Wow! I am super proud stoked to see our little projects nominated for 9 awards!!! My bestie .nagazina and I had a blast over the last 2 years making 6 short films, 3 of which received nominations.
We love this province and the talented cast and crews that live here. We are committed to bringing MORE work to Alberta and we are only getting started. And yes we will eventually get an Azzume Productions webpage hahaha!
We have so many people to thank and IG only lets us tag 20 people total so to all of the cast and crew that joined us to create these films, THANK YOU 💙💚💛🧡❤️💜🖤🤍

Have you always wanted to learn how to punch and kick and feel a little more badass BUT you feel scared, intimidated and unsure about joining a kickboxing gym?

I am looking to interview women and femme folks who want to build their confidence and stay fit, but are not interested in joining a traditional gym!

These folks are ready to connect to their inner warrior and step into a safe, inclusive, empowering and fun environment.

It would mean the world to me if we could hop on a quick call and I could ask you a few questions. This is purely for my own research and is not a sales call in any means. You can book directly into my schedule through the link below!

ASKING FOR HELP! Feel like you have lost touch with your inner badass...or never even met her?

I’m looking to interview women who have moved through a big transition such as having children, a relationship ending or becoming an empty nester, to help me build a new offering I’m working on that will be available in 2022!

6 years ago I met my person. On my favourite day of the year. This picture is the only evidence and very terrible. He was dressed like a very sad clown. I was painted like a skeleton (swipe ➡️for pic).

My super pals and had encouraged me to get on tinder and put myself out there and boom 💥 I meet . Thank you hunks for pushing me!!

We met for a drink and the rest is history. It’s been an amazing, challenging, fulfilling and wonderful 6 years. We push each other to be better. We are each other’s biggest cheerleaders. We drive each other crazy. We have fun. We deal with the big s**t. And we enjoy the small stuff.

Here’s to the last Halloween being apart (aside from that fateful one 6 years ago) and I can’t wait to see what the next year holds for us. I love you Heath ❤️

Are you constantly trying to fit in time to exercise between work, picking up the kids (or grandkids) and keeping on top of your to do list?

Are you struggling to find that burst of energy to start the exercise program you bought 6 months ago?

Are you sick of Zoom meetings, working remotely and feeling like you never leave your house?

STOP

Exercise doesn't need to look a certain way. You don’t have to do it. That’s why I built the 10x10x10 Challenge to help folks like you (and me) to get back on the wellness wagon.

10 min of meditation
10 min of screen free time
For 10 days

By starting small and simple, taking care of your mind AND your bodies and working together (yup that means me too) we can get out of this funk together!!

All you have to do is click the link in my bio ⬆️ and you are in. Tag a friend that you want to join too!! Share this post with your parents!! The challenge starts on Tuesday October 26th. Sign up now to get your spot!!

MY FIRST DOCUMENTARY FILM EVER IS DONE!

Now what the heck is it about?!?

“New Horizons is candid look the life of Olympian turned bobsled coach Heath Spence, as he lives in PyeongChang, Korea, amidst a global pandemic. Leaving his Calgary home behind, Heath joins the New Horizons program and leads a new generation of bobsled athletes from Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia and Vietnam towards their Olympic dreams at the 2022 Beijing Olympic Games.”

My partner Heath (yes the Heath in the doc!) and I made this film together using our phones and GoPro Hero 8, completely remotely (I was in Canada and he was in Korea) in 2 months! Oh and did I mention Heath is a totally newbie when it comes to filming?

Thanks to the support of Telus Story Hive’s Community Stories Program, the Calgary Society for Independent Filmmakers and our fearless program leaders Corey Lee and Sandi Somers!

If you want to see all the films for the 2021 Community Stories program go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/community-stories-screening-tickets-162097075717 to get your free ticket! All films are screening on July 17th from 3-8pm MST.

SWIPE RIGHT FOR MY HONEST ADVICE ➡️

With the wave of closures over the last 15 months, maintaining a fitness routine has been very challenging for a lot of folks (me included). I know that some of you are feeling really frustrated and behind schedule. You had fitness some big fitness goals for 2020/21 and the pandemic was a major set-back.

👉 You are discouraged with the start-again-stop-again routine, and having a hard time starting up...again.
👉 Some of you may have stepped away from fitness all together.
👉 You may feel like you are standing at the base of a very large mountain...looking waaaaay up...not quite sure how to start climbing and you can't see the peak.

And now that the restrictions are lifted, you feel the pressure to dive in headfirst and make up for all the lost time, right?

❌ WRONG!! ❌

I can guarantee you that going hard out of the gate is a recipe for disaster. I have seen it time and time again with my clients. The all-or-nothing schedule leads to a big crash and burn. And then you are back to square one.

So, instead of overcommitting and crashing, let's try something different...

Let's increase our commitment to exercise next week by 1 hour.

Yep you heard that right.1 hour. TOTAL

👉If you are starting from scratch, I would suggest breaking it up into 4 x 15 min sessions or 2 x 30 min sessions. Fit it in where you can and choose an activity that you ENJOY! 

👉If you are already in a groove but still don't feel you are active enough, add an additional 1 hour activity session. This could be a gym day, a longer outdoor activity or a killer at home session. 

Need a little more guidance from me? I built two free programs I would love to share with you! The Strong and Supple Back Program which is great for those just getting started after a long break. The Intimidation FREE Fitness Kickstart for 5 days of safe fitness in 30 min or less! Just click the link in my bio to
