #earmuffs.
NOTE TWO: the audio quality is not the same as current episodes but itâs also not unbearable đ
Kelly & Shannon discuss feeling safe vs feeling trapped. But at least itâs Monpoly time at McDonaldâs! We are not ready for Halloween mentally or financially, are you? LOTS of Halloween talk! The guilt is killing us. Spoiler alert: Kelly does not like Pinterest. Ambition is nowhere to be found. -
We are still in recovery from last weekâs episode, but things are looking up! Endorphins and dopamine are on the rise via both sport and theatre. Kelly and Shannon discuss the status of their respective second doses - always lots to think (and worry) about! Shannon recruits Kelly to help make a call on a âbigâ family outing. And, Kelly is shockingly positive about going back out in the big, crowded world. Universal income rears its liberal head again and it reminds Shannon of a time in the nail salon. We chat about Kellyâs bday gift to herself! Woot!
-
Kelly enjoyed the Provinceâs reopening, Shannon not so much. Emotions are running high, which as usual, are not being eased by the big C-19. Or the government. Spoiler alert: Kellyâs sweet is a purple skidoo suit #truestory.
-
And we are BACK! Kelly and Shannon are so thrilled to be sharing with you after a few weeks sabbatical from current episodes! We are feeling the light at the end of the C-word tunnel, are you? Kelly shares about the play she canât wait to share and Shannon isnât sure that ballet was a great call for her daughter. We are all mourning the loss of 215 Indigenous lives and encourage you all to dig into Canadaâs past and support a better future.

Another âBackflashâ episode recorded in the fall of 2020! Kelly and Shannon discuss the european Le creche The French Way
Why has the tone changed at the CRA? They made Kelly cryâŠ. In a nice way? Sure sign of the apocalypse.
Can the Handmaid's Tale cheer a person up? Shannon thinks not. However, forcing yourself to be horizontal does have its benefits. The finance course Shannon is talking about is with past guest, Heidi Rumohr - Fun! Kelly educates us on the âwindow taxâ and why Shannonâs house is so small. Kelly shares some struggles from the learning pod as the kids are a wee bit bored. We discuss the importance of having authentic voices in the classroom. Especially pertaining to Canadaâs Indigenous voices.
-
Recorded in the fall of 2020! Kelly has back pain, and we really wonder why? And how she can heal. Would micro self care do the trick? Bottom line, we all need therapy - and Shannon does not want to provide it to the masses. Kellyâs pod-schoolers are starting to need help, navigating these waters is tough with a capital âTâ. Kellyâs daughter writes an emotional journal.
Setting expectations with pod parents and kids alike, âHas anyone ever lived in a commune?â
We have a discussion about will it (the big C, Covid) go on forever?
Is school changed forever? Is this a good thing? And, privilege rears its ugly head again.
-
We are about to take a little hiatus, so enjoy the fresh updates!!! Donât worry, backflashes are on deck. Kelly has a play about to be birthed and so she has to change gears for a hot second!! Go Kelly, Go!
Shannon recounts an awesome health and wellness treatment courtesy of her doula, Kelly Maslen. We urge you to fight against virtual learning as a permanent fixture in Ontario. An upcoming guest is announced as well!
PS. If you want to know more about coaching from Shannon you can find her on instagram at @ShannonKohlmeier

Kelly and Shannon are so thrilled to be interviewing Heidi Rumohr this week! Heidi is a licensed financial advisor and coach whose tagline is âthere is more to life than counting calories and paying bills!â Hello, we are in love.
We recount the moments in life when our money woes caused us to do some major gut checks.
-
Recounting the generosity of the community when Kelly canât find a birthday card in her small town. We share a thorough rundown of what we are watching to keep our collective minds off the plague. Recommendations come from ALL the decades - now available on NETFLIX (with an X). Kelly accidentally attended the fringe of an anti-mask rally, not fun. A viewer wrote in - stop the press.
-
The theme of the week is vaccination!!! Lots of stress, swings and misses, but also lots of needles in the arms! Feels like a slight win buried amidst the difficulties of being back in North Americaâs longest lockdown. Virtual school is NOT working, and we have some thoughts on that. Robux is our currency now. We are still watching Netflix.
P.s. Shannonâs Birthday is coming up and she is a Taurus. Kelly is a Gemini #themoreyouknow
-
Shannon talks about being a health coach and Kelly is not a fan of militant exercise. So there, CBC! Our sweets involve kids and sunshine. A letter for Amelia and update for Grey Bruce.
-
Kelly and Shannon try to start the episode on a happy note before the âreal worldâ sets inâŠ. Some podcast, TV, instagram account recommendations. Shannon has lost her Airpods, again! What a cliffhanger! A short update for Amelia, our grad student of the future. Spoiler alert: School is virtual again - Welcome to Ontario. Stay safe, yâall!
-
Kelly and Shannon chat to comedian and radio personality, Ian Lynch! The conversation truly reinforces the importance of friendship and the value of keeping kindred spirits in your life. We talk about the impossibility of surviving as a Canadian in show business and also how much we all appreciate good dental care and massages. Ian shares where he was when Covid hit and how it has impacted his career and his extended family.
