It's a beautiful conversation we have for you today.

In about a week, I'm going to celebrate my 55th birthday. I remember when I once thought that was old. Hahaha!!!In honour of my 55th birthday, I want to share some thoughts on aging, specifically aging as a woman:what it means to get old and look old (smashing the beauty myth!) the very real possibility of losing mental agility research that suggests age is a mindset, not a number I believe to my core that getting older is not something we should take for granted: it’s a privilege and should be

It was -16 degrees Celsius yesterday, but the sun was shining. It's on days like these when it's easy to stay inside, under a blanket, sipping cups and cups of hot tea or hot chocolate.It's for this very reason that I not only asked Joanna Radomska of Walking Languages to join me in conversation, but I also joined her 3-week Doable Walks course to get me outside, walking each day, AND practicing my target languages---French and Italian---no matter the weather. We know that moving our bodies is

Sleep. It seems so simple, and yet it's something many of us are struggling to get, or to get enough of. In today’s episode of Hear You Go, we’re going to dig deeper into sleep and why so many of us seem to suffer from a lack of it. The topic is vast, so we won’t address everything.

Then we’ll look at common sleep problems and the dangers of not getting enough sleep, and finally,

Are you a perfectionist? In my experience with the English language teachers and learners I know, perfectionism is something a lot of us suffer from. Is it always a bad thing? Are there benefits?

In Episode 34 of Hear You Go, my guest, Michelle Daniel of the Heart of English, helps us understand what perfectionism is and how to make sure it doesn't get in the way of learning.

I've been mulling over, pondering over, thinking about three different topics and how I could possibly bring them together in one podcast episode. Episode 33 is my attempt to do so.

Jackie Chan once said that "coffee is a language in itself". Hmm... Well, if it is, what words would you use to describe coffee? For me, it's easy: hot, black and strong. No milk. No sugar. Unless it's a cappuccino, and then I want whole milk frothed to perfection, with a dash of cinnamon. Ah coffee, I DO love you. Every October 1st is International Coffee Day, and so in homage to this little bean that makes so many of us happy, let me offer this episode to you. You'll hear about the benefits

Hello lovely listeners! In a world where everything seems to happen quickly, we often measure our progress by how many "things" we do. We're busy, busy, busy.

"It's all fun and games until someone loses an eye" is something adults often say to children as a warning to be careful, but in my family, we prefer to say: "It's just all fun and games... but I want to win!" Do you play games? Do you enjoy playing games? Human beings have been playing games for thousands of years.
