Meg Heppner is going to educate me on her mennonite people! We talk about how humans bastardize religion and when you start raising kids you have to figure out how to live! Today she’s facing her God complex! Better Call Daddy:The Safe Space For Controversy. Celia, my daughter, sneaks in at the end of the episode with tacos and connects to Meg about having three brothers! Meg is a life coach, blogger and event host that is passionate about walking with people who want more out of life than just the status quo! She believes that life doesn’t have to work out exactly the way we think it “should” in order to be enjoyed and that people don’t have to be perfect in order to be loved. She believes that we all have the voice of truth inside of us but sometimes it can be hard to hear. And most importantly that we must live between the tension of accepting the things we cannot change and taking massive action on the things we can! Meg creates spaces where women can slow down and process all the things that are influencing and controlling their lives - their everyday thoughts, emotions, and the stories they have been telling themselves. Spaces where they can look at their inner world, gain valuable insight and then reclaim their personal authority, and make conscious decisions that transform the way they experience their lives! Through one on one coaching, group coaching and workshops Meg helps women show up in the world with more love, and less ego, more compassion, and less judgment, more vulnerability, and less shame, more emotional agility and less fear! Meg is also the current Branch Director of South Surrey/White Rock for Happy Healthy women. Meg’s currently running events are: The Self Love Series (March 2021 to June 2021) The Art Of Being H(You)man Series (January 2021 to April 2021) The Goddess Talks (All of 2021) Meg lives in British Columbia with her husband of 20 years, two teenage boys and their little dog Charlie.

Geoffrey’s dad was born in 1906, a larger than life hero, he was an engineer on a mining expedition in the subarctic, people thought his dad was his grandfather! What’s it like growing up with a father who’s a retiree? Today we talk about needing a hand up, mental health challenges, and what can happen when you get pinned in life! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space For Controversy. Geoff Moore is a proud husband and father of four children. He is an active volunteer and second time entrepreneur with a passion for sustainable finance. His greatest hero is his dad, who was a World War II veteran! Almost ten years ago, his first entrepreneurial venture did not succeed and a whole host of issues drove him into the hospital for 5 weeks with a mental breakdown. Based on this and other life experiences, he has decided to launch The Pinned Podcast in order to make a contribution to ending mental health stigma by engaging in authentic conversations with people who have battled through lived experiences of mental health challenges or who have provided care to those who do. Each conversation will be an opportunity for a candid sharing of the invitee's story and their messages of hope for those who are "pinned" today. The goal is to provide a "hand-up" to help people realize that all humans can get "pinned" and they are no ..."pinned" and they are not alone. There is never any shame in seeking a hand-up and the best time to seek it is always today. Physical and mental health are of course intrinsic, central aspects of being alive... Why then should they be viewed any differently when people are in need of care?

Robert Miller's parents told him from a young age he was going to be a musician whether he liked it or not? Did your parents sign you up for piano lessons? Robert picked up the trumpet because of his daddy! His father wasn't into rock and roll but they did play duets together for Robert's mother! His daddy played private events and Robert tagged along and was put into the band for club dates. Sixty is the new forty! Robert is following through on his dream now! Never stop dreaming! Better Call Daddy: The Safe Space for Controversy. Robert Miller is a musician who had a youthful dream to become a Rock Star. He came from a musical family and came of age during the British Invasion era of the 1960s. He played in rock bands through high school, studied bass with John Coltrane’s bassist, and became a mainstay of the Boston music scene in the 1970s. He was sure that he was on track for stardom in music. But like for many people, life then got in the way of his dream. Marriage, kids, job, obligations. He thought he could work a day job and play music at night, but that became impossible. He actually stopped playing music altogether for 15 years. One day he woke up and realized that his dream had slipped away. But the dream continued to burn inside him. Still, it was only when he turned 60 years old that he realized it was now or never to go after his dream. How many more chances would he have? So he made a decision. He gave up everything else and figuratively jumped into the deep end of the pool. First thing, he reorganized his band, Project Grand Slam. He surrounded himself with a group of young, extremely talented musicians - mainly from foreign countries - who had come to NYC to make their mark. He began writing music again and rehearsing with the band. Slowly but surely the band began to make progress - bigger and better gigs, openers for several major stars, festivals and concerts. In just over five years Robert and PGS have released 10 albums including a Billboard #1, have had over 4 million video views, over 1 million Spotify streams, over 50,000 Facebook fans, played festivals and concerts around the world, and opened for Edgar Winter, Blues Traveler, Boney James and Mindi Abair, and an after-show for YES. Robert realized that he had accomplished something that was unique and inspiring - becoming a Rock Star in his 60s, an age when most Baby Boomers were planning their retirement. Along the way he had developed a path into pursuing and succeeding at one’s dream, and felt that he could inspire others to follow and succeed at their dream. So he started this podcast. The Follow Your Dream Podcast features a variety of guests from different walks of life who have in common that they followed their dream to success. Robert will also introduce his music and his band, Project Grand Slam. Each episode will feature a different one of Robert’s songs which fits with the guest or theme of that episode. Robert has now written The Follow Your Dream Handbook to accompany the podcast. The Handbook is a combination memoir of Robert’s personal story plus a how-to achieve success with one’s dream. The Handbook was released in August and immediately became an Amazon #1 Bestseller!
