This week's episode is an interview with interior designer, Jessica Velazquez.
Jessica Velazquez studied Interior Design in Toronto, a field she combined with real estate when she returned to her native country of Panama. For years, Jessica was known as the realtor-designer by the many expats retiring there. Her background helped them envision the potential of properties and turn their investment into places they could call home. After relocating with her family to Calgary in 2011, she opened Interiors by Jessica, but it wasn´t until 2018 when her niche was born.
Yes, she is an Interior Designer with real estate background, but she prefers the title of First-home Design Specialist because more than design and decorate, she coaches first-time homeowners to get rid of the limiting beliefs killing their home dreams. Jessica is all about empowering her first-time homeowners to take control of their environment with intention, to turn their Pinterest boards into reality based on their budget and timeline and regain the Design Confidence that so many lose on the way.
In this episode we discuss:
- where Jessica's passion for design comes from
- how to find your interior design "style"
- how to turn your Pinterest boards into reality
- easy tips to make your space instantly better
- do TVs belong in the bedroom?
- her thoughts on the future of design post-COVID

She also has a free guide & resources above for first-time homeowners! ^

In this episode, Kayley answers 10 questions about her job, submitted by a university student at Mount St Vincent.
"You realize that no one really cares other than you. Everybody else is caught up in their own things, so even if your business were to flop or fail, it feels all-consuming in the moment… But as you get older you realize that what's all-consuming to you, is a blip to someone else."

In this episode, I'm taking you way back to when I was 18 on tumblr. I started a One Direction ship account that grew by 10,000 followers over the summer and led me to writing fanfiction for hundreds of submissions. Somehow, that anonymous blog years ago led me to revisiting fanfic as self-care during quarantine in 2020...

Freelancers, influencers, and others in creative industries are often underpaid - or not paid at all - in exchange for "experience" and "exposure." As these industries grow, it's so important to learn our own value, and start saying "no" to projects and collaborations that don't match the time we're putting in, let alone the value of our audience and work.
Financial wellbeing is a key pillar in self-care. In today's episode we discuss:
- why brands get away with not paying content creators
- when it's okay to say yes to unpaid work
- storytime: exposing Revolve
- the importance of rate transparency in creative industries
- addressing the wage gap, and why women need to be comfortable stating and negotiating our own worth - Montre plus
