Money isn’t just dollars in the bank—it’s stored choices. In this episode we take a rick and honest look into Jen Thaker's model of the world. From illness to freedom, and living a Big Beautiful Life every day. Jen shares her experience with designing a life that reflects her priorities, focusing on the power of gratitude, and why freedom starts with knowing what you truly value.

What if laughter could do more than just lighten the mood—what if it could actually help you grow? In this episode, we dive into podcast guest Marla Simlett's model of the world and explore how intentional humour can be a powerful tool for breaking down defensiveness, shifting perspective, and creating meaningful connection. From navigating tough conversations to transforming limiting mindsets, discover how laughter opens the door to personal and professional success.

Marla Simlett is a therapist, a professional speaker, and a self-declared Laughter Intelligence Facilitator.

She has had a long and varied career – starting out as a preschool teacher, child and youth care worker, going back to school at 30 to become a registered clinical counsellor and EAP program manager, and then moving into the world of corporate HR as a senior advisor and then manager focused on HR policy and program development.

And with all that under her belt, now, in what she likes to call her Act Three, she’s finally bringing together her lifelong passions – personal growth and laughter – some might say an unlikely combination. She’s here today to tell us about her mission to help people harness the power of laughter to be better and do better.

What if your symptoms weren’t the problem—but a clue? In this episode, we explore how deep healing happens when we stop fixing and start listening. Through improv, embodiment, and a root-cause approach, we uncover how creative expression can gently reveal what’s really going on beneath the surface.

Dr. Larissa van As is a naturopathic doctor, kinesiologist & wellness educator who blends science with soul. She’s known for her root-cause approach to chronic pain, gut health, and hormones—going deeper than symptoms to create lasting change. Her mission is to weave together systems of healing that bridge physiology with intuition to create a new paradigm of care.
