S&J are back on the mic for an honest catch up to kick off the New Year! We are discussing how August turned to December in the blink of an eye, the chaos of life and how we've been doing with various transitions, our take on new year's resolutions and much more! Keep your heads up - we never know when that pendulum is swinging back around! PLUS we share some first deets on upcoming dates we think you'll want to mark on your calendars ;)

S & J SESSIONS.Isn't Summer just starting?! Where.does.the.time.go?! We are back behind the mics for a quick catch up now that September is over and we can breath again (sorta). We chat about the start of the 'new year', changes and transitions and how life feels lately with a new level of busy. But, 'put the kettle on' because what we couldn't wait to share with you is how frickin' great of a show 'Maggie the Musical' is, now playing at the Savoy Theatre. Like a warm cup of tea & a granny's hug. Maggie will make you laugh & cry and remind you of someone you love. Co-created by award-winning artist, Johnny Reid, 'Maggie' celebrates the life of Johnny's own 'gran'. Matt Murray, Bob Foster, Mary Francis Moore, and Michael Rubinoff are just a few of the other names that round out 'Maggie's creative team. We think it's bound for Broadway - but there is something so special about seeing this one at the iconic Savoy Theatre. Take your own granny on a date, bring a pal, go alone - whatever you have to do - just get a ticket and don't miss out on this beautiful show. We laughed, we cried, we missed our own grandmothers & we went home and hugged our sons. Maggie is playing here in Cape Breton until Sunday October 8th, 2023. We are incredibly lucky to have this show playing in our own backyard - the talent, the story, the music; it's a beautiful show from start to finish.

Sarah is a planner - but this is one plan she hasn't yet made.. until now.Sarah & Jess are joined around the table by Kelly O'Brien, Associate Lawyer at Sampson McPhee Lawyers. Kelly talks about the importance of estate planning; who it's for, where to start, what to include, and why it's important to think about it now! If you have kids, if you're currently in a common-law partnership, if you own a home, if you've started a business - you need to tune in and learn why having a will is an act of service for those you care about.Kelly breaks down the barriers, busts some myths, and clarifies some misconceptions around who has power, access, and control of your estate after you're gone. We learn the difference between executor of estate and power of attorney, what 'estate' actually means and includes, and about some outdated laws in Nova Scotia that may not grant your partner the privileges you imagine.Having a plan is an act of love. It doesn't have to be scary or overwhelming - Kelly can help make it easy and accessible. She is also offering our TMM listeners looking to start their planning a $100.00 off.

Who is pelvic floor physio for? What are some signs and symptoms of a weakened pelvic floor? What issues can be related back to the pelvic floor? Is pain after pregnancy just part of the deal?

Good food is a good mood!In this special bonus episode, Sarah, sits down with Emma Jerrott, Program Coordinator of The Good Food Bus (@goodfoodbuscb). Emma chats all about The Good Food Bus programming, their work in food security and their goals of making nutritious food more accessible and affordable to our Cape Breton communities. In simple terms, Emma tells us to think of the Bus as the "produce aisle you would find in your grocery store, but on wheels."We learn about the origin of the Good Food Bus, how the programming has evolved, the needs and issues being addressed in our communities, who can access this service, the innovation and creativity needed to adapt to challenges faced by our communities in recent times, the power of connection and community, and so much more! Currently completing a 'Fundamentals of Sustainability' course for her MEd program, Sarah was able to submit a podcast recording as her final assignment. For this project, she had to identify a 'Source of Vigour' in her local community and learn more about it. A source of vigour is defined by Niko Roorda as “opportunities that tackle complex sustainability issues”. It was an absolute pleasure to learn more about the Good Food Bus in this way and highlight their work for this final assignment. We hope you enjoy this chat!

We let the Husbands back!! Patrick and Daniel join Sarah and Jessica around the table for a long overdue double date. We chat about yesteryear - learning a thing or two about one another we didn't know before and we answer some questions from some Morning Meeting Members. Who was the bigger teenage delinquent? Has Jessica been backing the vehicle in? Has marriage changed our relationships? Are we scheduling sex? What are some of our favourite memories together? And then - we dive into our Love Languages.We each took a quiz and meet to discuss our results and what the 5 Love Languages are all about: 'acts of service', 'words of affirmation', 'receiving gifts', 'quality time' and 'physical touch'. Find out who's top language is what, who was surprised at their results and who wasn't, how these impact our communication styles as a couple and in our friendships, and who broke the rules and discussed their results early. As per usual with the four of us; there are no shortage of laughs, not many topics off the table, we chatted for far too long and got carried away enjoying each other's company. What's your Love Language? Take the quiz: https://www.5lovelanguages.com/quizzes/love-language

Well, we still aren't sure if it was a good idea to give these two the mics, but in the spirit of Mother's Day - HERE WE ARE! We sat down with our Moms, Margaret (Jessica) and Cathy (Sarah), for a fun light-hearted chat about motherhood, raising us (and our siblings), the challenges, the proud moments, the differences and similarities in our parenting styles, and the things they still don't know about us. We took questions from our meeting members and asked our Mom's what you wanted to know - we'd be lying if we said it was easy to sit through some of them, but we took one for the team. We laughed until we cried during this one. We hope you enjoy it as much as we did. We celebrated being Moms with the Moms who made us and in honour of the Moms who made them. One thing is for sure, the roots are planted deep on these family trees. We got it from our Mamas!! Happy Mother's Day! Our hearts are with you if this is a day of joy, grief, pain, sadness, hope, love, gratitude, or all of it intertwined. We see you. We love you. Skip this one if you must. We understand. <3 This episode of The Morning Meeting with Sarah and Jess is brought to you by Lost Bell by Sainte-Famille Wines.

Dr. Anna D’Intino educated us, made us laugh, and quickly became our new bestie. Her down to earth demeanor and wealth of knowledge about how to treat our bodies right so they can work with us not against us had us saying “WHAAAAT?” “Wowwww” over and over again. We know we alllll heard, made, or even laughed at those pesky little jokes about PMS; but what is it? How do we help it? & what should we be doing while experiencing it?! We can’t be the only ones who didn’t know about all the things…….

There are no shortage of laughs around the table as Sarah & Jess sit down with Erin Romyn, the Homebody Hustler, for a real life honest chat on this episode of The Morning Meeting. We knew it was love at first sight...of the blog cover photo. #relatable. Erin is a blogger, stay at home Mom, Instagrammer, writer, introverted comedian who makes mundane life funny online. She has been openly sharing her life through Instagram (@thehomebodyhustler) and her blog (www.homebodyhustler.com/) in the pursuit of being vulnerable (and hilarious) online and normalizing it all, and is building connection and community through her real, honest, entertaining words. Erin has recently started to examine her relationship with money and, lucky for us, has decided to take us all along for the ride. In this chat we discuss money & relationships - the good, the bad and the ugly - or the shame, guilt and scarcity of it all. The challenges of budgeting and why it doesn't feel natural. How to pay attention and respond to the creative 'nudges' from beyond. Journal writing and worrying who may read it in the future. Raising small humans and their influence on shifting mind-sets. Why thinking about the future is hard, anxiety and the trauma (trinkets) of a generation. How getting reflective about your buying wants/needs and figuring out your sh*t mentally will ultimately help your bank account. Embracing the messy, the real, the creative and the vulnerability to show the pieces people don't typically see. PS. Please don't watch shows without us.
